As much as I respect your opinion, there wouldn't be 80s thrash metal without Metallica, Megadeth & Anthrax. Plus, Motörhead was the reason why Venom started in the first place, so it would be fair to consider THEM (not Venom) to be the pioneers of thrash. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

HE,The documentary is about 80's thrash. And in that times, in my opinion, also Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth were very cool bands. That they are now greedy as you put it has nothing to do with the 80's.
I know that Venom, Motorhead etc. are "more responsible" for thrash but then again people who are mainstream (there are millions of them) do not know these bands and therefore will find the documentary not interesting enough to watch. I also would like to see a documentary about CF Raven etc. more...........but we will have to do with it. -------------------- trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr

Okay, okay. Maybe I exaggerated when I put Megadeth and Anthrax on that list. But, Metallica? You just need listen to the early demos of such acts as Exodus and Overkill, that were posted here BTW, or the early Slayer songs, such as Ice Titan or Assassin, all of them dated to circa late '82. Pure heavy metal, with huge Priest influences (especially Slayer). Cut to their latter '83 songs, coincidentially after the No Life 'Till Leather demo and Kill 'Em All, and see the influence Metallica had on an entire scene. Let's just be realistic, you can't deny their importance just because you don't like them as a band. It would be wonderful to see the bands you mentioned, Imran, but even them would not diminish Metallica's leading role on the scene.-------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

Not to mention D.R.I. , Fear, Dead Kennedys, early Black Flag... To me, the basic elements of thrash music are rooted in hardcore, heavy metal, and jazz. Hardcore brings the speed, heavy metal the heaviness, and jazz the time changes and melding of different players at certain times. --------------------
