I'm a HUGE fan... yet i HATE every one of their records except the pop-thrash masterpiece "Spreading The Disease" and the catchy speed metal of "WORSHIP MUSIC". The rest is all uninspired. (Many metalheads love Among The Living etc, but I find that stuff WEAK. Yeah, it's faster and crunchier... but the SONGWRITING STINKS.)

You must be a dinosaur too then.

The contrast of the woof and chunk of Anthrax’s music and Joey’s melodic vocals are what makes Anthrax unique. Always my favorite of the classic “thrash” bands, and forever one of my favorite bands overall.

I disagree that rock is NOT dead. (It's no longer a CULTURAL FORCE. No new bands are doing new things. IT's DEAD. It was killed by the GOP's iHeartRadio. Greta Van Fleet are RETRO. Not pushing rock FORWARD.) Rock was a FORCE from day one. Popular CULTURE. THat's no longer the case.

(EX: Rolling Stone magazine STOPPED writing about NEW rock bands who were pushing rock forward, b/c they're total PAY-TO-PLAY (Payola) now.)

@Richard Skipper The big 4 has more to do with pioneering and influence of the band.Anthrax were one of the earliest band among the thrash bands to release a thrash albu.And which band is better than which is highly a personal taste...but in terms of fanbase Anthrax has more fans than Testament and Sepultura.Also Pantera is not a thrash metal band.They are considered as groove.Even Sepultura is sometimes labelled as a groove metal band.

Such a cool interview.. Kind of a trip to hear one of the biggest metal bands of all-time talk about how they can't afford to fuck around in the studio

ANTHRAX brought some needed fun 🤪 to Thrash Metal scene. They didn’t take themselves too serious and that was refreshing, New York 🏴‍☠️🗽style! The band is NOT the same without Dan Spitz on Guitar 🎸 !

I can't get enough of these interviews, Mitch is such a gracious host, asking great questions and actually listening without ever talking over or interupting a guest.This interview series is knocking it out of the park! I still remember the first I heard Anthrax back in the 80's, man that was huge turning point for me and music interest. They are still one of my favorite bands to listen too, awesome to see them still doing it!

I dig Joey's Rush Presto tour shirt. I had that very shirt.

Cool seeing a current interview from Anthrax :) {Totally Underrated} Joey Belladonna is my favourite singer of all time!

First time I saw Anthrax was in 1985 or 86 it was a long time ago at the Olympic auditorium in Los Angeles with DRI, Corrosion of Conformity, Possessed and No mercy. I was hooked. I was Punk rock only except i liked Anthrax. They were the ones that got me on the direction of listening to Metal. And Scott became a huge influence on my guitar playing.

I would totally buy "Anthrax Does 70's Covers"

I think Jon said maybe one word outside of answering questions directed towards him specifically haha

Paused at 3:28 to go listen to Fast as a Shark.

Starting at 23:05 they all have hands down the best take on the "rock is dead" debate, and I've been saying the same thing for years now. Just because there's all these other genres out here that are more popular doesn't mean that rock bands just stopped existing. Some brilliant rock music has been released within the last decade, and those that make that claim are just ignoring all that.

I tried to see Anthrax during the Stomp 442 album. They played at this small venue in Grand Rapids, MI. It was too packed. So, I got to hear them from out side. You could feel the kick drum through the front door. I would love to see them again. Great interview.

1 voice hummmm and I know its Joey and would definitely know its Anthrax XD. When I was a teenager I really loved how Joey sounded specially when Frank's backup vocals comes in. It sounded so cool and made me wanna go headbanging with goose bumps all over. I remember I was very disappointed when Joey left the band.

Piranha, Heathen, Violence, Death Angel and Testament, so many Bay Area bands back in the day. Anthrax was rad cause it was East Coast, different but the same vision I think. A long gone scene.

I love these guys!! After all these years. They still seem happy with each other and can sit in a room and just hang out with each other. If there is any animosity between them. They got a great way of hiding it. Just a group of friends hanging out playing kickass speed metal!!! Thank you for making this getting old dude’s childhood hard, fast and aggressive. Also: thank you guys for not changing the band name after the anthrax in the mail shit. That happened a few years back🤘

Love Anthrax! Hope some of them can come to Gearfest cause I’d love to hear them do a clinic

Anthrax is my favorite metal band Among the living is my absolute favorite album!

What a great interview. You can tell how these guys have survived so long. Great guys.

The whole video was like only 5 minutes to me. I love these guys. They are my idol and my heart.

Really great to see that they are still going strong. I still remembering fondly as we listened to Anthrax in our rehearsal space as young dudes!

It’s Phenomenal the quantum leap that was taken between Neil Turbins version of soldiers of metal and Joeys version which was much more melodious and straightforward and redefined.I remember seeing Anthrax at the Roseland in New York with Metallica and John Bushes first band Armored Saint which had compromised acoustics due to all the curtains they had.I don’t think Metallica got a sound check because cliff kept raising his thumb up indicating that he couldn’t hear himself to turn it up!

Scott ad Charlie have always been kinda shitty towards Joey. They never hang out with him or care about his opinion. It was purely business getting him back in the band, same as it was when they booted him out. Charlie and Scott have always been all about the money. Same reason S.O.D is gone, ask Billy Milano, he'll tell you. They're lucky to have Joey. I love Anthrax, but Scott and Charlie are pretty ruthless in a lot of ways.

Do the k-tel covers!!! I'll buy it!

Now I really wanna see antrax playing their reaggy :D

The last few anthrax records have been their best... Fight me. Lol

7:55 all you need to know is WAR DANCE

Still going strong Anthrax. The best

Joey with the Presto shirt. Fuggin Aye!!!

i play blues with my dad, we are always saying the same re timing and stuff, we complain when people can't follow us, its not about being metronomic all the time lol similar to how pitches can be sharp or flat in that style too..

you should do 70's radio anthem rock album, Joey already can sing like that!! It would be a hit and that would get you the radio play!!

Whoa! One of the fastest clicks I’ve ever done.

I want “Anthems II”!!!!

Rock will never die, as long as kids want to play the drums or guitar or be a singer there will always be some form of Rock or metal.

Joey is an excellent vocalist.
