[johnnybebald]

Anybody in here into Hardcore Punk or Thrash metal?!?! Anybody?.... 

[Papa Don]

No!

[tomgallagher]

You never know but I don't think so.

C'mon Gallagher, admit you love it  

For myself, I love it and being from the bay area ( where thrash metal originated ) I absolutely love Testament, Exodus and Heathen...Megadeth as well as the first three Metallica albums.

BTW If I where you put your photo as the avatar, the hitman is IMO played out.

I can pinpoint the moment: years ago a buddy in college was trying (and failing) to show me (he played bass and sang) how "speed metal thrash punk" differed from some other similarly named music genre. From then on I sort of refused to understand music genre speak. (No offense, I hope!)

Third-wave 2 tone ska revival with a Jamaican rudeboy/rocksteady influence!
New wave art school punk hip-hop experimentation!
Russian synth pop trance bossa nova!

This is my current favorite YouTube video. It makes me smile every time I play it.

I'm glad you like it, however that's not the Metallica I knew and loved.....everytime I see them on stage on or when the radio plays new stuff I'm beyond stuporous.

Sort of depends on what you consider hardcore--but yes I like real hardcore--especially late 80s NY and SxE stuff (AF, Cro-Mags, Youtf of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, tc...), and lots of different metal stuff asl well...

OF course I also like a lot of alternative stuff as well and some rap....I have a broad range

[Morthen]

I like
Power Metal
Folk Metal
Death Metal
and various others

My favorite bands are Dragonland, Opeth, Bloodbath, Kamelot, Domine, Sonata Arctica, Wintersun, Insomnium and others i'm not thinking of

I love smooth jazz and I love Metallica, but they never should be used in the same sentence.
WTF was that??? 

By the way, I do like Death Magnetic. I think it's a GREAT album.

I love Kamelot...I think Don Youngblood is a great guitarist and Casey Grillo is simply one of the best drummers around and I really enjoyed the last album, never really got into Bloodbath and unfortunately Morthen I'm not at all a fan of the other bands you listed.

[Morthen]

to each his own. I like all of them
