The Spitz Situation...

[Teacher Dave]

Hi Guys,
I haven't been posting much either here or on the cdc site due to ill health. I made it to the glasgow gig but sadly wasn't up to the M+G.

What the fuck is going on here? Looks like Spitz went mental in the interview and genuinely said most/all of the stuff. The statement has more than a whiff of a ghost-written apology with no direct denial of the stuff that was supposedly said. The interview is still on blabbermouth and on the original site. Let's face it, there is no doubt that Spitz is a fucking lunatic of the first order at the best of times, but this surely means he's getting booted once current business in taken care of? They need to do this big tour coming up but then surely he must be out for the new album??? with the great care that Anthrax have taken to preserve their privacy in general this was a most serious break in the ranks. Respect to Scott for being upfront on this board about the situation. Any more thoughts Wu13?

Metal-Rules.com Official Statement Regarding Recent Anthrax Interview

Since our interviewer and our whole webzine has been referred to as
“tabloid-esque journalism” with an interview that is “a compilation of
bullshit”, we felt we needed to make a statement about the interview that
was done with Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz.

Many people that have been upset about the comments and excerpts that
Blabbermouth chose to highlight from the interview. Many who commented on
it seem to have not even read the actual interview in full and are simply
reacting to an attention grabbing headline.

Metal-Rules.com interviewer, Marko Syrjälä, says that: “the impression I
got while talking at length with Dan Spitz, was that he absolutely was not
bad-mouthing anybody, just being very honest, which is a rare thing these
days. In no way did anything he said come across to me as arrogant or
malicious. Understandably, that aspect may not have been so obvious in the
written form. I saw none of the comments as stabs at anyone personally.
People (some on purpose I'm sure) are reading way too much into things,
the overall tone of the whole interview was very positive and it was also
quite clear that Dan is really very pleased to be back playing with the
guys and is looking forward to making new music. I hope that clears up
some of the confusion.”

We would like to emphasize, however, that the interview did happen and
there was no fabrication whatsoever. This can be witnessed from the
recorded interview, which runs uninterrupted for almost an hour and a
half.

We hope this clears up any confusion and that we can put this drama behind
us. As Anthrax fans, we wish all the best for the band and for Dan and
hope that they will soon be releasing a new album that will kick our
collective asses!

Sincerely,
Metal-rules
