Speed Metal VS Thrash Metal

[@Kriegter]

Speed metal: Usually in the key of A or higher, more melodical in general Thrash metal: Usually in the key of E, more focus on the groove

[@j-dizzle2946]

I’d say speed metal is more melodic, more uplifting And thrash metal is, ironically, more based on speed.

[@linchunggaom716]

Speed metal = fast + Melodic Thrash metal = very fast + Aggresive Speed band - Agent Steel, Exciter, Accept, Motorhead, Venom Thrash band - Metallica, Exodus, Sepultura, Overkill, Testament, Slayer.

[@jaberjalloul2315]

Speed ​​metal is not a sub-genre of metal, but rather it is the third section of metal in contrast to hard metal, represented by bands such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and accept Heavy metal is represented by doom bands such as Black Sabbath, Candlemas, and ahab. Speed ​​metal includes thrash, power, death, and black metal

[@jagannathaniyengar4369]

I can hear a lot of Testament + Megadeth in the thrash riffs, and Racer X in the speed riffs. Killed it my man!!

[@TheMetalAllfather]

I hear TONS of Testament in the thrash riffs. Speed Metal sounds a lot like Judas Priest.

[@DetectiveConack]

Yeah, 2:03 could sound like Mustaine's spider chords once you add in the fifth notes.

[@dftns]

Racer X is just Heavy Metal! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mr.echo24]

Speed metal is just faster Heavy Metal, while thrash is either one with hardcore punk and progressive influences. I love how you hinted at the heavy metal base of speed metal by shifting the tempos

[@datrollface2863]

Spot on

[@alexzoris7216]

Which of the bands that are considered as pioneers of thrash metal, had progressive influences?

[@mr.echo24]

@@alexzoris7216 I just meant the riffs sound a lo more technical

[@mr.echo24]

@@alexzoris7216 but Megadeth perhaps?

[@alexzoris7216]

@@mr.echo24 yes indeed they sound technical because he chose to present it like that. But thrash in the beginning of the genre, had nothing to do with high advanced playing. On the contrary, some bands were primitive as fuck. Example given, Sodom, Bathory, Hellhammer. I repeat that i am talking about the beginning of the genre and not about how it evolved...

[@anqareliouth2921]

I think you should do uplifting/dark riffs next. Like NWOBHM/Power Metal for the uplifting ones, and Black/Death for the dark ones.

[@WillDaBuddha]

Damn feels like I’m in my teenage years again, thank you sir

[@noir_2066]

Yeah the riffs are nice and all but the main reason I wach your videos is THAT KELLY is gorgeous idk why but the shape seems the most apropiate for most metal riffs

[@kentucky1519]

I don't like Kelly's but his and Brandon elis's are awesome

[@henny1356]

[@jamestabor4658]

[@jamestabor4658]

Oops. He's turned down a half step or something. My bad

[@matthewearl9824]

only thing you missed on thrash metal is the punk style drumbeat from 4:4 time to halftime which usually triggers mosh pits. These are heard all throughout bands like Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Overkill, Sepultura and European bands like Kreator

The speed rifts are more catchy and the thrash rifts are more heavy both sound really good

[@taurusguy9305]

I love your content dude. Perfection!Do you have Slayer style thrash metal riff videos? The riffs that are not so melodic if you know what I mean. Disharmonic thrash riffs.

[@dermilfschreck]

Man, i love your riffs. Can you put these speed metal riffs into a song pls? Especially the 5th one

I'm undecided... You have shown us some great examples! I see a lot of your own style in those riffs and solos, influences from Chuck and other death bands.

Like with everyone in the new generation, as the thrash elements become more complex and pick up velocity, they suddenly shift subgenres into 1990s melodic death. Excellent video!

[@BryceSchwager]

Both such influencal genres in metal. For thrash there are strong genres such as death metal and black metal that were influenced by thrash. But for speed metal there are other great genres that take inspiration from speed metal, like power metal, and a decent amount of Gothic metal. It can be so cool when these genres merge, and you definitely hear how they came from the same place yet they're so different!

[@cassandra_damned_by_the_gods]

Thrash... it's so glorious 🥺❤

[@nathanhughes9033]

Very clean playback

[@fionescumartin]

I have never been really able to tell the difference between speed and trash, and it doesn't really change after this video unfortunately...But I don't really give a shit, it was a good 6 minutes of solid riffs to wake me up, thanks !

[@HeavyRaiden]

Basically speed metal is like a faster version of classic heavy metal, thrash it's his own thing.

[@fionescumartin]

@@HeavyRaiden Thanks ! To be fair, it doesn't help me much either but I appreciate the effort to try and educate my sorry ass ! It is just hard for me to distinguish from "hey! that's Anthrax / Kreator / CoB / [insert a band] style" to "that's Black / Death / Death mélo / [insert one of the gazillions metal subgenre] " style. I can easily recognize a band by the way they play, but I couldn't categorize it in any style of metal if my life depended on it. It doesn't bother me much though, as it doesn't spoil any of the pleasure I get from listening (and I still can feel the easter eggs in Leonard's riff).

[@springbloom5940]

Try some 80s/90s Texas metal if you really want to get confused. Like Helstar, Agony Column and Galactic Cowboys.

[@megametal8641]

Well that's not surprising as the "speed metal" riffs here could barely qualify as speed metal. Speed metal - think Exciter first and foremost always. Abbattoir first album and many more. As far as the riff guitar goes, in speed metal the right hand is picking mainly continuously fast and the left hand is just cruising around at a moderate pace playing something fairly melodic. In thrash the right hand is picking fast with starts, stops, jumps and the left hand is well thrashing around playing all kinds of notes that are rhythmic but not particularly melodic. It's easy to tell which is which when you are actually playing it on a guitar or watching someone play it on a guitar. All you need to play speed metal ( riffs not leads) is a fast right hand, but with thrash metal riffs you need both hands to be fast and your brain needs to be geared to rapid starts stops and jumps. Lots of songs are a mix of the two. Power metal is like both but fancier sounding and it sounds real impressive for a song or two, but it gets boring after a short while because it's all the same thing over and over.

Sorry man. I don't have tabs. I only record the riffs I make. Maybe I'll make them in the future, but it's not on my plans at the moment.

[@seelowe88]

@@LeonardoLux96 ah, I see. It's sad but I'd appreciate if you made tabs for your riffs and publish them in the future because I want to learn riffs with faster rythms too and yours are banging as hell (i guess probably the huge influence of Chuck and many trash, power metal bands too)! Keep up the good work and I wish you good luck for your guitarist career!

What type of jackson are you using?, and also alot of the speed metal riffs sound like death riffs which is sick. In my opinion speed and thrash arw roughly the same to some degree.
