well my 2 cents on this Corey Taylor/Anthrax story is...
Corey HAS A GREAT VOICE to make the next Anthrax album a killer record.
He IS limited in my opinion, compared to Joey/Bush. Especially the clean vocals. But the guy have a "nice" aggressive voice tone.
To tell you the truth a couple of days ago I saw a video of a Stone Sour recent Am Ring performance and Corey reminded me a combination of John Bush and Phil Anselmo. He is as talkative as the last, with plenty of MFing compliments to the public. And in interviews he seemed more down to earth than I thought he would be.
He seems to be close to the guys and honored. That contributes for a good outcome I believe.
PLUS the album would be aggressive that´s for sure.
With some melodic parts probably but he would pump things up with them.
BUT (now the other 1 cent)
He is already the fucking VOICE for Slipknot AND Stone Sour!!
I mean it´s almost like Phil Anselmo getting into Black Sabbath!
That´s not quite Black Sabbath!
So my biggest concern is that FOR ME it will not sound like the NEW ANTHRAX but Anthrax WITH Corey Taylor singing.
As an old time Anthrax fan I would rather see Bush with them, that´s for sure, but I also feel a killer record is coming. Whoever the singer.
Also (now the cheap bastard spamming part)... please take a listen to INDIANS...NOT! The Brazilian Tribute to Anthrax.
