"We're gonna tell the world that everyone needs to listen to Living Colour!" I love that. And so true. Anthrax is perhaps the most open-minded metal band of all.

This series is the best thing on KZfaq.

I once met Anthrax and I have to say they were the most down to earth band ever, no ego just very good to their fans.

My wife was recording at a studio in NY with a few classial musician colleagues several years ago and as she puts it: "The bald one from Anthrax with the goatee popped his head in between sessions and said we all sounded awesome. He was really nice." "Scott Ian from Anthrax said that? This guy." *shows video "Yeah that's him. He was cool. Who's Anthrax again?"

I would love to see the same series about Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica and thousands of other great 80s thrash bands, cuz I'm enjoying this so fckin much,

This series is so good. It's made me listen to each album from start to finish, which I haven't done in years. I've always known the albums are amazing, but I'd forgotten just how amazing when you listen end to end, rather than just odd songs with my whole music collection on random play. Especially Among The Living. It's an almost impossibly good album.

State of Euphoria..that's my childhood right there..Junior High...I'm a huge Maiden fan but Anthrax for me at least were right up there as well...Love those guys up to this day..and they are still having fun...

Joey is so underrated as a vocalist❤️

These KZfaq videos are the best

10:23 - Joey cracking up about "catching a contact", hahaha!

I'm pretty stoked for the Persistence of Time episode.

I love Anthrax.

Not only my first gig I was allowed to go to with my mates, but my first Metal gig. Anthrax and Living Color at the Hammersmith Apollo... I was 13 at the time. I remember buzzing for a week after that 🤘🏼

Scott Ian will always be the world’s biggest music fan, no matter how prolific his career. This is what makes Anthrax, and the 80’s Metal Scene so unique in all genres. People giving a shit, not putting on airs, and loving what they’re doing every minute...

When you take on tour with you bands like Living Colour and King's X that means you are a badass band. I also love the way the band writes lyrics, simple but at the same time profound. The video (and lyrics) of Who Cares Wins was an eye-opener for an adolescent who was trying to make sense of the world, the important issues, the big picture. For that only I am eternally grateful to Anthrax

These are SO AMAZING!!! A trip back to my teen years for 15-20mins, 3 times a week. Thanks guys for EVERYTHING🤘🤘🤘🤘

Johnny Tempesta! world class drummer & awesome human right there!

Wow! First mention of Castle Donington 1987! Only 2 or 3 episodes too late, but hey. Anthrax were fantastic that day. In fact, they made the day. It was dour, grey, overcast, wet and cold that day, and they really brightened it up. In fact, they kinda blew Metallica off stage. Strange that this legendary performance is overlooked in this excellent series.

Anthrax is the best!!!!!

This is pure gold! Didn't know John Tempesta played the NOT- man, haha. Living Colour and King's X: great bands. I had a blast in the MOSHpit at Monsters of Rock festival 1988 in Germany! Cheerz

I remember seeing them during the State of Euphoria tour with Helloween and Exodus opening for them.

Back in the 80s being a huge fan of Anthrax, I was at a novelty store and found one of those NOT man squishy faces and bought it... Never knew if it was made because of Anthrax or Anthrax just adopted it. 35 years later ..... I finally got my answer! Just ordered an original off Ebay UK. Those are "NOT" easy to find now-a-days.

So cool that Anthrax took a band like Living Colour on the road and made em that much bigger. And I agree, their first album is flawless

this series is so cool. long live anthrax.

Anthrax and Kings X in Cardiff was my first gig and after hundreds of shows, it's still one of the best.

I saw the tour for this album in 1989. It was part of the Headbangers Ball Tour at the Long Beach Arena, with Exodus and Helloween supporting. Great gig!

Seeing Anthrax with Living Colour on this tour in the UK was amazing - one of the best gigs I ever saw

Living Colour are fucking awesome. Kings X are great too.

About 15 years ago, I introduced my son to Anthrax. He was around 9yo, but after listening to several albums, he said "OK, this is like 'Smart Metal'. It's fast, and heavy, but not evil and satanic. I LIKE IT!" For the record, it was at this time I introduced him to "OLD Metallica", and he was floored. 80s thrash just blew his mind in general.

Frank needs to be studied, he's found the secret of eternal youth

Finally! A Suicidal shoutout. Big ups Joey. Hope you guys put this out on dvd after its all said and done. Best doc of the yr

My first ever live gig was Anthrax in Belfast, Avoniel leisure centre with Testament in support. Second time was Bangor, where Scott and Joey came out front for hours to mingle with the fans. Totally class act. Loving this series.

State was my 1st Anthrax record, i was 15, got into Metallica's And Justice for all..than that opened the doors to thrash , a few weeks later i got the cassette of state of euphoria and listened to it religiously on my sony walkman, than went back in time and bought spreading the disease and Among the living, Im the Man , i was hooked, i got to see them 3 time's in Toronto, Anthrax rules!!! State of Euphoria has a special place in my heart. Especially Finale!!!

