'Pieces' is the best song on Vol. 8 imo, i know it's a song sung by Frank about his brother who got murdered. it's a great rock-ballad but it's not a song i want to hear when i put in an Anthrax-cd. the best song on the album is the hidden-track, that says something about Vol. 8.

You know, I never considered it as a real "Anthrax song". It's just something Frankie and Charlie played for their deceased relative. BTW what's your opinion on Startin' Up A Posse, N.F.B. and songs like that?

Waaayyy too many post to quote, so I'll just say that I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the bermuda shorts before, Slayer gets boring after a while, Metallica sucks and I like the song 'Nothing'.

i like them all but those are only b-sides and no regular album-tracks, they were recorded just for fun. 'Startin' Up A Posse' is comparable to 'Toast' with the difference that 'Posse' has fast HC-parts with typical oldschool Anthrax-drumming and riffing and a S.O.D.-vibe while 'Toast' is just a generic Country-song imo, the 'Bonanza-theme' in Thrash-style is priceless.

I thought Toast was recorded only for fun too. Anthrax has always been a funny band and now you seem to mind the fact.
Did you ever see them wearing the bermuda shorts and hats in the POT-era ?
The answer to that is no.
The answer to that is no.

'Toast' is sad imo, it shows the decline and disorientation of Anthrax better than any other song. it's not funny to put out a collection of b-sides recorded in legless condition as a regular album and expect the loyal fanbase to be happy with it. the only problem with Vol. 8 was that the a-sides were missing.
which means that they didn't put out any a-sides between 1995 and 2003, sad but true.

Isn't that because they sold out and went after the trendy serious thrash metal look?
These guys have always changed looks I suppose. When it all comes down to it I could really care less if they looked like Pearl Jam as long as the music was still good. For me that ended after POT. For others it never did. Even I am tired of that debate.

First of all, who gives a shit about the clothes they wear. I bet you don't wear the same shit you did in the '80s. Shit changes...it's not the 1970s anymore, put your bellbottoms away! And you mention that they went from '80s thrash metal (a musical movement) to trying to LOOK like Pearl Jam (you went from a musicial topic to a topic about clothes - who gives a fuck!? - and plus, they surely never DRESSED like '80s thrash metal - they were wearing fucking shorts and hawaiian shirts and ninja turtle guitars).
Yeah, cause they were totally wearing all of that on the cover of the Armed & Dangerous EP.
Dont forget the Neil Turbin era had none of that. The comedy in Anthrax didnt start until after Spreading The Disease.

No but they had HUGE hairspray teased hair. Except Scott, because he didn't have much to spray LOL

So they sold out back in 1985?

'I'm Eighteen' was Anthrax's sell-out song like 'Fade To Black' was Metallica's, both great tunes imo. so Anthrax sold out before Metallica.

Who gives a flying fuck who sold out, and who wore what? When I sit listening to music I don't actually SEE Joey Belladonna wearing bermuda shorts, or Lars Ulrich counting his money, and I don't really give a flying fuck if Metallica DID write Mama Said because they're all homosexuals or Anthrax wrote Toast to the Extras because they couldn't keep the metal faith.
All I care about is if the songs are good!
Toast is a decent song, Mama Said was actually one of the better written songs on the Load/Reload albums and I quite enjoy it thanks very fucking much!
