ARGUE WITH SCOTT IAN
Friday, November 13th, 2009 at 2:00pm by Axl Rosenberg
Anthrax are doing a signing of their just re-issued for the umpteenth time Among the Living in New York this Sunday; Gary Suarez suggested one of us hit it up to ask them “What the fuck is up with John Bush?”, but that would mean I’d have to a) buy a copy of an album I already have and b) wait in line with a thousand other morons to ask a question I’ll never get a straight answer for anyway (I’ve tried, believe me).
Here’s a question for which you can get a straight answer, though: “What are Scott Ian’s top 10 thrash albums?” Because Mr. Ian has just posted his list at Noisecreep.
Humbly, he’s left Anthrax off the list; he’s also included a couple of albums I’d argue are not straight-up thrash, but I guess I’m not really in a position to tell Scott Ian what is or is not thrash.
Check out Scott’s list here, then come back and argue about it in our comments section.

VH1… Thats all I have to say.
Never mind what the fuck is up with John Bush – what the fuck is up with the last two years of Anthrax?
I mean, what the fuck happened there!
Pretty good list…never heard Raven though.
Neither have I heard Raven, and I don’t like Mercyful Fate, but other than that I love all the other albums he listed. I’ll have to check Raven out.
I have a friend who looks like Scott Ian.
I love Anthrax!
Everyone has a friend who looks like Scott Ian. Sort of how everyone has a friend who looks like Stanley Tucci.
Yeah, all my friens who used to have long hair and became bold now look like him… Yeah I know my friends are old, and so am I (I still have my hair though)
VH1 aside, it is hrd to argue with the guy. Whether you like the Albums he posted or not they all have the beginning ingredients of Metal as we know it today. Im actually surprised he didnt cite Motorhead.
good list, but Mercyful Fate isn’t thrash metal! They rule, but they’re not thrash. Just sayin…
Vulgar display of power one of the best metal albums of all time? What does he smoke? I want it so I experience my favourite albums I a way I never thought possible.
Yes, people with good taste in music recognize that Pantera was one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
Any list that doesn’t include Morbid Saint is wrong.
I always dug Vio-Lence. Eternal Nightmare is a classic.
No Testament?
Testament’s The Legacy is the best thrash album.
Rust In Peace.
