Better than TNT by far

 

[Joecephus]

agreed, much better then the TNT cover. I like Rob's guitar tone on this track, and really digging Joey's vocals as well.

Another great cover. But really, time for the band to stop posting these online. I'd like something to be a surprise when I get the EP...

Of the three posted online so far, Anthem is my favorite, followed by Jailbreak, followed by TNT.

No wonder the music industry went to shit and nobody buys CDS anymore.

Love it. Same order for me too. Yes nothing else needs to be posted I want to listen fresh when I buy it on release day!

Yawn..make it thrAshy or not at all

I'm kinda glad a few covers have been released,they owe us for taking so long between records

So far this track is my favorite followed by TNT and then the rush tune last. I have a tremdemdous amount of respect for rush and dig much of their material. I simply have not gone ape shit about them like some people. Not really too familiar with their catalogue.

I've seen YouTube clips of Injun Joe performing Tom Sawyer. I would have much preferred that tune to have been covered. Belladonna is pretty bad ass

Joey also does Limelight and Closer To The Heart with Chief Big Way. Personally, my favorite of the Rush songs Joey has done is Closer To The Heart, but admittedly that would've been a poor choice for Anthrax to play. I think Anthem was a good choice because it gave the band a chance to show off their technical prowess without going way out into left field and doing La Villa Strangiato or something crazy.

Don't think Tom Sawyer would've worked since the synth is such an integral part of the song. Then again, they did get someone to play organ on the the Boston cover, so maybe adding synth wouldn't have been a problem...

They also got someone to play cello on be all end all !!!

Nice one!! ANTHRAX sounded good covering songs with good grooves.

Well what was the last time they made ANY cover thrashy? Don't tell me Antisocial is thrash...

 

[johnnieCzech]

Great drum groove. Charlie is getting even better.

 

[Social Distortion]

Joey sounds better on the other two IMO.

I like him better in Anthem.

Between Anthem, TNT, and Anthem I agree that Anthem is Joey's shining moment.
