[@ChrisDoss12]

Anthrax is not punk. Anthrax is the best metal band to come out of the 80’s. There is no Slipknot without Anthrax. Anthrax was also the granddaddies who first started mixing metal and rap. Without Anthrax you’ve got no Limp Bizkit or Lincoln Park or any of the metal rap crossovers. What I’m driving at here, is that Anthrax is the shit!! AND WE REMAIN THE HARDEST EVER!!! NOT!!! NOT!!! NOT!!!

i been saying something similar for years. they are metal to the core, but they also have that fun punk vibe. the bermuda shorts, the not taking themselves too serious. great band

[@drew65sep]

Quintessential "Thrash Metal" band...there's just so much more better material in this band's catalog than what most people would consider as Anthrax's most popular. Definitely worth getting "out of the box" and exploring what they've got to offer. Absolutely deserving of being included in the "Big Four."

[@GMJacobLewis]

This is classic Anthrax with Joey Belladonna doing main vocals. I was big fan back then, but I became an even bigger fan when they brought in Jon Bush as the singer. Their music matured with heavier riffs, a deeper sound, and powerful lyrics. If you revisit the band to see how they progressed (and I hope you do), start with any track off "Sound of White Noise". Any track! (But if you need suggestions, check out "Only", "Room for One More", "Hi Pro Glo", or"This is Not an Exit".)

[@robrand4891]

Dan spitz the lead guitarist on this song is one of the only musicians to have a song written, that was played on Mars. It “woke up” the Mars rover. He’s also a VERY well accomplished watch maker that has earned a Swiss degree and whose watches are very desired among collectors.

Anthrax is an awesome band! I really hope you guys do more reactions to them. They have a huge catalogue! The Persistence Of Time album has hard and heavy bangers like “Time” & “Blood” along with “Discharge” & “In My World”. Their classic Among The Living album released back in 87’ has the classic hits Anthrax is known for like “Caught In A Mosh”, “Indians”. “I Am The Law”. Then in like 2004 they get a new singer and really switch up their sound. It was a cool era, different and produced some great albums like “Sounds Of White Noise” which had hits on it like “Only” (which James Hetfield of Metallica once stated as being the “perfect song”) “Room For one More”, “Black Lodge” and “This Is Not An Exit”. I can go on and on, great band, definitely go down the rabbit hole!

John Bush joined Anthrax in 1992, not 2004. Bush was on four Anthrax albums before leaving. There's some good stuff, but they are way different than the Belladonna era of Anthrax.
