Interview

It explains the WM/WCFYA artwork smilarities, and:

At the end of 2007, Dan Nelson was named vocalist for Anthrax. The band played a few shows with their new singer and began recording Worship Music together. Then in mid-2009, Nelson unexpectedly left the group. That whole debacle set Anthrax back at least 18 months. “All I can really say about that, obviously having hindsight and being able to look back on everything that’s happened since the end of ‘06 up until now, some things happen for a reason,” concedes Scott. “Everyone went into that situation with open hearts and minds, everything was great. And things changed. He (Dan Nelson) made the decision to not move forward in this band. That’s the absolute – that’s what happened; we have the emails. He made that decision and I’ve got to say it’s a good thing he did because then maybe we’re not sitting here with the record we have right now. Everything happens for a reason. I’m not a spiritual guy by any means. This is one of those situations in my life where I can now look back on it and say, what if this didn’t happen? What would we be doing right now? It’s pretty strange how things ended up working out over the last few years. Very difficult at some points, but the thing that kept us going was the record. We felt so strongly about these songs, and we knew what this could be if we would just get the chance to finish it. Obviously we did and everything worked out.”

:lol::headbang:


So I wonder what really happened, since it's all he said she said
 
I could care less about Dan Nelson, lol, for real. Dan is such a Philip Anselmo wanna-be and it really is Scott's fault. I am by far stupid and I know Scott was on this Pantera binge thinking he can make some new Anthrax/Pantera thing with Dan on vocals.
 
I bet in the future, it will be available. Nothing is leak proof anymore. I still have no interest in hearing it. I was never 100 percent sold on Nelson. Too much of a jockhead Pantera clone. Doesn't fit with the essence of Anthrax, which is heavy distorted guitars/riffs with a fast thunderous rhythm section and melodic voice.
 
The last Anthrax was in a recording studio with Joey Belladonna was Persistence Of Time – 21 years ago. Worship Music must have felt like a high school reunion. “We worked on this record differently than any other time in the past, from back then when Joey was in the band. We approached it differently this time, which was basically giving Joey the freedom to go into the studio and do his thing. Obviously he had templates; songs were done and lyrics were finished. He was going in and singing the songs, but it was just him and Jay Ruston (who produced the vocals and also mixed the record). We just kind of left it to the two of them to figure it out. We wanted to give Joey that kind of freedom, which was different than it was in the past with Anthrax. Back on all those Joey Belladonna records from the ‘80s up to Persistence Of Time, it was very much a case of a lot of dictation, and we didn’t want to be that way this time. We wanted Joey to be able to go in and make his own choices. If he had ideas that were different than the ideas we were giving him, we wanted to hear those ideas. We wanted this to be an open door policy for him, and have our singer contribute to this record. There are a lot of choices he makes vocally and phrasing wise, even notes, where he would take a line that was sung a certain way, and he would make different note choices. These are ideas that I certainly didn’t have in my head, and they made the songs better. It was really refreshing to be able to do that and give Joey that opportunity.”

Good to know the writing/recording/arranging of this album was more collaborative this time around.

Don shitting the bed

A short time later, Nelson took to his own Twitter profile and Facebook page to correct Ian, writing, "'Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't' for the first time in the States, eh?? Wouldn't that be at the Double Door in Chicago when we played the song WE ALL wrote together?? I guess Chicago is no longer in the States??" and linking to a YouTube clip of the Nelson-fronted version of the song as performed on May 28, 2008 at the Double Door in Chicago, Illinois. A subsequent tweet from Nelson included a link to a YouTube performance clip [see below] of "Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't" from June 30, 2009 in The Hague, The Netherlands, featuring Nelson on vocals, with an accompanying message, "The way it was meant to sound… METAL."

Earlier today, Nelson made another posting on his Twitter profile, writing, "There really is no honor among THIEVES. Back to real life, with true family and friends who won't STEAL or stab you in the back for MONEY!" He then clarified, "I have nothing but respect for Joey Belladonna as a vocalist... If it came across as otherwise, that was not my intention. I was simply talking about lyrics/melodies being used that I wrote... That is all."

I don't think anyone REALLY gives a shit too much. I am just glad this album is going to come out after all the bs. I think it was ridiculous that they hired Don Nelson in the first place. It was fate that he was no longer in the band and that Anthrax is back to sounding like themselves again for the first time in like 20 years.
