Anthrax - Belly Of The Beast

Music video by Anthrax performing Belly Of The Beast. (C) 1991 The Island Def Jam Music Group

Imagine being the kid at 04:23, thinking "Oh, I'm taking a picture with Scott Ian, this is the best moment of my life" and then realize that you are immortalized in the official music video.

Charlie Benante is without a doubt one of the most underrated drummers in thrash metal, or metal in general. He's my favorite.

[@drymant]

So, according to that reliable opinion poll of "Sean", nobody appreciates Charlie like you do, therefore he must be underrated? Brilliant.

[@Wilder_TheWolf]

@@drymant idk but Charlie is indeed underrated. I think he is the most underrated.

[@grahamjarman]

anthrax is pretty big for metal band, charlie is a huge reason for that.

You're dating yourself. Charlie has received many, many accolades over the years, particularly at the height of thrash in the 90's.

[@jeffo9396]

How in the world is Anthrax underrated, let alone criminally underrated?? They're one of the 'big four', every rock fan knows their music, they've sold many millions of albums, and they're respected by heavy metal critics. Underrated my ass.

[@vompukington4029]

I think they smiled too much in the early days, werent too serious and I think their board shorts turned people off. Stupid reasons no douibt

[@Churro_Flaminguez]

I remember how back in the day we felt as though Anthrax's _Persistence of Time_ was their equivalent to Metallica's _…And Justice for All_ and Megadeth's _Rust in Peace._ As close to an all-around masterpiece album as they could get, and they had already released landmark milestone records.
