Thrash is just another sub genre of metal. Glam is straight up metal while thrash was speed metal. Faster isn't always better that's why Metallica biggest album Black sound was closer to Motley Crue.
Compare Motley Crue, Poison and Winger to Pitbull, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, etc. Enough said. Don't complain about commercial metal. The commercial **** of today is a billion times worse. At least people required some ability to sing, play guitar, drums, etc. when it came to glam metal. In modern commercial music, hip hop/EDM crap, all you need is a ****ty meaningless bunch of words (as long as they are catchy) and a simple hip house beat produced by some random person who usually goes uncredited. You would give your left nut to hear Motley Crue on commercial radio again and you know it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykBuPBISvUM
