Anthrax - Among The Living (Live) | Reaction

[@annahanguiano8931]

Chile metal fans are legends 🤘

[@hammer159]

Chile don’t mess around. Respect ⚔️

[@joecat70]

Had to give you the Live From Chile version because the crowd shows why this is a big 4 band. The thing about Anthrax is they don’t have the angry sound and overtones of other thrash bands, it’s more of a fun sound. This is the band that for me into thrash because they did not have all that anger and made it accessible to my taste in music at the time. They in turn got me into Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Overkill, etc. First thrash show I went to Anthrax and Testament, both Amazing live bands and now I officially became a thrash fan. Years later had the opportunity to promote an Anthrax show with the Mistfits (Awesome show), found out they were just some of the coolest most chill guys out there. After the show I had to drive them back to their hotel which was only a couple of minutes away. My car was a Mercury Capri convertible at the time, just slightly bigger than a Mazda Miata with a half back seat. I told them I would make 2 trips for them, they all just piled in my tiny car, with the top on cause it was raining and we’re just easy going and funny. So for all those out there that don’t get why they are big 4, they were the introduction to thrash for millions in the 80’s. I’m The Man and Bring the Noise both getting played on Headbanggers Ball and Yo MTV Raps. Introduced a whole new audience to thrash, and it wasn’t a marketing ploy, it’s just who these guys were. They didn’t need to be the heaviest, angriest band they just did what they did.

[@jasono20001]

They were also my intro into thrash. And for that they will always have a special place.🤘🏻

[@evancalvert7593]

well put 🤘

[@jon21770]

Just listen to that whole album. A masterpiece!

[@deadlyredly1]

agreed

[@petertapola8097]

Yeah, it's the epitome of thrash metal. If you don't mosh to that, you ain't got a pulse.

[@KingsFanForever]

I 100% agree! Among the Living is Anthrax's masterpiece album, just like Master of Puppets is Metallica's masterpiece, and Rust in Peace is Megadeth's masterpiece.

[@ThrobbingChomboni]

Agreed!! Agreed!!! I had pretty much started to listen to only Oi and Punk, NYHC at the point this album came out , BUT it was Anthrax and after one listen it becomes one of those albums that was so musically good,hard hitting that I always have had a copy of it in my collection in one form or another. No disrespect to John Bush ( I was on Armored Saint before anybody else in my high school were when March of the Saint came out)........yeah, no disrespect to John Bush ,but I'm a Joey Belladonna fan and this album was great start to finish. I Am the Law and Caught In A Mosh all that stuff still rages soooooooooooooo hard all these years later.

[@cesarsotomansilla5802]

IN CHILE WE LOVE ANTHRAX

[@longbeach7623]

Argentina, Brazil, Chile have the best hard rock/metal fans in the world.

[@cerf-volant6800]

By alphabetic order, you are right. The sugestion order could be it: Brasil, Chile, Argentina. But the real order on numbers is Brazil, Chile, Colombia. (Argentina can't be included on the bigs 3) Greerings fron North East of the middle of the world.

[@catmanduu66]

Dude had a road flare in the pit. That's hardcore LOL.

[@ryancooper2706]

In Chile 🇨🇱 it's standard, search videos from "indians- anthrax in Chile" or "Flag of hate - Kreator in the Chile metalfest 2023"

[@TrueMetalGaming]

Can't be prouder to be a Chilean. Glad you did this live version I believe I also requested in the past.

