He sounds cool when he gets to singing, hopefully they can give him some Sound of white noise quality material, and not have him talking over songs. I will give it a chance, but John Bush would still kick Nanny Felson’s ass!!! Oh, what was his name again…?

“Journey” vocals, H? Steve Perry yelled about 1/2 pitch out of key?

Actually, if you were listening to old Anthrax at the time (not now with 25 years of new musical styles invented in between), it was great thrash metal. Of course today there is way too much to compare it to and it comes out dated, much like most of today’s power metal does.

Ok, so here is my problem with Anthrax. In the 80s they had great thrash riffs but the vocals were too…Journey. So in the 90s they dump the Journey vocals and get good classic thrash vocals. And for 1 album (Sound of White Noise) it was great. Then the thrash riffs started to slide into post-thrash…I bought Stomp 442 when it first came out and I didn’t really care for it. There was too many filler riffs and songs in that one. I don’t know about The Threat Is Real or We’ve Come For You All, only that both albums were a “return to the old school” according to Scott Ian but ended up a return to the old in a Megadeth sort of way. You know, Dave has been comparing every Megadeth album since Youthanasia to Peace Sells and Rust in Peace. I guess Peace Sells sells albums. Hah.

Anyways, I hope that they have good riffs, good solos, good songs and good vocals. I really do.

Guy sounds good. Unfortunately, it’s all about the songwriting. We’ll see what Ian and company have left in them.

Sounds pretty promising to me. A step in the right direction in my opinion.
