Ok I was at the BArras lat night, and Ive now seen all 4 of 'the big four' (slayer being my fav) but I can safely say that Anthrax was the best gig ever!!!!!! I know I was always gonna be biased being such a fuckin huge belladonna era fan,and I know that there is extremely mixed feelings on this board about the gig.Buit from my perspective they were awesome. Joey's vocals were spot on, hitting all the high notes on Medusa,lone justice and madhouse very weell in particular. Scott looked a wee bit left out but still looked to b ahving a good time.Charlie was solid,frankie throws himself around like an arse slightly but had alot of energy at least and a cool stage presence(his bass soundswasnt good at the start but got fixed),and spitz suprised me,while being a poser he still looked very involved and genuinley happy to be there, and he hit his leads very well indeed. Jsut when they hit the stage though, I knew this was going to be special,,there was just so much energy.And the crowd was absolutley insane giving a deafening roar especially for the likes of indians and caught in a mosh. 
As I have sayd in e previous post, this was my version of 1987, and Im only 16 but sinse i was 12 i have dreamed of this lineup as in my humble opinion they are far better (no disrespect to Bush hes a great vocalist the music just isnt as good for me). The sound was ok but i was at the barrier, so I was a bit close to take all the instruments in all the time but evrything sounded fine and the band were tight as a unit. The set was ok but not amazing, was a wee bit annoyed that i didnt here armed and dnagerous but was so happy to here be all end all,medusa and especially lone justice(joey absolutely nailed that).Also deathrider wasnt thaat bad,jsut not great.It sounded as if he'd found a medium between turbins and johns versions and dint really go out of key. As you can tell i really enjoyed this gig just because the band sounded tight as hell and looked genuinley thrilled to be playin(exept for Scott), and the crowd were fuckin nuts!!!! oh and I rocked so hard, I passed out during metal thrashing mad after gathering up every ounce of energy for the first high scream in the song(I went in to the gig ina n emoty stomach and kanckered as i ahd had an all day exam,so its understandable, but i came round after 30 seconds...never rock an empty stomach
).
Oh and a big shout out to man of the hour who were evry good. singer was funny as fuck!!
