Scott Ian

He worked for a pest control company in Florida There's a story of Lars Ulrich being a fan of Riot, called the company and was shocked that Speranza himself showed up at the door.

Speranza in 1982 got a call from Scotty Ian of Anthrax to offer the lead vocalist job, but he declined.

He passed away at the age of 47 from pancreatic cancer.

Wow.

Come on.

I'm, you know, Scott Ian.

any number of musicians who've been in Mike McCready go through the list of people who are inspired by KISS and the music of KISS having an opportunity to you know be part of that I think it could work but I think put out Ace is gone To me, it's over.

You can never have anything.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

So... you know like our every now and again our parents would be in the car and they'd follow they'd be like all right do the block and come back and then we'd go to a different block and do that but uh anyway yes it's fantastic having the having that bigger kid step in had a kid uh his name was mason and he was i was i think i've told this i was terrified of him because he had the bully haircut he had the shaved sides on the back of the ponytail like uh like scott ian or something or like lane staley to go to your seattle rooster um and he looked like if i he looked like lane staley to me he had like a goatee and everything and so i'd cross the street to walk by his house and one day he goes he goes Hey man, you can walk over here.

And he was with his sister and some other big kids.

And I immediately started crying and I walked over and I was like, okay.

It has a runtime of 53 minutes and 43 seconds.

The lineup for the band was Joey Belladonna on vocals, Scott Ian on guitars, Jonathan Donais on guitars, Frank Bello on bass, and Charlie Benante on drums.

I enjoyed this album quite a bit.

It was the...

There are moments where you're like, this is Anthrax, man.

You can just hear it.

And Scott Ian is still Scott Ian.

This is a band that's had... or it's longevity and how much has happened a fair amount of continuity actually right there's been some frontman changes i was looking i was literally just looking at the graph

Now, we're told that that's not their final album.

However, the guitarist Scott Ian and co-founder hinted that it might, in fact, well be their last one.

So we'll wait and see what happens.

Any theories, Rob? What do you reckon?

I don't know.

I mean, a lot of the guys, you know, Charlie Bonante and Scott Ian from Anthrax, they're like horror fans.

Kirk Hammett, Kirk Hammett is a massive collector of heavy metal artifacts and guitars painted with, you know, Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi on them.

And so it's a natural connection, you know, but just it didn't really take off.

And it's just an honor.

I got Scott Ian right behind me and him and his son, who's in a fucking great band right now.

and you know so they're there it's just like the metal community is always so cool to be around you know every year there's some kind of event where you're around a lot of the metal community whether it be like my birthday bash or whatever that's always a great great reunion oh by the way I want to give you guys a heads up um hold on here let me get this there is a benefit for uh hold on i gotta get this dennis from death angel okay and it's going to be in san francisco and it is on what's the date of this fucking thing Let's see.

God damn it.
