[emtfhII]

Metal legends ANTHRAX have announced a short spring tour, kicking off with a warmup club show at Chicago’s Double Door on May 28th, 2008. The Chicago warm-up show will be the band’s first live performance with their new singer Dan Nelson. In addition to the band’s classic hits from their 25 year career, ANTHRAX will for the first time ever perform brand new material from their current writing sessions. After the warm-up show, ANTHRAX will then fly to Los Angeles and join Iron Maiden on their “Somewhere Back In Time” world tour. ANTHRAX is direct supporting Iron Maiden at the May 30th and 31st shows at Irvine, CA’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

ANTHRAX’s Charlie Benante says “Playing with Iron Maiden again is such a thrill or us! We can't wait to be a part of these two magical nights.” Guitarist Scott Ian adds, “It is an absolute honor to be asked to open the Irvine shows for the Kings of Metal Iron Maiden. Anthrax’s tours with Iron Maiden are my all time favorites. Up The Irons!!!”

Lastly, bassist Frank Bello exclaims, “I saw them 2 weeks ago and sang every word. They’re better then ever!! I can't wait to play with them again!! Good times!!”

ANTHRAX is currently writing for their new album. This will be their first studio album since 2003’s “We’ve Come For You All,” and also their first album with Dan Nelson on vocals.

What kid of place is the Double Door? Is it real small?

 

[Joecephus]

I just started a new job, so I'd be unable to drive to Chi Town during the week... but a show in Cleveland the Saturday before that would be great.

Come on Anthrax whacha say, do it for me

 

[MyHatred]

What kid of place is the Double Door? Is it real small?

500 or so people. It will sell out, so get your tickets early.

I know, how cool is that!


No pressure, dude, no pressure!


"So, you wanna sing for us, Dan? Think you're up for the job...?"

"I think so, yeah, bring it on!"

"Cool. OK then, first off HOW ABOUT PLAYING IN FRONT OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF IRON MAIDEN FANS AND HANGING BACKSTAGE WITH THE BAND?!"

"Hmmm....oh, I dunno, I was kinda hoping for some shitty club tours out of the back of a van without two cents to rub together. Maybe scrape into the Billboard Top 3000 with our fifth single off the album and maybe lay Anthrax to rest quietly after the tour grinds to a halt from poor ticket sal....WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY SUPPORTING MAIDEN?!?!?!?!?!?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

Thanks Vomit. No dates even remotely close to me though

 

[MyHatred]

Thanks Vomit. No dates even remotely close to me though

What? You can't make it to Croatia or something? Some fan you are

 

[vomit]

Thanks Vomit. No dates even remotely close to me though

Well I am thinking that you will be forced to road trip up NORTH. Just for fun I did the numbers from Louisville to Chicago. It's a mere 298 miles. I am driving further than that. Join the team, c'mon on in for the big win.

And for the love of all things holy, keep watching the skies.

 

[IAN442]

I got June 18th at Merriwether Post...in MD.

But i'll be moving into the new house that week if everything goes along smooth enough.

I'll be migrating from the People's Republic of Maryland to Pennsyltucky.

We have bumper stickers here now becuase of the 1% sales tax hike:

"Welcome to Maryland. What's in Your Wallet ?"

People better YouTube this shit.
