"Got The Time" and "Antisocial" are great covers but I wouldn't shed a tear if they were never played live again. It have the feeling there's a ton of other songs that fans would rather hear.

...speaking of covers... Joey's version of New Noise does NOT work....it is lame.

Agreed. They should drop ALL covers when they are playing festivals and try to limit themselves to one (if they HAVE to play covers) when headlining their own shows. I think Anthrax are great at playing covers; their 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' and all their Kiss-covers are stellar examples, but when I go to an Anthrax show, I'd really like to hear Anthrax-songs! Not Trust, not Joe Jackson, not Public Enemy, not Iron Maiden and not even Kiss! (Not-not not-not-NOT!)
The problem is, lots of people associate the band with those songs. They're the big hits.
I saw an interview with Lars Ulrich recently where they asked him what his favourite Thrax songs were and he listed those two! FFS, was he taking the piss? Does he not realise they're covers? I don't know if it was a dig at Thrax's songwriting skills or what.

The first crop of Anthrax fans associated Turbin with Anthrax, but they got rid of him.
A lot of people associated Belladonna with Anthrax but they fired him in 1992.
Lots of people associate Bush with Anthrax, but that didn't stop them from parting ways.
I think they could survive removing those two songs.
