HEAVY METAL VS THRASH METAL

Hey guys! Here's an epic guitar battle between heavy metal and thrash metal guitar riffs!
These riffs are awesome and some bands are playing or used to play both heavy and thrash metal. Metallica and Megadeth for example. Are they playing thrash metal or heavy metal? But I believe "Fight Fire With Fire" is a thrash metal riff but "Sad But True" is a heavy metal riff. And Megadeth "Holy Wars" is thrash metal and "Killing Is My Business.." is heavy metal but you can think otherwise cos' as many men, so many opinions.
However, I really hope you'll enjoy this Heavy Metal VS Thrash Metal riffs video and tell me in comment who's better for you.
Let's ROCK!

So a bit faster tempo, more palm muting and chromatic scale - that's your thrash, slower tempo, more ringing power chords and diatonic - that's your heavy metal.

Testament into the pit sounds like lamb of gods laid to rest. Obviously testament was first

[@VERMILIONGOD]

Glad you noticed that 👏

[@ratonhnhaketon4365]

Testament should be one of the big five, they were just late, in my personal point of view they were much better than the big four technically, their music was too much advanced with complex riffs and hard solos (at that time), and in fact their material influenced so many boys bands, as much as the big four did.

Those terms were region-specific up until 10-15 years ago. In the 80s, in the midwest (so THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA) at least, Heavy Metal was Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, etc metal included Hair Metal. Rock was Van Halen, Zep, etc. But sure, let the coasts re-define reality. In 1984 no one in the fucking country going to a Van Halen concert called a metal show. NO ONE! Not once, not ever!
