This is literally the most underrated Anthrax record. Consistently in rotation for years. Bush kills it. Really written for his range.

I blame Volume 8 for a $300 speeding fine! Great album guys!

Everyone needs a Paul Crook in their life. What a humble, positive guy. Saw him play in Meat Loaf’s band about 12 or so years ago. He killed it

This is the best music documentary I’ve ever seen

Megadeth is my favorite band of all time, but Anthrax has always been so consistent. And, out of all the thrash bands, there is no one that has more energy and more fun on stage. They always sound tight. They make strong albums and the last two is some of the best material they've ever written. Don't ever let anyone say they don't deserve a spot in the Big 4. No one is like Anthrax. As a native NYer (Bronx), I always have a soft spot for my hometown boys. Long Live Anthrax.

Very underrated album with a bunch of hidden gems. Stealing from a Thief, Catharsis, Crush, Harms Way, Pieces. It’s a shame the distribution wasn’t there.

IMHO, I've always thought of John Bush as the Metal equivalent of Roger Daltrey/Paul Rodgers- bluesy, ballsy, melodic, powerful. This album, especially Catharsis, confirms it.

I was part of the "Street Team" for Vol 8, I did my best to make people aware...cause it's a banger.

"Inside Out" is heavy as fuck! That song kind of has an "Only" feel during the chorus. That song will always be my absolute favorite song off of Volume 8.

Really need a cup of coffee wish I had a cup of Joe.

I didn't know the story behind Pieces until many many years later. Kinda dismissed the track at the time but now it gives me all the feels. RIP Anthony

I'm a big anthrax fan and never really gave this album a listen. I'm gonna correct this mistake immediately.

I saw them on this tour. I've been to thousands of shows. Played hundreds myself. Pantera/Anthrax 97 is in the top 3 I've ever seen.

Volume 8 is such a powerful record, my favorite record with John Bush. Every track is flawless and I'm so happy I was able to get it when it came out.

CATHARSIS is the best song EVER by anthrax. I‘m not talking about metal song but music wise it’s their BEST song EVER written to this day!!! Most epic ever!!!!

The best from the "other" Anthrax...Bush just kills it in this...

The 90's joke was never, "Who's in Anthrax?" The 90's joke was, "Who's NOT in Anthrax?" Thankfully, they always made it work. 🤘😎🏴‍☠️

Easily my favorite Anthrax record. I played this album for years when it came out. Crush, Harm's Way, Big Fat, Catharsis, Inside Out. So many killer songs.

This thing flew under the radar, but it has some bangers on it... Crush, Catharsis, Inside Out... all are prime 'Thrax slabs.

Volume 8 is one of my favourite all time albums. Even the B-sides and bonus tracks were awesome.

Vol 8 is my favorite Anthrax album. Crush is easily my favorite song of all time.

This may be my second favorite album behind Among the Living. And nobody even knows it exists.

As for Stomp 442 and Volume 8, it's fun to hear from the band members words something like "This album should never be forgotten" or "there are songs on the album that I'm proud of", and yet to witness that since Belladonna came back, the band only makes empty phrases out of these words...

"Like a monster crossing the Hudson River" Amazing album, and Bush crushes again. Big Fat, Stealing From a Thief, Crush, Hog Tied and Harms Way...every one of them on the top of my playlists. This entire album is a shot of Piss and Vinegar.

John and Anthrax is needed right now.. Like Rage against the machine or System of a down. We need Bush/ Thrax one more time

Catharsis is the best Anthrax song EVER! Listen to that drum sound, it's perfect! The snare is so attacking, perfect! Dime's solos are the best.

Catharsis is the best song Anthrax has ever recorded.

My favorite part of the episode is the North Central Positronics shirt Scotty is wearing ... fuck yeah, Dark Tower for life!

This album brings back bittersweet memories for me. I had been living in Mesa, AZ for 4 years at the time, and the first years or so, the heavy music scene in the Phoenix/Tempe area was great, but then it began going steadily downhill in 1996 and by the time Volume 8 came out, everything had pretty much gone to shit and pop punk and ska had taken over both locally and nationally. And personally, I was going through a major depression over a girl I was in love with who rejected me and over my band falling apart. I was also going through an existential crisis thinking about the meaning of life, religion and all kinds of heavy shit like that. I remember sitting on my porch blasting this album, thinking about life and reminiscing about the early 90's. Even though it was only a few years prior, so much had changed for the worse.

I've been a fan since the mid to late-80s and I've learned more about the band in the last few weeks than in the last 30+ years. I love this series!

bro i FUCKING LOVE volume 8, such a weird album but id listen it nonstop on my hi school years

I remember this album coming out... and I remember reading about it coming out in Modern Drummer of all places... got the album... and I loved it. Still do to this day.

I am a lucky guy. I have two copies of this album, the usa, and the japanese versions. Frank's song means a lot to me. My brother was gone at the same period of time. His name, Antonio, as Frank's brother.

I fuckin love Volume 8. Thrashed it so much when it came out. Great memories.

