@Carlos Rasta I love the way you say that as if you've just unmasked the true villain in a classic Scooby Doo episode. Regardless if he wrote the music for a couple of those early songs or not, it's going to take more than a rant video and a cap lock button to prove it 37 years later. SO GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!!!
He was possible the best lead player of the original's. Its hard because Megadeth had so much talent but none stuck around that were from the beginning.
@@Albee213 It's hard to stay with an egomaniac in the same band, no matter how good you are. Either he will fire you, because he's the "boss" or you go on your own. I'm talking about Megadeth, not Anthrax. And about Spitz being the best lead guitarist of the early guys, well there's still Alex Skolnick, Gary Holt and Kirk Hammett.
Absolutely, he used some unique scales & that's something I took in my own playing. A quote he said that I never forgot that he tried to make a song within a song instead of just ripping for the sake of it.
Could talk all day about this album, highly underrated, One of my personal favourites, Killer production, Paul Crook is a gun guitar player and a great guy, met him on tour in Aust. Tracks 1 to 8 are FIRE, play it loud on a big expensive sound system to hear its greatness.
I never knew what happened to Danny and I have always thought Charlie and Scott had something to do with it. I'm glad I was wrong. Its cool for Danny to say what he did in this.
@@mcg5167 Nah, his leads were great on that album - he just played simpler and more bluesy to fit their new direction. Randy Rhoads-style scalar runs wouldn't have worked on most of those songs, although he did throw in a few flashy runs on SOWN.
Scott did kinda diss him shortly after he left saying that most of his solos never fit or were not needed and he said it was really apparent on POT. his solos on SOWN were perfect, I don't care it Charlie hummed a melody or whatever, Spitz delivered.
Absolutely bloody loving this series. So weird, that 94/95 in Europe was an explosion of amazing mental albums. Grunge had ‘peaked’ and drifted, and metal was back with a vengeance.
Can I tell my story? I saw Anthrax in New York City in a large club. I forget which club it was but it was large. Heres the thing though, there was only about 100-125 people there at best. The place could have held 2k-4k worth of people in it. 2 chicks were dead front of the stage going crazy like it was 1984 and everyone else was kinda just watching the show and milling about. I was able to feel the air conditioning blowing in the air. I'm not sure of the year but I remember Crook being the lead guitarist and Chevelle was the opener. Anthrax put on a great show, as if the club was packed and going nuts. They gave it their all. Scott Ian mentioned my Los Angles Raiders shirt because you could see very easily that I was wearing it because the place was empty and Bush was wearing a Boston Celtics tank top. Maybe someone would know the year of this tour. But you could feel it in the air and in your gut that no matter how much people liked the Bush era of music, it wasn't catching on. The club was, by obvious ticket sales, empty and the tour must have been a bust. I enjoyed the show but I knew that this wasn't going to last. It was the last time I saw Anthrax with Bush. I didn't feel bad for them because they still delivered, but it wasn't the Anthrax of the Big 4 type. And to reply to Scott about Grunge hitting Metal hard, it wasn't Metal that got demolished, it was the pop and hair "metal" that got destroyed, like Warrant, Poison, Winger, Firehouse and the like. True Heavy Metal Bands just went back underground and were still popular and loved. Grunge had taken over the popular scene because of the kids that had grown up and had enough of fluorescent spandex Hair Metal. Grunge was new and relatable to them as their rebellion music. All the true Metal bands that started in the late 70's and early 80's still put out killer music and toured and were still in demand, it was just not at the top of the charts. And furthermore, Grunge didn't last that long if you didnt notice.
By far my favorite Anthrax album. When this came out I had started mixing for sports tv shows I blasted this in the studio all the time drove everyone nuts. I was the only metalhead. the 90's were a lonely time for us.
I was in high school 92-96. Wearing my Over Kill, Slayer and Megadeth shirts the entire time. Never once did I waiver from metal. Stuck out like a sore thumb. Didnt care. The more it was hated, the more I dug in
I love this album. I bought the CD and the cassette for my car stereo. Saw them and Misfits on the tour up here in MN. Fuckin love Anthtrax. Own every album!! Horns UP!!
I have never listened to this album, went off em and mellowed into Neil Young et al when Joey left. They were the soundtrack of my teens throughout the 80’s Since this series has been running I have totally got back into the Thrax. Played Stomp this afternoon cos I knew this vid was coming up. Holy shit, where have I been!
