AbstractMan23 Thanks!

[@stevennemeth6256]

"Among the Living" is one of my all time favorite metal albums. And when you throw in the Hip Hop crossover "I'm the Man" EP you really saw their fun and goofball personalities shine through. They were just guys having fun playing face melting metal.

[@davidphillips9726]

Anthrax is the band that converted me to a metal head. I was stuck on my parents' music. Not a complaint, my parents both had fucking GREAT taste in music, but, I was massively into Stephen King, and a friend who had been trying to push metal on me, gave me Among the Living, told me the title track is based on The Stand ... then, I found that there were TWO songs based on King books on that album, and the riffs, the lyrics, the solos, the energy, it all just fucking converted me. I'll FOREVER be grateful for Anthrax for introducing a whole new world of music to me

[@kennypemberton1350]

Anthrax will always be my favorite band

[@creamysauce7966]

Mine too

[@brianherald5756]

One of the best drummers

[@jasondorst13]

Frank and Scott do the best backup vocals. They sound like 20 dudes.

[@Kriterian]

Yeah I came here to say that. That was fucking epic.

[@NeverFearStudios]

I'd love a longer version of this where we get to actually see what went on in the recording session. For those of us that couldn't journey there for it, even a little bit would be great.

[@ncmetalmusic]

The only east coast big 4 band and they have a sound, image, and lyrical content that sets then a little bit apart from the other 3. To me they are the most pure thrash of the 4 and the punk and hardcore influences come through way more than with the other 3.

[@massimopescatori6514]

Great band, great men ... ANTHRAX !

[@nikoss0808]

I love this band

[@makrocker1000]

I want back Dan!!!

[@itsglen9646]

Like Scott was saying, their wearing shorts and smiling- I like that about Anthrax. They were/are about having fun. All the other thrash bands can be as serious as they need to be, that's fine, but not very original.

[@cuzned1375]

Yep. They’re just some dudes that happen to make awesome metal. They don’t have an image or a look, they just go out and kick ass. 🤘😖🤘

[@bryanfreese5155]

Fuckin love these guys,fan for 35 years! Hurry up and put out another album damnit!!🤟🤟

[@danawhite9823]

I would loooooove to see this session get released to buy.

[@chriskrausesmovie]

omfg me tooooo

[@toddmichaelis7592]

I agree with the previous comments about the sound being crisp. Enjoyed the behind the scenes interviews. Keep it up!

[@Defleshuary]

Charlie forever one of the best.

[@jasong546]

Love ya guys from the beginning!

[@brandocalrissian3294]

I started off in music by playing trombone in the jazz band at school then moved to bass and drums. Anthrax was a big factor in me moving to bass and drums.

[@tashafreese2082]

Anthrax are my Beatles, and that's a bold statement. For real.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

These recordings are amazing and Anthrax should make their next record at Sweetwater with whoever is engineering these sessions. Reminds me of the clean, live sound of "Greater of Two Evils". Love it. Keep it real.

[@markhornsby5902]

WhyTheHorseface Thank you!

[@murrayc9615]

Nice to hear Jon Donais get to talk . He kinda reminds me of Denis "Piggy" D'Amour from Voivod

[@dowens3781]

Because he's chubby? Lol

[@bryanfreese5155]

My all time favorite band since "87" just saw them up here in Minneapolis in August with BLS and Hatebreed. I totally related to these guys early on for our love of Stephen King and comics. Mosh it up fuckers, and come out with a new album already,it's been six years now fellas 🤟🤟😜😜

[@jesscarrow6044]

You sir, Scott. And the rest of who made up Anthrax, Charlie, Joey, Frank were and always will be just bad fucking ass!!! 💪💣💨 Rock on Brothers, Rock on

[@dowens3781]

I want to record at this studio 😎

[@SandboxBullies]

Fucken love Anthrax since the first time I seen them. (Robbie Bell)

[@sretePtraB]

I do miss Spitz sometimes.

[@dowens3781]

Always.

[@creamysauce7966]

Still waiting for him to rejoin..

[@cuzned1375]

10:40 Something awesome about the whole band thrashing, while Joey takes a swig of what i’ve decided for no reason is chocolate milk.

[@sweetwater]

🤣🤣🤣

[@AbstractMan23]

10:39

[@makrocker1000]

Benante, Bello, Belladonna.... The italo-americans thrash metal crew

[@zeketrick]

I wore a Anthrax t shirt for picture day in 87. For hi Sckool

[@SolidDuke77]

Jon is a great guitar player but I don't think I've ever seen such a lack of chemistry in a band of that caliber, he just seems like a fish out of water with these guys.

[@Jept]

It is odd to me ... I always get the lackluster session player vibe from him. But I don't know if that's because the core of the band is so tight and inline? But totally feel ya dude!

[@abyers7087ify]

To me there will always be one anthrax. Joey Belladonna is the secret ingredient. The Bush days were good but I love EVERY album other Joey and only love we've come for you all with Bush. The other albums he did are meh for me.

[@coryintexity408]

Metallica keeps trying, Anthrax shows how it's done. Gotta say, Madhouse was missing Mark (I meant Dan, don't ask me) As do we all, I'm sure. Keep killing it guys, been with ya since 86, was so glad to hear Worship Music.

[@dowens3781]

Mark?

[@Fresh_I.S.C.]

more of this and less of everything else please.

[@perrykeith632]

P

[@elliehope266]

They are thrash always have been i don't like that one of the guitarist called then heavy metal

[@basildog007]

I personally prefer the John Bush era. More modern.

[@stevennemeth6256]

The Sound of White Noise is a solid album and "Only" is one of my favorite Anthrax songs, but it just felt like a whole different band.

[@headtoheadsw]

@@stevennemeth6256 Agreed! I love the Bush era, but it's not Anthrax.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

I much prefer the second coming of the Joey era over any era. They are tighter than ever. Their songs sound modern and classic at the same time. It's a blend of 40 years of Anthrax. The last two albums, to me is a double album, and it's a masterpiece. I love every song on them. I don't feel that way about any Anthrax album other than Among the Living.

[@matts8708]

Guitar solo was kinda lame. Spitz ain't even that great, but this dudes solo was blah. Good chords behind that solo sections too, could have done more with it.

[@creamysauce7966]

Spitz solos were fcking great wdym

[@joeblitz6412]

Without Joey and Charlie there is no band

[@williamboyle8918]

Without Frank and Scott there is no band

[@creamysauce7966]

Without Danny it’s not real Anthrax
