Support NeoGAF

[Meowzers]

Best ever frontman for a thrash metal band.

Relatively new to this but I'd say Phil Anselmo mixed with Corey Taylor. I'm more into hip-hop nowadays, but damn these would sound good together.

 

[Thaedolus]

Phil was my first thought for thrash metal. Bruce Dickenson for classic metal.

 

[brap]

Pantera is thrash now? Lol.

 

[ManaByte]

Papa Het before he shaved off his cowardly lion look.

 

[Scotty W]

1986 James Hetfield
Devin Townsend
Chuck Schuldiner
Max Cavalera

Spoiler

 

[Meowzers]

Pantera is thrash now? Lol.

I'm new to this lol.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Any choice other than Tom Araya is overthinking it.

 

[brap]

Any choice other than Tom Araya is overthinking it.

No?

 

[MGHA]

Does Wendy O count?

 

[Lionel Richie]

No?

This sounds like Araya mixed with Fat Mike. It's not bad, but Araya is a GOD.

 

[Gamerguy84]

James Hetfield

 

[lock2k]

John Bush

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Matt Barlow.

The volume on your speakers should be LOUD.

 

[Cunth]

[haxan7]

The one true answer to the actual question posed by the OP is Fred Durst

 

[teezzy]

Rest

Never even heard of Over Kill before. Fucking good stuff

Sounds like Bruce Dickinson

 

[Rest]

The one true answer to the actual question posed by the OP is Fred Durst

He's also a pretty good guitar player.

 

[Dark Star]

Robb Flynn is a beast

 

[Rest]

Rest

Never even heard of Over Kill before. Fucking good stuff

Sounds like Bruce Dickinson

They're still around and still making kickass music.

 

[teezzy]

People clown on Durst but dude can rap, sing, and scream. He also banged out both Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in their prime

Dude is a legend

[teezzy]

Fight me.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Matt Barlow.

Pantera is thrash now? Lol.

I'd definitely call most of Cowboys and Vulgar Display thrash metal.

But then again I also count some of Nirvana's Bleach as thrash, so your miles may vary.

 

[Kerlesly]

Couldnt find a much better quality:

 

[Faenrir]

How is this even a question...
Dave Mustaine of course

And if you consider Vektor as thrash, Dave diSanto too.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

It's obviously Chuck Billy.

 

[Paasei]

How is this even a question...
Dave Mustaine of course
.

Came here for this.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Since when are Pantera and Slipknot thrash lol. You need to go get your metal facts straight.

 

[brap]

Since when are Pantera and Slipknot thrash lol. You need to go get your metal facts straight.

yeah slipknot is death metal.

 

[Xplainin]

 

[Gloggins]

Tom Araya.

Tom 'Angelripper' Such and David DiSanto too.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Mustaine

Go to war n give em hell

 

[and 3 others]

The one true answer to the actual question posed by the OP is Fred Durst

I'm quoting taking a photo of this for my meeting with EviLore.
*Edit, Gash is right, Mustaine

 

[Faenrir]

Well the guy made thrash what it is tbh.

 

[Punished Miku]

I like tons of metal, but when you sit and think about it ... almost all the singers kinda suck ass.

I'm usually into it for the instruments mostly.

 

[Airola]

You are all wrong.

Katon W. De Pena of Hirax challenges all and everyone!

 

[Airola]

And the all time best metal vocalist, thrash or anything, is GUY RITTER!
One of the most unique metal voices ever.

This is probably his best vocal performance, phenomenal super emotional stuff:

 

[eddie4]

Riley is pretty good

 

[Radical Dreamer]

I'm biased but Hetfield in his prime imo.

 

[jason10mm]

I don't really consider them trash but Michael Kiske with Helloween was always pretty epic with the vocals.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

How about the worst thrash singer?


It's unfortunate too because musically, they're hard to fault.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Fight me.

I’ll take Avril over Fred Durst, fosho.

 

[Faenrir]

I don't really consider them trash but Michael Kiske with Helloween was always pretty epic with the vocals.

Well, Helloween is trash, alright.

 

[teezzy]

Helloween has some bangers here and there. Credit where credit due. Def gotta be in the right mindset
