I think that slayer is by far the coolest when it comes to riffs, but their vocals ruin the song and that's why Metallica blew up so much more than the rest
The big brother who gets you into metal - Metallica The lunatic running round like a headless chicken - Anthrax The technical genius - Megadeth The burning Hells Angel on speed - Slayer
Megadeth and Metallica sound more technical. Anthrax has sort of a punk feel. Slayer is fast but in a narrow way. All 4 bands are great. I personally pick Megadeth.
Metallica-Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets Anthrax- Among the Living and Spreading the Disease Megadeth-Peace Sells and Rust in Peace Slayer- Reign in Blood and South of Heaven The albums i listed changed all our lives in one way or another. Rock on
Metallica: Heavy and catchy Megadeth: Technical and fast Slayer: Dark and fast Anthrax: simple and catchy I prefer 80's Metallica overall as they are very versatile and have the best singing and hooks, Megadeth for their lead work, and Slayer for their brutality.
Metallica: The Playable Character Anthrax: Your annoying but still likeable npc companion Megadeth: The really skilled guy who dies in the first cutscene, and is the reason you're there Slayer: The final boss
OMG. The top four bands of my high school years. You nailed Scott's "Not" post phase down to the shorts, and Dave's egomania. Of course Angel of Death is unbeatable. Great stuff. Aloha.

Love this, it really shows the musicianship all these bands had/have. It shows also that Slayer really operates in the fringes of thrash, almost death metal
Music is only about an opinion and my opinion happens to be the same as yours I also believe nobody can do a remake like him I mean he made Eddie Money sound badass now course all this is in my opinion because I never thought Eddie Money was badass I understand millions and millions of people do Rock on
@@mountkarate-nunchucka Yes bro underrated. People love hyping up Dave mustaine for his sick shredding skills. But hardly anyone in the music world recognises the sheer genius of James Hetfield's song writing skills
And how is that good? I'm not saying you're wrong. But thats not good if your going for things like: a long career, a life were your not relying on you're girlfriend/wife/SO to live in a house. Yeah I know Slayer did have all that. But many, many haven't.
@@typicalfurry2747 What? How is the bands longevity more important than staying true to their style? Maybe some musicians, now hear me out, just play the music they feel is good? How are brutal and heavy negative in any sense, wehen describing metal? Some are too heavy for a long career? Where do you draw the line in that logic? If everyone thought this way, the only music ever made would be commercially viable top 40. There are lots of bands much heavier than slayer, and yeah smaller markets, not sure how it's a bad thing in any way.
Iconic- Metallica Just straight having a good time- Anthrax Technicality that makes you wanna be a better guitarist (or makes you switch to bass)- Megadeth Sacrificing every living thing to Satan- Slayer
@@jsmash716 Behold the greatness of the Big 4 and despair. If you work hard maybe your generation can make music worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Slayer.
@@kkoch666 Pantera is fucking awesome, i think you dont know what real music is, i´m pretty sure you are the kind of person that thinks nickelback is heavy...
I always used to think Mustaine's riffs were the complete package with speed + aggression + precision + melody + heaviness + technically adventurous. *Listens to **2:42* I still think so.
Metallica: The most headbanging and speedy riffs Anthrax: The most catchy Megadeth: The most complex riffs Slayer: Speedy and the heaviest riffs among The Big Four
Anthrax have the most headbang stuff. They are also the most thrash, punk and with a mosh attitude. Megadeth can be complex but also beautiful, like in Youthanasia, Writings and Risk.
@@Wilder_TheWolf megadeth is the most technical and have the hardest songs to play. Slayer has the most evil and heavy sound. Metallica are the most popular and anthrax is just shit lol
@@williamchalkly7979 I think you're talking about the Tornado Of Souls intro riff which Dave wrote and this guy played in the video....the ultra famous solo in that song was Marty's masterpiece.
@@sainandanramakrishnan4812 yeah, I know what you mean but I was talking about the solo alone separate to the intro of tornado of souls in this vid. Either way they are both still killer riffs!!
Many people have done this, but I want to make my own. Here is what makes each band unique: Metallica: Iconic, popular, dynamic, and has the best riffs. Anthrax: Energetic, simple, catchy, and has the best vibe.

