I know there are gonna be some comments that "I didn't even know they're still around" or "they suck" but I love Anthrax and have been a fan since the beginning, and have always stuck with them through good and bad...
For those interesed the new lead singer for Anthrax is Dan Nelson and he was recommended by Rob Caggiano...
This is the latest from blabbermouth but I got this info days ago from Scott and Charlie directly since I am a nerd and still in their fan club \m/ -_- \m/
ANTHRAX has issued a press release officially announcing its new singer, Dan Nelson (as first reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET back on December 6). Nelson (Photo#1, Photo#2), 32, is a virtual unknown, having fronted several local bands in the Long Island/New York area, including DEVILSIZE and ME, MY ENEMY. Drummer Charlie Benante says, "Rob [Caggiano, ANTHRAX lead guitarist] called me and said, 'I have a singer, you should check him out.' We gave him a shot, and he floored us."
(to be continued)... After a successful reunion tour with returning vocalist Joey Belladonna in 2006, there were rumors of recording a new album with that lineup. However, talks fell through and the band was left, once again, without a frontman.
"I was actually looking for a band," commented Nelson. "Long Island is a pretty dead scene. I was in UNBROKEN, and through that I met Rob a couple years ago. I had gone through some stuff on a personal side where I took time off from the music. When I got back to the scene, I couldn't find a band, so I contacted Rob through MySpace and offered my services. We sent music back and forth, got together, and jammed for 10 hours straight. After 10 hours, he said, 'I think you'd be right for ANTHRAX."
"There's no place else I'd rather be right now," Nelson said. "It's a great vibe. I feel great, and I'm ready to go. It's lit that much more of a fire under me. I'm getting to live the dream, and it feels amazing... sounds like it may work...I look forward to it NOT! I like Joey...but okay, at least they're still rockin'. I'll put myself under "cautiously optimistic". I was hoping that Bush would come back, but oh well. At least we might get some new material soon.
NP: "War Pigs" - Black Sabbath Scott Ian is the only one in Anthrax that has any talent - other then that, the rest of them aren't much different when you hand an instrument to a little kid... Wait! , so what happened to Spitz? Anyway , i'll check the new stuff out.... |
