Wow !!! that was great!!!!! Anthrax played a small club in Boston in 87 or 88 .. Metal Church opened the show ... I was up against the 3 foot stage in front of Scott Ian . I was headbanging so hard i smashed my head on his foot and it hurt him a bit .. he was not mad and gave me one of his picks at the end of the set .. and i Got a drumstick that i still have ..... Im 56 and Lived the Metal scene in Boston 82 to about 91 ( It was great) then had to move away for a bit ...
@@nickfuller20 OMG yes They came out and did a 15 min sound check and played 2 songs before their regular set ... seen MC a bunch ..Going to see MC again on March 21 2024 in NH
It was sad about Mike Howe. He seemed like a great dude and had a great voice for the band. I do like the new guy and new material! I met Paul Bostaph at a drum clininc in Sacramento, great guy, he did a Q and A, played to Disciple and Repentless...he is amazing, as Dette is.
@@hinjurock70 Charles it's that great. Dette is way better. Dave Lombardo is a drum god. Charlie is just generic. He could've been something but he's too busy obsessed with his coffee and toy collecting. That's why anthrax plays small clubs while bigger bands play arenas and headline festivals.
@@louiemontano8789 Way better? Lol Not at all - he's maybe close to as good. I can tell you're not a drummer. Remember, Charlie invented all of those drum beats - Jon is just copying them. Charlie is just as or more technical than Jon, and clearly more creative (he writes most of the music for Anthrax) and also has more groove. And the reason why one band is bigger than another doesn't have much to do with the drummer - the vocals and songwriting are the main factors in musical success in any genre. If success had to do with drumming, than wouldn't Anthrax and Slayer both be much bigger than Metallica since their drummers are technically much better than Lars (and I'm a Lars fan - he plays cool unique creative beats and fills that perfectly compliment the songs, but there's no denying that Charlie and Dave are significantly better technically)? So yeah, that statenment is pretty ignorant and nonsensical.
among the living was the first album i bought with my own money at age 13.. the dude at the music store was annoyed when i approached him because he probably thought i was looking for some hip hop cd but his mood got better quite quickly when i asked if they had any anthrax records.. he called me a good boy 😂 good memories.. Fantastic drumming Jon!
This was the song that made me an Anthrax back in high school. I liked Lars back in the day, but some guy named Charlie Benante kicked my a$$ with the double bass in this song, and all the cool fills...he's a machine. Great cover as well. Like Joey said, it's a rocker!!
This Jon guy is kick ass but to all of those lars haters go and stuff it you don't realize just how much detail goes into drumming any genre really particularly this genre meaning thrash metal so basically what I'm saying is that lars Ulrich is a great drummer
Awesome performance, Jon! How do you do to mute the original drum tracks so your own can be heard as clear as possible? Keep it up, I'd love to see you play 'Orion' someday.
Insanely good, and different seeing a lefty play the drums!! Not knocking lefties ( left handed people not bring political views to the comments!!!).....
He actually plays it better than Charlie B. Yeah I know, I know. But live, Charlie's tempos are all over the place, causing the songs to drag and sound slower than the record, especially faster double kick tempos. Love me some Anthrax though🤘
No such thing as a left or right handed kit. I'm right handed but set my kit up "backwards", basically it's just the toms going right to left smallest to biggest with the floor toms on the left. I prefer the hi hat on my left like righty players but play it with the left hand with my right on the snare, no criss-crossing my arms right over left. Nobody else could play my kit the way it was arranged, said it was like having to drive in Europe on the opposite side of the road with a North American left side steering wheel, fine with me, don't like folks touching my sh!t anyway.
Sorry Jon but I think Hell Awaits is better than Reign In Blood. Yes I know its fast, brutal as fuck. But nowhere near as creative and eerie as Hell Awaits.
It would be cool to go into other Anthrax albums. I'm thinking of songs like Schism, Gridlock, Finale, Discharge, 1000 Points of Hate

was it Mike Howe on vocals then
@@s.f.morris7331 ya he just joined and was soooo good
Scott Ian always used the work "relentless" to describe Skeleton. Watching this it's not hard to see why. Brilliant job Jon.

