really lame how there are no announcements on the anthrax even at this stage.
i'm against the reunion personally.

vercingetorix said:I had the pleasure of seeing Joey Bell-end-donut front Anthrax many times in the 80's including the tour with Metallica in 86 and I have to say I always thought he was the weak link. I was glad to see the back of him. John Bush in Anthrax was kind of a double edge sword for me because yes he improved the band but he left the Saint behind and they were fucking great.
The whole debate kind of reminds me of seeing Sabbath in 81 when half the crowd was shouting Ozzy and the other hald Dio. However, both of them were great vocalists so the situation here is kind of different because Joey is crap. Kind of like when Joe Lynn Turner fronted Rainbow. He's probably the campist straight man in Metal.

sbeall said:I can't believe all the pansy little Debbies and Brittany's on this board who equate the quality and greatness of a band with whose crank they'd rather suck on, Joey's or John's. You guys checked recently to see if you have a vagina, you might be surprised. You pussies who miss the fact the Anthax hasn't written a worthy riff or song since P.O.T., don't even get it that all you are is a stupid little group of black t-shirt wearing, man-groupies supporting a dead band so you can be the last and biggest fan of a group that currently sells fewer CD's than Whitesnake or Dokken and if they do still sell any worth counting, it's the old Joey era one's anyway. It seems the more they suck, the bigger the fans you are. Are you hoping they might hang out with you because you were the only one to buy their latest, uninspired, musically dead offering? Do you think they read this board to see who their biggest supporter is and they might like you and talk to you.
I grew up listening to and covering Anthrax and SOD/MOD and was so disgusted with that pathetic Stomp that I pulled it after one play through and never listened to it again, and never bought another one of their releases either. It was obvious to me and anyone other than you deaf idiots, they lost whever it was that made them great. It used to be prior to Joey and Danny leaving, you knew it was an Anthrax song even when you heard it for the first time and didn't have to get someone tell you if it was Anthrax or your little brother's dumb garage band. I unintentionally got to see them at a metalfest a few years ago and fell asleep half-way through their boring set. It was as coma inducing as a Dream Theater show without the songs or the talent........pretty much just coma inducing.
Telling me or anyone else that the new Anthrax is the best they've been is like saying the new Metallica is the best ever, or Metal Church is so much better without David Wayne, or better yet, Maiden would be so much better with the fag-poser 3rd guitar player running around, Jason Newstead to replace Harris and a new death metal singer to shout out instead of sing the lyrics. I know, why don't they get the Bushmeister, he's way better than Bruce and the Vandenberg wannabe guitar player can hump his leg while he's butchering the vocals to Where Eagles Dare. Yeah, I hear he does a mean A.I.R. too.
Hopefully, the original Among the Living era Anthrax members will realize after the first European festivals and then Ozzfest, that they F'd up because of ego's and confusion and they'll get back together to write/play songs like they used to and stop with the nu-metal, meandering, buzz-cut, un-melodic, chopper bullshit they're playing now. When that happens, all the original Anthrax fans, that out number you guys by 100 to 1, will buy their stuff, see their shows and make them relevant again and you can start hating them because they're sell outs.
Oh, and for you metal-mental midgets, who haven't a thought in your head except Fuck You.......FUCK YOU, DIE!!!.....TWICE!!!!