As a watch nut, Dan has a good toehold in the watchmaking community & has his own horological podcast. Also updates his Instagram with updates on the workshop he is building. To go from Anthrax, to a hardcore watchmaking apprenticeship, then go solo is badass!
Loved the Joey/Danny and surf boardies days. I switched off after Persistence. My big four were always Sacred Reich, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax and Exodus x
This is my favourite album of theirs, it does exactly what it says on the cover, start to finish. American Pompeii and Drop The Ball are personal favourites.
Sad to hear about Dan not feeling it anymore but becoming a watchmaker made him feel better. Always loved his guitar skills! Stomp 442, I haven't heard in such a long time. I need to revisit that album!
It's good to hear nice things from both the band and Spitz about one another. Especially after some of the silly crap that's been on the internet the past few years.
Another phenomenal episode. The 3 BushThrax masterpieces are still "go-to" albums for me and still in constant rotation on my turntables and cd players. It was nice to hear the inside story on Spitz departure from both sides. Can't wait to experience the 40th Anniversary show from the comfort of my own home.
I was fortunate enough to be the guitarist in the open act on the Australian tour , except Perth , for Stomp 442 . Seeing Cyco Miko and Anthrax everynight was a dream come true. I loved that album , Still do .
This is where bands like Anthrax, Metallica and Megadeth passed the torch to Pantera. Pantera reached no. 1 on the Billboards in March of 94 my senior of High School and metal was very much alive. All of us were thriving for more metal and most of the metal bands we grew up listening to changed. Everyone can roast me on here if they want to, but in the end it was disappointing seeing the metal bands we grew up with in the 80s change who they were in the 90s. To see the bands that made the likes of Among the Living, Master of Puppets and Peace Sells just change completely who they were was sad to me. I am so thankful for those bands when I was a teenage all the way to today because that was an era of music that can never be created again. I'm glad to see all the bands going back to their roots and putting out great metal albums today. The last 10 to 15 years have been awesome with all these 80s metal bands coming back out and kicking ass all over again.
I hear ya man. I graduated high school in 1997. I remember 1995 and 1996 I was especially disappointed in most new releases, not just Anthrax. For me though, being young, I was going back and discovering early Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Mercyful Fate, etc. Mid 90’s metal had to compete with those records for me. These days I’m kinder to some (not all) of those mid 90’s releases, certainly in Anthrax’s case, but yeah - the past 10 or 15 years have been much better.
Seems that a lot of us when exposed to “alternative” and missed metal had to go backwards and rediscover Zep, Sabbath, Rainbow and the like. Funny how Danny wasn’t kicked out, he lost the passion. The first thing people think of when hearing of a change in line-up is “why did they kick him out”. He lost it and wanted to leave. Great series.
@@metaldams78 I just went heavier with bands like Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Sepultura and Morbid Angel. When grunge was kept getting bigger in the mainstream, I just kept listening to the old classic stuff you mentioned and the new heavier stuff too.
Groove metal, stoner metal, industrial metal, nu metal, rap metal were in. White Zombie, Helmet, Biohazard, Body Count, Korn, Rage against the machine, Skrew, Marilyn Manson were coming.
I have been a fan from all most day one, seen them live easy over 30 times, try to listen to anything they do, will be a fan until they put me in a box and throw me in the fire - the older i get the more i keep coming back to this LP. I did not think this was my fav anthrax record at the time but in all honesty i don't think there has been a week in my life for the last 4 or 5 years were i have not listened to a least 1 track off this, if not the full LP - its a monster, i love it, i may have to take a copy of it with me in to the box so i have something good to listen to as i cook. The production is so good and the sound so strong. There is a great use of sayings from different parts of the world used in the words, showing the band to be well travelled and educated in people and what they had experienced in there life's. Much love - its Burns not Barns...
@@PaulCrookMusic That may be it. Do you remember it? Bush nearly got into a fight with security. Frankie fell off the stage. The band walked off stage and Scott came out and talked to the crowd saying it was the craziest show they'd played since Jersey in '82. Then they came back out and took the roof off the place.
THANK YOU, PEDRO!!! You are correct. That was the first solo I recorded for the album. Fun trivia... My opening whammy bar shakes (ala KK DOWNING) were Charlie's idea. Scott was right there and said YES!!! SINNER!!! I came up with the shredding, Gary Moore type licks.
@@PaulCrookMusic haha! amazing!! Thank you so much for the story over that solo! It will always be one of my favourite guitar parts to listen to, it really captures the energy of that song. Love your work Paul!