Who if anyone in a sane state of mind would downvote these clips? Oh the humanity!

My first Anthrax gig with Living Colour in support was fantastic!!

I'm glad everyone in the band is Alive and Happy.

UK support was Kings X. Saw the show in Bristol. Was blown away by Kings X and by Anthrax. Both bands have been an integral part of my life ever since.

Thanks to this series, I have rediscovered my love of Anthrax! Scott, I got the special edition Bungle disc last October - you tore that up proper.

Anthrax is so NYC street, they can’t help but keep things real and level, which makes this so enjoyable. When I finally met Scott and Frank in real life, they were just like they come off as in these videos, totally level.

best band of my youth and now. love the big four but anthrax holds a special place these videos are my therapy THANK YOU ANTHRAX

I bought this album Sept. 1988. I walked into Hastings and they had a huge display with the album cover and all. I snatched up the cassette quick. I took it home and learned how to play Antisocial quick. Great memories.

I'd like to hear more from Spitz. He was an integral part of the group. Otherwise, enjoying these vids.

Oh, man... I'm loving these videos. Can't wait for the next Episode... Way better than Game Of Thrones!

What I love about Anthrax is the guys in Anthrax .. the coolest guys in music.. heart and soul.. they just appreciate life , it's ups and downs

That first living Colour album truly was perfection. Great band.

Well fuck it here it is again ^^. Finally saw you guys live on this tour. Hammersmith, London. Living Color set the place on fire, then you guys came on and gave us a major kicking. All night I was waiting for Caught In A Mosh, had to wait for the first encore. The next few minutes are a blur. My brain caught up with my body and I found myself sprinting down the side of the venue. Staff were all distracted by the pit and I had a clear run. Up on stage, grinned at the crowd and started moshing like a loon. 10 seconds all going well, 20 seconds in I start thinking I might be getting away with this. 30 seconds in the hand hits my shoulder, I stop flailing as there were some fine ladies in the front row, suddenly I realise this guy is jumping on my back, so I went for it and started stomping. That was when I saw the microphone. I will always remember the tender way Joey screamed into my ear "You crazy English Motherfucker". He stayed there for about a minute alternating between singing and yelling in my ear. Then it was over, Joey jumped off he was at work after all. I turn throw you guys 🤘🤘 and exit stage front. Head first of course. I was 17. Still a Highlight of my life. Love you guys, Keep On Spreading The Disease.

Joey, when he says catch a contact, on the way by... is EVERYTHING.

I absolutely CHERISH these videos!!! I was a teenager during the 80s - new high school and didn't know anyone. My friend gave me a copied cassette of WASP the last command right before I moved away, I had never heard anything like it. When I started school I got in with the metal heads to keep from getting beat up and the rest is history. (side note: a guy on a Harley rode by while I was typing this comment blaring "For Whom the Bell Tolls"... Hah!!!)😀👍

Tempesta is Anthrax family and only the old fans knows it. So glad you mentioned it. Also theres a great footage of Anthrax live at Donighton where at the end of the live they tear up and break the Speakers...you should have put that in this episode!!

1:37 Definitely. Dan's style always reminded me of Randy Rhoads ever since I saw Anthrax live in 1984. He needs to come back.

Best Era of Anthrax. Best album. I was there.

Love this documentary 😊😊😊

Damn, I remember going to a record signing at a Tower Records in Southern California for State of Euphoria! Huge lines, tons of fans. I remember Mr. Ian drove himself. That shit never happens these days!

Tempesta's a BEAST.

Really lovin these trips down memory lane with Anthrax.. Sooo many awesome stories and origins being answered. Of the big 4, I would absolutely have to say Anthrax(all eras)have made the biggest impact on me as a musician not to say the others haven't... They definitely did, but Anthrax remains my #1. So glad they're doing these videos... Thanks guys... for all of it... ☠🤘☠

Even if the album was rushed.....it still effin' crushes to this day! That opening riff in Finale is just nasty \m/

Another BANGIN' Episode... these are seriously GREAT! Such cool FunFacts direct from all these guests and you dudes

fabulous! this series has pretty much been a walk down memory lane for me! Loving it so far guys.

Fuck these are so damn awesome. I have smiled, laughed, and relived the moments when each album was released, every time I watch an episode. Bring on lucky 13.

