Looking at the forum today, I know it's the current 'joke' that thrash is almost a tabboo topic amongst the established posters, but it's kind of a shame that that's now the status quo - it kind of makes me sympathise with the newer or younger members getting disillusioned with this place.
Anyway, this isn't to preach, it's just a declaration of faith: thrash still rules! I really, really like thrash metal! Of course there are plenty of bland throw-aways in the genre, but think of all the Heathens and Destructions and Holy Terrors and Dark Angels and Vio-lences out there that make you want to headbang all day. Of course I like lots of other styles, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who still likes thrash as much as ever!
Great post James.
I still love Thrash, I have done since I was 15 and I probably love it even more now than I did back then. Despite the fact that most of the music I listen to isn't Thrash, I do still love it and I'm certain I always will.
