The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued

I don’t think you can deny the double bass drumming of Dave Lombardo and the sound it created in Heavy Metal. In my opinion any of the nine Slayer albums that he played on were his best work!

Absolutely!  Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer landed at the same time. Anthrax, Exodus and Testament were not far behind. Then, there are the European thrash acts from the 80's.  Good Times.

Happy Listening! 

@jafant - by 'landed', do you mean when the band started or when their first albums came out? 'Bonded By Blood' didn't come out til '85, but had been going since '79. Dave Mustaine didn't form Megadeth until after he left Metallica. I was fortunate enough to see Metallica in the very early 80's at a club in San Francisco when Mustaine was still in the band, and Cliff hadn't even joined on bass yet.
