Surely you could shape your own opinion from what you like the most?

British wise, I probably prefer the newer stuff, exceptions would be Sabat and maybe silly Lawnmower Deth or Acid Reign.

Still to hear stuff that massively blows the big bois in European/American thrash out of the water yet.

Blates old ffs.

wat really annoys me tho is wen people say things like "evile is the new metallica man!", its like totally different, or wen metalhamer said that gamabomb is a testament rip off. wtf?!

yer i do in a way, but some ppl beem listining to thrash longer, and maybe can offer me some wise advice, like an old wizard teaching his apprentice new magic shit

I prefer old thrash, I love new thrash aswell but it just dosen't have the same aggression as the old stuff

I dont see and new vs. old. The old sound cant have had an overall agressive edge over alll the new stuff, its all recorded differently not as a whole. I dont see a divide. I see bands i like, and bands i dont.

the new bands havent had the time to mature yet so they're still bringing out generic albums and singing about moshing and beer. In a few years some might get good.

Both are shit.

Thrash was done to death in the 80's. Every angle was covered back then so this forlorn hope to hear something that isn't "generic" is almost laughable. If you aren't generic then you aren't Thrash. Thrash died for a reason in the early 90's. It got boring and repetitive and it will happen again (but a bit more quickly).

But Hair Metal died at roughly the same time and it wasn't generic at all. If anything, the bands had only just got on to covering meaningful subjects - like death and Nam - when it went tits-up.

I was commenting on the music, not the lyrical content.

Hair Metal was killed by the fact that the bands all ended up with either habits that were killing them or out of control egos that killed the "band".
