To be or not to be(ANTHRAX)

[.:Thrasher:.]

Anthrax
A thread needed to made and it has been done
A great thrash metal band and still around since thier first album fistful of metal and still making great music
talk ANTHRAX in this thread and enjoy:thumb:

[Father_Jack]

We had an Anthrax thread before and it died after a while.

Anyway, I'm sure we can agree their greatest album was Spreading the Disease.

[.:Thrasher:.]

well im sure we can keep this one alive
yea thats a great album but what do you think of there first album fistful of metal (i love that album) its so thrashy

[fisQar]

Anthrax takes it in the ***.

[.:Thrasher:.]

Anthrax takes it in the ***.

why do you think that?

[nowitzki]

Bush > Belladonna

[.:Thrasher:.]

Bush > Belladonna

um wat???

[Group Zebra]

um wat???

He would be referring to the singers Anthrax has had.

[nowitzki]

um wat???

You're right, you don't know much about Anthrax do you :p

[victor_claypool]

I saw them live. They were freaking sweet.

[Poofy 666]

yeah same here :) everyone went nuts when they played Deathrider, good to see Joey back

[.:Thrasher:.]

You're right, you don't know much about Anthrax do you :p

sorry dude im trying to get the knowledge from here

[Nostalgia]

sorry dude im trying to get the knowledge from here
Good, this is a very GOOD forum to do so.

[.:Thrasher:.]

Good, this is a very GOOD forum to do so.

yer :)

[evildemonlemurs]

my favorite anthrax album would have to be persistence of time. scott ian is riff meister supremo. in my opinion joey belladonna is better than john bush as he has more vocal capabilities and i just like his voice better.

[Kurtz]

We had an Anthrax thread before and it died after a while.

Anyway, I'm sure we can agree their greatest album was Spreading the Disease.
That's a shame.

And Persistence of Time is their best. Everything about it is just flawless.

Oh yeah, and in general, Bush > Belladonna.

[.:Thrasher:.]

hey ian is rythm guitar ha?

[Rounder]

I wonder if this is flame bait, But personally I hate the belladonna. I Loved sound of white noise. I thought it was the most original album the band ever made. I can appreciate the older stuff, and Persistance is a good record, but SOWN is way ahead of the pack. IMO they could have taken that sound onto bigger things than the band is doing now (reliving the past). ah well.

I know where you're coming from. Belladonna did have that almost boyish tone when he started out, but he definitely matured when State of Euphoria came out.

And yeah, SOWN is excellent, but I still think POT is their best. Lyrically, is heaps above SOWN, but musically it's hard to compare them. BUt then again SOWN is loaded with many songs that are better than many Belladonna-era songs.

[.:Thrasher:.]

good this thread is coming on nicely

[Nostalgia]

Hey kurtz didn't you have a old name? didn't you change your account to kurtz? if you did what was your old name.

[Kurtz]

So what are some of their good songs? I think I've heard of them before at a friends house, but didn't pay much attention before.
It's hard to give a good list, since they have two different eras that sound totally different from each other. But here's some recommations.

Belladonna era:

Caught in a Mosh
Efilnikufesin
Indians
Be All, End All
Finale
Time
Keep it in the Family
In My World
One Man Stands
Discharge

Bush era:

Potters Field
Hy Pro Glo
1000 Points of Hate
This is Not an Exit
Fueled
Drop the Ball
Inside Out
What Doesn't Die
Safe Home
Cadillac Rock Box

[Britton]

get deathrider (its what got me into them but it was the live version but both are great)

There like 20 pages of them there. It doesn't matter what size because when you put the avatar in it should just resize it to 70x70 pixels, if it doesn't just find one with 70x 70 pixels.

[.:Thrasher:.]

sorry about the double post

(IMO i dont like it cause i dont like rap)
ah well this thread is failing :(

[Thrash em all]

[Thrash em all]

scott ian is one of the best guitarist in the thrash world

[.:Thrasher:.]

scott ian is one of the best guitarist in the thrash world

no not really hes good but not that good

[Kurtz]

On a rhythm scale, he's one of the best.

