Throughout this week’s Gear Issue episode, we have now a compilation of thrash musicians taking part in their favourite riffs.
We have had plenty of musicians featured in our Gear Issue collection, so to make it simpler for followers, we began making compilation movies. Just a few weeks in the past, we shared our episode of Metalcore Musicians Taking part in Their Favourite Riffs by way of the years, however for this week’s installment, we gathered clips of thrash steel guitarists taking part in their favourite riffs.
Within the episode, you may see clips of a number of the “Large 4” thrash musicians taking part in, together with Anthrax’s Scott Ian, Slayer and Exodus’ Gary Holt and Megadeth’s David Ellefson, in addition to musicians in bands that are not a part of the “Large 4.”
