IMO, Dave Mustaine is The Pioneer of thrash metal. “Rust in Peace” is my all time favorite thrash album.
Thought for sure you’d say the “ Blahk-album!!” Hahahahahaa \MM/ RIP is a great album.
I say it was Cliff Burton & Ride the Lighting and then of course Puppets.
Ha, ha! You know me well, Tasker. :o)
As a huge thrash fan, full of testosterone, I just felt betrayed when Metallica released the “blah-k album. I wanted another “..Puppets” type album….and I’m still waiting, and hoping, for it!
Me, too Rattle, me too. I didn’t start getting into Metallica until 1988 Garage Days re-visited and then Justice…I loved that album and how tight it sounded to me at the time and I was 15 yr old aspiring drummer. I eventually fell in love with RTL and the MOP. Cheers \MM/
I wouldn’t see Megadeth with newer bands.
