[@King_Conan]

"Hair metal" gets thrown at most popular 80s metal that isn't thrash, although it more accurately should be another term for the genre "glam metal." It's a much more commercial, melodic hard rock/metal that focused on image(thus the hair not only long but at a time sprayed big, plus makeup and all), lyrics focused on girls, parties, cars, living wild, generally more superficial subjects but for an energetic, fun, party vibe. Got big when MTV was big and took advantage of the video format.

Dave Lombardo was Slayer's drummer for a long while (he was one of the founding members of the band). One of his other projects was a band called Grip Inc. Check out "Endowment of Apathy" by them for more of Dave's insanely fast double bass drumming. For a classic hair metal song .... Hmmm. Maybe "Cherry Pie" by Warrant?

The funny thing is, as you go down the thrash rabbit hole, you do realize that they were kinda medium tempo compared to more obscure bands from that time and especially THE BANDS THAT CAME AFTERWARDS. Ain't saying Slayer isn't fast, but off the cherry pick popular tier - Sepultura and Kreator definetly were faster. And then you have the crazy newschool wave of 2010s thrash like Lost Society, Dust Bolt or Evile. ;)

[@leejames7308]

From what I recall, hair metal was the label for bands who appeared to care more about their look than the music they made. They usually had big hair, make up and elaborate stage outfits. Thrash is the opposite, more about the raw, aggressive music than a specific look although they kinda do have a specific look, that's not the focus!