I remember buying Volume 8 from Harmony House. They actually had a metal section in their store.

I killed my relationship with this record! No regrets!!! 🤘👺🤘 Volume 8 Rules!

I know the history of the band during the 90's/00's but if you are a music fan, every album from Sound of white noise with Bush just carried that incredible energy where my benchmark is if an album sounds incredible and then the band tours it and just takes it to another level where you go into the album with a crowd who have all been through the good and bad days, then this is one of the most undersold classics in music. Sound of White Noise tour in the UK was to same sized arenas but a fraction of the crowd but the boys just played a blinder live and the balls on Bush's voice just made live gigs exciting again. Stomp 442 album and tour was even more potet and thanks to word of mouth of fans just needing a good time gig, same venues but more heads and buzz, with a new generation of metal fans loving the big energy, Volume 8 album and tour just confirmed how damn good this band is live as the album/live experience was totally blurred. Even as a support act (which many times I've seen Anthrax live) they just raised the bar for the headline act to pull their balls out of their ass or be destroyed. Just loved the new tone and drive Bush's voice added to the bands roots. Can't work ut if they toured in the UK as support with Motorhead but it was one of the best, balls out best gigs I've witnessed for being in a crowd thinking that this could of been the best gig to have at the end of the world. Big love to this era of Anthrax.

Anthrax/Basket Full of Puppies Tour 2022! Let's make this happen! Belladonna Anthrax headlines, Bush Anthrax opens!

Man, I frikkin’ Love Catharsis. That is SUCH an awesome song. One of my favourite Anthrax songs 🤘🏼

There is not a single album I have ever owned that was played more than Volume 8. It spoke to me in a lousy point in my life. Thank you Anthrax and John!

one of my fav albums - so underrated

I was lucky enough to find Vol. 8 on CD when it was brand new. It was in constant rotation for years. Some of the best stuff Anthrax ever did.

RIP Mrs. Z……

LOVE Volume 8 and still play the hell out it. This record should have been as huge as Pantera's releases at the time... just chock full of brutal grooves and excitement and fun from beginning to end.

Holy hell do i love that album. Alpha male is an absolute killer track.

I found the album in Denmark and it blew my socks clean off! It was simply so fucking heavy and so bloody honest it fit perfectly with my life at that time. I remember sitting at a bar, trying to drink "her" of my mind, at a young age and "A toast to the Extras" kept playing in my head. The perfect soundtrack for me at that time... The lyrics on P&V are just so brutal....to this day I still scream " Drink, Fuck or fight" in my head. Just the other day I quoted this to my boss..." I had a dose of reality with a side of piss and vinegar" and he knew exactly what and who I was talking about. Thank you so much guys for this kick in the teeth. I just love this album and still listen to it at least once a month

This is such a great record. I remember cruising to my record store after school one day and being like, “Wait, Anthrax has a new one?” I bought it and have never stopped listening to it. One of their most solid records, and people who say otherwise have not listened to it . Hard, heavy, aggressive, killer lyrics, goofy at times, truly an Anthrax record in that it does so much. I’m blessed I got to see them with Pantera in ‘97 in El Paso, but bummed I missed any Vol 8 tour because I’d love to hear every single song on this record live. Easily in their top 5 best.

The band was really kicking when I saw them live in cologne. I remember they played an AC DC ( walk all over you) cover and Scott was sooo on fire playing that 😄🤘🏼 Great concert!

I’m gonna say that this record is surprising me. I listened to this two nights ago, and side B is much stronger than I remember. Just goes to show that there really are no clunkers!

Love Paul Crook. He seems so sweet and humble.

Surprised no ones mentionned "piss and vinegar" yet! really love that song... plus it has Cowbell in it!

That hidden track is one of my favorite songs. Note I didn't say "Anthrax songs". I didn't know it was about Frank's brother, but that song always hit me, and now I know the story behind it. I love this documentary and since I started watching it I have been listening to Anthrax every day with a different sense of appreciation.

Gotta say it; Frank seems to be the most down to earth man ever. Much love to all the guys, (and that goes without saying!!!), but if I could only hang with ONE guy from the band all day, I’d definitely pick Frank without question!

Least favorite Anthrax album, but there are some really good songs. Lots of respect to the band for sticking it out and treading through the no fun 90s!

Man, I could watch this everyday of the week, every month of the year.

"Catharsis" - easily amongst the best metal songs ever written!

Among remains my favorite of all time..... I still remember the day it arrived in my record store and I took it to a party of thrash heads and it was played non-stop for the entire weekend. .......BUT in the whole Anthrax catalog ... if I had to pick a 2nd favorite, it would be difficult to pick just one..... but Volume 8 would be one of them. Great album!!! Still holds up to this day.

I saw Anthrax on this tour in Chicago at house of blues. Paul Crook played lead guitar for the show. It’s was so good. I got Charlie’s stick as well.

