Dan Nelson is already a legend, and not necessarily in a good way. Like Gary Cherone or Blaze Bailey, he’s going to go down in history as a dude who was hired to be the new singer for a well-known band, only to get the boot fairly quickly; unlike Cherone of Bailey, the work he [...]
Reader Greg Heerdt has helpfully pointed out that Amazon is now listing an October 20, 2009 release date for Anthrax's Worship Music (or, at least, some import version of Worship Music - the previously announced European release date was October 23). I've reached out to the band's label, Megaforce, to see if there's any truth [...]
Yesterday, Scott Ian tweeted a response to Kerry King’s accusation that Anthrax have “been in pieces for quite some time.” The tweet pointed towards a recent, possible one-off reunion show with John Bush; I eagerly hoped it was a sign that Bush is coming back to the band for good.Well, we still don’t know if [...]
Some of you may already be sick of all this Anthrax nonsense, but I am not. In fact, it is entirely possible that I am enjoying even more than I am enjoying the Fear Factory drama. Probably because I actually care about Anthrax.So. Reader Aleksander Sobecki sent us a link to this inteview with Scott [...]
Doesn’t Scott Ian seem like a really swell dude when you see him on TV? He’s not Lars Ulrich, who comes off as such a prick that when you hear he really is a prick you go, “Yeah, that makes sense.” If my only knowledge of Scott Ian was his VH1 appearances, though, I’d wanna [...]
Simon This is an excellent article by Simon Napier-Bell.

So, I showed up about a week late for the party and made one of those Meez things. While making it, I ran into the same problem I always hit when I use a service that lets me create a "digital me" - my goatee.Most of these services allow me to specify a goatee, but they all seem to think that I look like some boy band member. Personally, I'm shooting for Scott Ian in the growth department, not ...
It never ceases to amaze me. Every time a radio station "changes" their format, they actually believe that their station is different from everything else that is out there or, that was done before. I keep seeing commercials for this supposedly "new" radio station here in New York called, 102.7 Fresh FM. More like stale, lame, same old bullshit to me. They play the same crap no matter what ...
JUNE 29--Closing arguments are scheduled today in the trial of the former Oklahoma judge charged with indecent exposure for using a penis pump (among other really gross acts) while on the bench.

Stomp 442I know a lot of peeps dig Belledonna's vocals the best with them. I Think Bush was a hash but pleasent change IMO. There is something kind of cool about Johns vocals compared to the other singers they've had. I heard Dan Nelsons stuff, I'm not to hip with him on vocals. I'm hearing Bush might be back. Don't know why they got rid of him in the first place, "Among the Living" is one of m...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Microsoft Corp.'s attempt to take over Yahoo Inc. has become so tortured it may help Internet search and advertising leader Google Inc. grow stronger, undermining Microsoft's main reason for pursing the deal in the first place. ``We find this to be a very advantageous situation for Google,'' Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Derek Brown said Thursday. ``The longer this gets dragged...
