Scott Ian of Anthrax talks Bring the Noise

"December of 1977, I saw Kiss at Madison Square Garden, and I can pretty safely say that I left the show that night knowing and understanding that I was going to be in a band. There was nothing else." Founding member of Anthrax Scott Ian recalls the definitive moment in his life when he knew music was his future.

I was in the military when this came out an this song helped to bridge a gap between african american and white soldiers in my unit. We worked hard to be a tight unit but music was a big issue til then. Its like it helped the most stubborn dudes in my unit figure it out. It meant a lot for us.

[@mikeholton3914]

IKR? same!

[@grinchoi1]

One of the hardest songs of all time. Anthrax and PE a perfect match.

[@aquaferme1346]

This band is historically important for that move... hard to even count the amount of metal fans that took a better look at rap after that colab.

[@sullybiker6520]

Right? And then you had Bodycount too. I remember these crossovers being a very new and big thing for the metal scene.

[@aquaferme1346]

@@sullybiker6520 I remember a long long time ago in a pawn shop as a teen I baught a anthrax cassette, I bring it home and inside was the wrong cassette.... it was a public enemy tape.... At the time I was pissed... what the hell ... rap tape ?... I was not in on the interraction, but it probably came from the former owner listening to the albums of both groups and the tapes got mixed up or something.

[@soloparaplaystation6624]

Rage against machine was influced to make his first album thanks for their. The nu metal is rap plus metal or viceversa.

The soundtrack for 'Judgement Night' was off the hook. Artists like Slayer, Helmet, Biohazard, Living Colour, Faith No More were collaborating with people like Ice T, Cypress Hill, Run DMC, House of Pain, etc. It was awesome!

[@hairynews8348]

Hey Limp, Korn and all those Nu Metal bands. Thank Anthrax and Public Enemy!

Its so freakin cool that they did this amd im glad they got together to do the song because i absolutely freakin love it...its a good work out song its just good..no its not good its fuckin awesome

[@hootyhaha]

I LOVE Decades and these little clips yall air in between the TV shows. I wish I would have caught this on TV, I watch the channel all the time. Yall should play this again just for me. LOL!

I was ten and still rock that song man!! Killer Bees was amazing

[@andreaslach691]

One big time in history. At least in my personal hystory. 💪🏼❤️👍🏼💯

[@someguysomewhere100]

People forget just how important this song was, it really was the catalyst for a ‘watershed’ moment to break silos in fans taste in music. After that, every other genre crossing band came through.

[@claytonbouldin9381]

Waaaay way back in high school I along with my friends were metal heads. I was an anomaly because I listened to rap and truly liked it. Of course, my friends made fun of me for listening to rap, but I really didn't care. I bought "Attack of the Killer B's" when it was released and kept playing "Bring The Noise" over and over. My friends loved "Starting Up A Posse" and just blasted my song when I was driving by myself.

[@aakla]

I remember the story back in the day is that Ian and Chuck D both grew up together in queens or something. My childhood was a lie.

[@athlonen]

You'd be right. Chuck D, Ian, and the Beastie Boys were all not that far from each other.

[@kevinscott59]

aakla Anthrax and PE are both from Long Island,New York.(Chuck was born in Queens though.)

Great artist shaved his head and glued it to his chin!

[@mattgraham2835]

that collaboration was so good and the fans especially today would absolutely love hearing that live that would be very powerful thing especially if they went on tour together and did more than just that song and for me i had just bought public enemy it take a nation of millions to hold us back that record was a very guerilla radio album alot like rage against the machine killing in the name of and evil empire i really love battle of los angeles good music for raging against the establishment or for all those it was and still is like a bucking against someone's established order for those folks who weren't sure what it would sound like and if they should even collaborate when i heard the aeroamith run dmc collaboration and then PE and anthrax did their collaboration i said man can we hear more of that so fresh and so clean they understood each other's music so well and weren't afraid to be seen with one another let alone be collaborating on music and that is what harder edgier music like this is supposed to do like minded individuals and all extremely gifted and professional musicians i don't doubt at all that that folks are going to hear much much more of that

[@DarthMohammedRules]

I'm sorry, but you can't give them credit for this and just sweep Run DMC/Aerosmith under the rug. You can't.

[@8thlvlMage]

They can both get credit. This video was about Anthrax and Public Enemy, not Run DMC and Aerosmith. They're irrelevant to the topic. If this were a documentary about metal and rap as a broader topic and they only mentioned Anthrax and Public Enemy then sure you could say they're being swept under the rug. This video isn't about Run and Aero though.
