After the huge success of the reunion tour with Joey, I couldn't believe they would ever think about getting rid of him again.
Yeah the massive shows in sold-out arenas, lear jets winging them around the world, massive TV coverage, the cover of "Tiger Beat" magazine! Success indeed.
Dude, they were playing the same places with Bush (clubs & small venues, and some festivals). Not to mention they were opening for Dio & others! I don't recall the Anthrology or Alive disc burning up the charts either. Think about it.
Join the rest of us in the place known as "reality".
"reality" is that Anthrax sold out almost every show with Joey. I was in LA when they sold out the Avalon which is a fairly large venue. Was insane. Was the biggest pit I have ever seen in 30 years of going to extreme metal shows. There was a very strong vibe in there.
All the kids that weren't around when Joey was in the band just can't understand the difference. Thats fine. You had your time. Anthrax will always be known for the Joey albums. That was their prime. That was ANTHRASH. That was the stadium tours.
Now they have a chance to get back to where they left off after POT.
Well, the new songs surely have that old school sound. The weak guitar tone of the recent albums is gone.
Perhaps you should listen to POT instead of smoking it. Large venue? I thought Maiden fans are used to far bigger ones, but i guess you don't like them anymore since Paul Di'Anno left the band.
