I love anthrax and think there bush records are better over all.But I have been a fan since 89 and I will tell you this Iam 26 know and was 11 then.
Back then they were younger and had way better promotion there videos were on Headbangers Ball all the time and they were on quite often.
Sometimes they were even on dail Mtv.They also toured with Ozzy,were on Clash of the titains,and were on yo Mtv raps with bring the noise,Sound of white noise did good cause Mtv played only during the day sometimes and it was all over headbangers ball and Elektra promoted the shit out of it,
Also thrash and metal in general were huge back then anybody into to music then will remember.
That is why they were bigger,you can put the best record of your life out,but if MTv radio or your record company dont play or promote it,know one will know about it or bye it,Also many stores dont even carry anthrax anymore,older people dont always by Cds at record stores,they got to Targets and walmarts and so on.when I was younger it was ok to like older artist cause they were promoted by mtv and radio.
Know you have to have sold millions and millions like Metallica,ozzy,Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
You Basically got to become part of the highschool experince and Anthrax will never be at that level they missed out in the early 90s on gaining that staus when Mtv turned to ALternative.
Metallica made it and Megadeth did pretty well but ANthrax got left out basically,
Its funny cause slayer sells way more records know and plays bigger venues in my are cause they never went for the big money I guess,
