I've never seen an anthrax fan
They're in the big four, right next to Metallica and Megadeth, but never in my life have I seen someone say that they like Anthrax.

I've never heard someone talk about Death Grips out loud in real life before and I've spent a lot of time in like 10 different major cities in the US

>>128084031 (OP)
No one actually likes Anthrax. I don't think I've ever met anyone who owned an Anthrax album or learned an Anthrax riff on guitar. There is probably not a single person on this board who could name even one of their songs. Their status as one of the 'big four' alongside three enormously popular and influential bands seems questionable at best. I always thought Testament or Exodus or even Kreator should be up there instead of Anthrax.

I am an Anthrax fan

their only good songs are covers of either rap or Joe Jackson

>>128084031 (OP)
they have some decent songs, but their albums mostly bore me.

I wonder if they were just really popular and trendy back in the day but everyone just forgot about them

>>128084318
They were known. I remember one kid at school used to play them on his walkman. The only conversation I recall was about what anthrax is, this was before the war of terror we didn’t know about most of this kind of shit or care. They weren’t considered as good as or even close to Metallica or Megadeth, Slayer weren’t as known for a few years back then

America has this stupid obsession with mount Rushmore so you need 4 people for a catagory. They threw in Anthrax just because there was nobody else to make it 4

Sepultura

motherfuck the big 3, nigga it’s just big me

Scott Ian's manager is the most talented member of Anthrax.

>>128084657
American bands only, spic

They needed a New York band because New York is a nepocity and needs to always be included in the culture

You're too young to be posting here If these names aren't painfully cringe to you.

>>128084735
I'm so sorry I'm not an insecure retard like you who's too afraid of liking anything because he's afraid any amount of people might perceive him as cringe

>>128084756
Yeah, you're definitely too young to be posting here. Not everything is about how others perceive you. You'll understand that when/if you grow up.

>>128084824
Funny you say that while you think anyone here cares about how you perceive them

>>128084535
and they're not even good, the other three are, so yeah some jews in suits put them in there for extra cash

>>128084840
Okay, I'm convinced you don't care. You can grow up now.

>>128084031 (OP)
their big claim to fame is kicking off the nu metal sound

not that they really had anything to do with nu metal but every metal documentary ever always makes a big deal about the collaboration between anthrax and public enemy as being the first rap-metal hybrid fusion thing and has scott ian talking about how bring tha noise was really groundbreaking and how it led to korn and limp bizkit and slipknot later on which seems a bit dubious because I don't think bring tha noise was particularly successful or anything but I guess they technically did do rap metal before anyone else

>>128084886
I accept your concession, still gonna listen to Megadeth

>>128084735
>implying anyone under the age of 30 has even heard of Anthrax

everyone itt shitting on Anthrax but at least they have more than 2 songs. the same can't be said bout Slayer

The last time we had this thread somebody pointed out that their inclusion in the big4 marketing was a concession to New York show bookers and it made sense.

there is no big four, its just Metallica

>>128084031 (OP)
I like Anthrax, mostly to spite zoomers who think they know the ins and outs of mid-80s metal history.

>>128084891
They didn't. Aerosmith Run DMC was before that, as was Faith No More. Anthrax did not pioneer nor invent anything.

Anthrax rules

>>128084119
The intro riffs to I am the Law and Among the Living are memorable, wtf are you talking about.

>>128089363
Holy based. Assuming this is correct, it's all over for Anthrax. Out of the big four and into the trash they go.
And they would've got away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids.

>>128084031 (OP)
>big four
30 year old meme

>>128084031 (OP)
Unironically, only tourists don't know Anthrax. They got lots of great albums and amazing riffs, their problem was that they didn't transition through the 90s in a "fashionable" way, like Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth did. The other big 3's albums were so bad that people made fun of them for that, while Anthrax's was just shitty in a mid way, so people didn't find their failure memorable.

>>128084714
Suck our latinx cock, bitch. Sepultura is by far the best thrash band of all time and the only one that produced good shit beyond '91.
