Slayer were Glam! Don't believe me? Then check out the pictures of them on their first album 'Show No Mercy'.

Wow! Look at that. Who would've thought... I always thought Slayer did have a little glam. The pics just proved it. Pretty cool.

Well, how about that? The Thrash monsters themselves were also a little bit of Glamsters! I know that they were largely influenced by Venom and Motorhead starting out, but I did detect some Glam influences on the first 2 albums, however subtle they may have been.

Yup, no question about it. It's so obvious slayer is glam sometimes and these pics just prove it. Slayer is bad ass though, glam or not.

I never really took too much notice but you know looking at some of the pictures before this video starts, you can kind of get an idea about em.

See? Back in the 80's almost every Hard Rock or Metal band had their glam period, and that video proves my point perfectly. Everyone from Judas Priest to Slayer had their Glam moments.

To me Show No Mercy sounds like a mix between speed metal and NWOBHM. They were probably like Twisted Sister, meaning tat they had the glam image, but not the glam sound.

If Slayer would be embarrassed from the Show No Mercy promo pic, imagin how Tom Warrior of Celtic Frost must feel about Cold Lake But yeah... since I started listening to more thrash, I think Slayer is pretty badass...

There are way better thrash bands than Slayer. Give the first two Vio-Lence albums a listen, and you'll see what I mean.

haha... that post had no connection to the topic whatsoever, but, yeah... I should give Vio-Lence a listen. I think we should continue this conversation in the Thrash Metal thread

Oh trust me, he's so embarassed by Cold Lake, that he refuses to let anyone reissue it! Kinda ashame too, since Cold Lake isn't as bad as it's reputation may make you think. Picked it up at some CD store used for like $3 about 4 years back. While it's a bad album for Celtic Frost, it is decent when viewed individually.

I know poor Tom Warrior. Good lord what was he thinking!? It wasn't even good glam and I listened to Cold Lake. Celtic Frost kicks ass and that wasn't Celtic Frost. By the way saw Slayer's first album in vinyl in the used CD shop, didn't buy it, kind of regretting it now.

Or Andi Derris before he joined Helloween?

As for Celtic Frost and Cold Lake, the biggest problem was that it was just so different from their other work, and the fact that Celtic Frost had always prided themselves on innovation, and staying ahead of the pack. On Cold Lake, they made what was probably their safest album, at least where it came to challenging the norm. The backlash was two-fold, for selling out both their style, and by just not being very innovative on the album either.

Thrash was a grimmer, heavier, make up free version of metal if you ask me. The band members wanted sex, booze and had crazy hair - They just never sang about it!

A lot of fans in the 80s loved both thrash and glam - Pop music was the enemy...
