I am neither for or against Dan Spitz, but that biography is awful. It's like so many washed up bands that will stretch the truth to make it look like they accomplished more than they did, or that their band was so unique.
While their contemporaries in more "mainstream" heavy metal were wearing the latest in spandex excess, Anthrax stormed the stage in shorts and T-shirts.
Bragging about your lack of image as if you pioneered it, is not only stupid, but also at least 15 years out of date.
In the center of this revolution was guitarist/founding member Dan Spitz, who took heavy, fast, crunchy music to the next level.
Yeah, Dan Spitz personally was at the centre of the thrash metal revolution.
The end result was: Fifteen million albums sold, four Grammy nominations
I don't think a band like Anthrax can be measured by how many albums they sold (not to mention that there are hundreds of bands who have sold more albums), or especially by how many Grammy nominations they have.
As the years rolled on and generic bands came and went
Again, as much as I love Anthrax, it's not like they were that unique.
You couldn't go to your average highschool without seeing a couple dozen youths decked out in Anthrax T-shirts.
Big whoop, you would probably see just as many or more t-shirts of Slayer, Metallica, Guns N Roses or any other band that was bigger than Anthrax at the time.
Even after all these conquests and challenges that everyone had told him can't be done
For God's sake...what did he do, climb Mount Everest? Find a cure for the common cold?
Dan stomped on, selling millions of albums worldwide gaining notoriety for music to such soundtracks as "Air Heads" with Adam Sandler, "Last Action Hero" starring Arnold Shwarzennegger and the "Beavis and Butthead" soundtrack. All gaining Platinum status.
Yes, DAN sold millions of albums. What a jerkoff. They would have sold the same amount whether Anthrax was on them or not.
Dan was even asked by the band Kiss to be one of the few artists to embark on a recording with both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.
Again, it was DAN who was asked by KISS. I guess the rest of the guys were just along for the ride and to provide Dan with a backing band.
This recording would feature famous bands re recording Kiss songs. The multi platinum album "Kiss my Ass" was the result with the Kiss song "She" being recorded.
