ANTHRAX Guitarist SCOTT IAN: 'The Reunion Is Over' - Jan. 24, 2007
BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received the following statement from ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian:
"Finally, we're going back to work. We're going to Chicago to work our asses off and write a record. It's time. We're ready. One problem... no singer.
"We were offered a direct support slot on a major tour this spring and Joey [Belladonna, vocals] decided he did not want to move forward. The reunion is over. We tried to make it work but I guess that's the problem, you can't 'make' something work. It's gotta be natural and at least becoming a band again and playing live was.
"Over the course of around 140 shows we became a better band than we ever were before from 1984 - 92. The shows we played from April 2005 through October 2006 were incredible and some of the best gigs we've ever played. Doing Donington again was mind-blowing, Graspop was insane, the insanity in Finland, Chicago, Milwaukee, three times in L.A.!!!, three times across Western Canada!!, Glasgow!!!!!, London!!!, the Nokia show in NY, the Starland show in NJ, JUDAS PRIEST!, ROB ZOMBIE!, Gigantour!!, Australia!!!, Japan!!!!!!, really, there's not a bummer in 19 months.
"Thank you from the very depths of my soul for being the best fans in the world. We got to relive something that I never thought we could and it turned out better than I ever thought it would. We didn't have to force it, it just happened and it was great.
"My curiosity was piqued by the idea of what ANTHRAX would sound like now with Joey singing. Over the last few months we've discussed this endlessly to no avail. The problems that were there could not be fixed no matter how hard we tried and in the end Joey made the decision.
"I know a lot of you out there are disappointed by this and that's the last thing we ever want. None of us want to disappoint. If we were meant to make a reunion record we would've. Some things look easy on paper but the reality is that they are impossible and what works for one band doesn't work for others. Maybe we could've forced something and cashed in on a new record but that's not the way we operate.
My reality is I feel we have some unfinished business with the 'We've Come for You All' lineup and I will do my best to finish it.
"I hope you can find it in your hearts to support all of us in whatever happens going forward.
"Charlie [Benante, drums], Frankie [Bello] and I are excited about creating new music and for now we will focus on that and write another killer ANTHRAX record."

Noh toivottavasti Bush suostuu tulemaan takaisin.
Harmi, kyllä Anthrax Beladonnan kanssa olisi hieno nähdä uudestaan. Oli sen verran kova keikka viime huhtikuussa. Enkä mä toivoisi enää Bushia takaisin, jotenkin ei vaan nappaa itselle BUsh-era, eikä edes kovasti kehuttu TGOTE, vaikka toki biisit ovat ässä kamaa. Joten joko joku aivan uusi naama laulamaan kovaa ja korkealta tai sitten lopettelemaan. Ei Bushia enää vetämään grungea 
Lainaten itseäni marraskuulta, kun en jaksa vuoden takaisia (aiheellisia) pirujen seinille maalailua kaivella topicin keskeltä:
Hah, näin juuri pitääkin käydä! Scottin viestin loppu on aika ilmiselvä, mutta rahanhimossaan tekivät aika paskat Caggianolle (jolla nyt ei liene läheskään suurta väliä saada takaisin, toisin kuin) & Bushille, joten nyt riippuu THE MANin suunnitelmista Armored Saintin suhteen.. WCFYA:lla homma jäi tosin mahtavien liven & klassikoiden studioliven jälkeen pahasti kesken hyvän vauhdinmie wrote: aika sivuheitto, mutta eipä olisi yllätys & tervemenoa, puhumattakaan ongelmista Spitzin kanssa, joita olen manannut tulevaksi siitä sekunnista kun luin tästä paskareunionista. Milanon henkisesti jälkeenjäänyt läskipäähän tosin ennusti tämän reunionin ainakin 1,5 vuotta ennen sen julkistamista 'äijiltä rahat loppu = actionia ' -periaatteella. Tosin samassa syssyssä povaamaansa 'Benante & Ian will come crawling to kiss my ass to reform S.O.D.' -juttua ei ole (ainakaan vielä..) näkynyt.
Kasarikokoonpanon uusi CD:n on mahdottomuus. Niin ei vain tule käymään.
Kusivat aika huolella yli kymmenen vuoden hienon (IMO paremman!) musiikillisen perintönsä päälle, mutta no worry, JB ei ole niin katkera etteikö jelppisi Charlieta, Frankietä & Scottia eteenpäin soitellen eläkepäiville.

