Got this album on vinyl when it came out, has a hype sticker on it: "This record contains NOT one hit single". I grew up in the 70s & 80s, graduated high school in '82. It was kinda fun buying a record or 2 or 3, knowing one or maybe 2 songs on each one, then not being able to wait to get home to drop the needle on them to see if your purchase was worth the $ spent. I still have all my records.
dude if it were up to me, hed just review every song lol... antisocial is my fav anthrax song, then CIAM, and then time & belly of the beast... and of course startin up a posse... sabbath bloody sabbath.... fuck all of em are balls out awesome

Wilson il Perso so true man! Nice post. Hope he reviews any song you mentioned.
THANK YOU Alex for finally reacting to Anthrax! Anthrax is my favorite out of the big 4, but i like and seen all of them live many times! I always felt that Exodus, Testament, Death Angel and Overkill are certainly worthy of being a big part of the thrash movement in the 80’s. Anthrax was different from the other thrash metal bands from the 80’s and they took chances...they were having fun while writing songs about social and political subjects and Steven King novels plus mixing they’re love of rap with metal music..with they’re song with Public Enemy “Bring the Noise” and that helped create a whole new sub genre of music. I think you should react to the most recent songs from these bands a see how they’ve progressed. Here are some suggestions Metallica-spit out the bone Anthrax-You gotta believe Megadeth- the threat is real Slayer-Repentless Exodus-Salt the wound Death Angel-The Moth Testament-the Numbers game Overkill- Electric Rattle snake I think you’ll be blown away with what these guys in they’re 50’s are still doing these days! It’s pretty amazing
Yep. Anthrax was the band that got me into thrash metal. Now, Alex, you're ready for Overkill. Check out Evil Never Dies, from their mighty "Years of Decay" album.
Anthrax is a more light-hearted East Coast thrash band, while Metallica, Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Testament were West Coast thrash. Another great East Coast thrash band that's been doing it for years is Overkill. Check out one of their classics, Elimination. I've been a metal fan for 34 years! \m/ \m/ th-cam.com/video/svi6JiMe9c0/w-d-xo.html
Agreed, but I would argue that out of the Big 4, Anthrax last two albums were better than anything the others have released in years. Since Joey's return Anthrax have really up'd their game.
I agree their last 2 albums were good and better than anything Slayer or Megadeth has released lately. But I liked Metallica's "Hardwired...to Self-Destruct" better than both of those Anthrax albums. And I'm a fan of all of those bands.
YEEEZZZ!! Another old school metalsong!! 😎 It's a honor for me to walk along with You through the world of Metal!! 😉☺ So damned nice to see, how much You love it!! So keep on rockin' and have a dope fuckin' time!!!!
shaitanlavey I'd never say Painkiller is bad but yeah I don't like how everyone wants that when it's the most polarizing vocally and it really doesn't represent Priest's style.One Shot At Glory is more akin to Priest's trademark style while still kicking ass!
love Anthrax they are my favorite from the big four. But what I really like about your videos is how you always have an opinion about the topics this songs talk about and that is a proof of how deep are the lyrics of the majority of metal music I really really enjoy metal lyrics
I wouldn’t call this your last pillar. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax are called he big four because they are the biggest thrash metal bands ever. In my opinion any metal band you see is a pillar. Especially the original metal bands because they influenced all the future bands in some way. You should really find a band you really like and start listen to more of their songs. I loved Iron Maiden and now I own over 100 Maiden songs (on iTunes) and I have seen them live. You shouldn’t make reaction to every song. If you really want to be a metalhead listen to the less popular songs in your own time.
I graduated high school in 1991, so I grew up during the perfect time for metal, straight through the 80s and early 90s. It really was an amazing time for music in general between metal coming into its own and where rap was at the time also. It was just a crazy decade for music. As far as more selections from Anthrax, Among the Living is an amazing song, based on a Stephen King novel called “The Stand”, I am the Law is another great song, based on the Judge Dredd comic books and Caught in a Mosh is a crazier song, though really good. Of those three, Amkng the Living is my Favorite and Caught in a Mosh is last, though still a great song. Other songs from other artists I’d love to see you do is Orion or Call of Cthulu from Metallica. Both are instrumentals but they are fantastic songs. Also, check out Pull Me Under by Dream Theater...it’s a great song to introduce yourself to them.
