[@sws250]

C'mon, he was obviously just kidding

[@willkwon9206]

It was funny as hell though

[@allengreer7776]

It's Bob, Robert Wagoner

[@allengreer7776]

wow that's crazy but it is what it is my brother , Long haul of B's

[@eddrulz]

I remember in High School we were learning about biology and when the teacher was talking about anthrax, she was all, "Next is anthrax. And no, it's not just a heavy metal band." My metalhead classmates and I flashed our horns.

[@MichelJPW]

eddrulz Stop this cringe thanks

[@rileypaterson7117]

eddrulz ew

[@TheMaggot1994]

This would have been a great comment without the last sentence.

[@TheFapFactory]

eddrulz haha badass

[@RefurbishedToad]

YEAH FLASH THOSE HORNS BROOOO METAL FOR LIIIIFEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@zuzepa]

it's like he's interviewing him meanwhile is Scott waiting for a hamburger :D

[@diesel7499]

He probably is 🤣

[@godzillasimpson8357]

He only eats gourmet food from what I heard.

[@AB-ou8ve]

You get real hungry during and after a show.

[@Venombullet666]

Scott: Do you want the title for the new album? Me: *Breathes heavily in excitement* Scott: You can't have it Me: Damnit._.

[@rubberritchie]

Love watching Scott Ian's beard wiggle while he talks.

[@Huntington12345678]

It looks like an Indian arrowhead.

[@BeemWeeks]

"Kiss put me on the path. I didn't ever expect to blow fire or spit blood--that seemed out of reach." CLASSIC!!!! Scot rocks!

[@ViciousFriendlyFish]

It'd be funny if the title for Anthrax's new album actually was "You Can't Have It".

[@duartevgc2114]

+ViciousFriendlyFish I would laugh forever if that's the case! hahahhahaha

[@stephanlandry9406]

That title reminded me of that project Anthrax did with Faith No More.. ..You want it all but you can't have it!..🎵

[@brpadington]

Scott Ian is a cool dude.

[@benedictdonald4338]

yes. EXCEPT for the geigh beard.

[@erickleandro]

I love this wiki fact or fiction idea. It results in extremely interesting interviews! Cheers!

[@adolpholiverbush2]

One of the coolest guys in music. Still love Scott Ian.

[@masterpbk]

"Everything on the internet is true" Scott fucking knows it

[@broman260]

he looks like mr. clean if mr. clean joined a thrash metal band instead of becoming the fictional spokesperson for a soap brand.

[@TheLarryburns84]

i can't unsee that now.

[@jeremynelson5311]

Mr Dirty

[@deathbunnymacfunshine6913]

just coz he's bald?

[@chriskimmel7252]

Did Mr. Clean have facial hair? Not everyone that's bald is mr clean.

[@broman260]

@@chriskimmel7252 if he shaved the beard he'd look just like him. Also this 5 years ago lol just laugh at the joke

[@COBHC8890]

Never had an issue with Kerry King and Scott. Just chill, straight edged, metal dudes.

[@enigmaticbeing7703]

Dave lombardo disagrees

[@SuperStrik9]

Scott Ian rules. Persistence Of TIme is one of the best albums of all time.

[@marc2000z]

STD

[@nergalshagrath6667]

better state of euphoria. When I tried to get into to this album and it didn't inspire because is not iconic. I couldn't rewind the music much but the chorus and the title were good to remember

[@roymartin500]

He did this as long there was no Greg Walls questions.

[@timjames9963]

Greg WHO?

[@lunabranwen]

Exactly. Walls deserves credit

[@TUUK2006]

Scott Ian is a fucking legend. I rediscovered the band after years of not listening at the We've Come For You All time and I pirated the album. Loved it. I went on the Anthrax website back in the early days of the Internet and found an email address. I wrote to say how great the album was and Scott himself answered the email. I went out and bought the album the next day. Years later, I worked in the music industry and had the chance to talk to all the guys in the band and they were as chill as you'd expect. One of the only bands I've had experience of in all my years in the industry and have always been the nicest guys from start to finish.

[@codygranrud6212]

Scott looks like he's taking a pop quiz... and he's kinda pissed he didn't study.

[@marcpledger]

Holy shit, Scott is almost 60 and he’s in Mr Bungle! Best metal album of 2020, rhythm guitarist is almost eligible for the lunch special. What a fucken awesome dude.

[@MarkMarxonsBassChannel]

Thanks Loud wire !!! You guys ALWAYS deliver killer interviews... N how cool is Scott Ian ;)

[@jeremysimpson2476]

Scott's book is excellent. Highly recommended.

[@Avexyli]

Wow that beard makes him look alot older.

[@rubberritchie]

But it distracts nicely from his bald head.

[@MrGuitarWhisperer]

I thought it was the age that made him look a lot older.

[@marcusmatamua4213]

Rubber Ritchie Hahahhahahha, shot bro.Made my night

[@rubberritchie]

Marcus Matamua Haha! :)

[@mrnoitautis7262]

A lot older than what? He was fifty in this video, thats usually when people go grey you idiot

[@justahusk8151]

Would be fun if the album title was "You can't have it".

