Should they have these songs in their set anymore?

[sixxswine]

Is it time for Anthrax to retire "I'm The Man" and "Bring The Noize" from their set list? Neither have aged well and are down right silly to watch them perform.

Well. Whatever. Who cares??

If Bush ain't singing who cares??

As long as they don't even think of having Joey taint "Only," "Safe Home," etc., I don't see why not.

Agreed. That would be gay!

Personally I would retire those two songs for more heavier and obscure numbers.

I agree. If Belladonna is gonna do some Bush era material live I'd personally prefer they pick better songs than Only and Room.... But I'd say it's a fair bet those'll be the first two they try.

 

[Heavymetalzombie666]

Black Lodge is another one they should try again and maybe play Metal Thrashing Mad from the Neil Turban era.

 

[L.F]

Howling Furies even. They did play Deathrider during the reunion didn't they?

 

[Heavymetalzombie666]

Yes they did play Deathrider.

They should keep playing Bring the noise and I'm the man, are metal / rap songs, and no one else play today something like that (well, you got Limp Bizkit for example, but, that is a shit).

 

[vomit]

Hahaha! I can't wait to see reactions to Joey's version of "Only." Next month can't come soon enough.

Indeed. I can hear the crowd retching already!

 

[Ace Kendrich]

Actually, I think Joey could do pretty well on Only. It's not like it's Hy Pro Glo or something.

Anthrax need to honor the Bush catalog if they want to stay relevant.I'm sure they will rework some of the Bush material to accommodate Joey's vocal style.To be honest, when Bush joined the band I couldn't imagine him singing some of the Joey songs, but in the end it all worked.

 

[Cargath]

Only is one of Anthrax greatest songs, they just have to play it, no matter whos the current singer. It's like Black Sabbath always played Paranoid, even with Dio on vocals. And i really don't think Joey would do that bad on Only.

And as i said in the other thread, i always liked that Anthrax are no music-facists like most metalheads, which includes doing this Rap-Metal-Crossover songs. I think the original recordings sound shit, but recent live version have always been great. I think they should never stop playing these songs, because they showcase what Anthrax stand for.

Very cool idea. I like this.

You clearly cares because youre still here bitching. If you didnt care you wouldnt be here.

I'd been championing for the removal of Bring the Noize for a long time. A typical Anthrax set (14 songs) is full of covers; Antisocial, Bring the Noize, Got the Time and usually one more not from a record, e.g. AC/DC.

Now, I know that Anthrax have made Antisocial and Got the Time their own, but they have such a fantastic catalog that they should bin ALL of them.

Let's have Who Cares Wins, One Man Stands, 1000 Points of Hate, Catharsis, Nothing, etc, etc

Well then because you say so consider it done!

YES.

 

[xentrix]

Didn't quite catch that, did you say, 'yes'?
