Thrash Metal: A Seemingly Endless Time E- Book

by **ThrashMetalLuci** on Sat Jun 02, 2007 5:17 pm

Thought this may be of interest to you lot. Paul Stenning has written a book on the past, present and future of thrash metal, currently available as an e-book in PDF format. Sounds like if enough people buy it then it will eventually be published and anyone who purchases the e-book will be sent a free copy of the hard copy if it becomes available.

Nice one Paul, god I wish I had time to write something like this!

I also hope it doesn't include bands like Hatebreed like that "Get Thrashed" documentary (which from what I seen looks otherwise cool)

Might buy it if it gets released as a book. I can't read the e-book on the bog.

Helloween?? NO disrespect to them (Kai Hansen is on par with any thrash god in my mind), but thrash?

by **thrashduck** on Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:12 pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Helloween's early stuff is thrashy, no?

I'd prefer to say speed/power metal, not a whole load of thrashing going on, but it is pretty fastly

Not up there with the a-z of thrash but very good.

The only bit I'd really be interested in would be the rarities bit.
