[max]

but have any members from other bands sited anthrax as an influence???
would be interesting to know...

Sum 41, Slipknot both claimed that Trax were a big influence in Rocksound

Everyone that's ever combined rap and metal, besides Aerosmith, should cite Anthrax as an influence (although I'm not sure if that's one that they're proud of )

 

[kaiyan]

yeah, they do seem to be getting a bit annoyed with the influence on that area.

 

[Johnny Ace]

we don't count though, since we're light years from making it. But my writing style owes a lot to Anthrax... dropped C#, light/shade, etc. Although lately, I've been writing a mix of Thin Lizzy, Skynrd, and old Metallica.

Anthrax also influenced Pantera... Dime says so himself in his new book.

stephen from deftones. i read an interview where he said the first song he mastered was among the living. deftones recorded milk for the non-existant S.O.D. tribute as well.

the bassist from good charlotte wore the among the living/killer a's tour shirt when they played cleveland (some girl in one of my classes showed me a pic because she knew i liked anthrax). they still suck though.

The bass player from One Minute Silence played about 5 seconds of "Among the Living" when opening for Anthrax in Loraine, OH in 1998. Mr. Bag said it pissed Scott off.

Eric Singer: “See, here’s an example of KISS influencing a band, then that band re-influencing KISS. They’re almost influencing the influence in a way, in a kind of loop. When Anthrax did ‘Parasite’ it made us sit back and say, ‘Hey, that really fits in with what we’re doing today.’ So we made it a part of the set for our club tour.” Gene: “When I heard these guys do ‘Parasite’ I had totally forgotten about the song. Then I heard them play the riff and I tried playing it again. I was like, ‘That was a cool riff.’”

Quoted in HP Newquist, “Anthrax meets Kiss,” Guitar August 1993, p. 83 – 90, 92 – 94, 96, 98, 131.

Anthrax influenced the LONE RANGERS. Wait a minute, there's four of them. How can they be lone?

deftones and slipknot are the most common to praise the thrax,u would prob find half the death metal bands from late 80's to early nineties were influenced by the anthrax,they dont seem to mention thrax that much it seems to be a dirty word these days lol

the deftones guitarist stephen said anthrax was his fave band in school and still couldnt understand why they didnt hit the bigtime,pretty much the same for me at school everyones fave metal band was metallica and i was always holding the thrax flag high!!!

people often say anthrax were way ahead of there time and i am hoping in the years to comes the newer metal heads and musicians are lucky enough to get exposed to the thrax.
