11 Heaviest Anthrax Riffs | Scott Ian's' Picks

Рет қаралды 129,133

Жыл бұрын

Anthrax songs are filled with riffs. Fast ones, chuggy ones, springy ones, nimble ones, catchy ones, moshy ones. Riffs are what rhythm guitarist Scott Ian does best, and while there're plenty of musically nuanced and pleasantly melodic guitar passages in Anthrax's catalog, we asked Ian to pick the 11 heaviest in the band's repertoire. The ones that make you want to bang your head until you pull a muscle. The ones that make you want to punch the drink out of the hands of the dude standing next to you, just because. Watch above to see which riffs Ian selected, and hear him sing them all a capella. Let us know some of your favorite Anthrax riffs in the comments below!

As I get closer to my 60s my tastes in music are intensifying. I have completely embraced Anthrax as one of my favorite bands when I was well into my 50s. It's a shame I can't find anyone who wants to make a band playing this type of music. Everyone here wants to play covers that have been played to death.

When I got older and wanted to play guitar guess who one of my top 4 influences and favorite guitarists are......SCOTT IAN!!! I didn't want to be a shredder I was a rhythm player and he was my biggest influence. Fun fact: I grew up in Elmira NY and he recorded some S.O.D in Ithaca. My youth I grew up on Anthrax, is and until my last breath be always one of my favorite bands, and this video is like a freaking musical time life in my life ANTHRAX IS THE BEST AND MY FAVORITE, I LOVE YOU SCOTT AND YOUR INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE!!!!!

Honestly, I gotta disagree with some of his picks. In terms of HEAVINESS, I'd have to go with (one from each album)... 1. Panic 2. The Enemy (riff under the verse) 3. Skeleton In The Closet 4. Make Me Laugh (stop/start riff before verse) 5. Keep It In The Family (definitely agree with Scott here) 6. Invisible (verse riff after John goes 'oooOOOUUUAGH!!' 7. Drop The Ball (mosh part) 8. Inside Out 9. Think About An End 10. Revolution Screams (outro) 11. All Of Them Thieves

All of "The Horror of it All" is a masterpiece. As a teenager I used to skip through it, now I think its the best song on ATL. Espeacially towards the end. Everyone is working overtime, but Frank's finger picking on that is out of control.