[@CantSleepWithoutZopiclone]

Somos el mejor país de Chile!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@robertg7396]

"Hey, did you hear that Night Ranger passed away?" "Oh, what happened?" "They were poisoned by Anthrax". 😂

[@rodrigop283]

The Chilean public is the craziest in the world 🤘🏻🍺🇨🇱😂

[@luciano9520]

In Chile we love anthrax 🤘, state of euphoria it's a really good album bro, give them a chance 🤘🤘

[@tammiec4937]

This is fire🔥🔥🔥

[@annabulgariu3707]

This is easily one of the best thrash metal albums ever listen... and ive listened to a buuunch of thrash metal... masterpiece album

[@wompa70]

"Among the Living" is by far my favorite Anthrax album. It has so much to say. And the music is THRASHING! From "Caught In A Mosh" (Think) before you speak Or suffer for your words (Learn) to give respect That others give to you Ah, the best you can do

[@CantSleepWithoutZopiclone]

I have been there! I'm a woman, 150 cms, hahaha I ended with every cell of my body in pain one entire week after 🤣🤣 worth it 🤘🏻

[@thisismescotthathawayistha4071]

Anthrax is amazing especially live...

[@educg3447]

Anthrax - Chile on hell 🤟🏻

[@metalmark1214]

Man, I have to say Night Ranger is heavier than I remember. Maybe they threw away their hairspray cans.😂

[@racing2cat]

Whew @MetalMark - thought it was just me!

[@bernardovera611]

Chile, argentina y Brasil los mejores publicos del mundo y estuve ahí 🤘🏼

[@kalelvolao23]

nop, Chile, Colombia y Brazil. Argenfemboy puro Taylor Swift y cumbia villera.

[@APaganPerspective]

Joey and Scott loved this show

[@NapalmWeed]

Belly of the Beast - Anthrax I think one of their best written and played songs, it has everything.

[@philipspinks1901]

Epic song! It’s based of The Stand by Stephen King. Gung-Ho is just pure Anthrax thrash!🤘

[@jasonjtd79dunne88]

Anthrax is thrash but heavily influenced by punk/hardcore scenes and they kind of bridge the gap between punk and metal and they are the East coast (NYC) representative of the thrash scene. The other members of the Big 4 are rooted in California so their influences vary a bit. Compared to the rest of the thrash scene. They were early supporters of hip hop Scott always wore the Public Enemy shirts. I have seen them 4 times through the years twice with Joey Belladonna singing and twice with John Bush on vocals. John Bush is best known for his work with. Another thrash titan Armored Saint.

[@mrbushwookie6051]

Anthrax is a lot more "punky" then the other big 4 members. Scott ian is one of the most underapreciated metal guitarists ever.

[@christophneumann112]

There is nothing like an Anthrax live show. I've seen them repeatedly and they bring it every time. There are one of the most energetic bands I've ever seen live. Among the Living is my favorite album but they have so many other great albums as well, including their albums with John Bush. The Bush stuff was a bit on the slower side but his vocals are more 'smooth' than Belladonna.

[@LudusAurea]

The problem with big 4 is a lot of people have no idea what thrash is and they just expect Metallica. Metallica was barely ever thrash.

[@matthewdean7653]

I just saw them live with exodus the other night they are insane!!!!!!!

[@straightto8]

Seen Anthrax back in 1987 when they opened for KISS at the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, CA. It was a kick ass show, one of our buddies went into the mosh pit, came back 10 minutes later with a big red hand print across his face and was crying. 😂

[@alexmay3659]

I was there just for Anthrax.. Left halfway through KISS

[@heathcornbeef]

Anthrax was the second international band my mate's opened for after Metallica's 89 Damaged Justice Tour

[@rodrigomedeiros73]

This was the first song to get me into anthrax as well, killer tune

[@thunderspike1892]

On their Worship Music album from 2011 they have a song called In The End. Incredible singing by Joey Belladona aka Joseph Bellardini

[@justindevoe9556]

One of my favorite bands, this album gets a lot of love but their best is Persistence Of Time, you can put on any track from that and I guarantee you’ll love it

[@fgalaz18]

Live in Chile

[@jaymez3461]

Check out the track, Caught in a Mosh if you wanna hear heavy Anthrax.

