this poor horse has been beaten enough to die 1000 deaths..... but I have to agree with the very musically knowledgeable "Brat" If a genie could grant me three musical wishes, one of them would be to somehow have John's crushing, bluesey, heavy voice (not a cheap imitation of Halford/Dickenson...Belladonna shrill) on all of Anthrax's classic/fast older tunes. If you could hear John sing Amoung the Living, AntiSocial, Got the Time and Caught in a Mosh at the live shows, then you would hear what they were meant to sound like from the beginning. I always thought Joey's voice was too weak to take seriously and the only and I repeat only weak part about the old releases.
Imagine John belting out these lyrics....
"Theres two kinds of people in this world, the outlaw and the law men that prevail...."
"Young and free something you'll never be!!!"
"I drink three six packs just so I can look at your face...."
"Any skeletons, any misfortunes, all your other sins...hiding in the closet!!!"
"A wave of hatred comes like a flood....brother on brother on brothers in blood..."
Anyway....I'll stop dreaming about what could've been....
By the way... STOMP 442 is so heavy (Voice included...) that I am in a daze everytime I listen to it front to back....