I stumbled onto Vol. 8 around Christmas time of 1999. I found it at a record store and thought "huh, Anthrax have a new album out." Being a die hard fan I, of course, bought it. After one listen, it blew me away. It's still one of my favorites that I listen to probablhy once a month. After hearing the band talk about label problems, it sounds like I was lucky to find and own a physical copy. My hope is that all these KZfaq clips are pieced together for a DVD or at least played the whole way through before the show next month.

1998... that video from Inside Out man... I watched that uncountable times!!!!!! AMAZING that my favorite band of all time mixed with my favorite tv show ever!

Awesome episode, i wish these were on daily! I absolutely love Paul Crooks Eddie Van Halen guitar collection at 9:46 , so fuckin cool

I love this album. Have been a fan since 88 and loved the Bush era. There is just something so unique about this album. Every song is great.

I saw them at trees, a small club in Dallas, and that show was fucking amazing. The 90s sucked for a lot of bands financially, but I reaped the rewards by seeing maiden, slayer, anthrax all at small clubs. Great concerts. Anthrax destroyed

These are the nicest guys, man. Paul (! not John) Crook is such a lovable, kinda nerdy character. He and John Bush were *part of the band*, but they talk about Anthrax as if actually they were something like their biggest fans. I love it.

I love this album. FAVS: Harms Way and Stealing From a Thief

I love this album. I wore it out with my friend in our senior year of High School. I remember seeing the video on Headbangers ball the new version. Inside out the twilight zone type video. It was awesome. It is without a doubt the most underrated album they have ever made. The riffs and Bush’s singing on the album were killer.

Great series! Glad they are giving Pantera the recognition for working with them in the late 90’s.

I bought Volume 8!!! On cassette lol. And true story: found a box of mix tapes I used to make and that cassette was in there! I thought all my tapes were gone. Somehow the mix tapes and Volume 8 survived!

I want this in-depth a documentary for Megadeth!

Volume 8 is such a great record.......one of their best IMO. Such a shame the label folded and physical copies of it disappeared shortly after. I think Scott mentioned in his book that they tried to buy the music years ago from the label so they could re-release it and got nowhere. Glad it’s available on Spotify so people who missed it when it first dropped can hear it

I like this record a lot, and i truly believe Anthrax made the best albums in the turn of the millenium, compared to the other big 3 of trash.

Johnny z pushed out of anthrax well he's done loads for metal we can never forget him

At the time Vol. 8 came out, I wasn't really into it. Didn't sound like the Anthrax I expected. Now that I'm older, I appreciate it even more because it didn't sound like the Anthrax I expected.

These episodes are so great! I don't want them to end!

Fell for Anthrax in my mid-teens, '86-'87; (they were always my no. 1 as far as the big four were concerned) but the sound and the songs from the Bush era will always be my favourite. Loving the walk through memory lane. Getting to hear new stories and old. Keep cranking out the videos and tunes! Can't wait for the next vid, WCFYA. If I was forced to only have access to one Anthrax album for the remainder of my life, it would be that one. Hx

Volume 8 is my favorite of the Bush years and has some of my absolute favorite songs of theirs. Crush, Catharsis, Big Fat and Pieces are classics. I got to see them that summer or fall and it was one of my top 5 concerts ever. Obviously the crowd was a bit smaller but they played as if 70,000 people were cheering them on. While I'd love to see them play Catharsis in current times, I'm not sure Joey's voice is meant for it. Hey John Bush, please come do a special encore next time I get to see Anthrax!

Love these videos. Keep them coming!

Decent album. Catharsis is so good. 🔥

Love these. Thank you Anthtax

I LOVED volume 8!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I just love you guys ❤️.. Greetings from Bavaria 😎✨

An amazing record! Loooove this record and Charlie's hidden song!!! Not relerasing this album woulded be a profound mistake!

Vol 8is my third loving Anthrax album...

So much respect to these guys!

Layers of feeling. Metal is truly the music of life. Thanks guys :)

So glad to see this much love for Catharsis. Such a great song.

I was an 80s/90s Anthrax guy and seeing and hearing songs from this era is all new to me - it’s like a voyage of discovery

Paul Crook is the man. Love this guy.

What a great saga this is. From Spreading to Fueled...... Please don't stop.

Love these videos y'all.🤘🤘

Love this album. I was lucky enough to find the re-release with bonus tracks.

I cant believe they had a studio in Yonkers and never ran into them!

Seriously one of my favorite albums!

Saw Anthrax on the Volume 8 tour, twice, at the Birch Hill Night Club in Old Bridge, NJ, now defunct. Two of the best shows I ever saw. Bush KILLED IT live.............

Vol 8 came out swinging. I remember popping that cassette in and just the drums hitting.

Love this record! One of my favorites.

I bought this when it first came out,saw a promotion in some metal mag. Anyway,love this album. Borrowed it to people at work and they loved it......but couldn't find it at store's.

Great video! Just bought Vol. 8 on cd recently. Love this album!

I'm so glad that I got this album. For me it gave Anthrax a jump start and a fresh look at the world. Dime gave this album a really nice touch. And John's vocal is so golden

Thanks anthrax another great episode
