The ACTUAL Anthrax/ Revovler Magazine Article

[Drokk]

"The group blasts through songs it has hardly touched in more than a decade..."
WTF

This article sure makes it obvious who wears the pants in this band

Thanks for the scans. The article made me realize again what an unlucky band Anthrax have been. It seems to me that they don't even know how Anthrax will continue when the reunion tour is over.

I'll be catching the guys on 10/26 and as a journalist (as well as a fan) I really hope to write about a better experience!

 

[lokey]

fuck journalists

 

[Mickenglanduk]

Typical tabloid style journalism. A few new quotes infilled with a history lesson and abit of guess work.

 

[ThraxDude]

I'm gonna go steal that issue or Revolver.
I'm running low on toilet paper.

 

[mrthrax]

pretty good read.

 

[walking dead 666]

Wow! That's really all I can say at this moment.

It may have only sold 64,500 copies, but it was probably downloaded 164,500 times.

For sure.

There is probably more truth to that than anyone knows. I'll bet illegal downloads beat sales 4 to 1 these days. Easy.

I think that was a good, honest article. There were a lot of revelations in there too.

1. Spitz and Frank didn't want Joey sent packing. Interesting.

2. Spitz was to a greater or lesser degree involved in Stomp442 before being let go at the last minute. Could that be why his guitar tech Paul Crook came out of nowhere and did half the solos on the record?

3. Charlie had been thinking about reuniting the band for a long time?

4. I wonder who Frankie punched out to get fired from the band?

5. Etc., etc.

Paul Crook hadn't been his guitar tech for a while when that took place. Paul had been doing his own thing and playing in Belladonna. (He was also tech for some other guitarists, including Kerry King I believe.)

1) was surprised about Frank too, I knew about Danny, 2) I don't think Paul was his tech even on SOWN, but he's in PoT credits, 3) it was Charlie's idea to do a joint tour in 1999, 4) Charlie.

What I learned from the article was that: Charlie questions Joey's abilities to participate on the record and Danny suffers from mental illness (old news for those who have read his infamous 20 Questions). Good luck in studio and try your best not to kill each other please.

maybe they need to borrow " dr phil" from the metallica some kind of monster dvd

you got me. And how about that guy from The Exorcist!

 

[What Doesnt Die]

Thanks a lot man! Not a flattering article to be sure, and one that makes me doubt how long the "reunion" can last. Charlie certaintly doesn't seem to have much respect for Joey based on that comment about confidence/ talent. Still, it does confirm that the band, as Scott has said, doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Definalty. This whole thing gets weirder.

I find it very hard to believe that WCFYA only sold 64,500.

Me too, in europe (especially germany & austria) mags wrote great reviews, many interviews (ANTHRAX is back!) etc. and in polls, as I remember, WCFYA was allways under the best 10 albums of the year. Even some friends bought WCFYA as their first 'Thrax cd.

By the way: I didn't read ANYTHING about Alive 2 in any german mag.
(maybe I missed an article, but I read a lot....) Strange.

Thanx 4 the article!

64,500 is probably the domestic USA Soundscan isn't it? I thought that didn't count worldwide sales.
