In todays video we're going to explore certain characteristics of the Thrash Metal genre, common characteristics and traits that are connected to thrash metal.

""Anger is ok as long as it's not St-Anger"" had me laughing pretty good!
truth!
That awkward moment when you actually like St. Anger. I like they went back to thrash roots. Some may argue it's not a thrash album (no guitar solos also in this list), but after having having to suffer the horror that is I Disappear from the MI soundtrack, I'm glad they got away from crap like that. I'll gladly listen to St. Anger over Load/Reload/Black album any day.
But yeah I laughed as well. I understand the hate. It does sound like crap after all. But at least they got some speed back.
@@jimmym3352 how in the actual fuck does the unforgiven get beaten out by any st anger song I mean.....the abortion snare personal my favorite album is lulu the view was a banger song I'd give it a listen
Rule 101: be 19 forever
too late. 🤘
Dave mustaine looked young for a long time. This makes him the ultimate thrash god
I'm 19 now. I'll try
@@HeathenwoodOfficial same lol
@@maksymilianszyc9224 And then someone knocked over the portrait of himself he has in his attic and the years hit him all at once. Oddly around the same time he found God, hmm...
“Cliff Burton is a god” may as well have been one of the 10 commandments
Lemmy is God, Cliff is the son
@@thedjentleman1662 I won’t fight, I’ll just ask why you think that
@The Djentleman *so you have chosen death*
@@JulianVic DYING TIME IS HEEEERE
@@dimitrisavic4702 he's great bassist, no doubt about that, but he isn't the god everybody think he is, when I think of the metal bass god, I think more of Steve DeGiorgio (Testament), dude shreds on a freakin fretless, that's my opinion, I respect yours
5. Cliff Burton is a god...
101. Dave Mustaine is also a god
Gods don't make Risk. ;)
@@RuthlessMetalYT but Gods make Rust in Peace
@@dabliodeguester6332 yeah, they made some good albums, but half of them are kinda useless hehe
@@RuthlessMetalYT Or a God that tried his best to make Marty happy...There's always that...
40. Henneman is GOD
Rule number 101
If you're drunk don't say I am drunk
Say I am Thrash
dyunk metayll
This is true, especially among your fellow band members
102:
If you're drunk and violence you will getting back to your own town by bus
Drink beer for thrash!
Thrashers rules
Rule 1. Become a metal elitist and your top of your game.
Rule 2. Hate any other band after the mid 90s
Rule 3. No matter what you do drink beer and eat pizza.
Rule 4. When you go to back yard shows no matter who plays, just be unimpressed with your arm crossed
Rule 5. Always pregame at the parking lot, to the point you don’t even remember what band are you going to see.
Rule 6. Wear a battle vest. The more patches the more cooler you are than others.
Rule 7. Hit/flirt on at every girl at any show even if their taken.
Rule 8. Always be entitled to your music opinions even if they’re not facts
Rule 9. Support underground bands even if they don’t play
Rule 10. Hate on any band who become successful out of the underground and call them sell outs.
Rule 11. If it ain’t metal, it sucks
Sounds like the rules of punk fans too
Rule 11. If it ain't metal it sucks.
@@theccarbiter the genres are the different but the scene from punk and thrash are the same but running in two parallel lines
@@alejandrochavez9893 thats pretty accurate, only difference is punk is more left while thrash is more right
@@theccarbiter that’s very true. The only time punks and thrashers come together when it comes to Motörhead. That’s why lemmy is god. No one couldn’t unite two different scenes into one like how lemmy did.
Be annoyed by any Metallica fan who was younger than a teenager in mid 80s
One RULE to rule them all: Make THRASH METAL great again!!!!!
Thrash is my favorite genre of metal, and I approve of most of this list.
🤘
There were a few funny ones. If this were official though I found myself to be a big rule breaker.
this is the bible of metal heads, if you break one, you might as well break all of them, whats next, you think bob rock is a bassist than cliff burton?
just kidding
Cliff Burton is a God---- enough for me to like this video.
