Opinions on the new Anthrax singer?

Looks like the band took the music back a bit toward the faster heavier stuff, at least.

That's always good, in my book.

I have to reserve my judgement on the new singer til new studio album come out but please tell this dude to stop trying to sound like Phil, I wish they would have asked John Bush back or found away to get along with Belladonna, or at least hope this is off night for new vocalist, it would be silly for Anthrax to come off like a third rate Pantera, considering that Anthrax was one of the bands that influenced Pantera in the first place.

They are a 3rd rate Pantera.

I'll judge after i hear a studio album.

Yup.

Talk about a lame duck....

They should change their name to Panthrax.

Sounds pretty good, at least the music does.

Or An-Tera.

i dont think i will bother with this album when it comes out

It still grates me that they had a big reunion with the original lineup! and brought Joey back to the mic they toured did a live album and then all of a sudden he's gone and some throaty growler type is the new singer

I don't have a problem with that style of vocals but Anthrax was never meant to have vocals like the IMO. Joey Bellodona is one of my all time favorite singers and the reason I'm an Anthrax fan.

I say if you can't have Joey then at least bring back Jon.

I'll make my final opinons on the new guys vox after I hear a studio quality song but I don't honestly think It'll sound much better

Now If You'll excuse me I gotta go listen to STD & ATL and remeber the glory days

Neil should take a break from Deathriders and reunite with the band.

I also just read about a guy named Matt Fallon who replaced Turbin in 1984 and started recording Spreading the Disease with the group, but was replaced by Belladonna. He later sang with Dave Sabo(which he played with in a group called Steel Fortune) in the first incantation of Skid Row, which was already preforming "18 and Life" and "Youth Gone Wild". They also opened for Bon Jovi on the Slippery When Wet tour and then he was replaced by Bach. Do any recording of this guys exist with Skid Row or Anthrax? I would love to hear them if they do.

Bringing back Jon would have been the best choice, but I don't hate the new guy.

Now they can release a new album of studio tracks from both the Belladonna and Bush era's and call it "Third Times the Charm" or something like that.

I don't like him.

This is from Eddie Trunk's site, it seems like there is a rumor that new boy Dan Nelson is out of the band,


No idea what is up on the Anthrax front. It seems there is no doubt some disconnect here and all I have been able to find out from the band is that Dan Nelson called in sick for the start of the tour a couple hours before they were about to leave for Europe. Then I was getting reports that Dan was sending out on Twitter and Facebook messages that seemed as if something more was going on and he was out of the band. Not sure what's up but the bands release said he was seriously ill. If he was so ill how is he taking time to send messages online? It all seems strange and I hope it gets worked out because as I stated in my Rocklahoma review, the guy was great singing with the band. I don't know about anything behind the scenes but he got it done vocally. Lets see what happens with this and the Ozzy/Zakk situation which also seems somewhat unclear.

I think its time for them to pack up their toys and go home.