Anthrax is part of the Big 4 of THRASH Metal specifically bro. Which is a sub-genre of Metal as a whole. However Big 4 of METAL in general in terms of influence and historical importance then I would say; 1. Black Sabbath 2. Judas Priest 3. Iron Maiden and 4. Metallica
As much as I love both Iron Maiden and Metallica they are not among the four bands that had the most impact on metal. There is a reason that IM is in the new wave of British heavy metal. Besides Sabbath and Priest it's Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Without those four you wouldn't have the metal we have today.
Yeah, Joey Belladonna is a criminally underrated vocalist! He's only gotten better with age. Check out him doing "don't stop believing" with steel panther! Frickin awesome!!
Yes, there was some nonsense. Anthrax is not one of 4 founders of metal. Metal is 50 years old, while Anthrax is 37. The big 4 your'e talking about is big four of thrash metal. The major pillars of metal are Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, others will also mention Motorhead, Saxon and some more bands. Black Sabbath are considered by many as the first metal band ever and you have to listen to them! Read also about their guitarist, Tony Iommi. When he was 18 he lost in an accodent 2 fingertips and still became one of the greatest and most innovative guitarists, he is called master of heavy riff and godfather of metal. Black Sabbath are next on your list! Obligatory!
Talking about the big 4....its tge big 4 of THRASH METAL. Not heavy metal or just metal. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer ans Anthrax are the big 4 founders of THRASH Metal. Get it right
None of those bands mentioned were thrash..the big 4 are the big 4 of thrash, with Slayer being the fastest / hardest / heaviest. You could also add in Testament, Overkill, Exodus to that list. The bands you mentioned, while still metal were quite a bit weaker than thrash metal except for Venom, which was more linked to one of the foundations of Death metal though not quite full blown conceptualized death metal as refined by Chuck Schuldiner and Death.
Just a little background info. The big four are not the founders of metal, but the big four of thrash metal. They had a huge influence on the metal in the 80s with their speed and without them metal wouldn't be the same today.
Yeah I just stumbled upon this somehow and love it! Grew up in the 80s listening to metal glam rock and stuff. Awesome era! Wish I was a tad older than to enjoy and respect more of it.
Indians by Anthrax! So much energy in a classic of metal Congrats and greetings from Mexico! Less than a week and now I’m a great fan of your reactions
MEGADETH is my personal #1 metal band of all time. The musicianship is what always brings me back for more. Most fans hate changing band members...but in Megadeth's case, I think it's what makes them such a diverse band. With 15 stutio album's and not one of them sounding similar to another, it's amazing. Btw the founder of Megadeth Dave Mustaine was an early member of Metallica and he wrote 1/2 of Metallica's dabut album.
Sean Wechsler Wow.. You sound as if you have always preferred Megadeth to Metallica...And there was more they got from Mustaine that they did not credit him with.. But He had plenty more for us With Megadeth.....
Don't know if you will see this post since the clip is from two years ago. I found you channel a few days ago and love it. Been watching every chance I get. I kept thinking what no Anthrax. Loved the band since the beginning. Finding this clip made my day. I suggest that you listen to their song Caught in a Mosh. One of my many favorites.
Spreading the Disease was the very first Cassette tape I bought for myself. Before I relied on copies of tapes, borrowing them, having someone mix something up, etc. I rode my bike down to the sam goodys, I think it was, and bought it. I was blown away. 86, I was 13. It was kind of a cool time. Since music was so hard to find, when you got a tape of something, or someone made you a tape, it was a BIG FUCKING DEAL. To be able to listen to it when you wanted (although with some fast forwarding and rewinding, oh wait, which side of the tape was that song on again?) was pretty cool.
That's right Alex Anthrax the number 4 of the Big 4 Thrash Metal Bands. People will always Argue about getting Testament in the Big 4 instead of Anthrax. So check this one really powerful Testament - More Than Meets The eye
Like Muzumush said, the BIG 4 is the four heavy hitters of the Thrash Metal sub-genre. Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. Thanks for this awesome reaction! keep it up!
I'm glad you liked this shit, Hefner... especially since I myself was locked away in no less than TWO psych-wards during the '80's... when I was a Child... ... however... THIS song in particular I consider to be one of Anthrax's most iconic of the 1980's... especially to Me, Myself... having been born in that decade. Keep up the work, Hefner... you are showing the world not only how much ass Heavy Metal kicks... but most importantly... WHY it kicks so much ass!!
