Real thrash has awesome basswork.
 

I have been listening to the headlining bands to the 2nd Annual Bay Area Trash Fest that I'm attending in two weeks, and all bands have super hot bass players. Testament, Death Angel, and Sadus. Compared to other acclaimed thrash bands (ie: Metallica), the other bands have boring basslines.

To further support my case:

Testament - Riding The Snake :love:
Death Angel - Discontinued
Sadus - Words Of Wisdom (So awesome how closely the bassist follows the guitar riffs. Also get Aggression, asphyxy mentioned that one before I think)

I can't wait for the 27th. It is going to be so ****ing sick. :mad: \m/

note: these aren't growly bands, so don't ask, 'nunder :p

Some hot shit there:y:

Death Angel especially rule(d) the school, literally.

They're back together and writing new shit, so that is good times. They're going to tear shit up at the show. It's amazing what a couple of 14 year olds could do. :love:

Thrash metal is the second best genre of music.</font>

<font color=969696>Also, Testament and Sadus both have the best bassist in the world, Steve DiGiorgio.</font>

Testament is the shit.

Not to indirectly disrespect Testament, but the best description I can give to someone hearing them for the first time is "this what Metallica would sound like with talent".

Joel I was listening to Testament when you were still in nappys :mad:

Foo, I'm merely minutes away from Testament's hometown - Oakland. Don't matter how long you be listenin', I be reppin' the 510 with da Testament LIKE WHAT. STEP UP WHAT WHAT WHAT

Get Manowar - sting of the bumblebee! i think it's on kings of metal album.

Manowar, that famous thrash band. :wtf:

I was on about bass lines that i also happen to think is impressive.

Slash's Snakepit did a song called serial killer, which i think is the only post-gnr slash song i like.

But ill check out this serial killer.

<font color=969696>I guarantee that Vio-lence is 50x better.</font>

JJ Moore can shut the **** up right abouuuuuuuuut... now.
