What´s wrong with Maiden T-shirts? If Kofi Annan wore one people would start thinking he was kinda cool.

Come on, people who grew up listening to Maiden are now in their thirties and closing in on forty. I think it´s cool to meet the old-schoolers who are not afraid to wear T-shirts with their fav bands logos.

That's just ridiculous! I mean your making a big deal about him wearing an Iron Maiden shirt!? That's just knit-picking. Aye I like Bush too, but I think you "Like" Bush... your obsessing over the wrong BUSH if you know what I mean. Everyone take a deep breath and you'll get through this.Armored_Bush said:Thanks for posting the pix supercharger

Did anyone else notice how Belladonna seems to be stuck in an 80's timewarp with his Maiden t-shirt from the Somewhere In Time era?
Been a fan of Thrax since A&D and first saw them in '86 with Metallica and they were great, however when Bush joined and Premadonna left the band were 100x better and less ego!
Now here we are in 21st Century with Bush gone and Joey Premadonna back to reclaim those '80's hey-days...
sad, sad day for Anthrax & Fans,
Armored Saint ruled, but that era is gone with the '80's as well (Delerious Nomad was one of the best metal albums ever!!)
Lets look forward and not back!

Fair points everyone had made, and I'm not saying that what Anthrax is doing is either right or wrong, what I am saying is that in my opinion, Joey has always been a "premadonna" the double header tour was a great example where JB & JB (what's the chances of that?!) would both sing Bush doing the new Anthrax material and Beladonna doing the older material. However Joey never got the money he was looking for and in the end pulled out.
Now here we are 2005, Anthrax are getting better and better with each album, Belladonna getting further and further into obscurity - then all of a sudden :hotjump: we're back!!!!!
Music from the 80's was great, I still listen to it and love it - but come on Metal should and can move forward - no point in doing a "Motley" or "Kiss" where you all get back together and milk the money from the kids (and us of the older generation) because it WON'T be the same as when they were around in '85, it would be worse!
I have been around the boards for a while and posted now and then under different names (too old to remember all these damn usernames & passwords
)So lets see what happens, and I do hope that Anthrax do well with this tour (I still like the band, nothing will change that) but we don't want it to go soooo bad that they lose respect and more fans as well as decide that now they should give up!!
Great discussion though...

Yeah, it's a difficult time for people. But you watch, it will be OK! My only concern really is that they all get along and that it is a positive experience... it would be a shame for all of this to happen and then they are at each other's throats.

Is there a way to hear the press conference from yesterday?? I heard some of it but I was at work & did'nt get to listen to much. They sounded happy, but with the pictures they don't look too happy at all.I do hope they all get along well for this reunion,but as they said yesterday "this could end tommorrow".

Joey is a member who was asked to rejoin the band, so if he is stuck in the 80s, then so is the rest of the band.
True, but they were'nt until now, TGOTE was the nod to the old skool where the fans picked the tracks and Anthrax recorded them - updated them and brought them bang upto date with the new bad and new vibe.. It ROCKED!!!!!!!!!
Now they have gone backwards....
Shame...

I loved to be stuck back in the 80's. Man every weekend there was a great show to see,(Sundance,Bay Shore,L.I. R.I.P) The scene is not what it used to be.
