Anthrax - I Am The Law (Live 1987)

[@flobwad]

Frank is a seriously underrated bassist.

[@richarddaniel9947]

jeremy.avi I agree

[@jmlm5479]

Scott, Charlie and Joey are underrated too

[@claytong2018]

Anthrax as a whole is an underrated band

[@pasqualz]

This comment is underrated

[@vapordreams983]

He's up there with Newsted, Cliff, and Ellefson imo.

[@jermaineguillory2694]

Anthrax are one of the greatest thrash metal bands of all time 🤘

[@martinmartin5270]

just saw it live again....nearly forty years later....better than ever....Belladonna's vocals still like at that time...all of them: unbelievable

[@big4skol83]

Scott Ian Rosenfeld-Rhythm Guitar Charlie Benante-Drums Frank Bello-Bass Joey Belladonna-Vocals Dan Spitz-Lead Guitar Sorry, but this is Anthrax’s TRUE lineup!

[@unknownsIays]

Ben Arneson all original but dan holy shit!

[@djek1976]

True

[@WarrantDownboys]

Danny spitz RULES!!!🤘🏻

[@249sawgnr4]

How can they have two JUDGE DREDD movies and this song not be in either one!?!?!?!?

[@matthewvoss7365]

That’s fucked up. My guess would’ve the same reason no metal band ever played at the super bowl. Metal isn’t mainstream.

[@davecooley2675]

That is definitely a crime.

[@troyskillman5397]

Ian said when they wrote the song it was based of the comic book not the movies

[@249sawgnr4]

@@troyskillman5397 understood but still not using the song in either movie is a crime

[@garycook3512]

Anthrax is underrated best of the big four. In my opinion

[@valerian8999]

I think the issue is Anthrax are the ones who didn’t restrict themselves to Thrash, playing classic metal, speed metal, /inventing/ rap metal with I’m the Man, etc. They are the most musically diverse of the Big 4 and so they can’t be as poster boy as the other 3.

[@michelleumphrey9837]

48 years old. Saw them for the first time when I was 15. Loved that show!!!!!!

[@russburns4441]

I just turned 50, I saw them this passed Jan, first time I saw em was in the 80s and countless times in between. We had the best everything growing up

[@M.a.t.t.m.a.n]

This song was so undermixed on their studio LP. When I heared the live version of it I was blown away by the drums. And not to forget the Public Enemy shirt Scott is wearing. Shirts weared by bands where so important back in those days without internet.

[@fishbone3333]

You are so right. Among the Living is arguably Anthrax's best album but Charlie Benante got screwed, as the drumsa sounded like they were in a different room. Total miss on the production team.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

I think Joey's voice and them never taking themselves too seriously is what made anthrax the better of the "big 4" bands.

[@nickcoles9246]

And Charlie's drumming 😄

[@kevinrodriguez9701]

Can’t forget frank bello working that bass

[@nickcoles9246]

Fuck it, should add Dan and Scott aswell 😆

[@tarkusepitaph5549]

Most underrated band ever. ANTHRAX ROCKS!

[@IamTHEsuperGAME]

Il Sodale Metallico. That's right, despite the fact, that they are in the "Big Four"

[@metalheadlazz]

Yea I'm really not sure where you're getting underrated from.....they're literally on the levels of Metallica,Slayer,and Megadeth known as the "Big Four"

[@muhdfaris2517]

ILYA ORLOV exactly

[@amirhope2559]

3 decades later they're still rockin!

[@jongregory8554]

Maybe OP means Anthrax should be on its own level.

[@broadwaynicky]

I am 19 and I am in love with Anthrax now more than ever. One of the formative bands my dad introduced me to.

[@animalcol1]

Your dad has good taste!! 👍💪🤘

[@meatjuice9081]

Funny, I'm also 19 and find myself loving Anthrax more and more. Shame that for the longest time I never bothered listening to them because I thought they were a "loser" band

[@throwback_kid_84]

Thank you Public Enemy for introducing me to Anthrax! Frank Bello kills it on bass. His tone is killer.

[@gwts1171]

Some people break Anthrax down to eras by singer - I do it by Scott's hair and beard.

[@Justanotherdepressedpieceof]

That's the law.

[@aarorissanen930]

I Am the Law is basically a perfect thrash song. All of the riffs blow your head clean off... fuck.

[@LaurieValdez-zk3dy]

GOD Bless Always Thank you very much Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸

[@nickalexander7189]

Frank can play bass and mosh at the same time what a legend

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Frank is a seriously under rated singer, he can really sing, look up some of the solo stuff he's written, don't expect to hear anthrax, but you get to hear just how good his voice is.

[@guitarforall]

his vocals on ‘’make me laugh’ are very good

[@nickcoles9246]

Not heard any solo stuff but he is awesome on I am the Man. Also pairs up really well with Joey.

[@lucianacardoso5342]

I was many years without hear anthrax, now I m addicted again! Amazing band! Long live

[@kevinrodriguez9701]

If you ever get a chance to see them live do not miss them, the energy and performance they bring is amazing.

I remember getting the VHS of this tour, I had to order it in to the local record shop that didn't really sell anything heavier than the scorpions, I remember putting on the TV when I got in and it was the best and fastest thing I had ever heard at that point, I still have that VHS cassette.

Scott ian has the coolest stage presence in metal history . Always tried to imitate his moves

They need to re release this concert on DVD or something. I had this back in the day in VHS. It fucking rules!

Anthrax IS STILL THE LAW!!!

Nottingham Rock City 1987 - lost my shoe! what a gig.

[@groovefiend25]

the best of the four.

[@Zack_Euler]

nah

[@groovefiend25]

@@Zack_Euler consistent discography, both singers were good and matched the band the times they were in it, has fun/goofy and serious songs, one of the first metal bands to incorporate rap in their music that wasnt shit, none of the members are assholes and stop shows to rant about shit (megadeth), doesnt take themselves too seriously (slayer mainly kerry king), and they still perform at a high energy and theyre shows are still "metal" shows where you can mosh and its encouraged (metallica)

[@Zack_Euler]

@@groovefiend25 u can still mosh at Metallica concerts, yeah the pumped out some pussy shit mid 90s to the early 00s but their first 5 albums are still fantastic

[@groovefiend25]

@@Zack_Euler thats true for the albums. and ive never seen a pit in any recent metallica live shows on here but i could be wrong in my statement. i will say one thing i forgot to mention was anthrax shows are affordable at least to the 3 i went to. only paid $40 where metallica shows are very expensive if you want good seat or to be in the pit id imagine. and i wouldnt wanna be in a seat at a metallica show

[@Zack_Euler]

@@groovefiend25 thats very true, the tickets i had for a decent seating in August in Buffalo were pretty expensive lmfao, but I also saw a few moshes around me, they werent anything like they used to be but i still love em

NFV what an awesome video. Still got my vhs cassette of this. KISS tshirt made my day. Met the band at the petrol(gas) station I worked at over 30 years ago, when I couldn't get time off to see the gig in Manchester UK, tour bus needed fuel and they all came in to say hello to a fan. What a great bunch of guys. One of my happiest memories. Thanks guys

Talk about a dream come true. You couldn’t see them because your workplace is shorthanded so they miraculously show up to see you.
