Anthrax - It's For the Kids

[thegame]

Fuck it, I’m making this a no holds barred cage match now. Testament’s The Legacy may be THE best thrash debut album ever. I’m fucking serious.

Whining about Testament’s production prohibiting you from fully enjoying the music and NOT about the sonic abortion that is YOU KNOW WHAT (lol) is unfathomable, untenable and I’m pretty sure, unconstitutional.

as well as regurgitating dirtnap darrels interview from guitar world where he shits on alex skolnick and pretending it's your own thoughts

If we limit it to thrash? Yeah, I can agree with that. It has everything except modern production for babies

What’s this ???

Tech's entire opinion about Alex Skolnick being "robotic" and "just playing scales and the chords" is regurgitating verbatim an interview Dirtnap Darrell did with some magazine or other in the 90s - they became friends later on, btw

While I DO like Dimebag’s playing and consider him a ‘feel’ player, AS plays circles around him and has no shortage of feel himself. I hate robotic shredders and I never considered AS to be one

Correct, that's how I know Tech is just regurgitating that interview and it isn't even his opinion, he's just repeating what dirtnap darrell said because he likes dirtnap darrell and camo shorts and dv and busch ice

Skolnick’s solos were precise, theoretical and extremely thought out, but to see he didn’t play with feel is just fucking ludicrous.

On the contrary, he had feel and melody from the beginning - that's the most memorable part of his lead playing his entire career

That "cinematic" lead part of "over the wall" and the melody foreshadowing in "alone in the dark" come to mind immediately

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.

I met Scott and Frankie about two years ago (Jack Osbourne was with them too) with my daughter. I have a shirt with Cliff Burton on yhe front that says "Cliff Em' All". When we walked up, Frankie immediately said "awesome shirt dude!". I walked over to Scott first and he signed some stuff and asked shst pickup he is using and with low energy he said "JB like I always have" and didnt seem too jazzed to be where he was. Not mean but just celebrity like.

We walked over to Frankie and were joking with him, talking about my band and gear, etc and he was exactly the guy I hoped he would be. We walked away and was still talking with him and left a great feeling wirh me. Jack Osbourne was super cool and down to Earth as well.