He does but its deliberate. He's trying to resemble the lead guitarists of all four bands by dress or appearence. Kirk Hammett, Scott Ian, Marty Friedman and Jeff Hanneman.
Metallica has really gone downhill over the last 2 decades though. Megadeth has still managed to have some really good guitar riffs and songs on their more recent albums. All time i gotta go Megadeth #1 and metallica 2nd in terms of just guitar riffs. slayer is 3rd and anthrax a distant 4th. i like them. just not as much as the other 3.
@@ButtahDawgMcDouble Actually, I'm his wig, as you can see. Ever since I escaped Lars's head, I've been able to be completely open about how much I love Dave Mustaine.
You should have worn sunglasses for Slayer. Cosplaying Kerry King is the easiest for you: - you have the beard - you are bald - add sunglasses and perfect
@@stonevisionmedia he said if he had a thrash metal band, despite his love for megadeth he would have one in the style or similar to anthrax. Dude if you had any thought process or brain cells you would know that...
Especially “Ride my Rocket” that’s shit really stood out when these riffs were breaking through...Jk, I love Pantera, I just like to throw that shit out there sometimes😂😂😂 But seriously, people like to dump on panteras pre “Cowboys” shit...but “Power Metal” had some wicked shit on it...if you haven’t heard it, check it out...especially “Over and out” just fuckin shreds! But there is some cringe worthy shit too
I believe this quote and his mindset is like 99 percent of the reason he cant keep a stable line up but hate me lol cause im just a nobody on the internet
@@longinuscyclone213 I mean he's picky but his music compared to all of these other bands is by far more technical. Also I don't think it's his pickyness that got his band mates killed. Dave has always been a guitarist before a singer.
Been listening to A LOT of Anthrax for the past 2 weeks and I can honestly say that they are extremely underrated and overlooked. They have the best bass, best drums next to Lombardo and honestly, I enjoy Anthrax's riffs the most. They just carry that sexy groove and flavor that none of the other 3 bands do. Scott Ian is a master od his craft, one of the best rhythm guitarists of all time.
Probably cause they are the least thrash of the 4. Kind of the least ‘serious’ if you get what I mean. Like their music is more ‘fun’. That said I love all 4, my first concert was anthrax and it was awesome
@@djberryhardkore definitely the least serious and like you said most fun and light hearted. I would personally say megadeth is the least "thrash" as their music is focused on complex and interesting riffs with a dash of thrash on the side. Anthrax definitely has super fast and simple thrash songs that I would personally say are more "thrash". I'm prolly biased tho, they're my favorite of the 4
And the winner is...???

Megadeth: You will be amaze.
Metallica: You will be entertained.
Anthrax: You will have fun.
Slayer: YOU WILL DIE!

Megadeth is really agressive but slayer is the most brutal and scatchy of all of this

Le Tigidou idk man the right hand action on a lot of Metallica songs tends to exhaust a lot of guitar players
Le Tigidou just a little misunderstanding between the both of us. No worries man
The big 4
Slayer : Slytherin
Metallica:Gryffindor
Megadeth:Ravenclaw
Anthrax:Hufflepuff
and i have a guess why you put anthrax at hufflepuff
Same with Metallica in Gryffindor.
@ZeroViper3245 Hufflepuff is known for having members that are patient, fair, hard-working, and sometimes blandly nice, just like the sound of anthrax
A new Horcrux emerge. The shades of Kerry King.
In that sense Megadeth should be Gryffindor
The best part about this was watching the other 3 Scott Ians reacting to whichever one was playing at the time.
for sure
😂
So they are all same person?
@@nickhastings3957 no
If Scott Ian and Kerry King had a baby
Ah that Angle of Death scream I always thought of it as my phone ringing sound a thing of beauty.
🤘😜🤘
I love you Metallica I love you megadeth I love you heavy metal forever!!!!!
🤘😉🤘
Rock on...
Its thrash
Is trash metal
Thrash bro thrash
"Heavy metal" these are all the creators of thrash
Whenever slayer riffs comes up :
“I smell death and pure evil”
\m/ ;) \m/
Does anyone think he looks alot like Scott Ian from Anthrax ?
Death/Heavy Metalhead looks like Scott Ian and Kerry King has a kid.
He does but its deliberate. He's trying to resemble the lead guitarists of all four bands by dress or appearence. Kirk Hammett, Scott Ian, Marty Friedman and Jeff Hanneman.
@@jeremyhansen643 but Scott ian is a rhythm player
@@rockoutmj666 Fair enough but no one identifies Dan Spitz as the face of Anthrax. Besides, its Ian who comes up with their best riffs.
Any dude that’s bald with a goatee looks like Scott or Kerry
Slayer are the riffmasters! Can't beat their evil heavy sound.
🤘🤘😉🤘🤘
Metallica fans : megadeth sucks 😬
Megadeth fans : metallica sucks 😬
Anthrax fans : i love anthrax it's my favourite band 😇
Slayer fans : F***ING SLAYEEEEER 😲

