Belladonna liked the taste of success
Current (I think) Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna, who was Anthrax’s 6th, 8th and 10th singer in the overall timeline, liked the view from huge stages at the Big Four tour last summer.
In an interview with About.com Belladonna had the following to say about the tour “It was quite overwhelming and cool as hell to be part of Metallica‘s world.”.
About Anthrax’s upcoming (hehe) album he said “There’s stuff already ready for the picking. We have to tweak stuff and rewrite some lyrics. All the vocals have to be placed in the songs again. I already sang on one song already”, which means “We’ll record my vocals over Nelson’s vocals and once we’re done, I’ll quit and John Bush will record over my vocals”*.

In other news, the Netherlands shouldn’t be a country. Amsterdam on the other hand should be.
Kirk Hammett's still learning
Metallica‘s bimbo Kirk Hammett recently did an interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com and said the following about his guitar playing “You know, I think as a metal guitar player, I am decent. I am no Eddie Van Halen, but I am still learning, am still learning stuff day to day and still feel like I am growing. I also still think that my music writing is still getting better.”.
For once, I’ve got to agree with Hammett. He is decent. That’s where I stop agreeing with him, though. He’s obviously not getting better but maybe he’s just learning the wrong stuff day to day? Maybe he should stop jamming to the latest Bullet for My Valentine record and listen to some… uh… metal?
