ANTHRAX: Fucking Hostile - 2005

These days, Anselmo himself is no Anselmo.

I disagree with that. Phil is all cleaned up and is almost just like the Phil of old. I saw him with down last year and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. He was in shape and energetic.

Here is footage of him just a few months ago. It is great to see him looking good again. He is by far one of the best front men in history of metal music. Many imitators but nobody can touch him.

And ps.

The above Anthrax cover is okay. Vocally John sounds like shit trying to sing this song. I don't like his voice when he tries to sing fast.
 
one of Pantera's best songs and Anthrax did it justice.

I actually found Pantera's next 2 albums to be my favorite. I really wasn't a huge fan of Vulgar Display of Power. But I loved Far Beyond Drive, The Great Southern Trendkill. I think those 2 albums are 2 of the best metal albums ever made.

Vulgar Display of Power gets all of the hype. It is a good album but I find the later albums better. I really get sick of hearing "Walk" by every band that tries to do a Pantera cover. Fucking Hostile is not one of my favorites. I'd take Suicide Note part 2 any day over Fucking Hostile
 
I like some of Bush's catalog with Anthrax but to say that cover of Fucking Hostile does "justice" to the original is just,,,well,,,delusional, LOL

,,,,and speaking of DOWN,,,

Perhaps you boys want to go to Down message board and worship Anselmo... that Fucking Hostile was tribute to Dimebag and in my books pretty damn good one! Also vocally!

T:)

ps. ...and when it comes to cover version of "Walk"...well, good song is a good song...original doesn't get any worse if it is copied million times - again in my opinion!

Im my opinion you are one of the biggest douche bags I have ever met on a forum. Vocally that was not good. John Bush can't ever pull off a Phil Anselmo song. Especially when he has to sing fast like that.

You started this topic and now you want people who are discussing Pantera/Down/Phil Anselmo to go to another forum?

Let me guess you would rather have John Bush sing for Pantera than Phil Anselmo if there was that opportunity?

Hey Maidenboy - like I have said before...that song/video was a tribute to Dimebag. It has NOTHING to do with Phil Anselmo, Pantera, Down...or you disliking John Bush... when he has to sing fast or whatever.

Dimebag Darrell! Remember him! That guy is VERY big part of history of METAL and history of ANTHRAX!

No - I don't want John Bush to sing for Pantera - I want him to sing for ANTHRAX!

OK...Now Maidenboy go back to listening your MAIDEN records and checking whether the ink has fallen off your MAIDEN ticket...you mullet headed brat!

So that Pantera song has nothing to do with Pantera? Okay.

You're a bit of a penis aren't you?
 
I think it's pretty good. Bush does a good job, even though he's clearly got a more melodic voice than this song needs.

It's not phil, but it is john not bad, there are very few pantera covers that i can stomache and this be one of the better ones.
Can you imagine how horrible it be with Joey singing it.
