The lyrics are actually sort of offensive, I don't normally care for what the song is saying, I mean yeah, it's nice once and a while to have cool lyrics but I don't look for it in music ( I do like Cannibal Corpse after all), but with Slayer it's just ridiculous, aside from that the solos are terrible. Maybe Jeff's are okay I'm not sure but Kerry can't go without riding a whammy bar if his life depended on it. A few riffs are kinda cool, but it also seems like a lot of the songs were like "Alright, I'm gonna play REALLY fast, and you are gonna play REALLY fast, an you, ummm, yeah you play REALLY fast, and uhhhh the bass go REALLY fast on the E string and then say some stuff in the microphone....YEAH WOO!"

They believe in writing chaotic music and they hit that spot on. That is just their style. some people dont like it. They do write so brutal riffs tho You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

There are only a handful of thrash that had great solo's in the music, the rest are just consisted of fast jobberish solos and dive bombs.

Yea, I like Slayer but they are kind of cliche at this point. But agreed they have some brutal riffing You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yea, thats why I said handful. I listen to a lot of obscure thrash bands and most of the solo standards are like that ie fast incoherent solos with dive bombs. I personally don't mind it or hate it since I love thrash. Of course, bands still produced some decent solos with melodies, but its also lost from all of this. Also, early Blind Guardian were Speed Metal like Agent Steel. I don't even know how Blind Guardian can be lumped up like Kill Em' All or Agent Orange or something.

It actually goes very well with the image, really fast and agressive music. I think Slayer is one of the most important metal-bands in the world, I've seen them live twice and both times it was amazing. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thrash isent really the thing I listen most to, but if I do I listen to Testament. Really love the guitarwork of Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

There early work is really good, Some of the best Thrash albums, Hell Awaits, South Of Heaven, Reign In Blood etc., And the lead work is pretty obscure, especially Kerry Kings, Jeff Hanneman has some more audible and memorable solos though. Overall a classic and essential band for the development of thrash, Like VinceG said, A lot of thrash is more about the riffs than the solos.

That makes thrash a horrible genre (generally speaking, there are some good exceptions) in my ears. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just off the top of my head: Testament, Annihilator, Metallica, Megadeth and Evile Those are just the bigger names, youtube some of their solos. Yeah you guys already know Metallica and Megadeth, well those solos are typical of thrash Sure they sound the same but it fits the frantic mood on the music perfectly anyway, that being said, I CAN'T STAND KERRY KING'S SOLOS!!!! He makes some of the most crushing riffs in human history and I'm sure he has considerable chops so it's really a shame he uses the whammy bar like a crutch. It works sometimes, but not every time!

Kerry King is like a chromatic solo guitar player - he plays ascending and descending notes really fast. It's kinda clear he has no formal understanding of music theory. HOWEVER, they make BRUTUAL riffs: Reign in Blood Blood Red Dead Skin Mask South of Heaven ...just a few - awesome riffages Offensive lyrics? That's the POINT! It's extreme bad*ss metal!

I'm not complaining though since thrash is about the riffs, solo's just enhance on how crazy and fast the music is. That being said, I also said that only a handful of bands had great or decent solos. I can name about 1-3 bands that had decent solos over 20 not so great solos. Even my fav's aren't known for solos. I don't care thrash for me is about riffs. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
