Come to think of it. Anthrax and Killing Joke released awsome albums in 2003. In that time KJ has disbanded and returned with one good and one great album and what have Thrax done... had singers, basists and guitarists quit and rejoin. Done the nostalgia tours. Released rerecordings and "best of" and some live stuff. There have been a lot of things going on yet all I can think of is how much Scott loves poker and other damned things. How many new Megadeth records (pretty good ones too) have been released in that time, is it 3 with one in the works?
One thing us fans have in common no matter who our choice of singer and lead guitarist is that we have waited a VERY long time for something NEW. Even the most rabid Joey-fans are tired of the nostalgia tours and want to hear the new material with him singing. I understand that they want to quality check and rework them a bit for Joey but for business this is really bad, if I were working for their label I would send many annoying messages to Charlie when he is hunting Simpsons dolls on Ebay and Scott better remember to shut down his Blackberry during poker.
