Yeah.....Solid
Regardless of what other band members from what ever band or regular folks say, every individual should stick to there opinion. I like pantera but i dont give a shit about what Phil Anselmo thinks about my what im doing or how i think. Trackin?

Yah, Im not the biggest fan but, i can appreciate what they have accomplished. I hear alot of bands that are excellent but dont make it when bands like Limp Bizkit do. Rollin, Rollin, Rollin something etc. Go's without saying! Bizlimpkit equals garbage. I know thats off tarket but it fealt good saying it!
"but how much control do bands have in picking their opening act on a major tour??"
100% control. Rob hand picked us and paid us what we wanted. Halford and Tipton picked us for Priest. Mustaine wanted us on the whole Gigantour and we said no.
I don't know where Tom gets his info from or why he would choose to be negative without facts. I also don't know why they continually talk shit and then are nice to my face. Why do Tom and Kerry feel the need to even mention us? I have my opinions about the new Slayer record and I don't feel the need to call Revolver and do an interview about it good or bad. Who gives a fuck? We did better business over the 136 reunion shows tix and merch wise than we have since SOWN and in Europe even better. The crowd is younger as well. The LA show last week is my case in point. 2 sold out shows in LA in 8 months and all kids who I bet most of didn't know that it was a reunion tour. Oh, and we couldn't get an offer for Download until the reunion. Whatever. Am I wasting my time posting here? Maybe. I just want to get the facts straight. BigPhat rules.

I was hoping you might pop in here sooner or later to clear the air. It's always appreciated! In my opinion this reunion is as much about "reintroducing" the band to a new audience as much as giving the oldest fans what they wanted one more time. Rome wasn't built in a day as they say. Outside of the cheap shots by the guys in Slayer that started this lame thread, I personally have read and heard nothing but great things. I'm curious why they would feel the need to slag on other bands from era, when they should be supporting them. Lame.
I hate threads like this, because it's an example of how the Internet can be totally lame. It's like gossip queens running around making shit-up just to create some "drama" at other peoples expense. Now everybody's going "whoa, what's going on?" instead of "KICK ASS ANTHRAX IS BACK ON TOUR!"
Keep fighting the good fight brother.

Thanks Scott
You are wasting your time posting here, especially about Slayer. It'll probably just end up on blabbermouth anyway. Headline: "Anthrax/Slayer fued".
I just can't understand why Slayer continually bash Anthrax, especially KK. It goes as far back as V8, I remember him telling Paul it sucked.
All the young kids coming up today just like Slayer because it's cool to like this really "brutal" band. You can be as brutal as you want. If you don't have songs, you don't have anything.
Maybe Kerry should listen to WCFYA again and learn about songs.

You are wasting your time posting here, the people who keep talking shit will keep talking shit whether they know the facts or not. They call themselves fans but keep chipping with crap comments but what is the point of that, they ain't gonna change your mind about what happens within Anthrax.
And as for Slayer, they were good 10-15 years ago but Anthrax still sound fresh and exciting, well to me they do.

You would? I dont know. Its all just bitter sweet to me. Just like it was when Joey went and John came in. Got over that too after hearing a killer record. Same can happen here if you give it a chance.

Do cover bands exist that contain founding members of the band they are covering? :Smug:
