Along with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer, Anthrax emerged as part of the"Big Four" that drove the metal genre in a faster, more intense and brutal direction.
On the occasion of Anthrax's 40th anniversary tour with Black Label Society and Exodus, which hits San Antonio's Boeing Center at Tech Port on Friday, Feb. 10, thecaught up with Ian to discuss the band's memorable Alamo City gigs.
There's no band more responsible for Anthrax being a band than Iron Maiden. In those early days — even pre-Anthrax — Maiden was. When you look at it on paper, it doesn't seem too long. I think back to 1980 when the first Maiden record came out. Walking home from the record store with that album — and listening to it — it completely changed my life. In '81, there'sIron Maiden. They opened for Judas Priest in '81 at the Palladium in New York City.
Layne really worked it here in San Antonio. When people started chanting “Slayer!” during their set, he led the chants! That’s a ballsy way to deal with heckling.Do you think the original thrash scene peaked with Clash of the Titans? Because not so long after that you let form former, and now current again, Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna go, you brought John Bush in. Things seemed to change somewhere in there.
