The Best Bands, Their Worst Moments

Yep, gotta' agree 100%. Although I'm not THE biggest fan of thrash, I must say that Megadeth is really the only GREAT band in the thrash scene right now. Endgame was just pure awesomeness. There are many meh-bands like the ones you mentioned, Lamb of God, Trivium, and even more bands claiming to be thrash when they really are as far away from thrash as they can.
Exodus is still alive and kicking, and many would argue they are putting out records today better than anything they have ever done aside from Bonded by Blood and Fabulous Disaster. Also, Nevermore, who have been putting out fantastic records for just about 20 years now. Seek and you shall find. metal is a VERY big world these days.
 
faith no more...they did a reunion tour and didn't record a new album......
Gwar..anything after Violence has arrived..and that only had a couple of good tunes on it.
Also this is off topic but the fact that The members of Faith No More got together with Whitfield Crane after patton left and couldn't make it happen
 
A Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd. In reality, it wasn't even pink floyd, just David Gilmour and a bunch of session musicians. Compared to their previous 3 albums its sounds like the sound my toilet makes when I flush it.
 
blech. there hasnt been a straight metal band to impress me in a REALLY long time. there are only a handful of thrash bands worth listening to anymore. and if theres not some sort of hardcore influence in it (ala killswitch engage) then i cant be bothered.
seriously, who are the current kings of straight up metal right now? the likes of Lamb of God? Trivium? etc? yuck. id rather listen to björks greatest hits than that nonsense.

Sir, I'm sorry to inform you your metal licence has been revoked.
 
For me, it's Slayer...Everything between Seasons in the Abyss and God Hates Us All can disappear.