Hmm... Sinällään olisi mulle kova juttu tuo Bushin paluu, mutta on hieman kyseenalaista tämä veivaaminen bändin suunnalta. Kuitenkin Anthrax Mr. John Bushin kanssa olisi varmasti jotain elämää suurempaa, itse olen enemmän kyseisen herran kuin Belladonnan kannalla. Olisin siis tyytyväinen mikäli Bush olisi valmis tulemaan takaisin.

Bush pysyköön tästä draamasta erossa, ihmettelen suuresti jos vielä lähtee leikkiin mukaan. Kehdanneeko Scott & Charlie enää kysyäkään. 
Mielellään olisi kyllä kuullut Belladonnaa vielä studiossakin, livenä oli todella kova. Nyt pillit pussiin vai vieläköhän etsivät uuden miehen ja pystyttävät Anthrax Mk.IV:n... en olisi välttämättä ihan täydellisesti ajatusta vastaan.

Seuraavaksi savustetaan siis ulos Spitz, jolla ei Joeyn poisjäännin myötä olekaan bändissä jäljellä juuri muita kavereita kuin Bello. Dan tuskin muutenkaan jatkaisi ilman Belladonnaa, varsinkaan Bushin kanssa, se tuli taannoisessa haastattelussaan varsin selväksi.Scott Ian wrote:My reality is I feel we have some unfinished business with the 'We've Come for You All' lineup and I will do my best to finish it.
Käsitykseni mukaan bändissä eivät ole varsinaisia jäseniä muut kuin Scott, Charlie ja mahdollisesti Frank, muut ovat ikään kuin palkkamuusikkoja. Samapa tuo, Scott on itse sanonut, että Anthraxin ura Bushin johdolla oli saavuttanut kaupallisen pohjan. Mielenkiintoista nähdä mihin tuosta sitten enää voi jatkaa

^ Sellaisen kuvan olen Anthraxin puuhista bändiä seuraamalla saanut, että kyllä nuo Ian & Benante ovat aina siellä takapiruina puuhailleet, ja taitavat herrat muodostaa kaksin sen todellisen Anthraxin sydämen. Ei siinä mitään, etteikö klassinen kokoonpano olisi täysi tykki. Totta helvetissä ja Among The Living on maailman parhaita levyjä.
Kävi miten kävi, all hail Anthrax & Scott "NOT" Ian!

No enpä mitään demojämiä oo laskenu mukaan. En tosin muista noita demovokalisteja sitten nimeksikään.tsorl wrote:Turbin, Belladonna, Bush, kolmeen asti minä pääsen.
Mikäli johonkin demoäijiin mennään niin luovutan.

Bush - MK3
Belladonna - MK4

Tollasella lähinnä menin. En nyt ajatellut pistää että nyt äskeistä kokoonpanoa olis ollu jotenkin Mark 2:ksi jonkun 13 vuoden jälkeen, heh.
Sekavalta tosiaan vaikuttaa tämä Anthrax maailma, toivotaan että pakka saadaan taas kasaan mahdollisimman pian. Bush takaisin ja huippu lättyä kehiin...toisaalta olisi kyllä helvetin mukava kuulla uutta Armored Sainttia, mutta katsotaan mitä tuleman pitää