Unleash the Archers- Awakening (full band playtrough) It's not like I've been suggesting this for months or anything... (You've barely got any female vocalists on here my man)
Lehkazz hell yeah! Their first and the best album in my opinion. Almost every song from there is absolute gold. I tried some other albums of CoB but that wasn't near as godly great as this one.
Metal Monkey Don’t think so. Maybe because the don’t like euphoria album in general(. Btw, the funny thing about antisocial is that Anthrax performed it way more times than Trust
I heard this song a long time ago but i didn't know what it was called as i was small and dumb so i didn't hear this song for a long time and now i'm finally reunited with this song so thank you Alex Hefner
Intro To Reality/Belly of the Beast is what got me into Anthrax. Still my favorite song. Their old webmaster told me recently that Scott Ian used part of an AC/DC song, Fling Thing, for the instrumental part in Intro To Reality, and it was an old Scottish song, Bonny Banks of Loch Lomond. After listening to the song below, go listen to Intro to Reality. th-cam.com/video/GFiOjH1M-FA/w-d-xo.html
John Leonard Yeah, I know but there are some fans + the band itself who really don’t enjoy this one as much as Among the living, persistence of time, spreading the disease and even Sound Of White Noise
I live near the singer, Joey Belladonna, have a bunch of mutual friends and people we've both played with. Really nice, humble guy. Has a cover band he plays drums with locally, they're fucking great.
You hit the nail on the head - we don't want this political corrrectness bollocks! If people don't want to hear something etc - switch over, very simple! Early Anthrax - class! I've only seen them live once and they were awesome! Fab vid as always Alex!
More Anthrax please! Alex, you should try something form their latest album "For all kings", because Anthrax is now musically the strongest group out of the Big 4 :)
Mihau Talaska Anthrax has been putting out great albums since Joey Belladonna has returned as their lead singer. Megadeth has put out one of their best albums in a long time with Dystopia.
Don't get me wrong, the Alive In Athens version is amazing but I always miss the chanting towards the end of the song and am kinda hoping he would do the original studio version.
ok the THREE BEST songs of Anthrax are these: - One Man Stands - The Enemy - Armed and Dangerous Everything else is good too, but these are the best. Madhouse is good but not amazing. Bonus (insanity related songs): Sanitarium - Metallica; Sweating Bullets - Megadeth.
As a lot of comments already mentioned the big 4 refers to thrash metal. I can recommend the documentary get thrashed if you want to get some of the background and get to know a few more influential thrash bands. And if you have a taste for documentaries a guy named Sam Dunn has made several feature length documentaries as well as a series where each episode discusses one particular genre of metal.
Alex Love your attitude toward music!!!!! I am a Metalhead but I love lots of other music as long as it has something to say or makes me feel something! I do prefer it hard and heavy! You should check out THE PROPHETS OF RAGE!!! Also Anthrax has two eras and the John Bush stuff is really great, a little different butt is still Anthrax!!!!! And the best of the big 4 Anthrax , slayer, the first four Metallica, and mega Seth!
Matt Schreiber Dude the muta fuckin PROPHETS OF RAGE!!!! I saw them twice and love them!!!! So underrated!! John bush era is still great! Different but still anthrax and they still kick ass! Worship music and for all kings are both great!!!! You know your metal🤘
I've heard this song about a hundred times but this is my first time seeing the music video haha. Some lesser known Anthrax bangers: Armed and Dangerous, Panic and Only! :)
Anthrax is the fun one of the big 4 of Thrash. The one that got me into metal, and have seen them live a few times. Worth it every time. Surprisingly, 2 unbelievably good albums published in the last 10 years (Worship Music and For All Kings). Worth a listen. Check out the songs In the End from worship music, or Monster at the End from For All Kings for a taste of their newer sound. Of their old stuff, I Am The Law, Among The Living, Keep It In the Family, or for pure fun and silliness Milk (Ode to Billy) or something like that :) Then, of course, is their song Bring The Noise, which is one of the earliest examples of rap metal, with Chuck D from Public Enemy
I'd make an Anthrax suggestion, but It is impossible for me to just think of one. Been a fan forever now, heck I even enjoyed Anthrax with the other vocalist!
