How many remember the holographic sticker that came with the State of Euphoria album? I stuck mine on a flute case (why I had a flute at the time is an odd story) and then traded the flute along with a bunch of other stuff for a '68 SG. I was pissed when Bush left the band and Belladonna came back in because I figured there's no way he can still sing. But then I heard Worship Music and saw the Big Four tour documentary thing. Belladonna's still got it. But Bush was really good too. Love Sound of White Noise. Love that record.
When Anthrax reunited for the first time back with Belladonna and Spitz, i saw them play here at the Starland Ballroom in NJ where they recorded the live album Alive 2. Great show.
I only saw Anthrax once. It was with John Bush. They opened for Megadeth/Motley Crue in 2000. My Late Cousin Randy Castillo (Motley Crue), couldn't play because of health problems. But it was alot of fun. Nikki Sixx had to let Anthrax off the tour I believe after the show here in Albuquerque. R.I.P. Cuz AKA Randy Castillo.
Bought Fist Full of Metal when it came out. You know how it was back then , went by the album cover as I thought it was cool. I liked it enough to pick up Spreading The Disease which ended up being my favorite by them.
Persistence Of Time and Spreading The Disease flip flop for my #1 and #2, w White Noise a solid #3. All brilliant to my ears. Thanks for the video Doc!
I was never a big fan of Anthrax. They have a few tunes I can get into but I just never enjoyed their angle. I always thought Overkill should have had that level of success and were in the big 4.
Thank you I had the same problem with Scott on the state of uphoria tour. My future wife was in the hospital and could not go to the show or the meet and greet at a record store. And when I asked him and explained to him that I would hope he would sign a 2nd autograph for her he snapped and said 1 autograph only and you don't like it get the f out. Exodus was also there and when I went to get there autograph they apologized for Anthrax and asked me how ever many things I want signed they would be more than happy to. Since that day I never bough another Anthrax album for years and still to this day i would only buy by them used as to not give them any sales.
Thanks for sharing the content Dr. Fukk. Had Fist Full of Metal on cassette and played the hell out of it. Definitely one of my favorite album covers from the 80s.
In the day I loved SOD but never cared so much for Anthrax. I didn’t dislike them I just didn’t go out of my way to listen to them. Recently I have gained a new found respect for them. It also seems Anthrax made some pretty good music long after Slayer and Metallica stopped being able to. Maybe it’s just me but I bet a few of you out there feel the same.
Anthrax imo the most consistent of the big 4 over the last 20 years. 3 great albums in WCFYA, Worship Music and For All Kings = all stellar releases as far as I'm concerned.
Spreading the disease is my favorite. Have big love for Anthrax, they are still kicking ass. Scott Ian is apparently immortal, his beard ages but he doesnt.
Hey Ralph thank you for this video I really enjoyed it. I was a big Anthrax fan in the '80s. After Persistence of Time I lost track of them a bit because I was busy with other things like music. In 1998 I saw them live again which was weird just charly and scott were still there . For me, Anthrax is with Joey Belladonna, but I have to admit, I never listened to the Bush period. I pulled out my "sound of the white noice" CD today to listen to😁
I could possibly guess but I'll watch first. Auf Weidersain cover, so good. I love Bare too. Your show just did the best thing for me, sent me to listen to Anthrax🤙Thanks Ralph!
i fuckin love state of europhoria. its the first anthrax i got into, i actually bought among the living but it was too heavy for me, i wasnt into thrash at that time i was into classic metal and the drumming was too intense for me, the ampng the living had a defect on the vinyl so i took it back and got a wasp album instead. two years later i heard state of europhoria and loved it. after that i was hooked, i love their bush era stuff too
I love everything they did with Joey. Sound of White Noise is the only good album with Bush. I only like 3 songs from Fistful. Was that Billy Milano at the end of the video?
I got into Anthrax with Among the Living is my first Anthrax release. Liked S.O.D.,M.O.D, and Nuclear Assault. State of Euphoria was a definitely misstep.
Im so-so with the whole catalog but their cover of Neon Knights with Belladonna is kick ass. It does the song justice and Joey fills the shoes of Dio pretty decently. In my opinion that kind of metal is more Joey's style. But yeh great cover.
More of a Bellodonna fan with Anthrax. Didn’t like the Bush era at all. The last two Anthrax studio albums kicked ass big time. Most bands that late in their career release some of their best work. And I think Worship Music and For all Kings did just that. 🤘😎
Anthrax is not Anthrax without Joey the same as armored Saints is not Armored Saints without John bush which is a trip you live in Florida I live in Alabama for about the same age but our opinions are completely different but hey that's why I love hearing your take on their album's love to hear some more combat or Thrasher or die roll tide
I used to be a huge Anthrax fan from the NYC L'Amours era. WSOU used to play them all the time. The first 3 albums are individually epic with distinctive character but after ATL they didn't progress like Metallica, Megadeth & Slayer. Pantera & Testament, IMO, elbow mosh tossed Anthrax out of the thrash ethos. Good memories.
I am probably the opposite kind of anthrax fan. To me it was the fun metal aspect which set them apart. Remember being very disappointed when white noise came out, but I guess I am in the wrong since everyone seems to love it. Well to each their own, as you say... Agree with you, though, that sod is a better band.
White Noise had a special place for us younger metalheads who went to high school in the 90's. While everyone was sucking off the Seattle scene, Anthrax was our band, and Sound of White Noise was our rallying cry, when high school began to look like a very lonely and unfamiliar place.
never liked the last one.......... but then i got it , it took a looooong while but it finally warmed to it n its got some gems on it. Spreading is their masterpiece imo
I really liked Vol8, sure, its the furthest away from classic Anthrax, but i love it. WCFYA is very hit and miss for me. Some killer tunes, and some bunk. Dude, you live in Florida, turn on the Fukkin AC, are you NUTS?! The greater of two evils was also cool.
I saw them on clash of the titans as well in San Diego, Alice in chains opened. They were not well received. Slayer and megadeth smoked anthrax. Good times
I was a big fan too! I saw a live show on TH-cam awhile back and they had pentagrams. What a fuckin’ joke! Since when did they go from rapping, teenage mutant ninja turtle guitars, and wiping faces with toilet paper to “satanists”. Trying to rip off Slayer.
Dude, this might seem random and an odd place to talk about something like this. But I want to help you. You obviously care about your hair and would like to keep it. Go to the doctor and get a prescription for finasteride. Take 1mg a day and within 3 months, it will stop your hair loss and also help make your hair healthier. It won't regrow your hair, but it will let you keep what you have. If you want to regrow what you have lost, minoxidil works for a lot of people. I wasn't losing my hair, but once I hit 40, I noticed that the texture and quality of my hair was diminishing. So I started taking finasteride and minoxidil and within 4 or 5 months, my hair was in the best shape it had been in 20 years. It was like I was 16 again. hehe. You are at a point where it isn't too late. Don't wait too long or there is no going back. Unless you want to pay big bucks for a transplant.