[@sammysam1383]

Great review! Love that your opinion is swaying in the right direction for Anthrax! The "problem" with getting introduced to this amazing band is they have some niche songs that a lot of casual Anthrax fans will recommended a song that was great at the time, and is also important in history...such as I'm the Man and also Antisocial, but not really a true representation of who Anthrax really is. They have their place, but there is so much better in Anthrax's catalog! I have been a fan since the mid 80's and have seen them live as recent a the past couple of months ago in Detroit, and are still kicking ass! The Among the Living album is considered one of the best thrash albums ever, and can be listened to from beginning to end. I would stay away from songs from State of Euphoria (based on your comments you would hate Antisocial!!) , as even the members of the band consider that one of their weaker albums. Song wise, I would check out I am the Law, Skeletons in the Closet, Keep it in the Family, AIR, and for newer songs Fight em til you Can't, The GIant, Evil Twin, and In the End is really good (slow but heavy and dedicated to Dimebag Darell and Dio). Hopefully you find more that you like though!

[@sumonjamal1653]

All you gotta do is check out 'Metal thrashing mad' by Anthrax (either the studio version w/ Neil Turbin on vocals, or live version w/ Joe Belladonna on vocals)... and that frantic Anthrax sound is right there in your face! Some of the more shredding Anthrax songs - 'Time'... 'I am the law'... "What doesn't die"... 'Schism'... 'A.I.R.' ... 'Room for one more' 🤘🤘 'Among the living' (the song and album) was from 1987, their first gold record & fan fave. The lyrics were about the Stephen King book 'The Stand', which was made into a TV miniseries in the 90's, and recently a limited series on Paramount+ ... The story begins w/ a plague called the 'superflu' or 'Captain Trips' breaking out of a US military research base and spreads across America like wildfire... Those who are not killed by the disease see law & order breaking down and the collapse of civilization as we know it. In the aftermath, cities are deserted and survivors start seeing dreams of an old lady named Mother Abigail telling them to come see her in Nebraska, and warns them that an evil man is also rounding up survivors to his cause... That figure is revealed to be Randall Flagg, a drifter who possesses powers and is building his base of followers and killing anyone who opposes him. The cover of 'Among the living' shows Randall Flagg in the middle of a crowd of people.

[@LovelyDestructionSTL]

Fuck yeah! Among the Living and Persistence of Time are their best records from the 80s era... their new stuff is badass too, Worship Music and For All Kings are Solid records... 90s is very hit and miss....Sound of White Noise is their peak 90s album 🤘⚡️🤘

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

ANTHRAX has soo many good albums!

[@clbaker8356]

Song is based on Stephen King's novel The Stand. Captain Trips, The Walking Dude...

[@onexrivera2230]

If you like that version of Anthrax then I highly recommend I Am The Law, Keep It In The Family and/or Medusa, can’t go wrong with any of those songs!!

[@williammanns9927]

Gung Ho...Definitely

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

Do you want energy? You've got it per tons!!!

[@jewelbell5]

Anthrax is my favorite thrash band, followed by Testament. That is Anthrax from the 80s, btw.

[@Hayley.a]

Among The Living was the first album i ever bought and i love it still today! What a band! I have always known Joey was a really good singer and he proved it when they did the Dio song Neon Nights for the Dio tribute album. The guy has an amazing voice! He must have to be able to pull off a Dio song!

[@bluesmike1]

Was really excited to hear you react to Night Ranger, "Don't tell me you love me"...guess not. Lol

[@SteveCoronado2]

The original studio version is good, the live version you reacted to is probably 35+ years older and to be honest the first time I saw them in concert that song shredded. Of course that was about 30 years ago or so. Big difference between all three

[@KingsFanForever]

You'll love the whole album of Among the Living, especially Caught in a Mosh, I Am the Law, and Indians.

