THRASH - Were not 100% sure what constitutes as thrash - Bruising rhythms? Finger-breaking solo's? but we like the combination of heaviness and aggro.
NU METAL - Nor are we exactley sure what makes music nu metal. Piercings and dreds? quitars with rapping? Red hats? but we like its rididiculousness!
The Big Name
Slayer - Arguably the best of Thrash and boast the best guitarist, Kerry King and Dave Lombardo, who came together after the latter delivered the former a pizza.
Slipknot - Nice masks, jars of dead crows, vomit and upside down drum kits, Slipknot are so absurdly brilliant in the flesh that it's easy to forget how ace they are on record.
INCREDIBLE OR TERRIBLE!
NU METAL
This Month:
Municipal Waste tour: The US thrashers come to Glasgow, Nottingham and Bristol through December.
Taste of Chaos tour: Disturbed and Papa Roach come to Birmingham, Manchester and Plymouth through December.
WINNER? - Our office voted and decided upon Thrash. Bigger riffs, better artwork and no fat blokes in red hats. Thrash might not have the 'jumping around a room while drunk' fun of nu metal, but there's more shite than good when it comes to our rapping nu metal friends.
What's your vote?
