Fired Anthrax singer fires back

Old Anthrax singer, Dan Nelson, has slammed the band for their performance of “new” song, Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t, with new old Anthrax singer, Joey Belladonna. Confused? Yeah we all are when it comes to this band and their singers.

The original version of the song was written and recorded last year, with Dan Nelson on vocals. After he left, or quit, or was fired, the band still used the song, performing it for the “first” time (with Joey) last night (click)

Writing via his Twitter profile guitarist Scott Ian stated about the Uniondale concert, “NY show didn’t disappoint. Craziest pit of the tour! We played new one ‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ for the first time in the States.”

A short time later, Nelson took to his own Twitter profile to correct Ian, writing:

“‘Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t’ for the first time in the States, eh?? Wouldn’t that be at the Double Door in Chicago when we played the song WE ALL wrote together?? I guess Chicago is no longer in the States??”

Videos and screenshots of the tweets stolen borrowed from Blabermouth can be found after the jump.

New Anthrax song

Anthrax, the band who never really knows who their vocalist is, performed a new song live, apparently with Joey Belladonna.

The song is called “Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t,” but don’t be fooled by the Lil’ Waynesque title, it’s still Anthrax… I think…Anyway, the song has been played live before, but not with Joey. I already have a headache trying to figure this out, so do you see what I mean?

The Damned Things. Ironic.

The Damned Things have named their new album! Wanna know the name? Good luck you’re reading our site then. It’s Ironiclast. Personally, I think Ironic would have sufficed in many ways, but who are we to point fingers and laugh? Don’t answer that.

Scott Ian is still confused

Scott Ian of Anthrax is still confused as to who the singer is. Can you blame him? We lost track about 10 years ago, also… Here’s what he answered in a recent interview:

“They are both such integral parts of this band. But, at this point, it doesn’t matter to me if it’s Joey or John. I’ve been doing this for so long that it just feels like Anthrax to me. The whole is greater than the individual parts.“

Umm, nice save Scott. Like in middle school when you’re asked to point out Italy on a map and you don’t know, so you say something like “I love the world so much it’s just hard to reduce it to a single country… The whole globe is greater than the individual countries“ and then the geography teacher makes you stay after class and tells you to pull your pants down for a smacking, but instead of his palm you feel a phallic object entering your… Hey, enough about my school years, let’s stay on Mr. Ian.

Did you know he would do anything for love? He’d run right into hell and back? And he’d never lie to you and that’s a fact? Learn more about what’s it like being married to Meat Loaf‘s daughter here.

Dave Mustaine is humble

Here’s something I never thought I’d read (let alone write myself): In a recent interview, Dave Mustaine claimed Slayer has the best show and Megadeth just tries to keep up.

What the…? Is this really Dave? Cause usually he’d be like “Yeah, we’re amazing and we pretty much gave birth to metal, the others are just trying to keep up with us, but failing” and then use Metallica’s name to promote his shit and then just deny everything saying he loves everyone, and so on and so forth…

But nowadays Dave is a changed man. Or at least tries to be considering they all want an American Big Four tour… Oh well.
