Talk about a public execution...

Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion on culpability, rationale, etc... but shit man, people are lynching the guys before anyone has gotten the straight story... blabbermouth is cool, but it is still the National Enquirer of metal.

Lets all chill, and give them a chance to announce it if they choose to do so. No one is trying to sensor anyone else (unless it is certain people who do nothing but shit stir). Maybe a better way to spend the time is to start writing to A&R departments at labels like Nuclear Blast USA, Sanctuary, Metal Blade, Island, whatever to lobby them to sign Anthrax.

I'm not gonna sit here and swing from the guys nuts saying everything they say or do is gospel, but the least we can do is to continue our support. I know for certain that they want to reward the fans for being loyal. So instead of kicking them when they are down, lets encourage them along.

Good night.
 
Johnny's right, people. We need to chill out until we get confirmation at the site from Charlie and/or Scott.
This news sucks ass, but we can't blame anyone, really, we don't know the whole story.
 
If they sold it thru the site, they'd have it made. They could also start their own label if it came down to the wire. That would ensure their records are released in a "timely" manner instead of being delayed for months on end because other labels can't get their shit straight and they'd also see more profits by eliminating the middle man. I think it'd be for the best for ALL concerned. The band would profit from higher record sales because their product is more readily available, the fans would benefit because their fav band would be more accessible for merch, DVD's, CD's, etc all via the net. Just sounds good to me all the way around.
