: Thrash riffs sound so thin and powerless
: after
: you listen to death metal that's tuned to B
: or even A. I always found it amusing when
: thrash bands bragged about tuning down--yet
: they only tuned down to d!
: And that one-two thrash drum beat... thank
: #### that dm incorporated more involved
: drumming, much higher velocities, and
: blasting.

: The worst thing about thrash is the
: vocals... whining, snot-nosed snarling,
: semi-shouting, but rarely ever deep and
: powerful... sometimes thrash singers even
: sounded as though they were bored... why
: didn't they ever get it that low notes are
: heavier than high notes?
:
: The lyrical content was dire as
: well--nuclear war! World War III! #### the
: government!
: The worst, though, were the 'jokey' thrash
: bands.

: The bottom line: people listened to thrash
: for the speed, the intensity, the
: heaviness... yet death metal eclipses thrash
: in these respects. Why bother to listen to
: thrash when we have dm?
: It's akin to choosing to keep driving a Golf
: when your budget allows for a Ferrari.
: Death metal is the alpha male, the apex
: predator, of metal; thrash, meanwhile, is
: simply weak, slow, and outmatched. Let it
: die!
