Metallica 2014

[mrtourette]

We now know why Russy is so moody on these boards!

He has no real friends, and has even made himself a metal one!!!!

Worst thing is it's not even a real one, it's an imaginary metal friend.

Are Metallica not one of the "Big Four" who are said to have "invented" trash metal?

I know fuck all on this but I do recall this being said to me before.......the others being Slayer, Anthrax and Iron Maiden?

Megadeth instead of Iron Maiden

[FuzzyDunlop]

I always thought stomp invented it. Banging on bins.

What a racket.

[monkey1989]

Off the top of my head I'd say venom, Judas Priest Motörhead were all going before Metallica and probably influenced their 'thrash' sound

Judas Priest are heavy metal , Motörhead did play fast for example the song overkill is pretty thrashy but Lemmy is adamant Motörhead are rock and roll ( we are Motörhead and we play rock and roll )

'The Big Four' are Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. They are certainly the most successful examples of thrash metal (when they made thrash metal), took it to the masses and are the most recognisable to then general public but as with all such things they didn't 'invent' it.

Aye, tbf they helped the genre cross into the mainstream, but not inventors.

Anyhow who gives a fuck about semantics... Is prince playing/ any good?

I'm so impressed you included the umlaut - I don't know to even do that on my keyboard

[FloorFiller]

Wasn't the lead singer of Megadeth in Metallica beforehand?

yeah Dave Mustaine. got kicked out for his drinking / drug use / being a dickhead

[mrtourette]

Yes

[russycarps]

p.s why is your friend the authority on metal ?

he's in a shouty metal band, has dead long black hair and cool tattoos

I'd love to take the plaudits but iPhone autocorrected it. What's impressed me is that Motörhead with 'heavy metal' umlauts is in the dictionary

[The Nal]

Yes and he got fucks out for being an idiot.

Regarding "inventing" trash, they didn't. But the bands they covered on Garage Inc had a huge hand in it.

[mrtourette]

so is there not an argument for it being the big 3 then??

(I know nothing of this as is probably obvious).

Why?

Megadeth were still a pretty successful thrash band. as was stated before - those bands didn't invent thrash. they were just the biggest thrash bands who managed to break through

Dont you mean banging on "trash cans"?

You say "invented" but back in the day the belief was that they couldn't play better than that.

They caused a massive schism in metal fans.

[russycarps]

The attention to detail you've put into him has got to be applauded.

did I mention his manly hairy chest?

[monkey1989]

haha ok fair enough

That was just the way I remember someone saying it to me hence the "" marks. From what I have just read it seems the term Trash Metal began to be used at the time the "Big Four" started making that style popular, but it had existed for up to 10 year prior, but was not categorized as such. So I think that is were the confusion lies within such statements.

Anyway as I said I know fuck all about this and only ever had a handful of trash metal cassettes when I was about 10 and that phase in my music upbringing lasted probably about a weekend!

Well, I'd say that Soni have just about confirmed that Metallica are playing Glasto.

All that remains is whether they'll be headlining.

Why? Because Dream Theatre are playing?

They're going to replace Metallica at Soni?

Hoo Yeah!

So what have Soni said that makes this pretty much confirmed?

Removed any claims of "only UK appearance".

I cant see one anyway

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Nope the original article stating "ONLY CONCERTS EITHER BAND WILL PLAY IN THE UK IN 2014." is still on their website.

Curious that they haven't mentioned it since though.
