Yeah, I was about to say "ironically Anthrax wasn't one of them," but then I went over to Wikipedia and checked out how their albums charted. Well, I was wrong because Anthrax sold way more records with their new singer way after I totally lost interest in them. Crazy that Among The Living peaked at 62 on the US Billboard chart, State of Euphoria got to 30, Persistence of Time hit 24...and then their first album with the new singer goes to 7 and that came out in 1995. However, that album really was the beginning of the end for them. Next album went to 47 and the one after that only 118. Then, they waited 5 years and only reached 123 with the next one. Last one with John Bush in 2004 didn't even chart. So, they waited until 2011 to get Joey back on vocals and they hit 12 on US Billboard chart. Next one with Joey again hit number 2. Firing Joey might have been the stupidest move they made?

All the bands featured in this short film had broken into the mainstream, even if it was only a small dent. I think "Reign In Blood" was a top 100 release. Obviously "Master of puppets" did extremely well and Motorhead were already an established band by this point. All those other thrash bands as great as they might have been, were never going to get this kind of attention from MTV due to being to underground and specialist.

"All those Iron Maiden fans, they really want to hear us."
