		Formerly one of the 'Big Four' of 80's thrash metal, Megadeth realize that in order to win and survive in todays calamitous state of heavy music, they must build not bigger bombs, but smarter ones.
		Okay, so it's true, metal music is in a renaissance currently, which means that it's not your big brother's heavy metal anymore, and it's not quite the stuff I grew up with in the 80's and early 90's.
		When I was first turned on to what was called 'speed metal' or most affectionately, 'thrash metal', the year was 1988, I was nearly fifteen, just starting to play guitar, and Metallica was my god.

	In Music We Trust - Megadeth: Risk
		Although all four bands of the original "big four" of eighties thrash metal are still going strong, they have all in one way or another presented perplexing dilemmas for their fans.
		This is without question the furthest they have ever strayed from their "thrash" sound.
		There is a lot of subjectivity in analyzing which of these two types of experimentation has happened and there is, admittedly, a lot of grey between the two concepts.

	Hard History Part IV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Also noteworthy is the fact that Testament was at one time considered part of the "Big Four" of the thrash metal scene, before Slayer took over its position with what is considered by many to be one of the crucial thrash metal albums of all time: 1986's Reign In Blood.
		Additionally, Germany was feeding the general enthusiasm with what was one of the most important thrash metal scenes apart from the one in the San Francisco Bay Area, placing acts such as Destruction, Kreator, Tankard, and Sodom in the movement and injecting it with what at one time was labeled Teutonic thrash.
		Even then, however, thrash metal was still far from achieving the success it deserved and strived for.

		Metallica is a mere shadow of its former self, doomed to never match their classic first four albums.
		Slayer might have stayed true to their thrash metal roots over the years, but they've always managed to progress with each album.

		All of the "Big Four" have won at least twice around the world this year, and Retief Goosen has yet to pick up a first-place finish in 2005.
		This just shows he has been as consistent as anyone else in the "Big Four." He is currently fifth in the world rankings and 1.25 points behind Mickelson for fourth.
		The gap is far too large not to include Goosen in the "Big Five." He is just a win or two away from definitely being near the top, and that could happen at anytime during the year.

		This subgenre was pioneered by the 'Big Four Of Thrash', Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, with bands like San Francisco's Testament and Exodus, New Jersey's Overkill and Brazil's Sepultura also making an impact.
		With the exception of Metallica, who sold consistently in the millions and even appeared on the Billboard chart at #6 with "...And Justice for All" during the 1980s, Thrash was more underground in terms of sales and media coverage, compared to more popular subgenres.
		From the 1980s and into the 1990s power metal, especially in Europe, evolved in an opposite direction from death metal and thrash by keeping the speed, anti-commercial mentality and intensity of heavy metal but focusing on upbeat and epic themes and melodies.

		With each succeeding release their popularity grew, and with the release of 1986's Master Of Puppets (one of the most popular thrash albums of all time), it was clear that it would only be a matter of time before true worldwide fame would be theirs.

		To sum up what makes thrash drumming so brutal and breakneck is that the snare is played on the "&" beat of the measure (1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &, etc.) For a good deal of this record, Charlie plays on the main beat a lot (meaning playing on 1, 2, 3, 4).
		All of these tracks are the style that would cement Anthrax as legends of thrash metal, and are Anthrax at their creative, as well as musical peak.
		With this performance, they cemented their place in the Big Four of thrash and became one of the best known and respected thrash acts in the world.

		Thrash metal pioneer Slayer always has courted controversy, and its newest album, "Christ Illusion" shows no signs that the band is softening with age.
		When you do the thrash thing for however long they did it and you go away from it for years, you can't just come back and pretend that you've been a thrash band all that time.
