Nice fkn Ballad

[AlexStomp]

Pretty ironic that Anthrax would parody ballads and then write record and release some on latter albums.

Anyway, I think Danny's solo on here is a bit underrated. He turns the song from a joke to a soulful expression and then the song becomes a joke again after the solo.

Classic song,was 1 of my favorites on that ep,brilliant solo and great song allround,1 of there better slow songs by a country mile

Lyrically aside, I think it's eons better than Bare. And right up there with Safe Home, a toast to the extras. Like I said earlier, I think Spitz's solo here is criminally ignored. Great tone, lyrical melody and technique. It's like a classic Anthrax misstep. They decide to mock 80's power ballads by writing a lyrically goofball song and then throw it almost as an afterthought on an EP. Radio stations at the time might have given it some attention had they taken a more serious approach. Ah fuck it..they were still young at the time. They had to break their ballad cherry at some point. Right ?

Where I live Anthrax is almost never played on the radio. Except for a few days ago, it was shortly past 4:20pm and I was relaxing (If you know what I mean) when Bring The Noise came on. Hardly ever hear them on that station, the only time they play heavy stuff is on their weekend metal show.

I always took it as a funny song, never dare compare it to Bare or Safe Home. Actually I think this is the first song I learned on guitar. Only the basic chords, of course. And yes, the solo is great here.

Great solo by Spitz, and the ending of the love story still cracks me up every time!

"She got hit by a truck." *song ends*

Another song from Killer B's that got my non-metal friends hooked to ANTHRAX ...for awhile. This one & Posse.
