    Benante has pulled out of the Australian tour for personal reasons. Pulled out last year on one of the tours for the same reason.


    Given the split that Dave Lombardo has just made with Slayer and the bitching that looks to be starting between Slayer and him, I wonder if we will see Lombardo coming in to cover for Benante like he did the last time Charlie needed time away.

    New Anthrax, from the Game of Thrones mixtape album. Iirc this was a song for the new album that was reworked for this project. Very much a worship music vibe from it which is no bad thing imo.

    Why was Belladonna takin back I thought he left because he wanted Anthrax to turn into a Bon Jovi. POT was the last album I ever listend to never rated the guy as a vocalist.

    In that case, if you haven't already, the John Bush era stuff might suit you?
    I have no interest in the new era Belladonna stuff.

    Had a listen to the latest Armored Saint album and why the Anthrax riffs come across better, I'm still a bigger fan of John Bush.

    Saw them at their own headline show at a small club. Blew the roof off the place. People complain about Anthrax for different reasons (Belladonna v Bush etc.) but the one thing you can't fault them for is their live performance. They were brilliant.

    Not an Anthrax fan anymore but i really like it got a catchy chorus far removed from the Anthrax of old. They even labeled a Thrash metal band know?

    Sounds really generic to me. I miss John Bush to be honest, so am away to check out Armored Saint's newest album.

    Have given the new album a few spins not great being honest and I thought Worship was great with just "Judas Priest" being deemed skipable pretty much.

    Anyway the new one...Musicianship and Production are solid; but the songs just aren't there for the most part, Joeys vocals in some tracks can be pretty grating ALL OF...ALL OF THEM THIEVES easily springing to mind. Breathing Lightning and the opener Gotta Believe are the strongest tracks, Blood Eagle Wings very decent too.

    I notice they are on tour at the moment although part of a bill are only playing Evil Twin in their set but air covers of Got the Time and Antisocial for the one thousandth time baffling.

    Yikes, if "Breathing Lightning" is one of the strongest tracks then:

    Lost interest after John Bush left. I'm wondering are the mixed reviews enough to tempt me to go to Slayer/Anthrax gig or not.....

    I remember hearing Only when it was released as a single. It was lights years ahead of anything done under the Anthrax banner. The Sound of White Noise, Stomp 442, The Threat Is Real and We've Come for You All were better than anything any of the other Big 4 were doing at the time. He got turfed out for the nostalgia tours they're doing now.

    If you listen to the latest WTF Marc Maron podcast with Scott Ian he goes into a bit of detail about this.
    Entertaining podcast but can't help feeling Scott might have been a pain in the ass back in their heyday.
