Metallica has been so overplayed, i'd rather listen to Megadeth but i acknowledge Metallica as the overall more significant band for their massive hits and genre bending.

Personally for old school thrash my go to is Testament's debut album.




Dat gang shout, dat guitars

Meshuggah's debut album also has a strong thrash element, awesome gang shouts and stuff
 
Also, Cliff Burton's Bass Solo: Pulling Teeth. Who else ever had a bass solo?
He did such an amazing job no one dared.
Cliff was such an amazing bassist, he was really into like hardcore punk like The Misfits and Black Sabbath, and I think he influenced a lot of their early sound. He had a real melodic way of playing that kinda transcended the typical confines of the instrument.

John Entwisle (I think that's his name) from The Who was a really good bassist as well with a lot of great live performances. Flea from RHCP is probably my favorite bassist. A more modern example of an amazing bassist for me is Thundercat, that guy is crazy good
 
there is a video on you tube of just the bass from the ride the lightning album, and you can hear what's going on a lot more than the mixed recordings... there is definitely a lot going on with that music.... if you're bored and like the technical side of music or want to be impressed by someone playing, i recommend taking a listen... the bass gets played pretty low in a lot of metal music. i personally never really knew there was so much going on listening to the mixed recordings.
