Type "The Big Four" into google my friend and see what comes up.
First of all I'm neither your 'pal' nor your 'friend', secondly, when you search for the 'big four' on google, that's not what comes up. But anyhow, the next best thing that comes up actually is a Wikipedia entry. So please let me tell you that not everything what's been written there is true.
Your argumentation is pretty weak and you're right, arguing with you seems like a lost cause. Maybe ANTHRAX is the bigger band overall (because they've changed their style), but they've long lost the true way of Thrash Metal. Their music is some shitty Metal Core/Crust/Hard Core blend that stinks like a pile of shit. Which is a real shame though, because for me
Among The Living is one of the best Thrash albums ever.
I just think that TESTAMENT was the bigger band when both bands were on the peak of their respective Thrash career. And that's why TESTAMENT is part of the so called 'Big Four' which is a rather retarded classificaton anyways. So I rest my case and won't bring it up ever again.
