That's what the review said but

Scott said Got the Time is actually played faster by Joe Jackson.

I haven't heard Trust's Anti-Social, so I can't comment there.
 
They were BOTH covers? Who sand the originals? These are two of my favorite Thrax tunes.... Why would Danny get the music to a cover song tatooed on him??

Got the Time was originally done by Joe Jackson and Antisocial was originally by some French band called Trust. I've heard the original Antisocial and it's pretty horrible IMO.
 
Yeah French people piss me off.

Anyway, yeah, they are covers. Joe Jackson does not play Got the Time faster, at least not the version I heard. Anthrax does a shitload of covers.
 
I am downloading Trust right now and have Joe Jackson in queue.. I am very scared...
 
I was just listening to Antisocial by Trust and was thinking that it was pretty cool. Then the guy started singing in French and it all went to hell...... Anthrax did them a favor!!

Anthrax also has a fench version.
 
I have a live Joe Jackson version of Got the Time and it IS fast - maybe even slightly faster than the Thrax cover.

I'm still yet to hear the original Antisocial sadly.
 
I heard it, it's ok. I don't really find anything about the French fascinating, so I prefer the english version. Not only that but - I don't see how it is possible to just translate a song like that - the melody for the lyrics would get all fucked up wouldn't it? Those fuckers put vowels everywhere.

Haha, I have to listen to some French version Anthrax shit.
 
Just heard the Original "Got The Time".. Not bad, I still prefer teh Thrax versions although they kept them pretty true to the originals with added power chords.. I think what bums me out is the bass solo in "Got The Time"... I always thought it kicked ass.. I mean it still does but it wasn't really Frankie's....
