Anthrax hire new vocalist.

About time they got someone in. Should never have messed John Bush around in the first place for Joey Belladonna.

All Belladonna saw was $ signs from a reunion tour, and then had no interest in recording new stuff.

Dan Nelson is onboard now. Good singer, very Stone Sour-ish in his style, and has a good range. Hopefully a new album will follow sooner rather than later, and Dan will make the slot his own, like John Bush did on The Sound Of White Noise.

Eeep, gonna try and remain optimistic about this one. For me Joey Belladona was the best Anthrax vocalist

Does this Dan guy have any previous work? Never heard of him before.

Jesus christ. I am a huge Anthrax fan but I think I'll be boycotting this. Never should have fecked Bush around.

Fozzy

I'd like to hear this new guy. Bush was a much better fit than Belladonna, but is it a case now of Bush not wanting back in or the band not wanting him back?

Doctor J

The former.

It's a great big ****ing mess and a damn shame because Bush was the right man for the job, but I'll give the new guy a chance before I totally lose interest. WCFYA was one of their best albums, hopefully they can come close to that standard with the new one.

Still no mention of a new guitarist, shame they screwed Caggiano because he was a fantastic player as well as producer.

Caggiano's still in the band. Scott Ian said it was Rob who found the new singer and all. I read today that they're currently writing songs for a new album

Anthrax, only discovering the joys now (for shame I know)

Completely addicted to Madhouse. Temporary favourite song!

Its a pity the band are so disorganised at the moment, or where for the past few months, especially with no vocalist and guitarist. Once they get it all sorted they should be on the road to another brilliant album.

First two have John Bush on vocals, second two have Joey Belladonna. They would be my four favourite Anthrax albums, although I have a major soft spot of Spreading The Disease.

Bush albums, I like em, I prefer john Bush, though i also like Belladonna: attack of the killer Bs, Persistence of time, and among the living.

there's a good John Bush era live dvd as well, and the album "greater of two evils" has bush singing belladonna songs.
