Kirk was wrong (see other thread on that).

[mrthrax]

would be nice if it got to australia

 

[aliasp]

Tell me about it.... though logistics and just how expensive it is to tour here right now probably not viable for all 4 bands (well maybe Metallica).

 

[manu_8]

a couple of shows? amazing, but I don't see the big 4 tour yet, so Kirk is not wrong at all

 

[antwax]

what makes a tour - 3 or more shows?

Only Poland and Czech sofar.... god DAMN.
They'd better get their asses over to Western Europe

Too bad Anthrax won't have an album to promote, huge missed opportunity.

They might! It's 6 months away. They could easily have an album out by this summer if they wanted to. The music (guitars, bass, drums) is already recorded and mixed. Just gotta go into the multi-tracks and mute the original Dan Nelson vocal tracks and record new ones with John. It won't take long to record vocals if they actually do it sometime in the next month or two. John could knock vocals out in two or three weeks at the most. Most of the artwork was done, I believe, they'd just have to remove any Dan Nelson pictures, change the text, credits and lyrics. They already have the record label (hell, they already had a release date set back in October).

Yeah my thoughts exactly. They'd be stupid not to make sure they have new product out by that time, and it would have to be more than achievable given where it's all at - surely!!?? Hopefully there's no major legal wranglings though with Dan N that might delay things.

i hate to say it but we know in anthrax land things never run smoothly,ill have a rough guess and say album wont be out till 2011,if it was only 6 motnhs away it wouldnt leave them much time to do everything promo wise etc...

Most bands do 3 months of promo. But even so, the album doesn't have to be OUT when they do the tour - they just need to say "this song is from our new album, which is coming out July 20th!" (yes, I just made up the date) lol

 

[sufferer]

I sure hope you guys are right, I've gone from wanting that album to NEEDING it, but hell we don't even know if John's gonna do it yet. Ugh, 6 months is very close.

 

[timmyc]

I'm positive I saw online somwhere that Scott had been working on lyrics with John(???). A Twitter update or something.

When you consider that the music is recorded and mixed it won't be as long a process as making a record from scratch. It's entirely possible that an album could be out in the spring.
