New Anthrax vocalist

Corey Taylor?

SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor has confirmed that he has been working with ANTHRAX on material for their upcoming studio album. Speaking to Germany's Rock Hard magazine, Taylor said of the possibility that he will become the new ANTHRAX singer, "It's been banded about. I'm not saying anything right now because all it's been is just talked about. Obviously, I'm really good friends with those guys. It kind of started as a joke. And then the more we talked about it, the more serious it got. I'm gonna at least help them out. It's kind of a dream come true — ANTHRAX is one of my favorite bands. We're just kind of taking baby steps right now. I know that we worked on about eight or nine songs together that I've written lyrics for, and there was a song that I had actually written for them that I was just gonna give them the music for, and once this kind of happened, I had to turn around and write lyrics for it myself. But there's nothing definite right now. It's one of those things where it's like we're just gonna kind of play it by ear and just see what happens. So there's nothing definite. It's something that we're talking about — it's something that we kind of wanna do. But I'm in two huge bands right now. So it's like I barely get enough time to sleep, let alone do another band. . . I'm gonna be busy, period. I'm just kind of honored that they would even consider me. These are people that I grew up listening to, these are guys that I had the privilege of getting to know on a real basis. To have them look at me and go, 'You know what? We would love to work with you,' it's such a huge compliment. It kind of makes me feel like I've come a long way in my life."

Well, whatever. What's important is the fact that we know John can fully concentrate on more important stuff, namely Armored Saint.

I'll give the new Anthrax a shot though, if anything ever comes out of this. Would've preferred Whit Crane though.

I've said it a few times. Corey might be a pretty good vocalist, but the whole thing stinks of bigger sellout than the reunion itself.

[tsorl]

Well I don't know about that selling out bit, Anthrax and Taylor have supposedly been buddies for years so it's only obvious to pick someone from the "inner circle". After the reunion mess people are just so overtly cynical about everything the band does, there's not much Scott&Charlie could do in this situation without being called sellouts or back-stabbers or whatever. More than anything, it seems to me like they're really looking forward for the first time since WCFYA's release and that's cool.

That's right tsorl, but don't forget that Corey has TWO HUGE bands already. So I don't see Anthrax as anything else but a third-rate project at this stage.
