Charlies Blast beat

It just seems lame. I don't know how to explain it. Anthrax to me used to be more accessable? Down to earth? The anti-rockstar crap? The CDC just seems not them or at least not my perception of them.
 
I signed up for it months ago. I really only signed up for the shirt. So when I get it I'll be a happy little camper. Unless they start selling the CDC shirts like at online stores and stuff, then I'd be a pissed little camper.
 
Well, I think the "A band by the people for the people" slogan went right through the wondow when the CDC opened.

I ain't joining, first because I don't have a credit card and I don't really want to have a credit card, and secondly because I'm a cheap bastard. I like my freebies.

However, the CDC is prolly the best way to directly support the band because I am guessing it's got nothing to do with the record companies, and so I'll maybe consider it at some point. But not now 'cause I'm still feeling like a cheap bastard.

BTW, anyone noticed the "we will cometh for you all again" or something that Charlie wrote at the end of his post? Is that a hint of JB&RC coming back?

Does anyone even care if Rob Caggiano comes back. No offence to Rob, but he's hardly a legend is he? I'd be happy if Bush came back though.

Don't need a credit card. I signed up by mailing in a money order.
 
does anybody care if Rob comes back? fuck yea man! I think he's a great influence on the songwriting and he definetely has a wicked stage presence... I much prefer him over spitz, no offense to him, but I just prefer Rob

not to mention he is a great producer
 
Scott said a while back, that he was brainstorming material for the WCFYA follow up that "WILL be made."

Anyway, yeah what is it with the CDC? Is there any reason to join at all? If I joined would I get to meet the band at one of the up coming shows? I don't get it really, so I have not joined yet. As long as I have this forum to bitch on I am happy.

couldn't you meet the band anyway at shows? there have been reports by pissed CDC members who never got to meet the band.

I wouldn't like it to meet the band only because I paid them for talking to me. I'm not a stalker, so if some band members (no matter WHAT band) have some minutes at a bar before or after a gig: ok, nice!
If they don't have time or aren't in the mood: No problem!

I talked to some Anthrax members twice and it was a nice "bartalk" not a "pay-for-talk".

The only reasons for me to join the cdc would be:
- get special limited fanclub-CDs and gifts (wallpapers, shirts, posters, etc.)
- get tickets for small club-gigs for cdc-members only

As long as Joey sings, I wont join anyway (<---this shouldn't start another Joey/John discussion, PLEASE! Just my opinion)
 
I am not sure if I want to join. I was in the Metclub for a while, and it was good. The t shirts were one of a kind "member only" shirts, and I got access to alot of things before they were announced to the public, or even done for anyone else. It has its advantages. At the same time, I dont like the idea of "better treatment" of a fan because of it. Not saying Anthrax does that, not at all. But doesnt it seem unfair that someone who shelled out $25 and has only been a fan for like at best 4 years get special treatment over some of us who have been fans since 1987? As for the Blast Beat, I liked the plug and the "cometh" comment. I wish I could see that guitar design too. Anyway it goes, anything new from Anthrax is good. Hell, they could hire Gwen Steffani and I would still be a fan.....
 
I joined because I wanted the shirt and I thought there would be cool bootleg recordings to download in the "exclusives" section. So far nothing. I don't even think the band has posted on the CDC boards. As it stands right now the CDC is pretty pathetic.