[@dimiaraujo90]

One of coolest and nicest dudes in all of Metal or Rock World.

[@doodoodan]

Really? I've always heard that he was a dick

[@ninemile57]

Scott Ian has to be one of the best musical minds in all of thrash metal

[@rebelrooster7723]

Thanx to his drummer writing all the riffs for him😂😂 that dude is a biter

[@BegetterVIIEVEN]

Oh really?

[@user-jq7oq1is3r]

Yeah no he’s not, he’s a rock historian that plays basic guitar and love attention lol

[@tickedoffnow]

I Love Anthrax and Scott Ian, there should be a biopic about their lives

[@AJMIckna2010]

Scott Ian: "Everything on the Internet is true." Thank you Mr. Ian, I've been saying this for years... No one believes me though, because it wasn't on the internet, now that it is, it must be true...

[@TheDefeatest]

Pick up his audio book narrated by him! Such a great story and listen. His humor is great comes off great in the book!

[@SonjaBlade608]

Thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna check it out!! 🤘😃

[@slowtaknow]

No questions about Greg walls? I was led here from his video expecting some counter answers.

[@bryancooper5495]

I hung out with Danny L at studio 7 in Seattle.

[@JBmusicart]

The ramones were every american hardcore band's influence. Because they were reachable. Literally, the story goes that the Ramones used to play shows in dives across the country and in each town influenced at least one band to begin...

[@garyv2498]

Love ya Scott... and Only is a perfect song :)

[@deathrider7]

Scott Ian is an absolute legend.

[@AvianSavara]

Even today The Sound of White Noise is still my reference album for introducing any of my friends to Anthrax

[@adanacman666]

down to earth ,self effacing,humble,with a great sense of humor, we cannot b talking bout a rock star

[@mandoschMUh]

Scott is such a chilled and nice dude...I first saw him in an interview with BangerTV in the history of metal.

[@DavidB-rx3km]

I met Scott at Ozzfest 2000 in Milton Keynes. He was just walking into the festival through the gates like everyone else!

[@mtrich8113]

Right on Scott!!! and thank you for breaking down the barrier between Rock and rap (even though Run DMC and Aerosmith was first) and if you read this I'm sorry I haven't seen any of your shows lately but please come out and play sometime like the warrior Anthrax come out and play!!!

[@tommyt1971]

Only got to see Anthrax for the first time when they opened for Slayer in 2018 but I still wish I'd gotten to see them in a small club back when I was in college. Saw a lot of bands like that back then.

[@mysticalw0mbat972]

Scott: What's up? I'm Scott Ian from Anthrax, and- DIE HARD ANTHRAX FAN: AND I'M THE MAN!!!

[@sonusworld5357]

One of Thrash Metal’s Greatest Riff Players 🤘🤘

[@corrado]

almost broke my fucking ear drum at the start of this video... Adjust your levels, Loudwire... Even that shit out... Damn!

[@russellflagg8519]

I've seen Anthrax 3 times and every time Scott has spoken to me from the stage in between songs. Obviously because I have my old Anthrax license plate in my hand. Autographed by the whole band way back in 2003.

[@hommartinez3034]

My favorite band big fan watching all your show

[@jimi5404]

Nice interview... Learned a few new things

[@dadadruma]

I know his brother Jason very well he is one of my most trusted friends, He is a Mindbending drummer

[@XCenturionX]

Who's Greg Walls?

[@stavrosmaiden]

He is wonderful

[@TheShepster80]

Scott has a squirrel on his chin!!!

[@wightangel]

Scott Ian is an absolute legend. Love to buy the drink one day.

[@metaloutlawguts2853]

Nice Amon Amarth shirt and awesome interview!!!

[@THE1REALJP]

Surprised there were no questions about Dan Spitz in either Scott's or Frank's interview.

[@DocHackenbush]

"You can't have it!" would be a great title for an album. Just for this particular question...

[@punkrockmartian]

Can some explain to me with out throwing insults, with just fact why people are calling Scott Ian an asshole ?

[@zachgilm]

He was kind of a dick back in the day.

[@punkrockmartian]

in what way ?

[@007KrausBean]

Vesania Everyone was an asshole back in the day and then we all grow up! Haters gonna hate.

[@jamiecase7091]

jackdaniel holt-ellison I have no Idea. Scott seems like the nicest guy ever and is totally metal. An absolute legend and one of my idols

[@chevychiss]

Croz 1007 jackdaniel holt-ellison i havent seen one video where scott ians being a dick... always liked him

[@WrathUponEden]

Love this!

[@husk6963]

When they say Scott Ian I always understand Scotty.

[@Dead-Eye]

Chuck D calls him Scotty.

[@rebelguy9487]

Play that thing there Scotty! -Joey Belladonna "Starting Up A Posse"

[@melgibsonfan9082]

Scott Ian and Dave Attell look alot alike

[@theguitarczar]

"Finale" is the perfect metal song imo.

[@factotum218]

lol any time I feel like watching musician interviews it starts with these fact or fictions. why not!

