I just copied the questions from someone
I was bored (sucks being married on a Friday night)
1. How did you find the ultimatemetal.com message board and the Anthrax Section?
I was searching for information about Andy Sneaps techniques and came across this site. Being that Anthrax were "the" band for me while growing up I had to check it out
2. What are your earliest memories posting here?
I thought it was awesome that people like Scott Ian and Billy Milano would chat with the fans. And it was nice to be able to talk with other metal heads
3. What made you a fan of metal music in the first place?
The aggression and attitude of the songs. When I was younger bands like Poison and Whitesnake were huge and the idea of guys in womens make up and playing songs about their cocks did nothing for me and the first time i heard Anthrax (Indians on Headbangers Ball) I was just blown away
4. Ever played in a band and dreamt to make it?
Of course, I would imagine most headbangers have. From the moment i picked up a guitar when I was like 12 I wanted to play on the stages of places like Donnington and Hammersmith Odeon
5. What would you change about Anthrax if you were Scott or Charlie?
I would change the sound that they have gone for after Joeys leaving/fired. They were known for their Marshall/Mesa heavy/chunky sound and they lost that along the way.
6. When was Anthrax at it's best in your opinion?
During POT, they evolved their sound into something that rivaled Metallica in terms of power and being intricate. Also Joeys vocals were darker and more powerful
It's worst?.
The whole post SOWN era, not saying its bad music but they were trying to copy Pantera in my opinion--Scott even going as far as using Dime's equipment and his beard
7. Tell us something about your home life (work, school, hobbies, etc...)
I'm 35, work as a systems administrator for a temp service. Am married to a truly wonderful (and tolerant) wife and have a awesome headbanging 8 year old. I play guitar, am a amateur audio engineer, and love the Boston Red Sox
8. Joey Belladonna is the new Anthrax singer, what are your thoughts about that?
Love that he's back. Hope he can inject some life into Anthrax
9. If you had a chance to play in Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth or Metallica, which one would you choose?
Metallica because I would become wealthy, but for the pure enjoyment of the music I would choose Anthrax
10. What is your greatest personal memory of Anthrax?
Seeing them on the original Clash of the titans show. great show at the pinnacle of their careers. Also being at Joeys first solo show in Liverpool NY and because of a tour bus problem getting a chance to hang with him and become friends (I had his drum riser in my apartment for like 3 months)

Thanks for taking the time to answer! Any final words you would like to leave fellow Anthrax fans?
They may not get the recognition that the others like the other memebers of the Big 4 get but they were unique and in someways were better than the others
