Hmmm...
Asking if they've become a laughing stock isn't bashing, it's a legit question. If I would've said Anthrax IS a laughing stock, that would be bashing. Understand?? I know, it may be hard for you but ask your Mommy, she'll help ya with it.
There is no exaggeration with the amount of bands and/or musicians who have made negative comments. The RBC site if I remember correctly had a section on there where you could read what othe musicians thought of this reunion. It's not on there now so I will take that back under the fact that I cannot properly prove it.
TONS of bands play Download and Dynamo, that doesn't mean they're taken seriously. As far as being on Gigantour, how many dates did they actually play on that?? I don't recall seeing them on the lineup when they came through Chicago. Priest is also in the "reunion" mode, which is great, and Zombie kinda sucks so I won't touch that, but how much control do bands have in picking their opening act on a major tour??
It once again was just a question. I guess unless you're asking questions that paint Anthrax in a positive light you can't ask anything?? If you want all positive why aren't you on the CDC message board?? Then you won't have to worry about any of this. Good grief Charlie Brown.
The power of suggestion was pretty obvious by the tone of the question and knowing your history. If Billy Milano asked "is Charlie a little pussy?" it would be pretty obvious what he's meaning. Similar thing here.
TONS of bands don't HEADLINE Dynamo.
Yes, tons of bands do play Download, but it was Anthrax's first time there since 1987. Granted, it doesn't prove very much. Perhaps they could have played it with Bush; I don't know.
They only played a handful of show on Gigantour because they were busy on their own tour. You know Dave Mustaine has a large amount of control over who plays at his shows.
Priest also had a hand in picking Anthrax, as did Rob Zombie. I'm not a fan of Zombie either, but I am glad he chose them. It's nice to play in front of arena crowds.
Even if those bands didn't have a hand in picking them, someone did, and it must mean something to someone with a lot of money invested in it to pick Anthrax.
I'm not sure if your last paragraph was directed at me or not, because I never said ANYTHING suggesting you couldn't ask here what you did ask. All I was doing was disagreeing with you, which is apparently not okay by your so-called standards. (Pot calling the kettle back.) Perhaps if
you can't take some criticism, you should stick to the RBC board. I don't post that frequently on the CDC board because I don't feel like it. I like this board because I started it four years ago, and it dates back to Anthrax message boards that have been going in one form or another for 11 years. Ron "MOSH" Earl and AlexStomp were on the original Rage Area back then, and I posted a couple times. I'm not going to be chased away from here by some differing opinions.
