80's metal

[samoth2]

I'm looking widen my musical horizon, and I love 80's metal.
But unfortunately I don't know so many bands, and since most of you here are probably older than me I thought that you knew some bands :P

So please suggest some good music.

Thanks  :)

man, i used to go into the game, steal a chopper, tune in to V-Rock and just chill listening to music, cruising around town

[Crazy_Joe]

Haha yeah, the Hunter army chopper was quality for some V-Rock! Shooting rockets into cars and boats whilst rocking out to some Anthrax  :lol:

didn't know that song, but that ruled. Man, the 80's was awesome. EDIT: okay, maybe apart from the whole mutually assured destruction thing.

I don't think there's a single band in that 80s thrash list that isnt worth a listen. Especially Dark Angel and Municipal Waste, they both kill.
If you like the 80's thrash, also try Morbid Saint, Onslaught, Re-Animator and Hirax.

As for the rockier side of things, you cant beat W.A.S.P. if you ask me. Classic stuff.

Haha, i'm surprised that someone else actually knows who Dark Angel are! You're the first person i've heard of who knows of them.