Metallica fans :He fockin left the band!1!1!!!!11!!Hyea!?
especially when you go to a concert🤘🏼
I like all four... is that allowed?
@@abeschwartz1019 the rivalry between the fans is fun tho , take part
Can’t help but love Metallica the most, their riffs are just so amazing.
Metallica has really gone downhill over the last 2 decades though. Megadeth has still managed to have some really good guitar riffs and songs on their more recent albums.
All time i gotta go Megadeth #1 and metallica 2nd in terms of just guitar riffs. slayer is 3rd and anthrax a distant 4th. i like them. just not as much as the other 3.
Strong agree. Their riffs and solos are just so melodious and pleasant. Others are ok but nowhere close to Metallica
Disagree totally
SLAYER is like music for hyperactive people. and that's why I love blasting SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hiperactive and I love slayer, agreed
You should check tech death and prog deathcore then 😉
Slayer is music for people who like good music. Slayer is fucking awesome!
@@dainland432 true
thet dont really sound that good like slayer
Cara você é o cara na hora de escolher. Só top. Trabalho excelente. Quatro bandas fantásticas.

Even though I'm normally a Metallica fan.
Holy shit Lars... I knew you were a Megadeth fan all along
@@ButtahDawgMcDouble Actually, I'm his wig, as you can see.
Ever since I escaped Lars's head, I've been able to be completely open about how much I love Dave Mustaine.
That makes sense
@@larsswig912 Need to write a book about your story
@@TheUltimateNavigator1 thanks for bringing me back here with that notification, I made myself laugh.
Also, please do it.
Heaviest: Metallica
Darkest: Slayer
Most Technical: Megadeth
Trashiest: Anthrax
Slayer is heaviest and Thrashiest
Megadeth is most technical
But Metallica is the best band all round,
Metallica heaviest? Haha
Ok here we got Albert metalstein for real
Well put
Jamie Boer he is talking about ‘trash’ and not ‘thrash’.
Metallica - "YEAAAH!!!"
Megadeth - funny voice
Slayer - very fast riff 0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Anthrax - hip-hop elements
🤘😉🤘
Splendid work on your Guitar.
Beautiful uploading 👌🏻
Thanks a lot!

Would be nice: Sepultura vs Pantera vs Testament vs Machine Head
Hélio Alves testament wins all of them
Sepultura rules
Why so you could listen to Pantera play with the rest of them like a cat with a mouse?
sepultura would just play korn and pantera ripoffs lol
@@mateomadrigalgomez8198 yep right
Metallica: Trending streamer
Megadeth: Speedrun streamer
Anthrax: Pre-DMCA streamer
Slayer: Doom streamer
Wherever I May Roam gets me hyped, such a kickass song!
Truly enjoying the metal, I see.
A man of culture.

You should have worn sunglasses for Slayer. Cosplaying Kerry King is the easiest for you:
- you have the beard
- you are bald
- add sunglasses and perfect
No cosplaying Scott Ian would be, all he had to do was take off his beanie.
Add fat and arrogance
I just love Hangar 18 and its solos...
My favorite band is megadeth. But i belive if i had an Thrash band it would be anthrax style
Lame as fuck and considering Megadeth is Thrash you clearly have no idea what your saying.
@@tuiuthenthawai594 *Thrash
@@stonevisionmedia he said if he had a thrash metal band, despite his love for megadeth he would have one in the style or similar to anthrax. Dude if you had any thought process or brain cells you would know that...
@@tuiuthenthawai594 But Megadeth is great for the most part
@@tuiuthenthawai594 Oof
Thank you for this. I played this to my two months old baby boy and he went to sleep soon after. It calmed him down. Good boy :)

