Video of Anthrax playing Only in Russia
- Thread starter timmyc
- Start date
One thing I have noticed, Ian seems to be having a lot of fun. He has seemed progressively more energetic in every new video, more so than I have seen him in years. Wonder if he realized what could have been yet?
I don't know, I think he is enjoying being relevant to the metal masses again!
I hope it really sticks in Scott's throat that despite all the shite he has thrown at Joey over the last decade or so, it's taken Joey's return to save and probably rejuvinate the band. As noted, even Scott himself seems to be enjoying it. And I say this as a big Bushthrax fan.[/QUOTE]
When I saw them in LA on the second of 3 reunion shows in LA, Scott was going nuts on stage as well. Everyone appeared to be loving it. The crowd was going insane, the band members going off etc. They even announced they would be making a new album etc. Everything appeared great...
then all of a sudden rumors were Corey Taylor was going to sing on the next album WTF??? Then some unknown guy Dan Nelson WTF? Joey was left out in the dark again. They made some REALLY bad decisions. I can't even believe Joey would come back to them. I would have told those guys to fuck themselves. If he would have done that they would have been out of jobs and not been part of any Carnage Tours.
But I am glad he is back and hopefully the next album is a return to form that has been missing for 15 years

Good thing they got Joey back. Can you imagine if they continued playing nothing but small venues and clubs with Dan Nelson. All the people would be dressed like chairs.
If it wasn't a "big four" event I suspect fuck off would have been the only response, followed by maniacal laughter. But yeah, this is the 2nd time Joey has bailed them out.
I think Scott should have just tried to get Phil Anselmo to sing for them. It seems that is what he has wanted. Even got Bush to start acting like Phil on stage. I saw them with Dan Nelson. He was the same thing. The way he would act on stage was very similar to Phil Anselmo.
I saw them open for Iron Maiden. The band sounded good and vocally Dan Nelson was fine. He sounded a lot like John Bush, kind of grungy. But it just wasn't the same which was evident by the half assed crowd reaction.
I saw Anthrax open for Iron Maiden in the exact same venue in 1991 and the place was going apeshit. This time the venue was half full and the response dismal compared to back then. Maiden of course came out and put on one of the best performances I have ever seen in my life.

Phil Anselmo singing for Anthrax would be awesome but Anthrax need other people to write songs for them, unfortunately Charlie has lost his songwriting-abilities after White Noise.