Yeah, that's the basics! hehe
@@RuthlessMetalYT
#69 Motorhead is not Thrash but, they certainly influenced a lot of Thrash metal bands, "Kill Em All" definitely is a album influenced by Motorhead, you can tell Lars is definitely influenced by Philthy Phil, & James by Lenmy.🤘🏽✊🏾🎸🍻💀
I thought Lemmy was God.
@@MrRed-tf7bv Motörhead is technically not heavy metal band and never was just for the fact that they always claimed to be a “rock n roll” band. Same thing is true of Black Sabbath.
That is just fucking awesome!!! Metallica had only 4 good albums and Dave wrote them all! Fucking love it
Rule 101: This is the Bible
OBEY!
Not mine. I don't care about rules just to be pure Thrash metal fan.
@@RuthlessMetalYT Rule 101, NEVER wear gold jewelry. 🤘🏽🎸🍻✊🏽
@@MrRed-tf7bv I'm wearing a gold and silver bracelet right now😂
@@RuthlessMetalYT The Conjuring reference? :)
It’s pretty spot on
Thank you Sir!
..and Megadeth fans were ex-Metallica Fans.. Because Dave wrote them all...😎😎
In the 90s we had Death Metal to fill in for thrash: Deicide, Morbid Angel.
In the 90s I listened to Death Metal not just thrash, I didn't want to make it look like I was living in 80's during the 90's
🤘
Only Death metal was already on track in 1984
True. Death metal
We had Sludge and Doom too. I get hating "grunge", but being a huge AIC fan, I can appreciate that they contributed to Sludge and Doom metal. Nirvana was pure cancer, though.
The tape trading brings back really good memories. Holy shit, I'm old.
I hear ya. The tape trading hit me right in the nostalgia button.
This getting old thing is a trip.
✌🏽🤘🏼
I was born to late to live that but I started collecting tapes and bought a awesome walkman. I love how they sound.
I'm too young to have any memories about trading music physically, or even physical music in general. Makes me sad in a way but also appreciate the convenience
You forgot one rule:To drink as much as you can Alcoholica
Drink 'em all
Master of whiskey
Ride the alcohol
Another urgent important rule:do a top 100 Thrash metal album list.
I thought of doing lists like that. :)
@@RuthlessMetalYT please do my man..do a varied list keeping one entry for every band.
I'll start:
1. Reign in Blood
2 Kill 'em all
3. Extreme Aggression
4)Sodom:Agent Orange
5)Destruction:Bestial Invasion
6)Flotsam:Doomsday
7) Darkness Descends
8) Handle with Care
9) Peace sells
10) Among the living
SLAYER!!!!
SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRR!!!
FUCKING SLAYER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Skurwiel6669 You've done it correctly.....FUCKIN' SLAAAAYYYYEEERRR!!!
FFUUCCKKIINNGG SSLLAAYYEERR!!!!!\,,/!!!!!
SLAYERRRRRR FUCKING SLAYERRRRRRRR
0:55
Amen. Was hoping something would be mentioned about Cliff.
Rest in Peace, Cliff
4:27 WHIPLASH
Rule 40!!! HANNEMAN FOREVER!! Still Reigning and R.I.P for the greatest legend of this genre.
Rule #55 made me feel represented!! Greetings from Brazil :))
Cheers!
I think Venom was the first thrash band. Also grunge killed glam more than it did thrash. Death metal took over in the 90s.
i agree with you, i cannot see how Grunge could have appealed to most metalheads, there is no link between those two kind of music. Grunge just took away the media spotlight from Thrash but not their fans
I agree. The Big Four (plus Testament) have released some good albums in the last 2 decades: Christ Illusion, Hardwired to self destruct, For All Kings, The World Needs a Hero, The System Has Failed, Endgame, Dystopia, Titans of Creation, etc.
Yes Sir!
Rather Overkill instead of Testament.
Do not forget about Metallica’s Death Magnetic and Beyond Magnetic, Anthrax’s Worship Music, Slayer’s World Painted Blood, and Megadeth’s United Abominations, as well as the stuff Exodus, Overkill, and Death Angel have been putting out since then.