[@josehelle4685]

Extasis maximo

[@TheSuperSnake313]

100% in the same place with your take on Anthrax in the beginning. I've just never been able to get into them like Metallica or Megadeth

[@kenrk]

Night Ranger? :)

[@mojoriot2293]

This somg was from the album, "Among the Living.," & it came out in 1986. In my opinion, it's the best album they made. Every song on the album is banging, including 'Indians,' which is a great song. I think you just forgot how good the song is after hearing their songs that don't talk to you. I suggested 'Indians,' on a superchat, & you seemed to like it. You weren't praising it or anything, but I don't remember you saying it was bad. Anyway, the album is full of bangers, but my favorite is probably "Caught in a Mosh." Though, I also really like "I am the Law." It's a song about 'Judge Dredd.' Check out a few jams from this album, & you'll dig Anthrax...Maybe you'll even check out another album, just pick wisely, there's a few that should be forgotten. Lol. Enjoy T...Glad you haven't given up on Anthrax...yet. 🤘🤪

[@alexmay3659]

Album was released in 1987

[@mojoriot2293]

@alexmay3659 86/87... They all blur together at this age. Lol... It's a miracle I can still remember most of the lyrics! To many 'party favors' over the years... 🤘🤪 Rock on!

[@LuisDHern]

Skeletons in the Closet is a great song too!

[@rhinno1969]

Anthrax "I'm the Man" or "Bring the Noise" 🤘

[@BrotherZ3R0]

Among the Living is based on the Stephen King book "The Stand". I assume somebody has said that already. I'm too lazy to scroll through the comments😊

[@jimtatro6550]

Either I’m really stoned or he titled this video wrong…. Or both 😂

[@georgepress1261]

If you see them live you would change your mind. Anthrax kick ass. Also imo the album amount the living is their best work. Skeleton in the closet, I am the law, Indians, NFL, caught in the mosh. You missing out

[@TheRiehlThing42]

The way to watch Anthrax is live. From that same show, Skeleton in the Closet. If you think this was intense, Skeleton in the Closet is relentless. Joey's vocals are better live in most cases, especially back in the 80s. Musically, they're even more intense on live recordings. This video was shot by fans and pieced together. The audio isn't as good. Skeleton in the Closet is an official video release and better audio quality.

[@Alisa19711]

This was played on rock stations and in rock clubs all the time. Idk about hot97 though

[@badguyrob6666]

You should check out more of their Live stuff. A Skeleton in the closet from Kings Among Scotland is my recommendation. All their songs are heavier live. I think you would even like Madhouse live, it is much heavier.

[@voodoolife]

Dude! Check out 'Got the Time'.

[@travisbranch1398]

Try most anything from state of euphoria. And also some of the years withJohn Bush singing...I think mid 90's to around 2005.

[@palladinodessa8988]

Of the big 4, I place Anthrax at #2 behind only Slayer. Anthrax was like the little brother being funny, showing off because they were overshadowed by the other 3, but it really is their personality, which is awesome and refreshing. They did all kinds of different stuff, but their bread and butter is their searing riffs with rock solid bass/drum foundation and (at the time) Joey's soaring vocals. I take a lot of heat for my big 4 ordering, but everyone is different and if it were up to me, 1 of them wouldn't have allowed themselves to get so big as to forget the others and sellout... Just one old school thrashers opinion... I was there, I lived it, and I felt the disappointment from it. The music is still good, but the market manipulation and the direction left me behind - fortunately they picked up lots of replacements for me and the others disenfranchised.

[@tommytrixter]

On Any Given Day,Imo,Any Of The Big Four Can Top The Other's But In The End They Are The Mount Rushmore Of Thrash !

[@Richarddraper]

Anthrax are a bit inconsistent album wise. Among The Living is definitely their best and full of good songs. Where they've always excelled is live. Seen them a few times and they always bring it and put on a great gig. I'd love to have been at that Chile show, it looks insane.

[@metalcryptor]

You're actually becoming a metalhead T wow have you come a long way!~ Potter's field, Horror of it all, Poison my eyes are good choices. Agreed You started off bad on Anthrax those tracks you mentioned weren't the right choices lol !!

[@justinatest9456]

Check out Belly of the Beast from Persistence of Time (1990), which was the album In My World is from. They have by far the best bassist of the Big 4 in Frank Bello. Early Anthrax is very corny, it's like early Beastie Boys, it's hard to take seriously.

