One of the worst bands i've seen live, ever. They were opening for Iron Maiden and the singer thought he was the big star lmao.
Terrible performance and people started chanting "Maiden, Maiden, Maiden" during their concert lol... so yeah maybe i'm biased but even their records are so cheesy...

A wild Jason Newsted appears:

 

[Airola]

Wait what are people hating on Helloween now?

 

[Meowzers]

Since when are Pantera and Slipknot thrash lol. You need to go get your metal facts straight.

I'm really new to this music. Didn't say Corey was, but they're my fave frontmen. Listening to them on a collab track would be insane.

Plus at the time...and right now I was a good 10 beers into a good session.

Pantera? Must have been a bad day then, because Pantera live were absolutely wild.

James Hetfield

James Hetfield

A good choice. Can't lie, he probably inspired most bands going forward since. I still prefer Phil Anselmo for pure hyping the crowd up, but James just had that something extra. I'm sure they respect one another though.

Yeah, but what about Future World?

 

[Senua]

And the all time best metal vocalist, thrash or anything, is GUY RITTER!
One of the most unique metal voices ever.

This is probably his best vocal performance, phenomenal super emotional stuff:

READY OR NOOOOOOTTTTTT, HERE I COOoooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOMEEEEE

Power metal? Cheesy? No way!! /s

No, Helloween...

I can stand some cheese... i enjoy Rhapsody or Luca Turilli for instance but Helloween is too much.

 

[dorkimoe]

Probably not thrash, but neither is metallica.

Howard Jones

 

[PrimetimeKnight]

Tom Araya and Dave Mustaine are at the top of the mountain. He may not necessarily be thrash but Ronnie James Dio has the voice of a god.

 

[Faenrir]

Dickinson is the best metal singer (and frontman) if you're going to include heavy

So you like cheese when it's done seriously and without humor but don't like it when it's done with humor and tongue in cheek?

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Howard Jones

Metallica are one of the big four thrash bands. I hope this is some kind of joke.

And Howard isn't even the best Killswitch Engage singer.

I was semi kidding. Categorization of music still confuses me. But i do love howard

 

[HF2014]

Lots of great voices for thrash metal bands, but always love Steve Souza from Exodus.



James Hetfield voice in And Justice for All is also pretty great. Well i think all voices from Thrash metal bands from 80s- 90s were fitting th

Its not thrash, but Chuck Schuldiner from Death got the perfect Death Metal voice in Leprosy, Spiritual Healing, Human.



Always consider hearing the lyrics in voices of a Death Metal bands were better than screaming, yelling voice like Cannibal Corpse, etc. Probably a reason why i like Deicide first album bette than all the others after.

Oh and please shut up, Pantera is thrash metal!

I like when singers can actually sing

And yeah, Chuck had the best dm voice ever... funny, he didn't like it...just like Hendrix

 

[DESTROYA]

Dave Mustain and Chuck Billy get my votes

 

[Woo-Fu]

Song is more relevant today than when it was crafted.
