When you hear the term speed metal, do you think of thrash

Also, post videos of what you consider speed metal

Can't go below 500bpm, or the drummer will explode.

It doesn't matter, nor is it a big deal, it's metal and thats all that matters, but this video sparked this thread Idea and its basically what I have always thought about these two genres

I always just assumed speed was stuff like Motorhead, Anvill, Annihilator, etc. basically proto-thrash... the lines do tend to blur quite a bit though.

I think of the vibe I got when would go to my fellating lover's place and he had the brand new 'Speed KIlls Vol.I' on vinyl and we'd listen to it at neighbour-killing volume with many beers.

It was a fantastic time to be into metal.
