BREAKING NEWS: Rob Caggiano quits Anthrax

ANTHRAX released the following statement via its official Facebook page: "We love you all, and are confident you shred like Yngwie Malmsteen after a case of Red Bull, but to answer all 57,000 messages at once, WE ARE NOT DOING AUDITIONS for lead guitarist. \m/"

Interesting that they are not doing additions. Sounds like they have someone already in mind, like someone who already knows most of the material.

Why? I still think he was better than Broderick in Megadeth and he did pretty good job with King too.

One of my least favorite lead guitar tones ever and a well known neck pickup abuser.

Am I the first one to break the news?!

... just kidding!

Hoping for somebody in the Andreas Kisser-style, if he's not up for the job himself! Guess he's still committed to Sep, but who knows ...

Did they ever record the bonus EPs? If so, we might never get it. Wouldn't it be Anthrax style to re-record with the new guy?

The covers EP is actually going to be part of the Worship Music cash grab errrr.....I mean reissue.

They should get Buckethead.

IMO that would be cool. He and Anthrax do have a history through working together on the Ghosts of Mars soundtrack.

 

[IamMrFabiaro]

GHOST OF MARS...yipes!!

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

They better sort out a new guitarist soon. This just got booked.

It'll be a touring guitarist most likely.

Hate to repeat myself but this was surely one of the shittiest movies I have ever seen in my life. I suffered through it only because of the Anthrax score.

 

[TomFromPoland91]

Yeah, I couldn't believe John Carpenter would make such a crappy movie

I was sort of joking.

 

[Thrashard925]

THANK FUCKING GOD ROB IS GONE!!!!!!!! Now for the love of God and all things sacred in life, Dan Spitz must come back. The 5 of them is the ONLY REAL ANTHRAX :hotjump:

 

[swany76]

Scott Ian made it clear on this past Mondays replay of Eddie Trunk Rocks on knac.com that Dan's name wasn't even brought up in the conversation and that they have no plans to travel down that road again.

 

[anomynous]

Looks like they're still friends.

 

[Buddy_Love_Bomb]

Yep thats from last night....

the backdrops look more like the recent anthems ep then WCFYA to me.