Exactly, couldn't agree more. Great album all around on that one. Totally surprised me when it came out I decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed.
Glad you liked them. For an interesting song from their past, take a listen to I am the Law. For more resent, The Devil You Know or Blood Eagle Wings (Warning: kinda gory). For other great older metal, take a listen to Testament - Electric Crown, Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots or Territory, Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down, Trip to the Brain or even Nobody Hears. Can't wait to see more, take it easy!
There is also a re-recorded version on the album The Greator of Two Evils. It's a best of album with re-recordings of their best songs. clear purchase recommendation
Dude! Anthrax was the FIRST band to colab with a Hip-Hop act. Gotsta get yo Metal + HipHop on!!!! Check out Bring the Noise with Public Enemy!!!!! Anthrax also created RapMetal in 1987 with I'm the Man! These boys paved the way for something new and exciting. Bring the Noise showed that the two styles work perfectly together. Hip-Hip/Rap engaged with intercity and disenfranchised black youth, and metal does the same thing.
Painkiller by Judas Priest. Gotta do it man.
Sayonil Mitra DEFINITELY!!!!
But can he handle it????
+1. definetly check out this masterpiece (Painkiller), bro!
It will be hard Headbanger!!! I still remember when I first heard it. That voice...
beyond the realms of death and painkiller are two priest songs you HAVE TO LISTEN TO ALEX, DAMMIT.

Anthrax was my first concert. And to this day, nothing compares. Been to a lot of metal, death metal, thrash metal shows. Anthrax is unparalleled

I think you should react to the most recent songs from these bands a see how they’ve progressed. Here are some suggestions
Metallica-spit out the bone
Anthrax-You gotta believe
Megadeth- the threat is real
Slayer-Repentless
Exodus-Salt the wound
Death Angel-The Moth
Testament-the Numbers game
Overkill- Electric Rattle snake
I think you’ll be blown away with what these guys in they’re 50’s are still doing these days! It’s pretty amazing
Dude holy shit I agree with everything you just said
The last 2 Anthrax albums are amazing!
Since youre more of a hip hop guy try listening to anthrax and public enemy- bring the noise
Everyone seems to love that song, I think it's an awful song, that and I'm The Man '91
Good or not, it was still a staple in music that have been instrumental in a lot of good, and terrible bands.
When I was a kid playing gta vice City I used to steal cars and drive around with the metal station on just to listen to this😂
Yes mate 😎😎
Yep. Anthrax was the band that got me into thrash metal. Now, Alex, you're ready for Overkill. Check out Evil Never Dies, from their mighty "Years of Decay" album.
React to "Indians" From DVD Chile on hell pleaseeeee!!
WAAAAAARDANCE🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction! Anthrax was one of my first ever metal bands.
They did a collaboration with Public Enemy, btw... 😉😎
Anthrax really rocks the live shows. Joey interacts with the crowd so well.
Anthrax is a more light-hearted East Coast thrash band, while Metallica, Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Testament were West Coast thrash.

Metallica - The Four Horsemen
Megadeth - Mechanix
Die Saubazis - Clash of Clans it's the same song by two different bands with different lyrics!
Actually both are good.
Headbanger Pastor Dan I know :^) Let him choose one😂
Mabye remove Headbanger Pastor's comment and wait for his reaction while listening to the second one :D
Man i say this everyday
Lol yes
The creak with the doll!! We used die watching this video!! I love the beginning and the stretcher rolling down the hill LMAO
Big four of thrash metal more specifically but yeah Painkiller by Judas Priest has to be next!!!
Why does everyone request this song? JP has TONS more awesome material than that stinker.
beyond the realms of death is better
I agree but it’s just one of those songs that you have to listen to man.
shaitanlavey I'd never say Painkiller is bad but yeah I don't like how everyone wants that when it's the most polarizing vocally and it really doesn't represent Priest's style.One Shot At Glory is more akin to Priest's trademark style while still kicking ass!

Talking about the big 4....its tge big 4 of THRASH METAL. Not heavy metal or just metal. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer ans Anthrax are the big 4 founders of THRASH Metal. Get it right
Venom was around before any of the "big 4" thrash bands, they should be given way more credit for establishing a foothold for the others to build on.
