Hey guys, this is my first post here. I signed up cause I just had to speak my mind. I've been a huge fan of the guys since the STD album, and although my taste in music has changed (back then I was 14, just listening to metal and thrash - hell, now I think great music can be found everywhere if one knows how to listen) Anthrax has remained the only band constant in my favorite artists. Living here in Athens, Greece I've never had the chance to see them live. Came close last summer, but some idiot fuck-up organisers screwed the festival and the guys never appeared, even though they were in Athens.
The point that I'm trying to make is that wether we realise it or not, the guys are getting us all excited and psyched about the band again! We're posting stuff, reading stuff, debating on the Bush vs Belladonna thing, speaking our mind and caring about what's happening in the band! Plus, they're still out on the road rocking like maniacs everyplace they can. They're not cruising around in ridiculous cars or buying art in galleries (those of you that have seen "Some kind of monster" know what I'm talking about) or touring only Japan and Germany trying to relive past glory days.
OK, so maybe they're doing the reunion stuff for the money. Or maybe they genuinely wanted to do something like that. Bush rocks. Joey rocks too. I hope the guys can find a way for both of them to stay in the band. Ditto for Frankie and Dan. I'd hate to think of Anthrax live without Frankie running around on stage.
What matters to me the most is that they are still around, still kicking ass and making me feel like I'm 14 again! I have my tickets for the Rockwave festival and I can't wait to see them live in Athens at last. And I also hope some of you guys realise how important it is that there is a band out there that we actually care so much about.

You have said what I have tried to say all along. This band has been amazing to me since I first borrowed a friend's tape in the 80's.
