ANTHRAX - "Metal Thrashing Mad" (live in a dive '87)
When talking about this inagural clip with Producer Roco, he pointed out that a lot of my interests (musical and otherwise) are like 5-7 years before my time. To his point, I was about ten when Anthrax were in their golden age, but that doesn't make this song any less ripping.
The Anthrax of today is a bit like having the old Number Two combo at McDonalds after eating Prime Rib for a week. Okay and all, but no John Bush? Spitz rocking open toed leather sandals? I just equated Scott Ian to the two cheeseburger meal.
Anyways, let's jet back to an era wherein grown men could wear spandex biker shorts and be the manliest man in the room, and Bud Bundy has Anthrax over for dinner.
Anthrax will raid your fridge and play thrash licks on your grave!
On a more serious note, Danny Liker is one of the more underrated metal bassists of all time (quite the esoteric category, I know), and his post-Anthrax work in Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth is crucial and will melt your face.