JOEY BELLADONNA: 'I Would Have Loved' To Have Recorded New Album With ANTHRAX
- Jan. 25, 2007
Mark Carras of RockMyMonkey.com conducted an interview yesterday (Jan. 24) with ex-ANTHRAX singer Joey Belladonna. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
Rock My Monkey: Okay, so I guess Scott Ian [ANTHRAX guitarist] has made an announcement saying that basically you guys were preparing to record, they wanted to record a new album, and basically he says that he doesn't make any specifics, but he said that you made the decision not to record the album, and not to continue with it.
Joey Belladonna: I haven't really done anything really, to be honest with you. It's really not my group so I don't, I really don't want to comment on any of that, really, to be honest with you. I think it's all insane what's going on. It's not my band.
Rock My Monkey: But was there talk of recording a new album?
Joey Belladonna: They want to do a record regardless. That's been the whole plan. They have to have a record sometime. They need a record, right?
Rock My Monkey: Right, right. Absolutely.
Joey Belladonna: Regardless they would do a record sometime. Whether it was with me or somebody, ANTHRAX was going to do a record, I would assume.
Rock My Monkey: Was there any choice by you, was there any decision by you, or even an offer made to you to record that new album?
Joey Belladonna: I'm sure there's possibilities for me to do a lot of things. It's just — there's always a lot of circumstance that they place when you're doing it, When you do that stuff. I don't think that you just make a record, you know? Unless you're in a situation, you've been, you know, it's a just an ongoing thing, you've been doing it for years. Like the old days, you just kind of go in and do one. It's obviously a little different, because I wasn't in a band for quite awhile. Likewise thing with same Danny [Spitz, guitar], too. I'm not even the only one to be considered, but I don't think it's all about me.
Rock My Monkey: But you're saying that you would be… Would you be excited to record a new ANTHRAX album?
Joey Belladonna: Oh, absolutely. I would have loved to do one, yeah. I mean, but again, and all due respect, there's a lot of circumstances that take place to do that kind of stuff. There's a lot of things involved. Just think about it, you know. You have to have material, you have to have a reason. You have to have everything. You have to have a place to do it, the circumstance. All the basics have to be there. Again, it's not for me to decide any of that stuff. So I don't decide it. It's not my band. And you have to know that I was not there. I wasn't in that band. They asked me to come back and do a reunion. So that's about all I know. It's hard for me to really answer anything specific here.
Rock My Monkey: Now, it sounds like, I mean, there's a communication problem, because you're sounding like you… it sounds like Scott Ian put out an announcement before everything was really talked over with you. It sounds like you really aren't aware of this.
Joey Belladonna: Yeah, I mean, regardless of how aware of things I am, if they want to move forward regardless of things in place for them they're going to do that. They can do whatever they want. Likewise, really. That's what it boils down to. Again, I really, it's too hard to make light of everything that needs to be done, and anybody's case, really, unfortunately.
Rock My Monkey: Would there be, for you, is the door always open, is the door always open to return to ANTHRAX? Did the reunion, did the way that this ended this time, did it put any kind of bad taste in your mouth? Are you always open and excited to return to that microphone?
Joey Belladonna: Well, I always will. I mean, god, it didn't take me five minutes to say yes to something. It's just, when you're doing that type of thing, it takes a lot of people to put it all together, I think. It's not just me. There's other people involved, and they have to enjoy the circumstances, and have to know they want to go ahead. I think when they first started, I think they were trying to be real careful, of doing it how much they were going to do it, and how long it was going to take place. And I think, with all due respect, I think we did a good run. Eighteen months was a nice chunk of run. It was pretty lengthy. Some bands maybe would have done two months, and then they end it. They do that one run, and that was cool. Then again, it's not a problem. I just can't predict anybody's path and what they want to do, and how they want to do it, and whom they want to do it with, you know? It goes with anybody's band, I think.
Rock My Monkey: Is there going to be a full solo Joey Belladonna solo tour coming up? What can fans look forward to hearing from you over the next year?
Joey Belladonna: Just right now, I'm just in the beginning stages of doing something. Just carrying on musically. So I'm just going to keep busy as much as I can. I don't know right now what I'm doing, or what's happening. I am, there is a band in place, and I am trying to take it on the road for sure. Everything is open. It's all open.

Promokuviin kelpuuttaminen, mihin Paul Crookia ei siis koskaan otettu, voisi olla yksi hutera mittari; ainakin yleistäen on ollut bändijäsenyyden selvittäjä. Esmes. Dio, Appice & Grijalva Angry Machinesin kannessa antaa luulla Jeff Pilsonin olleen jälleen vain sessiopohjalta liikkeellä. Crookista vielä jatkaen, jopa 1990-luvun lopun kiertueilla nelimiehinen 'thrax poseerasi kuvaajille vaikka tämä mm.

No, ehdinpä kuitenkin nähdä bändin kerran sillä parhaalla kokoonpanolla. En usko että Bush enää suostuu tulemaan takaisin, vaikka ei se itseäni haittaakkaan kun en ole ikinä Bushin kamasta innostunut. Ja hyvähän se on, etteivät ne keinotekoisesti yritä tuota reunionia
jatkaa vaan pysyvät rehellisinä itselleen.

Tätähän mä noiduin koko Re-Unionin alussa; Jätkät laittoi nyt itsensä sellaiseen kulmaukseen, mistä ei ulos tulla. Ellei Mr. Bush( Maailman kovin ) ole jalomielinen ja liity takaisin Anthraxiin.
