I'll never forget going to the listening party for Stomp442 and not seeing Danny there (I had no clue he wasn't a part of Anthrax anymore). I was able to have a conversation with Frankie as to why Danny wasn't there...Besides the reasons some of you listed above, he also said the main reason was he was now a father and wanted to be closer to his daughters...

I read also that he never liked the way the whole Joey/Bush thing went down. That, and he watned to do watches, lost his interest in making music and all that.

i don't mean to be a complete fucking metal dork about it, but to say that Anthrax followed suite of nu-metal and got rid of solos almost completely is garbage.
every song on WHITE NOISE has a lead.
10/11 songs on STOMP have a lead.
10/14 on VOLUME8 did. (cupajoe and 604 don't need solos)
9/14 on WCFYA had solos. (contact and crash don't need solos. `superhero` and `refuse to be denied` don't have "real" leads, so much as riffs that take the forefront. `black dahlia` and `taking the music back` are the only songs without leads per se)

It might have been couldn't write leads. There's a certain drummer who wrote some when he couldn't.

yeah i'd say most of those songs have lead breaks, not exactly in the realm of solos tho huh, thers a huge difference between the solos in p.o.t. to s.o.w.n. say, and more so in stomp........but before you send me a song by song solo duration chart i am not reffering to every song, obviously a lot stiill kill...anyhoo i was just gibbing, i very much doubt dan left cos of anything to do with the lead twiddley bits

Leaving Anthrax in 1995 was after 15 years of constant touring/album/touring/album cycles and this had taken it's toll on me and my two children at that time. I was the only person in Anthrax with a family at home. I had lost the love of my instrument around 1994 and it did not return until a year or so ago when I walked onstage at B.B.Kings in N.Y.C. with Nicko McBrain and my brother Dave on bass to play an Iron Maiden cover.
Hi Ted!

I think yu have a good point, I clearly remember SOWN being marketed as "grunge metal" I think they tried to stay trendy.