Yrs. He is antychryst...
Me:.......pantera
TH-cam: but they’re not on the lis
Me:PANTERA
They’re great, but they’re groove metal not thrash
@MUHAMMAD ISMAIL BIN HAIRODZ @ HANIFF Moe *what did you saaay*
Especially “Ride my Rocket” that’s shit really stood out when these riffs were breaking through...Jk, I love Pantera, I just like to throw that shit out there sometimes😂😂😂
But seriously, people like to dump on panteras pre “Cowboys” shit...but “Power Metal” had some wicked shit on it...if you haven’t heard it, check it out...especially “Over and out” just fuckin shreds! But there is some cringe worthy shit too
@MUHAMMAD ISMAIL BIN HAIRODZ @ HANIFF Moe that's a very....**vulgar display of power** there.
@@kaidenbraught4573 they are groove, electronic and metal
Metallica - Thash and pretty heavy.
Anthrax - Having fun and good tempo.
Megadeth - Very technically advanced.
Slayer - Hardcore thrash.
Hardcore thrash? Fucking wash your mouth out with soap right now son!
I love that only one is playing and the rest are just vibing
🤘😉🤘
Anthrax is the band that everyone has heard of but never actually listened to
They're definitely the worst of the Big Four and most unpopular, but that doesn't mean NOBODY has heard them.
I’m just listening to this for the first time and thought “i couldn’t name 1 Anthrax song” 😂
@@jfaulk5717 lmao same
@@moncalimarimoncalimari8964 he said " that everyone has heard of but never listens to"

Mustaine was once asked what separates him from other Metallica guitarists?
He said, "I'm a guitarist, the others play guitar."
Are you sure he said "Can't say what's on my mind"?
I believe this quote and his mindset is like 99 percent of the reason he cant keep a stable line up but hate me lol cause im just a nobody on the internet
@@longinuscyclone213 I mean he's picky but his music compared to all of these other bands is by far more technical. Also I don't think it's his pickyness that got his band mates killed. Dave has always been a guitarist before a singer.
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard
Is that why his ego is the size of the Milky Way galaxy? At least Metallica isn’t touring with Five Finger Death Punch this year. Mustaine is.
Спасибо, всегда качественный выбор для сравнения. Круто смонтировано и исполнено👍
Спасибо, мой друг!
Привет из Португалии!
Been listening to A LOT of Anthrax for the past 2 weeks and I can honestly say that they are extremely underrated and overlooked.
They have the best bass, best drums next to Lombardo and honestly, I enjoy Anthrax's riffs the most. They just carry that sexy groove and flavor that none of the other 3 bands do. Scott Ian is a master od his craft, one of the best rhythm guitarists of all time.

Nobody:
Slayer playing angle of death:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I feel ANTHRAX doesn't get enough love!
Probably cause they are the least thrash of the 4. Kind of the least ‘serious’ if you get what I mean. Like their music is more ‘fun’. That said I love all 4, my first concert was anthrax and it was awesome
That's because it's a deadly poison.
@@djberryhardkore definitely the least serious and like you said most fun and light hearted. I would personally say megadeth is the least "thrash" as their music is focused on complex and interesting riffs with a dash of thrash on the side. Anthrax definitely has super fast and simple thrash songs that I would personally say are more "thrash". I'm prolly biased tho, they're my favorite of the 4
@@metalben005 they're probably my least favourite but i love all big 4 bands. they are definitely good enough to mix it with the other 3
@@djberryhardkore the least thrash? I dont think you’ve heard any anthrax song. They are definitely more thrash than metallica.
Very nice presentation and change up. My fav bands. Hands up too you brother 👏🏼
Thanks a lot brother!
Rock on...🤘😉🤘
Why is Ian Scott playing for Metallica Megadeth and Slayer???😂😂
Ian Scott lmao
When it first started, I thought the same thing.
he looks like Scott Ian after he ate a lot of BigMac
It is the band of the 4 cloned dwarves 😃
He looks like a jacked Scott ian
The middle riff from Wake up Dead is Megadeth's best and possibly the best in all thrash metal.
1 of my all time favorites
Yeah man!!!
I see wake up dead as megadeth's creeping death if that makes sense, like if creeping death just kinda ended after the DIE, DIE, DIE part
