[edit] Comments

I understand the aversion to numerous disambiguation pages, but I think this instance fairly screams for one. Am I wrong?

I think it should be Anthrax (band) -- Zoe

Yeah, but it...it is now -- Michael

I agree about the naming, so I've moved it. I'd make a disambiguation page, but I don't have time to fix all the links right now. If Anthrax isn't going to be a disambiguation page, then Anthrax disease should be moved there, and a disambiguation block put in place. Anthrax just quietly redirecting to Anthrax disease, as it does now, doesn't seem like very good thing to me. --Camembert

Dan Spitz was never part of the original Among the Living lineup. He joined the band during the Sound of White Noise album. HawaiiArmo

You have a brain tumour, Dan Spitz left after that album, hes been with the band since Fistful of Metal.

Most thrash metal bands seem to have a picture of band on their page; can we get one for anthrax? Anouymous 11:35, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Nope - Dan Spitz was around long, long before White Noise. John Bush was the only new addition for that album.

The orgin of the band name should be revised, as per Danny Lilker http://billymilano.com/news/Lilker_interview/let_the_truth_be_heard_.htm

[edit] Discography

To tidy the page and in line with guidelines, I'm moving some discographies to pages of their own on Jan 1 unless anyone has an objection. I've already earmarked Iron Maiden (band) and Megadeth and I'd like to do the same for Anthrax. It will make the main article shorter and tidier. Obviously, a link to the new discog. article will be included. IainP (talk) 16:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Done. New page could do with some more wiki-tablification(!) as currently only albums and singles are in table format. IainP (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

on the page, there's no mention of the album they did with UTFO called lethal- why is that

[edit] "Surfer"???

This may just be pickiness on my part but the members of Anthrax didn't wear brightly colored "surfer" clothes until the album State Of Euphoria and even then it was only for the one album, posibly the following tour. But in every picture of the band that I have from 1990 and after they were not dressed this way. If anyone has proof other wise please share it. By the way I am probably not going to bother correcting this in the artical, because as I see it is only a minor detail and it helps to prove the point in the artical that they were different from the other thrash bands at the time. But if someone would like to correct it on their own,that would be good.--Anthraxrulz 08:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Buy the oidivnikufesin (NFV) video which was a live performance off the among the living tour. You'll see the wacky bermuda shorts etc there. Yes they did wear them prior to State of Euphoria

[edit] John Bush? Is he a member of Anthrax or not?

John Bush has been the voice of Anthrax for nearly 13 years and I am confused. Is John Bush a member of Anthrax or not? If John Bush has indeed left Anthrax, then it's a sad loss for Anthrax. This my POV but I believe that SOUND OF WHITE NOISE is their best album. Joey Belladonna left Anthrax and when he left, the band improved 100%. I didn't like their Persistence of Time album and the song, GOT THE TIME was horrible.

Well, if John Bush has indeed left Anthrax, then it's Anthrax's loss.

-It has been announced that the new Anthrax vocalist will be announced at the end of June. As to whether or not it's John Bush, he'd previously stated that he could not do it.

[edit] Proposal Big Four Wikiproject

I have just created the Megadeth Wikiproject. But I think that the scope is too narrow (just Megadeth) and I think that the Metal Genere Wikiproject is too large of a scope to handle everything. I propose that we make a Wikiprject Big Four, or something to that effect to cover the Big Four American Metal bands, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. I'm eger to hear any opinons. Adumbvoget 08:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd go for just a thrash metal project DragonDance 19:39, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New live album?

Doesn't seem to be any mention of it here. [1] Adamravenscroft 19:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current Members

I removed the bit about Frank Bello not touring or recording with the band following the reunion tour since the "recent article" cited was from 2004 when he first left the group. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.127.24.25 (talk) 18:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Former Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno to join Anthrax?

I've heard some rumors and seen various petitions for Di'Anno to join the band, and as a fan of Maiden, Di'Anno did good starting Maiden off, and if he joined Anthrax, the band would appeal to me greatly, don't get me wrong, Anthrax always has been great, but they'll be even better if they got Di'Anno. So will Anthrax be getting him as their new vocalist, or is this merely a pipedream straight out of the rumor mill?--4.154.247.41 05:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

-This was a fan request, but it never went anywhere. Your answer is no.

[edit] We've Come For You All on Nuclear Blast?

That's funny, everywhere else I've checked in the US, WCFYA is on Sanctuary. This needs to be fixed.

No, you´re wrong. Nuclear Blast released WCFYA in Europe. --Hullu poro 19:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Corey Taylor

I was on his page, and in the trivia section it said that he is considering joining Anthrax on vocals? I don't think that that's correct, because he and the other members of Slipknot are currently writing material for a 4th album. Care to clarify?Dark Executioner 23:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner

[edit] Dan Spitz

The article still seems to "confirm" that Dan Spitz is a member of Anthrax again since 2005. This is disputed by the article itself by saying that currently there are only three members of the band. To clarify: The infobox says three, while current members says four. Maybe we could get a reliable source that denies or confirms Spitz's involvement? -64.194.36.55 11:16, 9 July 2007 (UTC) (Motleh logged out)

[edit] Neil Turbin

Hello. Based on a series of reversions done at Neil Turbin, an editor apparently feels that Turbin was the orignal vocalist of Anthrax. I have no knowledge at all of this subject, other than what i have gleaned in trying to clean up the article, so i cannot judge; i have noticed that here and at List of Anthrax band members he clearly is not listed as the original. Is there, however, some way that i am misunderstanding, or some way that he can be considered the original, so the other editor's point can be understood? Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone here can offer. (I'll watchlist this page, so if you answer here that'd be great.) Cheers, Lindsay 14:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