Metallica was the thrash band everyone loved. Anthrax was the thrash band everyone needed. Love you guys.

reliving the last 40 years of Anthrax has been one of the best things about 2021! the smile on my face & in my heart with each new video (& re-watch) grows bigger & bigger. I've re-ordered so many CDs (yes, my car has a working CD player) that I might have to take on a 2nd job...LOVE YOU ALL

i agree this is amazing, thankyou anthrax for being the amazing talented band you are and for not taking shit so serious, will never forget meeting you guys at an instore signing in new zealand persistence of time tour and i kept going back in line and managed to get both sides of the album, full size i am the law poster and my S.O.D shirt signed... my heart dropped when scott picked it up and looked at charlie and said should we sign this?? and the whole band laughed and everyone signed it! heres a tip for you kids out there when you get a shirt signed.... don't wash it!

I really appreciate the fact that the whole bunch of people who in anthrax have been mentioned or involved in these videos, I know we haven't seen Rob yet and the early early guitarist (who is always on KZfaq complaining about Scott and the fact that his real 2nd name used to be rosenfeld,) and how he is the one who wrote most of fist full of metal, but yeah, thanks for doing this lads, it's great to hear from the people who are the band and the history behind everything, wish we could get something like this from slayer, sepultura, testament etc, but I doubt dave lombardo would like to work with kerry King again, but you never know.

iM GOING TO CHECK OUT aMONG THE LIVING RIGHT NOW AGAIN, i WAS SO BLOWN AWAY BY sPREADING THE DISEASE & WHEN i HEARD THE NEXT ONE i WAS DISSAPOINTED ,IT SEEMED TO COMMERCIAL FEELING,TOO TAME. will check it out again

This series. Is so good, takes me back to skating and listening to State over and over

John Tempesta is SORELY underrated. Dude is a KILLER drummer \m/

Scott: We got ozzy to do that Ozzy: were the f*ck am I and who are those dude in those f*uckin shorts.

Thank You guys for doing this series it brings back alot of memories. I even will forget the time I approached Scott on 45th and Broadway on my way home from work and he shunned me! I forgive you. I have loved this band since 87 and still do!!

Great series!!! And agree with another earlier post, these are getting me to revisit the albums and listen again and it's been.a great trip down memory lane. I'm surprised they didn't mention the HBB tour they did with Exodus and Helloween in 89 for SOE.

My 1st concert ever. 13 years old, Birmingham NEC with Living Colour! Absolute class!

It just keeps coming. Thank you so much :)

Best episode yet! Thanks guys💋⚡🎸

10 pm in Bristol England watching anthrax life is good

Anthrax is one of the Best bands Live and I have seen and worked alot of shows...... Can't wait to see you all back out on tour.......

This Band kicks ass! Haven't seen them since 89 or 90 . But..... I'm going back just a bit older.....

I saw Infectious Grooves support Anthrax on the 'Stomp 442' tour in Australia. I'll write more about that show if they ever get to that album on these videos. Because it was a doozy.

Thank you guys for talking about this ❤️

Thank you for putting this up on youtube 🖖❤🎸🎼🎵🎶🎶👍🤙

Lovin this series, can't wait for the next one!

These docs are fantastic. I love all these stories and and the beginning of some of the lore.

This series is amazing. Over two hours of content so far with the band, friends and colleagues telling stories from the heart.

First time I saw them was opening for KISS. I was 12. All I knew was Indians & I’m The Man. They were so heavy and their energy was great. I became a fan that night

Anthrax is definitely the best thrash band in the world

This series is awesome. Great to hear the stories from all the members and their friends/peers. I’ve been lucky enough to meet all of the original members a few times. They are exactly as they are in this series, down to earth and really in it for the music and their fans. All are amazing musicians.

This was the first album of Anthrax that I heard. Big fan since then! Anthrax doesn't have a bad record. Good to know they are still going strong to this day. Lovin this series of videos!!

Loving these...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I will watch all of these vids!!! Anthrax rules!!! Keep them coming, uh, please.

I binged all the episodes this week. I love this, definitely leaning a ton about Anthrax🤘🏼

Love these guys and love the series

Charlie with the sworn enemy shirt ftw

Absolutely ❤ it...

I was today years old when I realized that Scott Ian's NOT guitar has no frets where it says NOT. I assume it's to signify that he is a rifflord and not a shredder. Similar to the way Max Cavalera only puts the top 4 stings on his guitar. Awesome.

I begun being Anthrax fan with "Penikufesin" and then "State". In my oppinion, "State" is the 2nd best álbum after "Among". I really miss those times! Thanks, brothers! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹

Haha, next wednesday. I love this! I'm tuning in :) Man do these webisodes bring back memories!

These just get better and better.

That Not Man ad was in an issue of Circus in 1985 for Spreading. I took that ad and Scotch taped it on top of my brown paper bag book cover for my civics book. Greatest book cover ever!

That Helmet tour was epic as well.

Pretty amazing they made such a unique complex album in such a short time. There is nothing wrong with it. Its PERFECT!

Never stop this series.... !!!!

Nothing commercial about them sound wise kust sometimes legit bands are so universal that people feel them whom have all different types of taste. Living Colour man. Epic tour
