ARGUE WITH SCOTT IAN

Friday, November 13th, 2009 at 2:00pm by

scott-ian-pokerAnthrax 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.

  • Fufkin

    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!

  • NoNameNoSlogan

    Pretty good list…never heard Raven though.

    • Discipleofthewatch

      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)

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    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.

  • brian roach

    good list, but Mercyful Fate isn’t thrash metal! They rule, but they’re not thrash. Just sayin…

  • H2O

    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.

    • IAmTheClitCommander

      Yes, people with good taste in music recognize that Pantera was one of the greatest metal bands of all time.

  • Scourge441

    Any list that doesn’t include Morbid Saint is wrong.

  • MAtttttt

    I always dug Vio-Lence. Eternal Nightmare is a classic.

  • Putz666

    No Testament?

  • Kev-O

    Testament’s The Legacy is the best thrash album.

  • Matthew Grant Anson

    Rust In Peace.
