Dude. I was out bike riding one day last year and some kid at a stop sign yelled "Slayer" at me. I was on the brakes or I'd have thrown him horns...

Best of all, my bike is red and I was wearing some girlie-type bike jersey... nothing metal about me. I was all, "How did he know?"

Metallica by a mile

I gotta go with Slayer.
I love them both. But I'm rather tired of the hype around Metallica, like everyone is expected to like them and its the favorite band of all hobby rockers running around.
And frankly I think they have gotten abit tired over the years. I prefer the old metallica.
Slayer on the other hand, never gets old.

Slayer, easily. Once upon a time Metallica were a great band, but even their very best album (Master of Puppets IMO) can't touch Slayer at their peak (Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss). And let's face it, Dave Lombardo kicks Lars Ulrich's ass six ways from Sunday.

Metallica have been one of the most groundbreaking metal acts ever and always pushing the envelope with new ideas....some good some bad. Their early albums are essential to any metal collection with their dynamics and progressive metal elements. Despite all this, there is actually no competition and Slayer win hands down!!! For me they have always symbolized what metal is all about and they`ve made little compromise over the years but have still stayed modern. As Janszoon says, Lombardo can kick Ullrich`s ass anytime and James Hetfield just doesn`t have the aggression of Tom Araya.

I have to abstain from voting because I love both bands for different reasons, it's to easy to dismiss Metallica cause they're more mainstream and their drummer is "****". Bull**** if any of you say you didn't discover Slayer by way of Metallica.

This post sums it up for except one thing: South of Heaven should be included as a 'peak' album.

Personally, my list with Slayer is:

1. Hell Awaits
2. Reign In Blood
3. Seasons in the Abyss
4. South of Heaven
5. the rest is garbage. Of course I don't mind the song 'disciple'.

Top 3 are the only ones that are that noteworthy. However, Slayer beats out Metallica because Metallica's sound sounds wayyy too prethought. Slayer has a more natural visceral tone. Metallica is amazing for moments of melody, but Slayer are lightyears ahead when it comes to chaos.

And good thrash = chaos.