Stomp 442 was the first album I ever bought with my pocket money at the time. What a blast! I discovered Anthrax with this album and, you know how it is, it became the benchmark for the band's work for me. It is still one of my favourite albums of all times and I knew absolutely all the lyrics by heart (and I am not a native speaker). I even remember writing the lyrics of a song on the blackboard in school just before the English teacher came in the classroom. Great time, great memories and fabulous music to go with!
I think one of the main things I love about these videos is that the band talk honestly about what actually went on behind the scenes. Yes, THIS guy left the band. THIS is why! The record label didn't want us! etc Kudos. Can't wait for the next installment.
hopefully paul crook shows up on this one, love the guy, also this is the first of the bush albums to have dimebag leads, i hope they mention some of their legacy too
I actually spent 1992-95 not paying too close attention to metal. But I found Stomp 442 at the store and of course bought it. Around that time I also picked up Coroner's s/t album and a couple other mid 90s releases...and my love for metal got reignited. Turns out the underground was brewing up amazing stuff in Europe and meanwhile Anthrax was holding steady. Stomp is solid.
You should look her up. People like to dismiss her, but in reality, she's a giant in that industry. It's kinda like putting Herb Alpert in charge of some metal bands. It's just a complete msfire, but every other genre, she's got a proven track record.
Of the John Bush's era, this is the most fun and energic album, and is also a sonic bomb! It feels brutal being driving my car and hearing the power of Charlie's drums coming out from the speakers, specially on King Size and Riding Shotgun, and not only the drums but guitars, bass, vocals. It's just a perfect record.
Such a good album, and I know it never got the promotion it deserved, but true fans knew and loved it!! This album got me through two insane years of my life. Tester, King Size, In a Zone, Riding Shotgun, …. Just thank you for capturing strength in a bottle and putting it on cd for me, because I needed that so much at that time!!!!! Love you guys!!! Love this album. Ps. And the cover IS cool!!
Stomp 442 is my favorite John Bush album..."American Pompeii" is so awesome,, yet a real tear-jerker once you read the lyrics and then look atound USA 2021...
Charlie is one hell of a talent. Phenomenal drummer who plays great guitar where he writes riffs and solos, designs and draws album art and concepts, writes lyrics and more. I always loved his drumming and when I learned about all the rest he does for the band, my respect went even up.
Love Danny... Missed him after he left. But it was hella kewl to learn he became a master watch maker. Then the DII stuff was hella kewl too! 💜 Much love and respect to Danny! 🤘
Anthrax. One of my favs of all time. Some say one of the big 4, USA metal bands. I say one of the top 4 metal bands IN THE WORLD. LOV YOU GUYS, Never stop.
I was in my prime 20s when Stomp 442 hit I remember absolutely loving this CD and wore it out many times over. I was thrilled to finally get it on Vinyl when the Bush era records were reissued earlier in 2021. The sound of that album is absolutely killer and still a favorite of mine that I continue to play regularly to this day.
Much respect to a band that has gone through the mill and are still here to this day performing and still evolving. A lot of people would have packed it in. Big ups to Danny for his honesty, you really sense the love and respect he has for the band and vice versa.
@@dowens3781 Haha, I was gonna say the same thing. Although I do like We've Come For You All better than Volume 8. I was incredibly disappointed with Stomp 442. Along with not feeling most the songs, the sound is just so abrasive. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I hate that album with a passion!
@@taskmaster65 I haven't listened to We Come For You All much - I was too overwhelmed with my own band and doing other stuff in my life when that came out.
I saw them twice on the Stomp 442 tour... was so freaking awesome. I got one of the best pieces of band merch ever on that tour and I still have that dang shirt... and still get compliments on it when I bust it out for a show.
I was loving all the metal pretty much all the music that came out in the 90s was amazing but metal was just amazing in the 90s in my opinion the great s from the 80s just got better every year I thought
Here we go with Episode 19! Thanks for joining us!
Can't wait for the livestream - Details here ANTHRAXLIVE.COM
I'm really loving all these behind the scenes looks, guys.

Dan spitz what a legend…
Cool
Dude…
The two producers wow wouldn’t let them into me shed. They may rob something.
Thanks my favorite band
John Bush is such a classy, positive guy ... and a massive vocal talent.
*He's a fan of Banksy👍🏻*
Amen. Bush gets a lot of unwarranted hate. I loved every recording he’s ever been on, Anthrax and Armored Saint. The penultimate growl.
