OK, I take it back. It's thrash metal I have the real problem with, as I like some of the bands from some of the other 'softer' sub-genres. All these bands are officially shit and anyone who likes them should be, or has been, labotomised

 

 

I have albums by most of those bands and i don't think you have a clue what you're talking about at all.

 

Anthrax are one of the best metal bands ever, with thought provoking ltrics and excellent melody. To call them 'thrash' is simplistic and frankly just wrong.

 

BTW, the wife typed this for me after my labotomy :)

 

Riding hard, high in the saddle

Winged steed of unwearing flight

Sweeping through air just like fire

Swift of the foot, great of might

 

Hear the screams

Feel the bite

We ride with death

Tonight

 

Here it comes

You better hide

Shoot the guns

You're gonna die

 

Conquering all, spreading terror

Hoofs gallop in thunderous pound

Devouring the souls of the wretched

Trampling them down to the ground

 

Gripping the reins of destruction

Made of steel on his hands

Holder of forces immortal

Slaughtering all in his path

 

 

Only thought that provokes is 'the fuck?'

I never knew Deathrider was Anthrax's only song. And for the record, regarding their other music, the inclusion of comedy and swearing doesn't automatically make a song poorly written. Edited by TheInspiration
