I am sure Joe "not wanting to move forward" is actually Joe "not wanting to be an underpaid sideman that gets no input or royalites on future recordings"...

I'm the one who compared them the site to Megadeth. I stand by it, Charlie and Scott could update more. Mustaine has posted stuff and then gone another direction.

If they had posted on the front page of their site "Joey and Dan to be on next record" and then two weeks later posted "nevermind" everyone on here would have thrown a hissy fit one way or the other. That's my point. Scott and Charlie continue to get shredded to pieces no matter what they say or do, and that sucks. Especially when it is coming from your own fans. I was not trying to single anyone out - just saying it really sucks to see it go down like this. I can only think of a few people on this board who have not taken a cheap shot at Scott or Charlie in the past 20 months.

Myself, I have been guilty of ripping on them. But as a fan, I hate to see the obfuscation, the half-truths, and lies. Just speak the truth and let the chips fall where they may.

I also wanted to reiterate I have nothing but respect for Scott & Charlies great musical talents. Frankie, Rob & John too....even Joey is pretty good.

Also, I met Scott before the Anthrax/Motorhead show in Milwaukee and he was very nice, signed all our stuff and talked with us (who were pretty drunk at the time) and was a decent fellow....no rock star attitude at all. Which is at odds with a lot of other people have posted.

Anyways, it will be interesting to see how it all washes out. Personally I am starting to think they should disband, and try a new name, because if Bush doesn't come back, it's not Anthrax.

Blatz for all you fuckers.:headbang:

Yep your right on the money. I am guilty of it as well. At first it was just sadness talking I think. Now I feel that the only thing the guys are guilty of is trying to keep the mother fucker floating.

It isnt out of line to think there may be something completely new from the guys. Charlie said something along the lines that they are gonna write.... music will come... it may be Anthrax and it may not. Time will tell. I am excited as hell no matter what comes as long as there is some new stuff in the works. And I agree..... without John it Aint Anthrax.

You people are insane. You bitch when Scott and Charlie choose not to say anything. Knowing that their silence was probably do to them not wanting to say anything prematurely. Knowing they had to negotiate shit out. And what is the point of making an announcment that will become null and void in a week? THEN - Scott and Charlie DO say something, they DO give you an annoucment and you all still bitch about it! What on Earth do you want from them? You complain no matter what they do! Just shut up, wait for new music, and stop calling yourself a fan if all you do is bitch about the band you are a "fan" of.

Good point. Most of us have been guilty of "bitching" about this band one way or the other.
Then again, whenever a band changes members, it's going to upset a certain amount of their fanbase. This band (Anthrax) has changed members again, and it would be expected that more of their fan base will be upset.
When a band continues to alienate a percentage of their fan base with several lineup changes, obviously their fan base continues to become smaller and smaller.
Look at what Tony Iommi did with Black Sabbath in the 80's and 90's. By the time they released "Forbidden", they couldn't pay most former Sabbath fans to show up at their shows and the CD ended up in the bargain bin QUICK!
If Scott and Charlie don't solidify a lineup soon, they are in danger of being in the same boat.
When most of us "bitch" about the direction of this band, it is done because we love Anthrax, not because we just like to whine. Sure their have been certain people who have had nothing positive to say about anything, but for the most part, WE ARE FANS!
But I do agree that we should be more willing to give them a chance and see what happens.

I don't think this board is going to be happy untill they see blood.

You mean like a no holds barred death match like WWF or something like that? Everybody in the Anthrax family jumping off the top rope and Flavor Flav and Vanilla Ice are the evil managers. :lol:
 
You laugh now.............

...... Anyway one positive thing I can say about all this bitching and moaning: The board is the most active I have seen it in a while.
 
I don't care about insulting anyone - they did what they felt they had to do, whether we agree with it or not. I just hope to see John Bush back fronting the band and am awaiting that announcement, even if it does feel like a longshot at this point.
 
Ehhhh, I coulld be a loyal fan and voice my opinion or I could just as easily not give a rats ass.

The point is for a band that is struggling they should be glad to have fans that care. Look at spacebeer and Jonnieczhek. Those two care a ton about Anthrax. And when Bush was canned Johnnie was more upset then anyone, and Joey wasa canned spacebeer was more upset then anyone.

In some cases bitching = careing.
 
When your mom bitches at you to stay out of trouble, that's caring. This all somehow strikes me as different.

It would take a time machine to make everyone on here happy.
 
Seriously, I don't post on any other band's message board. I've bought every cd they have made except for the greatest hits cd's. I've gone to just about every Chicago show be it John or Joey or John with Joey V. I've defended John and I've defended Joey. I feel I have the right to an opion even if god forbid it offends people. While I'm a fan of the music Anthrax has made, I don't feel the need to bite my tounge, sugar coat, or censor my thoughts in anyway when I'm talking about the band with other fans.

That's the problem bro, you'll never make EVERYONE happy. As I stated earlier, the more lineup changes a band has, the more fans will be unhappy about it. That's just how it is. Most of us will forgive a lineup change if we hear new material and like it. Some probably won't, but that's OK. People are entitled to their opinion.

I get what you're saying, but there does come a point where certain people (not you specifically) are just going a little too far with it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with people, as long as we do it in a way that is constructive.
 
I know you can't make everyone happy. I am saying that NO ONE is happy. And regardless of outcomes everyone keeps crying. People need to understand that part of being a band for 20 years is letting people down here and there along the way. Music is a part of life, it is not exempt from life's shittiness.