"Acoustic guitars are only allowed for intros and outros"
This video gets better as it goes along XD
🤘
Really excellent video! As a longtime, old-school thrash metal fan, these 100 rules had me nostalgic actually....to a time when music had identity attached to it. Long live thrash metal 🤘
those were the good 'ol days. :) 🤘
Rule 101. Denim vest must be cut from a full denim jacket, or it doesn't count.
Loved and Laughed at many of these.
Some will go over some peoples heads.
Great Video
yeah, you can't buy a denim vest that's for sure. :) 🤘🏻
Rule 101: never red 'metallica' out loud on the first two album covers, read it 'alcohollica'
Great video. I grew up on 80s thrash and I can definitely relate to most of these rules. Very well done!
Cheers!
I have failed many of these as a thrasher I must strive to do better thank you for showing me the way
Yes, you have to obey these metal commands! 🤘🏻 hehe
@@RuthlessMetalYT thank you you are a trve metal head
I can't follow rule #56. Alice In Chains and Soundgarden are badass.
My two favorite grunge bands
And it's only top of the mountain, same in manner of thrash
Cliff Burton! Yes! I will never forget Cliff playing Anesthesia Pulling teeth in front of us, 15th Jan 1985... after having waited 2+ hours in - 15C (yes... minus 15...) to get album signed and then another 2 hours in line to be able to get front row center for the venue... Priceless.
And yeah, totally respect tape trading!
Where was the concert that the temperature was -15C?
@@vietnamd0820 Canada... :)
@@brunozzz2736
Ah ok! I wish I could’ve been at that show...I was 11 years old at the time...I didn’t get into Metallica until I was 14
As someone who got into thrash metal (and metal in general) very recently, I find this very informative.
thank you Sir. :) thrash metal is amazing.
it's a sad thing when you have to give a disclaimer about such things. in my day, Metalheads had a sense of humor and got the jokes w/o having them spoon fed to them.
Yeah, People take everything seriously so I have to mention it otherwise I'll get 30 angry messages trying to school me on stuff. haha
Sad but true
@@rejiix Good Metallica song
My Big four:
DARK ANGEL
FORBIDDEN
DEATH ANGEL
SLAYER
All rules check!
101: Always fight over which band is better when talking about the big4
( I have seen this one many times in real life as well as in youtube comments and sometimes people start cursing each other )
haha, yeah, people are fascinated by the big four.
@@RuthlessMetalYT there was Big Four that existed before the Big Four of Thrash. It's the Big Four of the British Invasion. The Big Four of The British Invasion are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks. I'm a huge fan of the 60s music scene. The 60s changed a lot in music like the 80s did. The 70s and 90s were decent, but they're not as awesome as the 60s and 80s were. And The Kinks totally the Number 4 spot for British Invasion bands more than Anthrax being apart of the Big Four of Thrash. Sepultura is a part of my Big Four. I get that Metallica gets a lot of hate, but I don't really care. What makes they high on my list is Kill Em All and Ride the Lighting. Loves these albums to death that they're both in my top 10 for rock/metal albums of all time. Megadeth is really awesome too. Dave Mustaine is a guitar god. Their discography is more consistent than Slayer in my opinion, although Slayer is awesome too. Their 80s albums are really awesome. The 90s wasn't that kind to them, but Seasons in the Abyss is excellent. The rest is pretty solid. Sepultura is one of my other favorite metal bands too. My top 3 albums from them are Beneath the Remains, Arise, and Chaos AD. These 3 albums alone makes them an excellent band. They did struggle after Max left, but they did bounce back, and with their most recent album being so good, it looks like they're back in the game. Sepultura hasn't replaced Slayer because they're already in my Big Four. Slayer's replacement is Sodom.
Forgot to say that Sodom replaces Slayer in the Current Big Four of Thrash because Slayer broke up in 2019. So currently, my Big Four Bands that are still around are Metallica, Megadeth, Sepultura and Sodom.