Incredible playing 🎉 one of my favorite bands and drummers
Love this! A most excellent job! Would love to see you cover "Discharge" and/or "Divine Intervention"!
So damn good! And that sound 🔥🤘
Nailed it perfectly! Even that little bit after the fill @ 5.00 mins where Charlie just speeds up a tiny bit to catch the guitars…..🤘💪
Benante created this unbelievable double bass smash!!!!
Jon Dette perfected it.
@@louiemontano8789
You mean duplicated it - no one tops Charlie.
@@louiemontano8789 Only Jon can play Benante beats!

good memories.. Fantastic drumming Jon!
Killer playing! 💪🏼 killer song! 🤘🏼
Those double kicks are so tight John. I wish I could do that, I'd cover so many Anthrax songs 😅. That was awesome 👌
"Skeletons"!! Yes, man... it's a well chosen one!!
Great job, mate!! I've really enjoyed it...!!
My admiration from Seville (Spain)
🎧🙂👍🇪🇦
🥁
Jon you r on fire!!! Cool song cool cover
I love your videos Jon. they get my hyped and inspired.
OMG this song brought back sooo many memories!!
Killing it Jon!
You nailed it again Jon. Excellent cover😊
Thanks Mr.Dette for the incredible playing, can you do N.F.L., too?
Thank so much again.
flawless.! ♥
You blew charlie away. It's sad when the backup is better than the original. Qudos to you sir, you're the man!
B.S.
Keep them coming Bro!!!
Would love to see you cover some Volbeat. New or old stuff. Compilation of songs? Enjoyed this video 👍🤘
Killer. He's a beast.
But lets not forget that his homeboy Charlie wrote this and can still crush this.
Nice! You should do the Chemical Warfare into Ghosts of War combo next!

HELL YES!!!!!!
Soo Awesome 🥁🥁
Jon ,
Amazing work my friend 😎
That was just excellent! It always takes me a minute to remember you're a lefty.
Excellent
Simply great!!!!!
Yeah buddy!
Awesome!
Wow!!!
You sir are the man!
🤘🥁🤘
nice
🤘🤘
Holy cow!!!!!!
Love to see you play Indians
Joey is actually a good drummer - he plays drums and sings in a cover band for fun in his off time.
He plays drums in "I'm the man" too🤘🤘🤘
@@timjohnson8372
Yes, I know 😎
🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Would love to see you play Death is Certain ( life is not ) by Dark Angel. One of the best thrash / speed metal songs ever. 🤘
This Jon guy is kick ass but to all of those lars haters go and stuff it you don't realize just how much detail goes into drumming any genre really particularly this genre meaning thrash metal so basically what I'm saying is that lars Ulrich is a great drummer
dude i just subbed. Can you do some Vinnie.or Vince Abbott. Im from Dallas. met them a few times, would love to see someone do them justice.
Your my heroe jon!!
Damn, the beaters almost look like they're bouncing off your shins, lol.
New Slipknot drummer!
Today I learned that Dette is freaking tall! :)
Excellent. Hey Jon, have you listened to Infant Annihilator and if so, ever played around with some of their song? Be great to see a playthrough.
ridiculous. two different worlds of drumming...
Fuckin fire man!!!
Não que seja fácil mas ele tirou de boa. Será que já tocou uma do Eloy?
Sounding so heavy, Jon! Are you using some prototype Zildjian Z Custom-style crashes here? They sound killer!
Awesome performance, Jon! How do you do to mute the original drum tracks so your own can be heard as clear as possible? Keep it up, I'd love to see you play 'Orion' someday.
Красиво!
are you covering testament too?? :)
Hell yeah! 🤘

Skeleton in the closet*
I finally found a left handed drummer :). Now I want a left handed drum kit.
No such thing as a left or right handed kit. I'm right handed but set my kit up "backwards", basically it's just the toms going right to left smallest to biggest with the floor toms on the left. I prefer the hi hat on my left like righty players but play it with the left hand with my right on the snare, no criss-crossing my arms right over left.

Doesn't sound as cool with all straight 16ths every time. How Charlie alternates between that and a gallop makes it interesting.
You are not of this planet...direct in the gotha drummer😅
Sorry Jon but I think Hell Awaits is better than Reign In Blood. Yes I know its fast, brutal as fuck. But nowhere near as creative and eerie as Hell Awaits.
True, but you commented on the wrong song.

Ah.
Gotta love John's playing ❤
