I feel for them, its like their world came down around them. But, I pose this question....
If the intenet as we know it was around in '86 or even '83, what would they say about Metallica, Black Sabbath and others that went through line-up changes?
This all can be kinda-sorta compared to a certain typle of car fanatics. They see a Chevelle (for example) and the owner sunk tens of thousands of dollars into it, blood sweat and tears (and divorce) and make it HIS car, the way he wants it, but its been turned into a low-rider. Even though its his car, its what he wanted to do with it, the so called "car fan" calls it crap and ugly and the owner should be dragged into the street and publicly beaten to death. Anthrax is still Anthrax with either or neither singing.
