Help Me Request Anthrax

[CyThrax]

I've tried to request Safe Home online at two radio stations in Iowa. KAZR 103.3 in Des Moines has been playing new Anthrax songs every week on their "Aggro Culture" show. Here is a copy of an email I got from the Aggro Culture DJ Andy Hall:

Just type that you're from Des Moines.

At least they sound positive about the new cd and a few songs off it have been getting played some. Here's a copy of an email I got from the program director at KFMW 107.9 in Waterloo when I requested Safe Home

I'm well aware of the song. (I was playing Anthrax on radio in the
mid-80's!) However nationally, radio isn't playing this song and you
can see
that for yourself. Check out the radio industry website
www.radioandrecords.com and on the left side of the site you'll see
'Music
Formats' or 'Charts' - you can click on 'Active Rock' (our format) and
see
what the national picture looks like. You can also see what 70 other
Active
Rock stations in the country are playing by clicking on 'Station
Playlists'
which I believe is underneath the links that list formats. Click on the
playlists, choose the format (Active Rock) and you can then look at
individial station playlists.

I have been a John Bush (lead singer) fan since his days in Armoured
Saint,
but Anthrax simply isn't a viable band in 2003. I think the new album
is
okay and the single isn't bad, but how many people really care about
this
band? How many CD's will they sell? 100,000? If it was something that
70
other rock stations were going to play, then I'd be on it. The truth is
that
maybe a handful of these stations will play it, the record won't go
anywhere
and I'd be wasting a slot that I could have given to a up and coming
new
band instead.

So that pretty much sucked. You can e-request on their website at:

and click on request on the left side of the page.

Sorry this was so long, but maybe this will help a little bit

It sucks when a band is no longer 'viable' because they didn't get put together by a record company two weeks ago and don't want to mix rap and metal and sound like everyone else on the planet.

Anyone who can, with a straight face, say anything chevelle has EVER done is better than anything Anthrax ever thought was two weak to go on a cd is either insane or an international spy well versed in the art of the lie.

I sent emails and will send more.

I also sent in a request. And btw, I've tried telling stations that "We've Come For You All" is the best album since Slayer's "God Hates Us All" album...........(that means it is fucking killer!).......but that's probably not giving the album justice, since nobody's heard Slayer on the radio either (at least not in Denver)
oh welllll
