new anthrax lyrics?

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I wonder if that means new lyrics to existing songs. They must (legally??) have to not use Dan Nelson's work.

 

[antwax]

that would be my guess...and that would mean that now it is time for John to jump on board and make new vocal melodies and whatever he does...

Bad. Fucking. Ass.

To me, this means that John is definatly back. Why would they write new lyrics if they didn't have a singer?

Well if he gave permission they could. But it's probably more benificial to scrap his writing creds and rewrite the lyrics and give John a chance to throw some of his own ideas on there too (if he's not tapped out after writing for the upcoming Saint record).

Man, I can't wait. We get two new John Bush records soon (I hope!)

Sounds to me like they are reworking some of the Worship tunes and writing some new material. Anyway...sounds promising.

 

[antwax]

...if I were in their situation...I would start from the scratch...or at least replace the songs they played live with Dan to new ones...doing so they would avoid comparison between Dan and John...

Dan Nelson as write nothing for Anthrax, Scott always write the lyrics (John is the only other one who as writing lyrics for anthrax) since the departure of Neil Turbin. And when Dan join the band, the lyrics and the songs were done, the song was finish when they wanted to record them with Corey Taylor.

 

[Matt Bello]

Maybe the only thing Dan Nelson could have done, was some melodies line. But Frank and Scott make the big parts of the molodies.

 

[Matt Bello]

Dan had not a big input on the writing process. He own the song very well and make a big job, but Charlie always bring the song, Scott the lyrics and Frank and Scott the melodies, like usual.