[@BuayaGuy]

That's interesting that James told him that Only was a perfect song...for the LONGEST time, I could've sworn that was James singing backing vocals, and was just uncredited...

[@joost6994]

Anthrax is such an underrated band in my opinion. Apart from Slayer the best of the Big 4, definitely in my top 5 bands of all time. Along with Pantera, Slayer, Slipknot and Iron Maiden.

[@TheTheeggmann]

That's cool with the Lobo thing. My buddy if fully tatted with Lobo shit. He has the dwarfs fighting the snowmonster on his entire back, all done in white and blue ink.

[@m2pmd70]

I don't think it's a coincidence that you never see Scott Ian and Dave Attell in the same room...

[@amitten]

I think the John Bush era is extremely underrated.

[@MrMegaFredZeppelin]

Scott Ian RULES!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!

[@powermetal26]

What about Greg Walls the original guitarist who wrote the entire first album and got ZERO credit for it?

[@rushton84]

Awesome guy

[@JS45678]

Very intelligent well spoken man. It’s also amazing how many of these cats on Loudwire were initially influenced to pick up an instrument bc of KISS. 🤘😝🤘

[@lolbored801]

Considering KISS is just a shitty circus clown band.

[@bobjames1992]

This interviewer always says that The answers given to his wikipedia questions are mostly wrong at the start. Then they turn out to be mostly right. WTF?

[@lorenzo_contini_7]

What a nice guy

[@mazakman1]

4:51 Scott Ian is "The Metal God"

[@OhVicanne]

Was so excited then Scott said "You cant have it.." COME ON SCOTT

[@doug941]

Scott Ian is a class act! Anthrax 4life! \m/

[@evilchaosboy]

He seems like a pretty nice fellow! \m/

[@JasonL77]

I’d love to see one of these with James Hetfield and/or Lars Ulrich.

[@Ageallean1]

Only is a perfect song. The Sound of White Noise is an amazing album too. I mish John Bush.

[@CHILDRENATPLAY2010]

James is right, literally just listened to it. Fucking amazing

[@fredlivingston3766]

Always a cool dude

[@bobbymorrell1926]

No mention of Greg walls...

[@MarcusAsenlund]

Pov: you are hear because you want to hear Scott talking about S.O.D and M.O.D

[@octavalexandru1830]

i think scott was like: "oh, i can't grow hait on my head. fine, i'll grow it on my face"

[@davidnissim589]

He had long hair in the 80's

[@onpsxmember]

Holy shit. Is it the lense or was that during gruhamet's boozing years? He's got a head as wide as Norm's here.

[@ThompterSHunson]

He has the most rectangular eyebrows I ever saw in my life.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

Is there a music documentary Scott Ian is NOT on?

[@civilmetimbers5636]

I wanna see the Sergeant D comics!

[@stinkypink72]

I would like to know that first introduction meeting Mr. Meatloaf for the first time went. Mr.Meatloaf and Mr. Scott both hit the scale on both being cool person as well as bad asses in the music tree.

[@khamachess]

And yes, "Only" is the perfect song.

[@akatsukijonny]

The damned things needs a comebackkkkk get the dudes back outta FoB and make it happen one of my favorite rock albums from those years hands down

[@badgoodweather]

I want the title to the album...

[@protectchildrenatallcosts2652]

The only New Yorker I dearly love.

[@guzzi73]

Just a nice guy ...

[@thatoldschoolvolvoguy5012]

My future mother in law went to school with Joey in his home town of oswego ny.

[@ounman]

Scott Ian makes me want to be bald

[@claudiocruzat4768]

hair regulates body temperature, besideS its like a frame for the face..

[@claudiocruzat4768]

+Tan razor for scott ian's beard? i barely wear moustache , and chin beard. my crowded stadium isnt crowded,..but any way, y used to shave my head but i dont like it.

[@ounman]

+Tan i have shaved my dome once and it looked alright. Im slowly losing hair anyways, thanks dad :D

[@claudiocruzat4768]

me the same xD

[@supportthebandsstopfakecop1679]

Kert only some people can pull it off. I did it for a few years, when I had my driver's license picture taken, it looks like I was just released from prison.

[@shlomok9731]

Why didn't he ask him the obvious follow up? Why did he drop his last name?

[@eliallday532]

loudwire you should do one on Dan liker

[@kotakidd2653]

I remember I did a report on Anthrax for health class

[@yamraaj4529]

❤❤❤❤

[@jtlemay4878]

Fuck yeah killer interview

[@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825]

"Only" is the "Surrender" of Heavy Metal

[@supportthebandsstopfakecop1679]

Just have to put this in here....bet it gets a ton of thumbs down. But my favorite Anthrax Album is "The Sound of White Noise.". Although I have been a fan since "Among the Living", that album was just one that I played non-stop that year.

[@627jace627]

It's a great album & definitely the best of the Bush era.

[@shanebeightol2327]

my 2nd favorite album, for the albums I've heard, and I'll admit I havent heard them all YET....

[@garyv2498]

'Only' is a perfect song. Why is that questioned?
