1. How did you wind up on the Anthrax messageboard? The link on the Anthrax page years ago. I think maybe after volume 8 came out? A friend of mine had the CD and I had no idea that they even made a new album. At the time they were looking for people to do street team work for them. I was pretty suprised by how small they had gotten.

2. What are your favorite memories of posting here? I didn't start posting until the reunion. There were a bunch of regulars that went ape shit over how bad of a singer Joey was. Even the admin at the time made shots about it often. I saw one of the first shows in Chicago and posted a review (positive)

3. Can you tell us something about your personal life? (home, work, hobbies,...) Sure, I'm been divorced for a couple of years. I have 3 kids that live with me full time, one with autism. The bulk of my time is spent chasing them around, getting them to wherever they need to be, cleaning, cooking, etc. I'm also a "change of life style triathlete." I used to weigh over 400 pounds and lost over 150 about 6 years ago. I usually bike (mostly on my indoor trainer) or run (treadmill) in the morning before I get my kids up and I'll swim a few times a week during my lunch hour.

4. If you were Anthrax's manager, what would you make them do after the tour? The logical thing would be to rerecord the vocals for their "new" album and get it out ASAP to cash in on any interest they created from the current tours but being that Joey's voice is so off from Dan's and those were written for a heavier voice I'm not sure I would go that route.

5. Here's a tough one: Can you name one movie with Danny Glover where he's not playing a cop who's too old for that shit? Wasn't he the president in 2012? I know he was a politician in shooter.

6. What are some of your favorite non-metal bands? I like Foo Fighters lately

7. What is the best song on pot? (Not the album) I remeber jamming Into to reality and belly of the beast a lot when I was younger. I would go with that.

8. If you could be a famous person, living or dead, for one day, who would you choose? I would be Salma Hyek, then I would just play with my tits all day.

9. What are some your favorite personal memories of Anthrax? I remember jamming SOWN while walking to work when I was a teenager. Anyplace but here was playing on my IPOD when I hit mile 26 at the chicago marathon. And, they did this show when WCFYA came out in Chicago Heights that may have been my favorite concert ever.

Kind of ??!!
I resent that. I am a complete and total dumb ass thank you very much!
 
I have a few spectors which are nice but really like my ESp/LTD viper basses. They're like $500 and just work well for me.

I used to own a Japanese made (custom shop) ESP Viper, it was a good guitar but the balance was very awkward. It's pretty much inherent to the SG type shape. I have to say the balance of my Gibson Thunderbird could also have been better but it's not as bad as some say. I like Spector basses, but the real deal USA's cost an arm and a leg...
 
you're not kidding but the korean made ones play and sound excellent. They're a great value.
