[espquade]

If this is accurate then this certainly changes things quite a bit.

How can you have a reunion when 2 dudes never played with the band, and 2 original members are passed.

Vulgar display of illogicity

No matter how you feel about Zakk Wylde he certainly seems like the perfect fit to cover it. I thought when he was in Ozzy he nailed Randy and Jake's guitar playing perfectly and him and Dime were good friends so I am now actually curious how this is going to play out. Could be killer?

The music lives on no matter what, although it should be called a tribute tour or something else.

no

You may not like this but Zakk is more than capable of doing justice to the songs regardless of how some might feel though.

 

[FormerlyKnownAsMaddnotez]

Shocked tbh considering it was already discussed with Zakk and a no.

But hey. I see both sides, lots of good comments online about the positive side of things. I just think I have to stay negative and say without the Abbot's....No

Absolutely. I have no doubt, in fact I've seen Zakk pull of some insane Dime Solos flawlessly.

Without question. Charlie and Zakk will undoubtedly play the fuck out of those tunes. This guy still won’t be there though. ?

 

[Kidkramer71]

They could call it anterzzy

 

[JackBootedThug]

always felt that Charlie and Frank were the best part of anthrax....

glad me , SDMF38, and hilltopexplosion went to that HellYeah show when they came through Pittsburgh. Good time that night. I missed one of Vinnie's drumsticks by a cunt hair.....and almost went headfirst off the balcony trying to catch it.

Good thing you did not.

Why can't they tour as 'Vulgar Display of Power' or something

 

[JackBootedThug]

yea...that would have hurt...

 

[JackBootedThug]

Why can't they tour as 'Vulgar Display of Power' or something

exactly. it's not Pantera without the bro's....plain and simple.

 

[shredhead7]

zakk can technically play the stuff, but he doesn't have that swing. I know he's a big name, but they should have found some with more Eddie VH roots.

 

[psychodave]

I cant wait to see Zakk doing the high harmonics with a whammy bar. If he uses a LP, it will be nothing more than a money grab for Zakk living in his deceased friends shoes.

Also, no Marshall amps washed with chorus.... I want to see Randalls.

 

[JackBootedThug]

I think Zakk can do it. Just depends on whether he decides to Zakk it up...and how much....Charlie on drums is a great choice imo....
