Should Exodus be in the “Big Four?”

That’s a question that likely comes up in every interview any of the band’s members commit to.

Argentinian radio station Rock & Pop 95.9 FM recently spoke with Exodus vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza and was asked for his opinion.

“Personally, I don’t pay attention to that necessarily,” he said.

“I was in the Bay Area in the beginning, before I was even a member of Exodus, so I remember who was the forefathers of thrash. I mean, Tom [Hunting, Exodus’ drummer] invented that drum beat. That [guitar] picking style was from Gary [Holt] — that’s where the genesis of that came from.

“I think what [the media] did [when they came up with the ‘Big Four’] was they took the four bands who were probably the most successful in the initial period of thrash metal — from, say, ‘85 or ‘84 to ‘90. If you were to go off popularity, if you were gonna go off record sales, you would have to say Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer.

“Now, when you ask me that question, this is what I say: it’s ‘The Big One And The Other Three.’ Sorry. Neither one of those bands — and I love every single one of them… But Metallicasits on their own. So, to say the ‘Big Four?’ I don’t know if you can say that. You have to say ‘The Big One And The Other Three.’”