None of those bands mentioned were thrash..the big 4 are the big 4 of thrash, with Slayer being the fastest / hardest / heaviest. You could also add in Testament, Overkill, Exodus to that list. The bands you mentioned, while still metal were quite a bit weaker than thrash metal except for Venom, which was more linked to one of the foundations of Death metal though not quite full blown conceptualized death metal as refined by Chuck Schuldiner and Death.
Just saw them live on Friday............they played this....crowd went absolutely crazy! so so good!
Just a little background info. The big four are not the founders of metal, but the big four of thrash metal. They had a huge influence on the metal in the 80s with their speed and without them metal wouldn't be the same today.
This was my era and so many metal bands not just touring big stadiums but small shoeboxes and gave the same show amazing times
We are still waiting for *Ghost*!
Go for either Square Hammer or Rats first and then Cirice!
Klatix cirice with the gf. And i am a fan of ghost but not of the rats song. More fan of year zero.
I comment Ghost Ritual on every one of his videos hoping he will get the hint haha
Klatix I agree!!

Can you react to I’m the Man by Anthrax? Lol it’s a funny song 😂
Shopping Jackie Bring The Noise featuring Public Enemy would be good as well.
This is definitely one of the most funny songs in metal history, is a must
If I remember correctly, I'm the man started their move to rap metal. Sound right?
Andrew Martinez no man it's dick!!!!!(oh ooooh ) (MASTER!!!)
YES
Duuudeee, Anthrax & Public Enemy - Bring the noise!!! You're gonna LOVE IT!!!!!

Sean Wechsler Mustaine CO-WROTE 4 of the 10 songs from KEA. That’s less than half
Sean Wechsler
Wow.. You sound as if you have always preferred Megadeth to Metallica...And there was more they got from Mustaine that they did not credit him with.. But He had plenty more for us With Megadeth.....

Brìlliant reaction to brilliant song. Can you do Caught in a Mosh by Anthrax cheers bro keep it real 🤘🤘
Stephen Caveney thank you Stephen!
I'm glad you liked this shit, Hefner... especially since I myself was locked away in no less than TWO psych-wards during the '80's... when I was a Child...
... however... THIS song in particular I consider to be one of Anthrax's most iconic of the 1980's... especially to Me, Myself... having been born in that decade.
Keep up the work, Hefner... you are showing the world not only how much ass Heavy Metal kicks... but most importantly... WHY it kicks so much ass!!

Lehkazz yessssss what an amazing song!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Lehkazz hell yeah! Their first and the best album in my opinion. Almost every song from there is absolute gold. I tried some other albums of CoB but that wasn't near as godly great as this one.
CONGRATS Alex!!! You've now listened to the thrash metal big 4!
React to Anthrax - Bring The Noise
Federica Iannnuzzi this
Yes! Love Anthrax. Under rated band. Great band, great songs, great music and great covers of Got the Time and Bring the Noise. Great reaction bro.
I'm guessing this song won because Antisocial is a cover and not their own original song?
Metal Monkey
Don’t think so. Maybe because the don’t like euphoria album in general(. Btw, the funny thing about antisocial is that Anthrax performed it way more times than Trust
No, it’s because Madhouse is better
Bhiner1029
For me Antisocial and Indians are better songs than Madhouse. But I respect this one cause it was the first Anthrax song I’ve ever heard
Андрей Белявский same, I still love it
Metal Monkey it also won because Caught in a Mosh wasn’t on there
Alex please do more Anthrax anything from them is amazing have a dope ass day my friend!
Give slayer another chance
I would suggest seasons in the abyss... That's a good one to get you interested in Slayer
Dead skin mask or seasons in the abyss
Yeah
I recommend "Whisper in the abyss" mashup of careless whisper and seasons in the abyss :') it's beautiful
Yeah, Seasons of the Abyss! Nothing compared to Raining Blood..
I heard this song a long time ago but i didn't know what it was called as i was small and dumb so i didn't hear this song for a long time and now i'm finally reunited with this song so thank you Alex Hefner
Love anthrax!!!, love your vids!
Johan Schilt thank you! ❤️❤️
Dude!!!!! You have to do a reaction to breathing lighting by anthrax. A very influential song for me. I love anthrax!!
Finally someone who likes Anthrax...
Thanks
Also react to Belly Of The Beast.
Anthrax's best song
I endorse this 10,000 percent.
Catman DUU Be All End All and Among The Living would also be good choices.
Nolan Void
My favorite is Indians but I love their whole catalogue including their experiments with hip-hop
Intro To Reality/Belly of the Beast is what got me into Anthrax. Still my favorite song. Their old webmaster told me recently that Scott Ian used part of an AC/DC song, Fling Thing, for the instrumental part in Intro To Reality, and it was an old Scottish song, Bonny Banks of Loch Lomond. After listening to the song below, go listen to Intro to Reality.

John Leonard
Yeah, I know but there are some fans + the band itself who really don’t enjoy this one as much as Among the living, persistence of time, spreading the disease and even Sound Of White Noise
Also keep up the good work bro. You are by far the best reaction channel!!!
Can you react to I am the law, caught in a mosh, or Indians next please?
Haha. I always love when you do the little “wooo” when your digging the song 🤟🏻
If you like solos you definitely have to do Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold👌🏼
or scream
Yes
I was a sophomore in college in 85. . I remember buying this on Vinyl at Rolling Stones records in Chicago. Still have it lol . \m/
Make Them Suffer - Ether
I live near the singer, Joey Belladonna, have a bunch of mutual friends and people we've both played with. Really nice, humble guy. Has a cover band he plays drums with locally, they're fucking great.
As i lay dying-the sound of truth
As I lay dying-the sound of truth
As I lay dying-the sound of truth
Thank you for this video. I was really hoping you would do this one.
Am I the only one who wait to see some Mastodon raction? :)
Sasa Kanjuh IRON TUSK.
OMG! Scott has hair!!! Anthrax rock!!! I've been a fan since the early '80's.
Marilyn Manson just dropped "Cry little Sister" a cover from the "Lost Boys" soundtrack. You should react to it.
acy0029 you beat me to it man. How fkin crazy good is it? It's unreal.
I heard it too. Not bad.
he wrecked that song and turned it to shit
Yeeeeess
I just watched them live an hour ago lol. Currently waiting on Slayer. This concert has been awesome. Every band has been spectacular
Judas Priest - Painkiller. The metal gods demand it!
You hit the nail on the head - we don't want this political corrrectness bollocks! If people don't want to hear something etc - switch over, very simple!
Early Anthrax - class! I've only seen them live once and they were awesome! Fab vid as always Alex!
More Anthrax please! Alex, you should try something form their latest album "For all kings", because Anthrax is now musically the strongest group out of the Big 4 :)
Mihau Talaska I agree Anthrax gets better with age. The last two albums are fantastic. I'm 44, I've been listening since Fistful of Metal.
Mihau Talaska Anthrax has been putting out great albums since Joey Belladonna has returned as their lead singer. Megadeth has put out one of their best albums in a long time with Dystopia.
For fucking sure. For All Kings is a masterpiece. I would recommend You Gotta Believe, that song is so fucking killer.
Finally!! bout Frak'n time.
Should have started with Among the Living. But.. that's just me.
yeeeehhheess brooo! you’re finally getting there! this iz da real deaal ma man!
Dude you gotta do Dante’s Inferno by Iced Earth
MetalHead018 Absolutely!! Especially the Alive In Athens version.
Don't get me wrong, the Alive In Athens version is amazing but I always miss the chanting towards the end of the song and am kinda hoping he would do the original studio version.
One of my favorite bands. Got every album. Listen to Suzerian from the last album in 2016. Drums are insane.
ok the THREE BEST songs of Anthrax are these:
- One Man Stands
- The Enemy
- Armed and Dangerous
Everything else is good too, but these are the best. Madhouse is good but not amazing.
Bonus (insanity related songs): Sanitarium - Metallica; Sweating Bullets - Megadeth.
US Patriots Unite! The enemy is criminally underrated! I would take that or A.I.R over madhouse any day
You are great. Keep up bro. Greats from Switzerland
Bury Tomorrow - Earthbound!!!
As a lot of comments already mentioned the big 4 refers to thrash metal. I can recommend the documentary get thrashed if you want to get some of the background and get to know a few more influential thrash bands.
