Charlie Benante Interview

Again they seem to be body swerving the "are you going to record with the reunion lineup"? Come on guys is it really that difficult a decision to make???

That's just like when Dave Mustaine was about to reveal if there's a future for Megadeth, 'cause you kinda knew the answer, but then again there was no way to be sure.

They haven't made the decision yet. Are you suggesting they should answer YES or NO without knowing the actual answer. Come on, is it that difficult to understand???

Come on after 6 months they must have some idea, it's hardly the Saddam Hussain trial! :tickled:

Johnny, are you against the reunion and if so why? Inquiring minds would love to know. :)


Let me see if I can speak for Johnnie:

We're not against the reunion. We're against the dissmisal of Bush. It seems that at the ripe age of 27/28 respectively, we're too young to have massive boners about Belladonna being back.

When we're 40 with kids, they'll do a nostagia tour with Bush for us. Or maybe we'll be dead, I don't know.

Interesting take, guess I do not mind since I am a lot older than you. I remember Anthrax with Joey from the beginning. I do not mind either incarnation. Guess that is what happens when you are old! LOL
 
I honestly think the band DOES know, at least Charlie, Scott, and Frank. If they know that John will be back, would they announce that now? Hell no, Joey would leave the tour and Dan too, if he's not going to be kept either. Why would those two continue? They're enjoying their time together again and I hope they're truly enjoying it too. Hell, they've given us all so much happiness through the years with their music, I want them to be happy too, that matters to me a lot, I think we all owe them that. I just want NEW MUSIC. There's nothing like the feeling of buying that new Anthrax album and putting it in your stereo and knowing you're going to hear a whole album of new material, getting goose bumps on your arms countless times while listening, never moving from in front of the stereo, enjoying every minute of it. That's why I never download any of their new shit before it comes out, I LOVE that experience. That's why I love this band. This is the only band that has for me continually delivered on every new record, I've never been disappointed. Let them do what they want, it's THEIR BAND.
 
You know for me it really doesn't matter(if they make an album with Joey or John). If John comes back its cool with me they had some kick ass shit with him. If they make and album with Joey it would be even better. Some how I get the feeling if they make an album with Joey it wont be that great. Plus with all the say that John has been saying that his time with Anthrax is over I'm getting the feeling that they might stick with Joey. You know I love Bushthrax and Classic Anthrax so I'll just stick around and await the final answer.

I give a flying fuck about those who will send me to hell for posting the following link where the answer to your question is given: http://www.reunionbashers.com Or maybe Johnnie will write here something of his own.
