That GUITAR TONE is GLORIOUS!!! First Time Hearing ANTHRAX "I AM THE LAW" - Metal Musician Reacts!!!

[@palladinodessa8988]

Been one of my favs since I heard Metal Thrashing Mad in 84. Unique and thrashy AF!

[@DocRaunchy]

Finally somebody who gets the awesome band that is called Anthrax. Good on you, man.

[@killerbong]

As a 48 yr old metal head it blows my mind that early metal classics are discovered by newer fans. Enjoy.

[@BrandonBames]

As a metal head in his mid-30's it blows my mind that I can still experience classics for the first time! Thanks for stopping by!

[@BroJo617]

As a 48 year old I’m so jealous you get to hear this for the first time!

[@jiquerez]

@@BroJo617 47 year old here... I remember listening to _I'm the law_ for the first time on cheap walkman headphones back in the day.

[@NoLightOnlyHope]

Dark Angel - Pains Invention Madness. A band that wrote one of thrashs most powerful albums - Time Does Not Heal. You will LOVE IT!

[@hiddenmask529]

Never seen this dude, I love Anthrax though and him just banging his head and shutting up made me happy!

[@broadwaynicky]

I am the law is my favorite song. Whenever I drive behind a cop or near one I have this in my arsenal of metal songs on my playlist and turn it to this full blast.

[@jacobmetz3267]

Brother, check out the tune Among the Living from the album of the same name. Heavy! And if ya want a little backstory on it, it's based on Stephen King's incredible novel The Stand! One of my favorite Anthrax tunes!!

[@SteveCoronado2]

I forgot how fast the solo was. Love Anthrax since the beginning. I was confused a bit by the video because if memory serves (it might not) the song came out way before the Stallone movie. And I didn’t think it was part of. 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻

[@PaulGuy]

Spreading the Disease, Among the Living, and Persistence of Time all have a ton of killer songs. Sound of White Noise is when John Bush debuts as the new vocalist, and there's a shift in musical style as well, though not bad by any degree. Stomp 442 and Volume 8 are more classic Anthrax sound, and are still great overall.

[@jon-pauldupont5746]

Worship Music was also a great album IMO

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

[@jeremymiller7793]

State of Euphoria is a great album, also.

[@LudusAurea]

Don’t forget euphoria

[@badguyrob6666]

Spreading the Disease is my favorite Anthrax album start to finish. A.I.R and Lone Justice are good picks. I also love the Persistence of Time album, Belly of the beast, Keep it in the family, and In my world are great choices. FYI the last two albums, Worship Music and For All Kings are epic. Do Devil that you know and Breathing Lightning.

Death Angel-Seemingly endless time, Suicidal Tendencies-Emotion 13 and Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells, Sacred Reich - the American way...Mr Bungle has a new album out which is more 80's thrash than 80's thrash from what I've heard so far.

[@BrandonBames]

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve been meaning to check out older Sepultura and SD for a LONG time now!

[@duncansolloway2497]

the "new" MR BUNGLE is actually them replaying their 1st album because the original was recorded so poorly back in the 80s-i actually saw them perform in san fran 2 yrs ago in support of that SCOTT IAN and DAVE LOMBARDO playing w/MIKE PATTON was sick !!

For Anthrax anything off the Among the Living album is gold. The album State of Euphoria is great with songs like Be All, End All and Antisocial. A.I.R. off their second album is fantastic. I’m the Man is a novelty rap song but it’s very entertaining as well. You need to check out Flotsam and Jetsam. Jason Newsted founded them before he joined Metallica. They’re the next best band after the big four, along with Exodus, Testament, and Nuclear Assault. F & J songs like Hammerhead, Dreams of Death, She Took An Axe, and Der Fuhrer are absolute classics.

[@BrandonBames]

Awesome! You’re actually the first person that’s mentioned F&J to me outside of a Behind The Music, I’m DEFINITELY adding them to the list. Newstead took on an impossible task - picking up after Cliff Burton, and absolutely killed it while bringing his own style to the mix. I wasn’t that into Echobrain but I’m excited to check out other stuff he’s been involved with!

[@gvehar]

F & J’s first album Doomsday For the Deceiver is great, it’s an epic journey. They remixed the album for one of its anniversaries and I actually liked the remix better. The drums kick way more… but the original is fine as well.

[@obgyn_kanobi3647]

Scott Ian (most of anthrax tbh) was in S.O.D. (Stormtroopers of Death) back in the 80's give "speak English or die" a listen oh wait check out M.O.D. (Method of Destruction) as well.

[@JoDdy420-]

When I am the law came out I was already out of high school a few years and a well-seasoned Metalhead Thrasher. This tune fucking rocks!! My fav Anthrax tune by far!!

Love your shirt..white zombie is amazing

[@1rexrex]

If music had a family tree. Anthrax would have started its own branch. You can definitely hear them still in modern struff cuz its in their DNA now. All of their early albums are good. You really only need their greatest hits album and Attack of the Killer B's to have all you need.

[@jima6545]

This was off Among the Living. Every single track is awesome. Another band many don't know is Candlemass, one of the first doom metal bands. Check out At the Gallows End, Samarithan, and Dark are The Veils of Death.

@@BrandonBames they always had great singers but Messiah Marcolin was my favorite.

[@SargNickFury]

If you dig this kinda driving riff, You need to check out the first two song off of SOD's "Speak Enligish or die album" the two songs can not be separated in my mind one bleeds into the other. SOD has several of the early Anthrax members and is kinda a Anthrax reunion. The songs are "March of the S.O.D." and "Sargent D and the S.O.D." Also this album is like Thrash anthem material.

[@BrandonBames]

Thanks man, been meaning to check out SOD for a long time, I’ll add em to the list for sure!

Thrash was a great time to be alive, it was new and unique and like you said, it just makes you go mental - but in a good way. Slayer was my fav hands down. The music was full of angst and rage, but it wasn't evil, it was a perfect release. Then Pantera hit the scene... 🤘

Frankie's Bass Tone is Epic, (Up there with Dave Ellefson (Megadeth)) Great Track but INDIANS is THE Iconic, Epic track from this album. Scott's Rhythm just masterful, sadly (my own opinion) Dan Spitz leads on all tracks. (meh) never rated his solo's whatsoever. Charlie's Drumming is Phenomenal and Joey just owns it :)... as Sharon Osbourne stated Ozzy will only tour with Anthrax again if Joey is the lead Vocalist :)
