What many people don't realize is Charlie Benante(the drummer) wrote/writes a ton of all the Anthrax songs.

Most high price guitars today are auction pieces and wall decorations In all my years Ive never known of a working musician to be out there using top of the line, insanely priced guitars. A lot of very famous musicians do, but those guitars are only worth so much because it's theirs... There are a few high profile musicians who pay to replicate their famous rigs so they can bring them around to play, while the real treasure sits somewhere safe Up until my late 20s, I literally used copy brands, even WallyMart specials and never had any issues. My first mid priced, actual brand guitar was bought in the early 90s

Always respect this guy because he honors rocks roots. Not a fan of his genre but I respect it and he can play old school as good as anyone.
To see Scott playing some of his favorite licks, check out the video of him playing the Gretsch Malcolm Young Signature Jet guitar. It's all AC⚡DC of course, but the guitar sounds FANTASTIC and they are one of Scotty's all time favorite bands. He just kills the Riffmeister's licks.
Not a massive fan but I must say he absolutely nailed that ascending chromatic scale in the beginning, it's honestly no wonder how he's such an inspirational guitarist to countless dozens after seeing him nail such an amazing feat of technicality and passion. Honestly tear bringing content. Thank you Loudwire.

As far as riff's I heard a long time ago the first 2 albums & SOD as well Scott was the main music writer then from Among the Living on Charlie became the main riff guy. You can tell a pretty good difference between Spreading & Among style wise. If I met Scott that's the first thing I'd ask. When I met Frankie we talked for a little bit but I forgot to ask him about that. I'm sure he knows.

I talked to him after the show and he explained he was in town for Anthrax’s show the next evening. We shook hands and he said he was going backstage to hang with Trent and crew. One of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.
