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.