And if you have a taste for documentaries a guy named Sam Dunn has made several feature length documentaries as well as a series where each episode discusses one particular genre of metal.
Alex
Love your attitude toward music!!!!!
I am a Metalhead but I love lots of other music as long as it has something to say or makes me feel something!
I do prefer it hard and heavy!
You should check out
THE PROPHETS OF RAGE!!!
Also Anthrax has two eras and the John Bush stuff is really great, a little different butt is still Anthrax!!!!!
And the best of the big 4
Anthrax , slayer, the first four Metallica, and mega Seth!
Matt Schreiber
Dude the muta fuckin
PROPHETS OF RAGE!!!!
I saw them twice and love them!!!! So underrated!!
John bush era is still great!
Different but still anthrax and they still kick ass!
Worship music and
for all kings are both great!!!!
You know your metal🤘
Dude, you have so much to hear yet!
Try "Nothing more - this is the time (ballast)"
"Dream on dreamer - don't lose your heart"
If you love melodic vocals I’m telling you....The Amity Affliction....
I've heard this song about a hundred times but this is my first time seeing the music video haha. Some lesser known Anthrax bangers: Armed and Dangerous, Panic and Only! :)
Nice, can I get a heart?
Lars Darrell ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lars Darrell you lucky hahahahaha
Alex Hefner yaaasssss
Anthrax is the fun one of the big 4 of Thrash. The one that got me into metal, and have seen them live a few times. Worth it every time.
Surprisingly, 2 unbelievably good albums published in the last 10 years (Worship Music and For All Kings). Worth a listen. Check out the songs In the End from worship music, or Monster at the End from For All Kings for a taste of their newer sound.
Of their old stuff, I Am The Law, Among The Living, Keep It In the Family, or for pure fun and silliness Milk (Ode to Billy) or something like that :)
Then, of course, is their song Bring The Noise, which is one of the earliest examples of rap metal, with Chuck D from Public Enemy
Of Mice & Men - Second and Sebring, Pain, Bones Exposed, or Real.
This one of the first songs I learned after I got my first guitar lol I was really into the 80s metal
I'd make an Anthrax suggestion, but It is impossible for me to just think of one. Been a fan forever now, heck I even enjoyed Anthrax with the other vocalist!
Sound of White Noise is a fantastic album. Great vocals even without Joey.
Peace
Exactly, couldn't agree more. Great album all around on that one. Totally surprised me when it came out I decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed.
Brent Mileham Anthrax with John Bush always seemed like Armored Saint covering Anthrax.
Noting wrong with that either way :P hehehe.
UOAbigail LeVey lol I like that & yeah definitely nothin wrong with that for sure!
Glad you liked them. For an interesting song from their past, take a listen to I am the Law. For more resent, The Devil You Know or Blood Eagle Wings (Warning: kinda gory). For other great older metal, take a listen to Testament - Electric Crown, Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots or Territory, Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down, Trip to the Brain or even Nobody Hears. Can't wait to see more, take it easy!
It should be "The big 5" and not big 4...Testament has been constant since the start.
Yeaaaaaaah! Thank you, brooo!!!
Can you react to BRING THE NOISE von ANTHRAX feat. PUPLIC ENEMY??? Would be cool
Flight Fan 05 DUDE FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA
mad song dude this band is awesome. your one of us now metalhead life
great song check out Indians and metal thrashing mad :) if you like anthrax
I only like anthrax and megadeth from the big 4 :)
Indians is a must listen, awesome tune.
There is also a re-recorded version on the album The Greator of Two Evils. It's a best of album with re-recordings of their best songs. clear purchase recommendation
Dude, you need to give 36 Crazyfists - Slit Wrist Theory a listen!
Medusa is my favorite Anthrax song. Its just sung so fluent and dreamy.
Still waiting for u to react to meshuggah, bleed.
Man.
Dude! Anthrax was the FIRST band to colab with a Hip-Hop act. Gotsta get yo Metal + HipHop on!!!!
Check out Bring the Noise with Public Enemy!!!!!
Anthrax also created RapMetal in 1987 with I'm the Man!
These boys paved the way for something new and exciting. Bring the Noise showed that the two styles work perfectly together. Hip-Hip/Rap engaged with intercity and disenfranchised black youth, and metal does the same thing.
Also hearing Scott Ian spit rhymes is still a delight to behold