I started watching you last month. I had no idea you had such a knowledge of punk too. Right on.
When Anthrax reunited for the first time back with Belladonna and Spitz, i saw them play here at the Starland Ballroom in NJ where they recorded the live album Alive 2. Great show.

Condolences To you and your family. Randy was one of the most amazing skin pounder hero's to get behind a kit.
I highly agree on SOD being better than any Anthrax album. I’m the Man is when I discovered Anthrax
Technically SOD only has one good album while anthrax has at least 7 good albums.
@Ryo-lence which do you think is better, eternal nightmare or oppressing the masses?
Bought Fist Full of Metal when it came out. You know how it was back then , went by the album cover as I thought it was cool. I liked it enough to pick up Spreading The Disease which ended up being my favorite by them.
Persistence Of Time and Spreading The Disease flip flop for my #1 and #2, w White Noise a solid #3. All brilliant to my ears. Thanks for the video Doc!
I have to say that they're one of the few bands that get better as they age. Sort of like fine wine.
I was never a big fan of Anthrax. They have a few tunes I can get into but I just never enjoyed their angle. I always thought Overkill should have had that level of success and were in the big 4.
Totally agree 💯
I agree, 100 percent. Almost all Anthrax songs are 90% filler. They will have one good tune and the rest will be filler.
OVERKILL 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you I had the same problem with Scott on the state of uphoria tour. My future wife was in the hospital and could not go to the show or the meet and greet at a record store.

Since that day I never bough another Anthrax album for years and still to this day i would only buy by them used as to not give them any sales.
Some people are not people persons. I wouldn't take it too personally.
I saw Anthrax on the Among the Living tour, they were opening for KISS on their Crazy Nights tour. Charlie Benante changed my life that night!
Thanks for sharing the content Dr. Fukk. Had Fist Full of Metal on cassette and played the hell out of it. Definitely one of my favorite album covers from the 80s.
Sound of White is my favorite Anthrax album! Would say I wish John Bush was back in the band, but I’m happy he’s been back in Armored Saint!
Dude,there was an Art Stock's Playpen in Florida? There was also one up here in NJ as well. Never knew that.
You should do thought on pantera
Like your anthrax Jaws shirt
In the day I loved SOD but never cared so much for Anthrax. I didn’t dislike them I just didn’t go out of my way to listen to them.
Recently I have gained a new found respect for them. It also seems Anthrax made some pretty good music long after Slayer and Metallica stopped being able to.

Love the last two albums, top notch
Anthrax imo the most consistent of the big 4 over the last 20 years. 3 great albums in WCFYA, Worship Music and For All Kings = all stellar releases as far as I'm concerned.
Their recent livestream blew me away. I thought Joey was going to suck but no the entire band was smokin'. It's well worth checking out if you can.
What Anthrax song was dedicated to John Belushi?
N.F.L
SOD fucking rules. I listened to that album so much in high school. Spreading the Disease is my favorite Anthrax album.
Spreading the disease is my favorite.
Have big love for Anthrax, they are still kicking ass.
Scott Ian is apparently immortal, his beard ages but he doesnt.

