ERIC SAYS: "Just being consistent and sticking to your blueprint. It's easy when other bands come into the scene that are like a whole new different style to go, 'I wanna be like that now!' But we have a following and we've got to be like, 'This is how we are!' It's very important that you stick to your guns. When you're a thrash band, it's not a good idea to add rap, or start wearing trippy clothes — the fans can see right through that crap."

..i do believe ANTHRAX never said they are/were a THRASH metal band....

I'm more interested in this line
"Just being consistent and sticking to your blueprint. It's easy when other bands come into the scene that are like a whole new different style to go, 'I wanna be like that now!'
...Anthrax and their Pantera fetish came into mind...

I love Anthrax, but I can't disagree with that.

Don't care what he says. I still like Anthrax's music better than Testament.

You tell em' Scooterville!!

I do like Testament, but unlike Anthrax, they hardly ever have come up with anything new.

if you like metal, it is not a good idea to walk around without black and white paint in your face.

if you like metal, it is not a good idea to drink anything but beer.

if you like metal, it is not a good idea to refrain from eating bats, and please start with the head.

if you like metal ... [enter here ]

... with all the respect to Testament (I am a big fan, especially the last two albums): how narrow-minded can one be? or was it just a joke?

That's not a shot at Anthrax!

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

That's not a shot at Anthrax!

What other thrash band added rap and wore trippy clothes?

And no, Machine Head never was or isnt thrash.

Anthrax did start wearing stupid grunge clothing. Bush tried to look like Eddie Vedder. They changed their sound to be more like what was "in" at the time. Though a few people liked that era I would say the majority of thrash fans that followed Anthrax from the beginning lost interest in them. I am included in that group.

Testament has a much bigger catalog of quality thrash albums than Anthrax does. I think testament is the best thrash band ever..well unless you consider Slayer thrash