No doubt he is an awsome singer but anthrax is such a way better band with joey
Nope, Bush forever!
I was a hater of him at first just not really my style kind of dadish but he grew on me
Spitz is the most underrated guitarist in metal. That is all.
He was possible the best lead player of the original's. Its hard because Megadeth had so much talent but none stuck around that were from the beginning.

I miss seeing Danny with the band
Me too, Danny Lilker rules!
@@davedecker1725 hes talking about spitz lol
@@DSchea gee ya think so?😆
Dan Spitz was a huge influence when I started playing guitars back in the mid 80s
@@JBAubry he's a badass for sure!
Danny became a master watchmaker?
That's actually really fkg cool.
The title/idea of Persistence of Time and the song "Time" came from Danny.
Dan Spitz was sorely missed.
I wore this CD out when I was in middle school. American Pompeii is still one of my favorite Anthrax songs. Charlie absolutely kills it on that one.
One of my faves on Stomp 442
Good stuff. Nothing is an earworm too.
That’s def my favorite song on the album. Has been since my first listen. The end just crushes!
Such a good tune!!!
I wish Dimebag was still around to comment on this.
🤘😔🤘
He would say they suck and lost their edge after Among the Living. RIP Dimebag.
@@_zoinks2554 If he thought that than why did he play on several of their albums. Did he think that he sucked too.
@@catmanduu66 I'm just being an ass. If you listen to Pantera's first album you'll find some suckiness there too, lol.
We Would Have Got Alot More Pantera Albums!
The riffs are killer on that record and vocals sound great....enjoyable album.
So good ! They seemed to have a deftones Soundgarden influence and it came out great
Never understood the hate for this album. It's awesome. Some of the guitar solos are insane on this one and the B sides were brilliant too.
I actually asked for a refund the day after I bought it.
This documentary has totally got me back into stomp, what a solid, kick arse album 🤘
Could talk all day about this album, highly underrated, One of my personal favourites, Killer production, Paul Crook is a gun guitar player and a great guy, met him on tour in Aust. Tracks 1 to 8 are FIRE, play it loud on a big expensive sound system to hear its greatness.

Played this album so much and still love it. Butchers are right 'In a Zone' is destroyer. They reached another level on this album.
Perfect example of why Bush was such a great fit in Anthrax
It’s a great album . Nothing is my favorite

Sounds so cocky. Full of swagger! One of MY fav albums.
I think one of the main things I love about these videos is that the band talk honestly about what actually went on behind the scenes. Yes, THIS guy left the band. THIS is why! The record label didn't want us! etc Kudos. Can't wait for the next installment.
hopefully paul crook shows up on this one, love the guy, also this is the first of the bush albums to have dimebag leads, i hope they mention some of their legacy too
He does & they do! /w\/w\
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS yea i saw! it was awesome
@@wewlad2917 Want to see him play a full live set with John Bush singing in salt Lake in my celebrities and live performances playlist??
Sylvia Rhone is actually who killed the 80s metal scene for sure!!! She tried to take down alot of those bands!!
Anthrax Misfits and Cannibal Corpse Stomp 442 was a killer tour 🤘
I actually spent 1992-95 not paying too close attention to metal. But I found Stomp 442 at the store and of course bought it. Around that time I also picked up Coroner's s/t album and a couple other mid 90s releases...and my love for metal got reignited. Turns out the underground was brewing up amazing stuff in Europe and meanwhile Anthrax was holding steady. Stomp is solid.
Coroner rules
PAUL CROOK!!! I love you, man. Thanks for your contributions to some of my favorite Anthrax records.
Love this album! The opening track is sick!!
Right!
EXCELLENT EPISODE...THAT STORY OF THE HEAD OF ELEKTRA SAYING SHE WOULD'NT HAVE SIGNED ANTHRAX MAKES ME SO MAD!!!
Sylvia Rhone, She knew nothing about the hard rock side of the house.
Then she had no business being in that position, thats a petty excuse when your head of a major record label
You should look her up. People like to dismiss her, but in reality, she's a giant in that industry. It's kinda like putting Herb Alpert in charge of some metal bands. It's just a complete msfire, but every other genre, she's got a proven track record.
Best series on TH-cam ! Well done!
I love this album
Of the John Bush's era, this is the most fun and energic album, and is also a sonic bomb! It feels brutal being driving my car and hearing the power of Charlie's drums coming out from the speakers, specially on King Size and Riding Shotgun, and not only the drums but guitars, bass, vocals. It's just a perfect record.
