Hi, It's great to talk Thrash Metal but what I like is the fact that you can talk about a band or track and can go to YouTube and hear what the band sounds like.
YouTube is the modern way of Tape Trading and I've discovered some fantastic bands on there.
I've already introduced you all to the '500 Thrash Metal Riffs' compilation:-


A lot of people asked if I could concentrate on specific bands so I've created Top 10 lists for 38 bands.
And if this board can't appreciate something like this then who can? Get a beer and enjoy!
So here are the links to all the Top 10s I have done:-

Thrash til Death Channel

I just clicked on the top 10 Dark angel riffs and what a load of bollocks!!! As many of you know here, i am the worlds no. 1 DA fan, , but even a partial fan should be able to tell you that dark angel did an album BEFORE darkness descends, which isnt represented once on that 10 ten list (even tho there is 15 in the list ). What about welcome to the slaughterhouse? Merciless death? Falling from the sky??? Disappointing , and as such, i probably wont click on any of the others now!!!

hahaha

He posted this on the Destruction boardsas well.

I mean, where the fuck is the opening riff to burning of sodom or perish in flames?? Even if he is gonna miss albums off, pick the memorable ones off the ones that you choose nob!!

On top of that, it's extremely difficult to choose a top ten riffs list from a band such as Coroner since I can't think of a single bad riff in their entire catalogue.

LOL Haven't heard a hissy fit like that just because someone disagrees with one of the Top 10s. Nah, I've even listened to that album again. I suspect you are being a bit sentimental because you are the 'world's no 1 DA fan' and as such have to adore every riff that DA ever made.
To me that album had an appalling production and the riffs were very simplistic. The vocals were also very poor.
It was simply a stepping stone of great things to come from DA.
You cannot honestly compare We Have Arrived to the masterpieces of Leave Scars and Time Does Not Heal. If so, your devotion to DA has diminished your hearing.
As for not clicking on the others, you know that's not gonna happen. This is a Thrash Metal board and as such, I assume you love Thrash Metal.
But I do respect your devotion and opinions regarding the awesome DA. But you will just have to respect mine as I'm probably no. 2 fan
Don't get personal though, dude. You would never do that to my face if you met me so don't do it here.

And the point being what? Jees, Dave don't be such a drama queen. Just enjoy the Riffs, dude.

You've wasted my time, you've wasted his time, you've wasted your life.

I'm out.

Listening to the vid is entirely optional. Not sure why so negative to be honest. 99.9% of feedback is positive so I know this project is not a waste of time.

This is why I think Top 10s are not a waste of time:-
1. Listen to a band you are not familiar with and you've got a whole discography to get hold of. (Nasty Savage were always under-rated). Try F.K.U. Some great Riffs there.
2. Thrashers love to bitch why it's wrong and say what it should have been.
3. Great Promotion for the bands in question. How and where did you here you're first thrash band Riff? How did you find other bands in the thrash metal genre? Until now you had to take pot luck on a good review. Now you can sample the goods before you buy.
4. I hear talk about great bands on this board. I want to hear em to see why you lot like em.
5. I get a better impression of a band from a Top 10 than just one vid of one track.
6. The Top 10 bit was just a bit of fun to promote individula bands. Getting thrashers to hear bands they were not familiar with was far more important to this whole project. (I only really did the Top 10s after lots of requests after the '500 thrash metal Riffs' compilation.)
7. If we don't get new kids into Thrash again, the Thrash revival will die! Vids like this can only help.

Actually, Mercyful Fate was going to be my next Top 10. Satan's Fall is a masterpiece so it's just an excuse to put that on YouTube.

Thrash revival hahahahaha

Oh wow, that trm always tickles my funny bone(r)

Who gives a fuck what it's called, but a lot of bands are gigging again on the back of it and the Big 4 actually played together again.
That would not have happened 10 years ago.
Even the great Artillery just produced a new album after reforming.
A lot of this has to do with the availability of CDs over the internet and the ease of finding out about bands on YouTube, MySpace etc.
It's very disappointing UK thrashers can't at least say something good about this project other than 'You're wasting my time' or 'Thrash Metal Revival' makes me laugh.
I've offered up 38 Top 10s of some great thrash bands.
And all you do is take the piss out of the term 'Thrash Metal Revival'.
I recognise your user name from before but I've noticed the board is getting very little use OR new users.
This is a fuckin Thrash Board where I thought the intention is to discuss the merits of why we like thrash.
All I feel from this board is depression and defeatism. I know England were shite but I'm here because I fuckin love thrash metal and thought other fellow uk thrashers could enjoy listening to a few thrash riffs.
I've just posted a Top 10 for Lich King who asked me to do one for them. Watch that. Enjoy the Riffs (it is a good).
Ben Meyer from Nasty Savage posted on the Nasty vid to say how cool it was.
Fuckin 'ell guys. Lighten up and enjoy the vids. !
ps 17,000 views and growing fast so someone's listening.

u mad?

Mad, I'm fuming. My son just asked me to do a Top 10 for Bullet For My Valentine. I'm now going to have to replace him

Basically you're preaching to the choir.