@@takodabostwick8507 Sodom is already in Teutonic Big4 maybe you can replace Testament or Exodus with Slayer however i dont really think you can do that if you want to do so you also have to replace Metallica because everyone agrees they strayed from the path of thrash at some point but they are a still a member of Big4
@@MJ-el8ei Overkill then for American Thrash. Overkill are legends and kind of underrated in my opinion. And they're still killing it. They have the most albums of any thrash band too. And with Metallica, Kill Em All and Ride the Lighting are so good, that even the low points don't take down these 2 high points in my opinion.

RIP
Absolutely killer vid. Really funny. Made me realize I agree with most of them. Probably the best one for me is "Old school is the only school".
Thank you, Cheers!
LOL! This was good. I have had most of those thoughts over the years. You nailed it.
hehe, thanks!
You just got a new subscriber. Love your thrash metal related video. Thrash metal forever.
thanks boss! Cheers!
REST IN POWER RILEY GALE
A few good ones there. The best - says canadian thrash is underrated , shows Razor' s Evil Invaders album! Instant credibility. Thank you sir for acknowledging the best thrash band ever.
So true! I love this! It was like an autobiography of myself!
A completely accurate summary of thrash culture, and what makes it great
Thrash or be Thrashed is the anthem of thrash metal
Oh, yes. Im talking about the song by M.O.D - Thrash or be Thrashed.
Yes Sir!
Another rule
E standard is the only tuning to play in
I like drop d but that's really it. Any other type of tuning isnt for me
Great video! Very creative! 🤘
thanks
That was awesome man.
thank you Sir
Rule 58 is honestly the best rule that more people in that thrash fanbase should live by
I saw sepultura in Stockholm in march of 1992 it was fantastic, I'm old now😞
I’m with you...I saw sepultura on Halloween 1989...it was great
🤘🏼🔥
Just found this video, and there's more to laugh at and think about in this list than I've seen in a while! Bang on!!
⚡🤘😎👍⚡
Cheers!
This is a pretty funny video lmao. I probs broke at least thirty of these rules, if not more.
Your punishment will be 30 days of only listening to Poison!
Cliff Bruton is god! Yes!!! WIll never forget seeing them Jan 15th 1985, skipping school and having waited 2 hours by - 15oC to get my album autographed then another 2 hours to be able to enter amongst the first and be front row center in the venue they were playing. And song #4 played: ANESTHESIA- PULLING TEETH! Bliss...
Cheers!
"old school is the only school" yeah that's me, the genre never felt as good and authentic after the 80's and early 90's IMO.
What about.... 3 inches of blood
Municipal waste
Gama bomb
...& many more keeping thrash going

Just for this video alone, I'm a follower! Nice cult you have here!🤘
thank you and welcome!
RIP FAST EDDIE CLARK
RIP
I love these, but disagree with 97 here. Sepultura are on a 3 album run that meets (exceeds in my opinion) the classic run of Beneath, Arise, Chaos. What Eloy Casagrande has given them is insane and Andreas is writing the best music of his career !!!
Nah, Sepultura hasn't done anything decent since Beneath. :) I've listened to the last 2-3 records and some of those 90s records, they are slightly becoming better but still not really worth my time in my opinion, but. :)
@@RuthlessMetalYT
Arise, Chaos AD and Roots have great songs on them...maybe the entire albums aren’t great like Beneath The Remains, but those three albums still deserve at least some praise
Great channel man. Best regards from the UK! \11/
thank you Sir! 🤘
@@RuthlessMetalYT - happily making my own metal today... I got my lil' home studio up and together during the lockdown. I make my money as a musician, but I play live as an 'unplugged' act, you know, Dylan- style singer-songwriter, just me and a mic & acoustic guitar, which I fingerpick, and have established a rep as quite a good unplugged player. But in lockdown with no gigs or sessions... My TRUE love comes to the fore - a heart of METAL!!! So at last, my rig is up together and I'm chugging dusk til' dawn... I've got a meagre channel which I have just started to become active on again, you are most welcome to come and have a look. All the very best, stay healthy.... AND IN Rock n' Roll THERE ARE NO RULES!!!
