Interesting interview

Tiny mistake though, the album is called Stomp 442 not Stomp 422.

tommyv · May 4th, 2006, 04:58 PM

I'm gonna bite my tongue on this I think.

the_walking_dude · May 4th, 2006, 05:03 PM

If you'll give me a lighter, I'll burn it in front of you, how about that? I spit on it. I call it a last chance effort to do something to be honest and brutal, I'm not gonna sugarcoat stuff. To me it's a cover band doing songs that I wrote, it hurts me and I know that it hurt Joey the most, more than me, for me it's a cover band, if it sells a million then send me a cheque in the mail, but for Joey as a singer, oh boy, whoever thought this idea up, if it was a manager or somebody, not a good idea. I don't think the fans kinda liked it either, not the true fans we'll say. The true fans are fans like you who will show their cousin, their younger children Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, this is really heavy metal, it comes from them, not a record company, this is the band you go to see, would you go send them see that or the reunion of Anthrax, what's real? It's like Iron Maiden, with the other singer, not Bruce, him doing a bunch of old Iron Maiden songs, it's a cover band.

He would be so much easier to like if he would just shut the fuck up.

when you read a spitz interview you have to take it with a pinch of salt. Anyways i dont mind rob but he only did one album compared to dans 6 and did average solos on it to be honest, and i to kinda saw him as a "hired guy so to say". And i lost any credibility for him after his interview on that sad RBC site. I dont like TGOTE either, was a silly record to do as it would never ever be better than the originals. Im looking forward to people blowing completly out of proportion lololol

Yeah, maybe when we were gone, maybe they wrote the music, so this is where they are before I came back, playing a bar, wonderful.

I am so glad the vanailla ice thing never went anywhere

freakbrother6969 · May 4th, 2006, 06:02 PM

Spitz:
"Joey's not so educated school-wise"

no comment

"'Get John Bush in the band!' I voted no."

Get Spitz out again, I vote YES

"I think we didn't try enough singers."

About Stomp 442:
"I have all the tapes of all my leads, all my rhythms, basically what you listen to on the album is all my leads copied by my roadie Paul Crook and Dimebag, note for note. If we ever have to go to court for real in front of the judge, the tapes can come out."

About GOTE:
"If you'll give me a lighter, I'll burn it in front of you, how about that? I spit on it. (...) I don't think the fans kinda liked it either, not the true fans we'll say."

Well, so I'm not a true fan, I guess. I bought everything from 'em in the 80ies, 90ies and today. I supported them in hard times, when the "true fans" left. The true fans had to leave the band after this dwarf guitar player left. What was his name? can't remember. He was a watch-seller, I guess

So I better be an UNTRUE fan.

What will Scott say about these nice words?

LOL, that's what I thought. Maybe he just punches his face exactly in this moment.

Danny Lilker didn't shower... a lot, and he smelled. For an American this is no good, so one day Neil Turbin knocked on his door and said you're not in the band anymore because you were told so many times to shower and we can't take it anymore.

liker was fired because he didn't shower?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

go listen to the UTFO album we did. Actually those guy became two really really powerful rap producers

UTFO??

WTF?

Quote:

You did some great touring for that album, like the Monsters of Rock tour in Europe and huge tour in U.S with KISS. How was that?

Great. Fucking great. In this band there are few people, all they know is KISS, I'm a old Aerosmith fan, "The Rocks" album and backwards, so to tour with KISS was just unbeliavable. It was when they took their make-up off, with Bruce Kulick on guitar and late Eric Carr on drums.My brother's friend good friend Eric Singer on plays drums with them now. KISS, they were pretty much done at that time, they were playing really small places and they kinda call us. Gene's a good business man as we all know and he saw that there was this whole underground big explosion of this kind of music I don't understand, so let me find out what this is and take them with us, that's what he did as a business man. And we became very close with them during this tour, Paul Stanley using my guitars, jamming at rehearsals and all kinds of stuff. And as fans got to see in some of the magazines, the pictures of us and Kiss together were no more Kiss pictures, they're laughing, they're cracking up, Gene's chocking me.

Although the album "Crazy Nights" did quite well they still almost broke up after the tour, right?

The tour was a money disaster, it was really bad. It was, I hate to say it, but it was mainly Anthrax fans that were showing up, it really wasn't KISS, but I give them all the credit for continuing, just as Anthrax did when I left, for ten years they tried to keep it together, I gave them everything, I gave them the name, I signed away everything because in truth and reality I was never gonna come back to this industry at all, I had no desire to.

you don't fuck with gene simmons.....

Rise · May 4th, 2006, 07:27 PM

interesting interview extremely stupid but interesting

manthatfollowshell · May 4th, 2006, 07:54 PM

crap, I didn't have post this interview.

I'm gonna be like Tommy and bite my tongue too.

FATLAX · May 4th, 2006, 08:07 PM

Anthrax have fucked themselves.

LouieFatterson · May 4th, 2006, 08:20 PM

This doesn't add up!

Black Thirteen · May 4th, 2006, 08:33 PM

He is delusional. We are dealing with this now.

ZeeZooZum · May 4th, 2006, 08:45 PM

Ugh, perhaps it's just time to break up already and save us the annoying melodrama.

Christ, this is worse than Metallica in Some Kind of Monster......

reidie · May 4th, 2006, 08:53 PM

Danny is danny

walking dead 666 · May 4th, 2006, 09:23 PM

Holy Shit. I cant believe what i just read. What a fucktard. I got into a huge debate with some of you the last time he ran his mouth. Scott even told me to chill out. This is what i wrote:

"No he's shitting on all of this:

The Greater Of Two Evils
2004
Music Of Mass Destruction
2004
We've Come For You All
2003
Return Of The Killer A's
1999
Volume 8: The Threat Is Real
1998
Stomp 442
1995
Sound Of White Noise
1993

And everyone who stuck by this band during those years. I feel both angry & sad. Angry because he just sipt in my face for shelling out $$$ during those years & sad because the Anthrax i grew to love is dead."

He now says that he spits on GOTE & would burn it. I arrest my case!

timmyc · May 4th, 2006, 09:49 PM

Uh-oh......

thraxx · May 4th, 2006, 10:28 PM

THE MODERATORS ARE WATCHING AND WILL BE DELETING BAD POST.....
YOU KNOW WHAT WE MEAN........

I've read several interviews with Dan. This sounds exactly like him. See his Metal Sludge interview.

Deege · May 4th, 2006, 11:10 PM

Yup indeed that are deleting bad posts. They did mine.
But I kind-of expected that. What I said didn't contribute positively to discussion, it was an all-out attack on a midget I don't need to name.
I spoke my mind how I truly feel, and that's what matters to me. But you know what? Dan's speaking his mind on how he truly feels, too. Too bad it goes so much against what the true hardcore fans think.
Sadly enough, I'm hugely into politics and reading Dan's statement reminded me how strongly I felt against George Bush during the elections (and still to this day) and made me just as disgusted as reading or hearing a GWB speech. It really pains me to know that the Anthrax I love may never come back now and they've opted to get this guy back after the shit he says (but hey, America re-elected Bush after his shitty performance the first time so maybe it's even more similar). I dropped everything to go see the WCFYA lineup 7 times, and I even lost my job to go see them when they opened for Dio...I had no idea it was the last time I was going to see Anthrax live.

But I'm definatly never, ever going to support the band with this nostalgia lineup.
