^Mike, Metallica was a 100% thrash band only in ONE album... ONE. Here calling them thrash i'ts like equivalent to saying "not PA material".

They were a thrash band in 1981-1983 but in 1984 they already released some more complex pieces. Is The Call of Ktulu a thrash song? Put it on a DT record and it's progressive metal. But nah, Metallica is a very diverse metal/heavy rock band with some progressive leanings, so if you really had to put them on the site, it would definitely go to prog related, I think.
But I guess this has been discussed many times before and we all see the results. |

Priest's more recent output has certainly used thrash techniques - but the thrash techniques pretty much originated with Priest in the track "Exciter", which uses the fundamental alternate picked riffing ("thrashing" technique.
Thrash carries dumb connotations, but really, it's a guitar technique the same as two-handed neck tapping (as pioneered by Steve Hackett and developed by Eddie Van Halen) or sweep and alternate-picked leads(shredding) - and so many metal bands use it (including "Progressive" ones like Dream Theater, Meshuggah and Opeth), that any "dumb" connotations with the word "thrash" are in the minds of those that have them.
It's actually a Progressive technique, in the same way as the others I mentioned.
Metallica are a thrash metal band in EXACTLY the same way that Dream Theater or Meshuggah are.
They are also a Progressive Rock band in the same way. Edited by Certif1ed - August 20 2008 at 03:46 |

The important thing is not to stop questioning.