[@tennywood8721]

Stryper has 3 new singles out FYI.

[@timlong7787]

This is written about the stand by Stephen King

[@TofuDelivererCL]

that's the best album

[@ernestomercedes5754]

Anthrax is the besy😅

[@jacobmetz3267]

-Maybe I'm old school, but I prefer to hear the original album cut of a song before judging a live version. Sorry, to say, not all bands sound good live(definitely NOT the case here, however). But, even so, you should give a listen to the original, regardless of how you like this live cut. But, maybe I'm biased. I first heard this album/song/band back in the eighties. -quick after thought: after you checked out the studio cut toward the end of the video...you commented that it sounded nothing like Anthrax from the 80's? Brother, that album came out in 1987.

[@ThrobbingChomboni]

BRO YOU GOTTA DO REACTION VIDEOS TO SCOTT IAN'S OTHER HUGE PROJECT S.O.D.!!!!!!! You wanna talk hard---- listen to S.O.D. " United Forces" , " Freddy Krueger" ,and " Milano Mosh". It was so ahead of it's time and captured a tempest of musical energies that wouldn't happen anywhere else or by anybody else. I'd like what S.O.D.s impact and innovation to the contribution to seminal band The Bad Brains ( another band you gotta check out if you don't know em'. Try I Against I that song and that album were incredible. Please excuse my long-winded post---- I'm just geeking out on incredible music right now!

[@melthebell33]

Among the living (album) is one of my all time favourite albums, i think listening to live versions for a first time listen is a mistake, you should listen to the studio versions, live can add things but also take away things, and crowd noises etc can cover bits

[@mikenastasi8927]

Hey T, I had won a metal meltdown battle with Deathrider by Anthrax -- give it another listen.

[@LudusAurea]

Definitely a banger. You need to listen to state of euphoria. It’s still way better than their later stuff.

[@megatellica9177]

Hey T it's been awhile great reaction my friend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️☮️ I respect anthrax but they shouldn't have been in a big four should have been Testament

[@darrellsisco9571]

They collaborated with billy milano and called them selves s.o.d

[@APWPaint]

I think you will dig "only" and "room for one more". Still Anthrax but a little different style. More adult sounding for lack of a better term.

[@davidphillips9726]

I feel like you're someone who would groove so much more with the John Bush era of anthrax, as opposed to the Joey Belladonna eras. If you're confused, google what I'm saying. This band had a very tumultuous career. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone has their tastes. Anthrax was my first metal band, so, I consider them to be the most consistent of the big four, despite all the lineup changes they've had.

[@braddurling5275]

Skyclad . They have 13 cds try still spinning shrapnel. The windershins jig. Thinking allowed

[@scottgummow7152]

Do you need to check out the album the greater of two evils it has John Bush sing the great album check it out you’ll like the remix

[@Hailme75]

Listen to Anthrax Deathridder. That songs hard AF

[@alexanderromalo7153]

Damn, I musta been really wasted at that Night Ranger show.

[@davehenley9980]

Your title says night ranger? Anthrax rocks.

[@66hazard]

I hear what your saying T. try listening to anything off of Sound Of White Noise or Stomp 442 different singer John Bush, the band has a different vib.

[@JayTor2112]

No that sounds exactly like Anthrax from the 80's, guess you haven't hit enough songs, or the right songs. Madhouse is a great song though. A.I.R., Armed and Dangerous, Medusa, Aftershock, Skeletons in the Closet, Gung-Ho (from Bochum '86 if you want to see pure energy), Belly of the Beast, Room for One More, Only

[@bradsteed6833]

Give anything from The Sound Of White Noise a listen. It’s their first album with John Bush on vocals.

[@davegustafson7698]

What Doesn't Die

[@jason677]

Their best song is "Only"

[@raymonddayjr932]

Death rider anthrax

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

This is a good song, also Be end End all. This band just have a few good songs but not to consider it as one of the big 4, only for beginning of Thrash Metal but "big 4"?!! I don't see it that way

[@bretr590]
