Oh great, so gigs are going to be full of trendy wannabe thrashers who are gonna look like emos in municipal waste shirts that deep down just wanna look cool and really dont give a shit about the music.

It'll be just like a fucking heretic gig :evil:

It also slightly unsettles me that trend-jumpers would latch onto thrash.

I don't mind who listens to the music, but treat it with some goddamn respect will you please!??!

I wouldn't get too worried. This is the NME we are talking about. They build 'em up and knock 'em down. Expect a "Thrash Metal is crap" article in a few weeks time.

Just because something is mainstream doesn't make it shit, you have to judge all music on its individual merit, not by how popular it is.

very strange the NME promoting UK Thrash

Don't have a problem with something making the charts on its own merits (e.g. Maiden) but I'm not keen on things DESIGNED to be mainstream I suppose you could say.

Besides if trend hoppers jump onto thrash, give them a few years and they won't care anymore. You can always tell a real metaller from a fake!

i'd rather play full gigs to a bunch of wee fannies who know nothing about the genre but have an interest than to a group of 10 so called 'real' thrashers anyday,people like that are poseurs anyway, and they piss me off, scared that thrash will do well so they can't be a wee elite clique thinking they are better than everyone else coz they have 300 thrash bands on their hard drive rather than 293, i say, bring on widespread interest in thrash, doesnt matter who the fuck turns up, if people are there and mainstream mags are supporting it then thats gotta be a good thing, in some ways i feel thrash fans and bands don't do themselves any favours, like an us against the world thing, we can get nowhere by being a bunch of stuck up posuers and tell them all to fuck off because their not good enough for the music, or put the music out there and welcome them. :dance:

UK Thrash in NME!
