THRASH vs. HEAVY METAL

You should know which one do you listen to more often, right?

I'd go with THRASH

it Keeps me loose and relaxed


Would love to know your weapon of choice

Classic Heavy Metal. Period.

Saxon, Maiden, Priest, Motorhead, Accept, pretty much all the GOOD NWOBHM bands.

And I certainly don't limit myself to the old acts either:

Hibria, Steelwing, Skull Fist, Enforcer, Ram.

It makes my existence.

Changes with the seasons. As it gets colder, I delve more into doom. Cathedral, Black Sabbath, Pagan Altar, Candlemass, old Katatonia, etc.

By spring, it's a more balanced rotation of death, thrash and classic heavy metal. It's nothing for Dismember, Saxon and Overkill to enter the same playlist!

Metal has so many awesome styles and sub-genres it's tough to get bored.

i listen to far more thrash than traditional heavy metal, but far more black metal (and, i suppose, death metal) than thrash metal.

I like'em both about equally, I guess.

My preference of the two is for classic heavy metal.

That said, I've got a not-insubstantial amount of thrash in my collection, and varying amounts of quite a few other sub-genres of metal (not to mention large amounts of stuff that doesn't even come anywhere near hard rock and metal). Really, I'm more interested in whether I like how it sounds rather than what it's labelled.

It's all Metal to me

It changes constantly. I'll go through a Thrash kick then I'll listen to traditional stuff and then something else.I listen to anything Heavy!

Don't like thrash that much, only its more melodic acts. I go with prog-power

i like it all, why choose?

No need to choose. I like them both.

Right on, same goes for me too. classic Rock too. Not too much into Thrash.

I mix it up pretty well between the 70's bands, classic 80's heavy metal and thrash, throwing in some death metal and glam metal/rock from time to time. I tend to listen to stuff like Priest, Motorhead, Maiden, Sabbath, UFO, Ted Nugent, Kiss, etc. quite a bit. I can be listening to Six Feet Under one moment then turn on some Steelheart the next.

Good call. Never thought about what genre I listen to the most.

Yessir!

I guess I'm a bit of an exception though, because I love Classic Heavy Metal, but I HATE Classic Rock. I dig Priest and Maiden, but despise Ac/Dc and Led Zeppelin. I'll take WASP and Dio, but leave Rush and Pink Floyd there to rot.

I dunno why, but that's how it is.

Right now I'm into Anger As Art...I mix it up between NWOBHM and Thrash. But my favorite is NWOBHM...

I probably listen to more thrash, but I like both pretty equally

I like both, but lean toward heavy metal and more melodic versions of thrash. I listen to what I am in the mood for. Sometimes really heavy stuff, sometimes prog, 70s, or classic rock. This week so far, its Rush - Farewell to Kings, Seventhsign - Perpetual Destiny, and Rolling Stones - 40 Licks.

Thrash over all other metal. But I two add more to the playlists as the seasons change.

I listen to hard rock/heavy metal most of the time, but I also listen to many many genres that arent even metal. But 99% of what I listen to is in the rock or metal catagory. These days I never limit myself, I did that years ago when all I listened to was thrash or death metal. Missed out on a lot of killer music.
