Killed_by_Death Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Venom were SO obviously Black Metal. All the early Thrash bands would cite MH as an influence & Metallica most of all. Lars was the President of the MH fanclub in the U.S.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed_by_Death Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 How can anyone even argue against the fact that all those Trash bands took Motörhead as an influence? Motörhead were the godfathers of Thrash, Thrash before there was a name for it, by the merging of Punk & Heavy Metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen (and met) them a few times back in the day, it’s hard to believe they’re not with us anymore. With all due respect to the other incarnations, Motorhead will always be the Three Amigos for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Punk to me, with no Heavy Metal. The answer is Queen on Stone Cold Crazy, Black Sabbath on Symptom of the Universe, & probably early Tygers of Pan Tang.

hubrad Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Motorhead were already well established by 1979, and "the" lineup came about with Fast Eddie joining in 76. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motörhead#Formation_and_early_years,_1975–1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) I would argue Overkill (the song) isn't thrash. Thrash was that fast, hardcore-derived beat, combined with metal riffs, rather than punk-type chord progressions - at least that's what it was back in the 80's, before the term got diluted by lazy journalists to describe the output of a cluster of bands rather than a style of music. It was never the type of double-bass drumming in Overkill. Bear in mind the geography - thrash was pioneered in California, the home of hardcore punk and those early thrash bands were most definitely exposed to it. You combine that fast beat with the riffs of the likes of Judas Priest, Maiden, Motorhead, Venom and NWOBHM and you get thrash. Singling any of them out for individual credit is quite wrong, in my opinion.

Killed_by_Death Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 J.P. have a few one-offs that could be Thrash, but Motörhead were doing entre albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they were, and did, that is why there is a clear similarity in sound between motorhead (the track) by hawkwind and their early stuff. When we were going to gigs in 1980+, if we wanted heavy we would go to priest or one of the start of the bands that would be nwobhm, if we wanted rock we would go to motorhead or one of the older school bands that were around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killed_by_Death Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It's a matter of opinion I suppose, but MH weren't included in NWOBHM because they were heavier than that. I asked Lemmy in 1991 if MH were Heavy Metal or Punk & he said the statement above, loudly, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I thought this was held to be the common root of all Thrash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