[Zmev]

Belladonna > Bush

[Thrash em all]

On a rhythm scale, he's one of the best.

really i diddent know that

Belladonna > Bush

what do you prefer him from bush ???

[.:Thrasher:.]

On a rhythm scale, he's one of the best.

same diddent no that either:)

[.:Thrasher:.]

whats eveyones favorite album and why? (if you want to explain why)

[ThrashMaster27]

Why are you talking about Attack Of The Killer B's like it was a full Rap album? It had 2 rap songs on it.

Scott Ian is a great Rhythm Guitarist, but he's not the best. Fistful of Metal or State of Euphoria is my favorite album. State of Euphoria is horribly underrated.

[FatalEnergy]

Persistance of Time is my favorite. It showcases a faster, tighter, more focused Anthrax and also the fact that they left thier 'happy" sound in the dust.

Frank Bello = Very Underrated bassist. Probably the best bassist out of the "Big Four"......well, Ellefson is pretty damn awesome, but didn't write his own basslines.

Yes, Bello is BETTER than Cliff. Cliff is Exremely overrated and Tom Araya never did anything special.

[Kurtz]

whats eveyones favorite album and why? (if you want to explain why)
Persistence of Time.

Musically, it's the best they've recorded. They're never sounded angrier and more pissed off on a musical stance, ever. Top notch guitar work, fantastic drums job by Charlie, and Belladonna's best vocal performance. Even the bass stands out on this; just listen to Got the Time. To top it all off, it has an incredible production job by Mark Dodson.

I think it's lyrically their best, too. I love the whole theme on racism, political correctness, and tolerance; something you hardly ever see in a metal band, with the exception of some grind.

And, I just love the feel of the album. It feels very East Coast, very New York. It's hard to explain, but it's the atmosphere of Persistence of Time which is also what makes it my favorite album.

this is like a free leson on thrash for me lol
my favorite album would have to be fistful of metal cause the singing in it is awsome and and the guitar and solos rip it hard which i like:thumb:
(nice Kurtz you explained your point very well)

[Scott_Thrasher]

Yer, Anthrax truly rock, guitar solos, kick arse singing!!!!! wat more could you want?????

[Jondur]

You know what... with the exception of the debut I never got into Anthrax. Belladonna era stuff in particular was really second rate. I never understood why they got so much attention. I saw them a couple of times in the late 80s/early 90s and I have to say Bush was 100X better than that mop headed idiot Belladonna.

But none could match Turbin! The first album is class!

There is so much better thrash though.

and why so you dislike them so much???

[Sph]

Do you really think he's overrated? Have you ever seen/heard his live solos? Bello is ceratainly one of the best, but better than Burton?

[.:Thrasher:.]

there definently a match but i prefer cliff cause of his solo's (ugh such good solo's)i dont really get the overrated bit

[Sph]

there definently a match but i prefer cliff cause of his solo's (ugh such good solo's)

Yeah, the problem is the bass isn't very loud in some his best stuff like Call of the Ktulu, Disposable Heroes etc.

But anyways, what sounds thrashier Belladonna era or Bush era?

[Jondur]

why do you hate Belladonna:confused:
and why so you dislike them so much???

Read it again - I loved Fistful of Metal. I thought it was a great album. I also quite liked some of the Bush era stuff but all the Belladonna stuff was rubbish. Why listen to that when there was Destruction, Sodom, Heathen, Razor etc etc etc

[.:Thrasher:.]

what sounds thrashier Belladonna era or Bush era?

to tell you the truth i dont no that much on Anthrax but i like state of euphoria, fistful of metal, spreading the disease, and sound of white noise they are the only albums ive heard so far so which era are those? I like them but FFOM is my favorite

[Sph]

Bush > Belladonna

I agree. I know that the popular thing to say is Belladonna is the only lead singer, bla bla bla. I just can't get into his singing. I like Bush much more.

I really enjoyed the greater of two evils. :thumb:

There is so much better thrash though.
I don't really like Fistful of Metal or Spreading the Disease so much. I appreciate them for what they are, but I'm really put off by the vocals and the feel of the album.

I still stand by what I say when I said Bush > Belladonna.

I always considered Anthrax more riff-oriented than the other three bands from the Big 4 of thrash.
