Anthrax - It's For the Kids

The tune is decent...But I do not do too well with Joey. Anyone who has a side gig covering Steve Perry can definitely sing. That said, His phrasing and and general vocal style just doesn't really work for men in the context of metal, never really has. It bothered me a bid as a kid on early Anthrax records as well, but the riffs and songwriting were strong enough to overcome it.
It’s grown on me alot .i have zero problems with this song . It sounds a John bush era song with Joey . I like it
 
I used to be a HUGE anthrax fan back In the day and then I went to a SOD gig and saw Scott be a total prick to a teenage kid. Totally soured me. This was back in the mid 80s.

Then I read some of the stuff that Billy said about Scott and it kinda backed up what I’ve seen at a few Anthrax shows.

I will say that I’ve had the pleasure of bumping into Frankie a few times. He’s always been super down to earth and cool with me. He used to work at his uncles Deli back in the day and I would stop by there and he’d be working behind the counter. Got him to sign a bass of mine that I still have. Cool dude.
 
Apparently he's using the same classic era gear he used on the early albums

I've heard some wild stories about Scott, especially concerning fans and how he treats them

All hearsay of course, but still, you're not the only one who's seen him do some shit like that

As someone who's been the dickhead in the band before though, shit happens and people have bad days - it's hard to be "on" all the time, especially with the general public, day after day
