    Here's my question.
    Where the fuck did I hide the presents I bought for my wife's birthday.

    I don't remember V8 and Stomp, although I do remember Scott saying how great they were and Stomp really should have been career defining but the label didn't support it.
    The covers album isn't something I'd go for either. But SOWN is my favouriteAnthrax album while WCFYA is a borderline pass for me.

    Anthrax = Not a bad album in their entire catalogue!

    He did choose the take the gig, and he chose to take it through a pretty rough time for music in general. Maybe he saw it as easier than slugging it out with a band where he was leader and the buck stopped with him. Maybe he did see it as a great career move. Either way I think he got what he wanted out of Anthrax, Anthrax got 1 great album and one mediocre album, so it's a win for both sides.

    From now one every band has it's own sub genre. There is no thrash, no death, no black, it's all sub genres, the sillier the better.

    Cyco Miko had groove in his metal long before the twenty first century. He had so much groove it was infectious!

    My first computer didn't have a hard drive, nothing like the days of tape installations.
    My first IBM had a 40 MB drive and the sales droid told me "you'll never fill that up!". It lasted 6 months before I upgraded to a massive 80 MB. Now days my server has multiple drives with about 12TB of storage.
    As far as headphones go I can't even remember the last time I put a set on and I am still using my Yamaha 5.1 surround amp from 1991 with a set of Jamo speakers.

    I've moved on to bouncy castle metal and all it's sub genres such as bouncy castle death metal, bouncy castle crossover metal and my all time favourite of which there is thousands, bouncy castle black metal.

    Scott Ian calls Anthrax groove metal when he gets a chance. But then he calls the band lots of things and blames everyone else for their downfall while writing the best music of their career. He knows the band was thrash in the early days, he knows it was less thrash when Bush joined but he still thought it was extremely aggressive and heavy. Then in the mid Bush era he claims the record labels failed them by not supporting the best music of their career. Then just before Bush's last album while they were effectively a two piece band when Corey Taylor was considered as a replacement he claimed it was some of the heaviest stuff written despite Corey being nu-metal. It wasn't until Joey came back that he once again believes they've come back to full on thrash. However the thrash they play is not the same as Metallica, who he mentions at every chance he gets. Metallica's thrash was unique and even they weren't copying it in the early days no matter how much they looked up to and respected Metallica.
    Since groove metal is a real thing then I'm going to allow Bouncy Castle metal and Anthrax is first band who gets in the category.

    There is no doubt the dude can play guitar. There is also little doubt that for much of his career Blackie treated him like Blackie treats everyone who is not Blackie. But he was also a notorious drunk and drug addict and while he does take some of the blame for his life he's pretty quick to palm it off. But the story is still kind of interesting.
    As for his music, he can't really sing, and his a fairly average lyricist, but some of his lyrics are fucking hilarious.

    Other than Truck Sim, Flight Sim and Farm Sim, I haven't played a video game since the days of DOS games but Full Throttle and Duke Nukem had cool soundtracks but probably aren't metal enough for genre specific people.

    Most people in this country thought corporate espionage was rare too, until a year or so ago when Optus (our second largest Telco) got stung and stung big time because a tech left the back door open to the server. Now people are starting to realise that this shit is happening every week and has been for a decade or more, but much of it went un-reported.
    Just after Optus got breached the media reported on attacks every few days and made a huge story out of each one, but 12 months on and even they realise that it's happening too often to report on every breach.
