i think the timing here is important. Scott posted this after Phil's apology video. I think this points to the inadequacy of Phil Anselmo's words. Something more, something deeper needs to be done. I like that Scott is calling for Phil to dig deep into his pockets. It's a cliche - politicians...

saw Armored Saint open for Wasp and Metallica at L'amours the winter of '85 immediately ran out an bought March/Saint.

going slightly off topic here but I am curious how bands structure contracts and these things play out when band members leave or get kicked out. For example did Anthrax need to pay JB a salary when they decided to do the reunion tour? who owns the anthrax brand? was there a buy out when both...

the last Down ep is exceptional. AIC devil put disnos. Prong's new one. Godflesh's world lit only by fire. Killa Mike and El-P new collaboration Run the Jewels part 2 is sonically and lyrically fantastic. love it.

scott is living the dream

unabashedly love Scott's book. Better than i thought it was going to be and richer too particularly in the portrait he draws of his mother, family dynamics and growing up in Queens. A lot of Anthrax's past dramas are covered and I think he gives some new insights into his relationship with Joey...

south & seasons reflects the fact that jeff Hanneman pushed Slayer creatively; again and again, there was not a set blue print. not everything would be RIB speed and tone (RIB is SO singular. so power. such a shock when it came out. it is a kind of brilliance but i the other albums are overall...

i've met Scott a few times over the years at clubs in NYC and he was always friendly but distant friendly. the meet and greets seem like a great chance for people who might otherwise never meet their favorite band to get photos and vinyl signed. Scott's an excellent storyteller so I am hoping he...

from scott's twitter today: Jon Donais @MikeMcCombe: @Scott_Ian Have you chosen a new lead guitarist yet, or got anyone in mind?

I'm sad about this. I will always love anthrax and feel like they just never get a break. Still good to see everyone on good terms. questions - was Rob a full member of Anthrax? it felt to me that especially on WM Rob and Joey had a lot of input. I felt like the melodies and song construction...

is charlie playing this tour?

will Charlie be returning for the 3rd leg of the anthrax/testament/DA shows? he's playing the upcoming metal masters I assume that means he's on the mend.

Went to see Mayhem fest in Saratoga Springs, the last 2 times i saw anthrax were headlining w. Lacuna Coil and God Forbid (i think) in '03 & opening for Dio. First time seeing Belladonna since Persistence tour. Got there just as As I Lay Dying came on. They were ok. I was a little concerned...

awesome post khalpin! Funny too that as soon as I began reading your post i began mixing up the thrax secret show and the IM one. The later was on a Sunday night if I am not mistaken. There is an older thread here on the site that says, "On December 15 and 16, 1989 at L' Amours, two more shows...