As a Canadian, I agree with 51
The absolute non negotiables
5 - Cliff Burton is a god
28- venom
32- dont sing about things that don't exist
40- respect Hanneman
44- respect the Dinos
50- Slaaayyerrr
51- Canadian thrash is underrated/ long live Razor, long live thrash
59- Thrash or be thrashed
68- fuck poseurs
71- avoid blast beats
97- no Sepultura without Max and Igor Cavallera.
Annihilator
71: Even when Gene Hoglan does it?
97 I like Sepultura without the Cavallera’s...that said, my favorite album is still Beneath The Remains
There are sick thrash songs about things that don't exist though, like four horsemen, and hangar 18
@@colincheshire6366 hanger 18 exists . And the 4 horseman are about the apocalypse
" Old School is The Only School 🤘 "
I shall add one more important rule:
"0-0-0-0-0-0-0..." always on the sixth string.
ahah :) good list ! that was awesome !
Thank you
LIVE IT!!
My big 4 would be:
-Megadeth
-Morbid Saint instead of Slayer
-Overkill instead of Metallica
-Toxik instead of Anthrax
No idoit, who even likes overkill, morbid saint and toxik
fuck no
It's called the BIG four for a reason. I havent even heard of toxik.
@@HavocMusic1759 honestly i thought everybody knows toxik. ik ur comment is old already but if u haven't still heard their music U NEED TO!!!! they're great
@@neon_ooze maybe
Rule 36 is like you've taken every comment section on any video where the big four are playing.
Great! I nearly laughed my hi tops off!
as long as you didnt lose them! :)
Strangely enough a few of these rules could also apply to other Metal genres.
It all bleeds together, but we never admit that
Thrash ballads are the best ballads
I don't understand what you're saying? :)
There is no such thing as thrash ballads, it's one of the rules
Pretty bang on there...🤘
Cheers! 🤘🏻
As a rapper who came here to learn more as my teacher loves thrash metal it was great that rap was mentioned! :D
haha. listen to your teacher, he is right! ;)
@@RuthlessMetalYT haha will do, awesome video by the way! My understanding of thrash metal before this was I think it might be what Metallica does aha
36 is almost correct. Remove Anthrax and replace them with OVERKILL. PERIOD. Then add Testament and make it officially the BIG 5.
Number 02 is so true. Mabuhay Garden, Ruthie's Inn, The Omni and the Stone should be registered as national landmarks.
for sure.
I allways felt kindda alone on these so true rules. Now I’m relieved.
Cheers!
Bad fucking ass you are fast becoming the raddest youtuber ever keep it up brother!!!!
thanks boss. Cheers!
Brother you forgot the most sacred of them all " THRASH TILL DEATH "
Rule 101: Covered Diamond Head.
Had to chuckle at (#6 & #7)! 😁
Cheers!
This video, the death metal one and the black metal one were all great, but though you said it's a joke you couldn't have nailed any of the rules better 😂 funniest videos I've seen for a while, but can you do one for power metal please :)
thank you, I might. :)
RULES?
There should never be RULES about THRASH METAL!!!
;)
Rule 201. Crossover Songs are to damn Short!
that's a good rule!
Rule 202. Black metal sucks!
Very creative 🤘
thx 🤘
101. Always say that 90s megadeth line up is the best
Damn bro you got me with grunge, im guilty. But i never stopped listening to thrash through the 1990s.
;) a heathen!
@@RuthlessMetalYT im sorry and i deserve it.
@@erikmuniz6905 🤘🏻
Great rules, but you missed the most important one which's the 101: Learn how to play a musical instrument and start a thrash metal band.
Or leave it to the pros, most of us suck at it anyhow. ;) haha 🤘
@@RuthlessMetalYT Unless your band rules as Power Trip or Vektor.
Great rule. Wholeheartedly agree, doesn't matter if you initially suck ass, you're going to write some mediocre/shit music at the start but it's ok, you'll eventually develop and evolve. This is the only way to keep metal alive 🍻😎
I've never met a metal head who didn't try to start a band at some point
So accurate man! 😂 I'm crying
🤘🏻 don't cry hehe
So true. I am definitely a Thrasher's Soul even if I like other music/bands too :)
101. Rust in peace is inarguably the best Megadeth album
Probably even one of the best thrash metal album ever