Toss Tomorrow's Dreams in The garbage Turning Jekyll into Hide much quicker
"Anyone can do it but it takes a man" 🎶
Yeah that line gets me going too!
*_Stomp was one of my favs when it came out. I played the cassette so much back then and I actually still have it!!_* 🤘🏻
Such a good album, and I know it never got the promotion it deserved, but true fans knew and loved it!! This album got me through two insane years of my life. Tester, King Size, In a Zone, Riding Shotgun, …. Just thank you for capturing strength in a bottle and putting it on cd for me, because I needed that so much at that time!!!!! Love you guys!!! Love this album. Ps. And the cover IS cool!!
Stomp 442 is my favorite John Bush album..."American Pompeii" is so awesome,, yet a real tear-jerker once you read the lyrics and then look atound USA 2021...
Charlie is one hell of a talent. Phenomenal drummer who plays great guitar where he writes riffs and solos, designs and draws album art and concepts, writes lyrics and more. I always loved his drumming and when I learned about all the rest he does for the band, my respect went even up.
God bless you Butcher Brothers for defending Stomp. Love that album too
Man first Album I bought. Not first I'd heard. Still love it til this day. A soundtrack to me and my mates youth
I'm unconscious drunk and blinded \m/
At the Times i mostly had to cry, but your Music gave me Freedom. Thanxxx🤘
Love Danny... Missed him after he left. But it was hella kewl to learn he became a master watch maker. Then the DII stuff was hella kewl too! 💜 Much love and respect to Danny! 🤘
Spitz is "The Best" guitarist "EVER" in 'Thrax (ntm the "Original"), Super underrated also, his leads & rhythm are the Anthrax sound Period!!!
Anthrax. One of my favs of all time. Some say one of the big 4, USA metal bands. I say one of the top 4 metal bands IN THE WORLD.
LOV YOU GUYS, Never stop.
My introduction and still my fav record by anthrax. Being 13 in '95 and hearing this record kicked my ass!
Heaviest album with Bush by a mile
Absolute killer album and doesn’t get enough credit
I was in my prime 20s when Stomp 442 hit I remember absolutely loving this CD and wore it out many times over. I was thrilled to finally get it on Vinyl when the Bush era records were reissued earlier in 2021. The sound of that album is absolutely killer and still a favorite of mine that I continue to play regularly to this day.
Another solid album with John Bush
Stomp is my favorite album from the Bush years! So many killer tracks on that album!
Killer content!! 442 is still one of my favorites. Anthrax is a major key component of the 80's metal scene.
I Know I'm Being Greedy But My Dream Is To Have Bush And Joey As Two Lead Vocals Of Anthrax At The Same Time .
They did one song together . Ball of Confusion.
Much respect to a band that has gone through the mill and are still here to this day performing and still evolving. A lot of people would have packed it in. Big ups to Danny for his honesty, you really sense the love and respect he has for the band and vice versa.
Their best album with John. Dimebag solos on it too, can’t go wrong.
Actually, it's their worst album with John - Sound Of White Noise was the best so far, and Volume 8 is #2.
Dimebag sucks
@@homerc9101
STFU, silly troll.
@@dowens3781 Haha, I was gonna say the same thing. Although I do like We've Come For You All better than Volume 8. I was incredibly disappointed with Stomp 442. Along with not feeling most the songs, the sound is just so abrasive. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I hate that album with a passion!
@@taskmaster65
I haven't listened to We Come For You All much - I was too overwhelmed with my own band and doing other stuff in my life when that came out.
I've been listening to this album daily for the past two weeks.
I saw them twice on the Stomp 442 tour... was so freaking awesome. I got one of the best pieces of band merch ever on that tour and I still have that dang shirt... and still get compliments on it when I bust it out for a show.
I do love this album!
Another awesome episode. I am SO loving these Anthrax stories...
One of my favorites albums, such power, great sound love it!!
charlie is damn right Anthrax is the one band rom the big four i never said they siold out. thank you anthrax
Love watching these episodes. Can't wait for the next one! It's cool to see these guys smile as soon as they bring up Dime. Man I miss that dude.
My favourite bush era album! Stomp is soooo underrated 🤘🏻🔥
I was loving all the metal pretty much all the music that came out in the 90s was amazing but metal was just amazing in the 90s in my opinion the great s from the 80s just got better every year I thought
