Here's a great interview with one of my favorite people on this board!
1. How did you find the ultimatemetal.com message board and the Anthrax Section? I think it was by checking out Anthrax once I go on this internet thing.
2. What are your earliest memories posting here? I thought it was great to see other people's opinion's on my favourite metal band> however it has get pretty boring since the ATL line up reunion with the whole Joey / John debate.
3. What made you a fan of metal music in the first place? In the early '80's (I'm 42) i was into The Who and The Jam, and one day a school buddy gave me Denim & Leather by Saxon and Back in Black. That was me hooked on metal, and thereafter I got into Def Leppard, Motley Crue etc, and eventually Anthrax, Megadeth etc.
I like all sorts of music, I love The B-52's, Blur, Brian Setzer, but metal is my favourite genre. I got into Living Colour after seeing then support Anthrax on SOE tour. I recently bought an album called Crazy For You by Best Coast, it great summer music.
4. Ever played in a band and dreamt to make it? No
5. What would you change about Anthrax if you were Scott or Charlie? Accept that, in balance, Joey is probably a bigger draw than Bushthrax, however don't spit the dummy out and ignore all of the great Bush material that Joey could do justice to. If I was Scott I'd also stop slagging off band members who are currently no longer in the "Anthrax family", as you never know when you will need them to bail yourar$$$e out in the future! He has been very guilty of that over the years.
6. When was Anthrax at it's best in your opinion? POT and SOWN
It's worst? The whole Dan Nelson debacle is just embarrasing.
7. Tell us something about your home life (work, school, hobbies, etc...): I'm a chartered surveyor, married with a 19th month old daughter. I support Motherwell and Tottenham Hotspur (soccer clubs for you Yanks) and I love the Tour De France. I think Lance is guilty as hell when it comes to doping.
8. Joey Belladonna is the new Anthrax singer, what are your thoughts about that? Very happy!
9. If you had a chance to play in Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth or Metallica, which one would you choose?
Metallica for the cash, Anthrax coz they are the best.
10. What is your greatest personal memory of Anthrax? I saw them open for Maiden supporting POT in Edinburgh, it was amazing (the spinning clock, opening with Time, playing Keep it in the Family). Also the first WCFYA show in Glasgow at the Barra's, they dropped Got The Time and played Black Dahlia, amazing. I met them after the second Glasgow reunion show (the CDC stuff), I remember Joey being super happy and Danny wearing a diamond encrusted Star of David round his neck which looked mega expensive.

nobody wanted to see the band because their then new record vol.8 was shit. nonetheless the show was really good, Thrax played many old songs and the crowd enjoyed the show, Franky was freaky as always and Scott seemed pissed, playing in shitholes was not what he expected from vol.8
