Just saw that, very cool to hear. Ten years ago it would have been gold.

It deserves to be gold, but in this day and age, 100K is great!

Maybe now the band will stop bitching about downloading.

100k sold. I wonder how much that translates in the how many ripped off from the internet?? Maybe the standards for gold and platinum status should change.

Good for Anthrax, but consider Rush's Clockwork Angels sold 100,000+ in its first week.

No, I will not consider it because it's a different genre of music that has many many more fans.

yeah no shit !! And a decade more of being on the scene

When they say 100K, is that just purchases of the actual CD or does that number include Itunes purchases?

Awesome. To be fair they've haven't gotten the commercial success some of their recent albums warranted but then again they've made some awful business decisions too.

But I am made up about this.

Given that Anthrax have a cover of Rush's Anthem on the upcoming re-release of Worship Music they would seem to acknowledge Rush as an influence.

What genre of music are Anthrax? Thrash, Heavy Metal, Hard Rock? They have covered a lot of different bands/genres over the years -- Discharge, Husker Du (with Bob Mould being dismissive of Discharge), The Police, Thin Lizzy, Kiss etc.

Cover songs don't determine your genre..........
