ANTHRAX greater of 2 evils

[tedvanfrehley]

Didn't this one come out today? Haven't heard anybody say anything about it yet. I dunno...I was excited about it until I heard Twisted Sister's re-recording of STAY HUNGRY and now I'm scared Anthrax will turn what classics they do have into crap................Whattay'all think?!?!?!
Love,
Uncle Ted

It's a really crappy effort, in my opinion. Disappointing too, seeing as the songs sounded great when performed live on the recent tour.

 

[Wicked Child]

Yeh, it's not very good. Best stick with the originals.

 

[Ayeka]

Bush sucks, so there's no way I'm checking this out...

 

[sixxswine]

Bush doesn't suck! But I have no interest in hearing him do Anthrax anymore.
I want an Armored Saint record!!!!!

 

[Wyvern]

Ditto here Bush in AS rules!

 

[Greeno]

I have no interest at all in hearing this. Hope this trend of re-recording old song will end soon. A song here and there is cool but complete albums of redone old tracks is getting old.

Bush sucks, so there's no way I'm checking this out...

hmmmm I'll tell you who sucks... BLAZE!

 

[Abryl]

I want an Armored Saint record!!!!!

That'd be cool! But I still love Anthrax

 

[sixxswine]

Hope this trend of re-recording old song will end soon.

It's getting to be as awful as the tribute record surge that was goin' on a few years back...

Abryl, way to add Blaze to the thread!
Anthrax is a thing of the past. Even Metallica is more "metal"
than them these days...

It's that ugly signature

I can understand that people who listened to Anthrax in the 80s don't like what they're doing today. I thought their latest album was awesome and I even like em more with Bush on vocals, but maybe because I got into them with the Sound Of White Noise album, then I checked out the old stuff, which I found really good. But I dunno, Bush's voice is just too cool to me

Anthrax has hit the wall ... and how could they think they could get away witrh doing classics without the Master Guitarist Dan Spitz thos songs are nothing with out his solos ... the songs I have heard are bad they have slaughtered some of my Favorite oldies ... and for the record Blaze doesnt suck

So you're into boring, uncharismatic, monotone singers who sound like they're half-asleep? No wonder you don't like Blaze :Smug:

I can't bring myself to check out Armoured Saint because of this guy...please tell me he sounded ok back then?

 

[Greeno]

I've downloaded a couple of the songs and they are not bad, but I still don't get the point. I would much reather hear some new stuff from them.

Well I'm not gonna try to convince you that John Bush is awesome and Blaze is nowhere near that. To each his/her own, a matter of tastes

Yeah, he was great with Saint! Solid power metal act.
Not the diluted, power pop stuff that he's doing with Anthrax...
Check out March of the Saint, Delirious Nomad & Raising Fear.

Spitz wasn't all that. I guess he's making clocks for a living these days.
How the mighty have fallen. I'd be curious to know, just how much money was waved in front of their faces to do this record. I mean it was Sanctuary Records, so I highly doubt it was much. Are they that hard up for cash?!
I say they should disband now & save some face!

Armored Saint Bush shits all over Anthrax Bush

And vice versa, though I can never resist some good baiting I'll set upon those Saint songs soonish...

 

[tedvanfrehley]

I think John Bush is great. I loved 'em with Belladonna, though (among the living is the only real THRAX album to me...but again, I like Lyle Lovett) and didn't care so much for neil turbin.

I think Scott and Charlie are the problem...they are nice enough guys, what with their love of comic books and all that..but I think they are bitter that they never became Metallica.

Scott and Charlie's shining moments are when they put BILLY MILANO behind the mic!