Deathrider is amazing, would love to hear it with Joey singing. First half of Worship Music is just as good as Among and Spreading to me. SOD rules!
I worked on the spreading, among and pot reissues and I work for the mentors.
I guess Scott Ian is a pickle whistler.
I love everything they did with Joey. Sound of White Noise is the only good album with Bush. I only like 3 songs from Fistful. Was that Billy Milano at the end of the video?
Great job doc. Who are those 2 guys talking about Scott and Charlie at the end?
Billy Milano on the left...
Same here I have every anthrax album but the last one.
Can you do a video on the Ramones
The reason Anthrax was pissed off around the time of recording Persistence of Time is because their rehearsal studio burned down
True, but also a lot of backlash in the press too, which is why they got rid of the colored shorts and made a much darker album.
I got into Anthrax with Among the Living is my first Anthrax release. Liked S.O.D.,M.O.D, and Nuclear Assault. State of Euphoria was a definitely misstep.
State of euphoria was kickass. The threat is real and stomp 442 were missteps.
8:35 - SofE was released a couple weeks after Justice.
Spreading The Disease is their best album all day long, imo, For all Kings is fucking amazing,
Im so-so with the whole catalog but their cover of Neon Knights with Belladonna is kick ass. It does the song justice and Joey fills the shoes of Dio pretty decently. In my opinion that kind of metal is more Joey's style. But yeh great cover.
The Bush records are way underrated imo, but they do better business with Joey. I could see either guy handling the vox on the last two records.
More of a Bellodonna fan with Anthrax. Didn’t like the Bush era at all. The last two Anthrax studio albums kicked ass big time. Most bands that late in their career release some of their best work. And I think Worship Music and For all Kings did just that. 🤘😎
Never got Anthrax, I do love Sound of white noise though.
Anthrax is not Anthrax without Joey the same as armored Saints is not Armored Saints without John bush which is a trip you live in Florida I live in Alabama for about the same age but our opinions are completely different but hey that's why I love hearing your take on their album's love to hear some more combat or Thrasher or die roll tide
I had a similar experience with Charlie. Dude seemed super shy.
Liked Anthrax for a long time, I have the first four albums, Killer B’s and I am the Law 12” single on vinyl 😎
John Bush was an upgrade.
AND justice for All was released almost two weeks before state of euphoria
I agree on 'Fistful of Metal' being their best...Neil Turbin is a beast on it!..!
I used to be a huge Anthrax fan from the NYC L'Amours era. WSOU used to play them all the time. The first 3 albums are individually epic with distinctive character but after ATL they didn't progress like Metallica, Megadeth & Slayer.

I've always been a fareweather fan.
NOT seen state tour it was called head bangers ball tour it was Helloween Exodus and Anthrax. Metal rules
never liked the last one.......... but then i got it , it took a looooong while but it finally warmed to it n its got some gems on it. Spreading is their masterpiece imo
I really liked Vol8, sure, its the furthest away from classic Anthrax, but i love it. WCFYA is very hit and miss for me. Some killer tunes, and some bunk.
Dude, you live in Florida, turn on the Fukkin AC, are you NUTS?!
The greater of two evils was also cool.
the last one kicks ass
Awesome
I love For All Kinga.
I agree with everything you said.
Among, Persistence and White Noise are my top 3. Spreading would probably be 4. Euphoria is definitely my least favorite.
I saw them on clash of the titans as well in San Diego, Alice in chains opened. They were not well received. Slayer and megadeth smoked anthrax. Good times
I always liked (still do!!) Nuclear Assault better!
Miles better!I only really like Fistful Of Metal from Anthrax, afterwards they sound too monotonous and dry
Oh shit, I've gotten several records sent to me from Miami metal merchant!! Small world.
SOD!!! I like Anthrax but never got into the singers.
Oh, and it's so cool you've met John Nice to know he's a nice guy. I think he is one of the best vocalists in metal.
I like a lot of Anthrax but I agree with you that "For All Kings" is pretty forgettable.
I love anthrax
I was a big fan too! I saw a live show on TH-cam awhile back and they had pentagrams. What a fuckin’ joke! Since when did they go from rapping, teenage mutant ninja turtle guitars, and wiping faces with toilet paper to “satanists”. Trying to rip off Slayer.
Bought State Of Euphoria the day it came out. Very disappointed. It was over for me. The first 3 slbums are plenty.
Great Frankie story! Yes Scott is awful.
so you have collected everything from a band you only sorta like. ok.
yes. im a completist. only people like us understand. so i can see why you would question it. logical question
Scott Ian thinks he is a big shot NOT NO NO NO NO NOT

There only song I like is ANTISOCIAL.
I like Anthrax, Bush era was awesome!! But Anthrax in the Big 4 bwahahahahahaha!!! No, just no.
Anthrax needs to retire
Sound of White Noise rules!
