Yeah, I was at the Orlando show.....it was great! Awesome crowd turnout, furious pit for the first half of the show and Anthrax sounded unbelievable! I wish they would have played for 3 hours! Priest was good too. Their drummer is as a kickass player and Ripper sounded like the original.
This is the third time I have seen Anthrax in Orlando (8th time overall). I saw them a few years back at what is now that huge country bar downtown called "8 Seconds". Got to speak to Scott outside before the show fow a few minutes. This was on the Sound of White Noise tour. And a few years earlier I saw them with Suicidal Tendencies at the old "Beachem Theater" downtown which is now some big dance club...it has changed names so many times I can't count. I got a serious black eye at that one because there was this drunk dickhead in the pit who was diliberately trying to take people out....so I just stood off to the side waiting for the right opportunity to teach this bitch a lesson.....then when he came my way, I ran at him full steam, pick his ass up, carried him across the pit and slammed his ass into the ground. Then I just slipped out of the pit. Sounds fun huh....well I must not have snuck out very sneakily, because about five minutes later I get hammered in the face out of nowhere.....didn't hurt too much, because of the alcohol content in me and the adrenaline from watching Thrax.....but a few minutes later a girl taps me on the shoulder and says: "do you know that there is blood gushing from your face?" ....Ahhh, the things you hear at an ANTHRAX concert........I fuckin love it!!!
