The Edge of Perfection

I'll be dead after.

It could be The Edge of Perfection.

He's got his own pod-

He's got his own podcast? Oh, his own pod for him.

Yeah.

Track number five.

The Edge of Perfection.

This has more kind of a proggy...

He called it a love letter to the band's fans and a definition of what Anthrax sounds like.

July's The Edge of Perfection went in almost the opposite direction.

Nearly seven minutes more expansive and experimental with blast beats and darker textures.

Ian went so far as to call it the best song Anthrax has ever written, while Bello has named it his personal favorite.

All right, next.

The Edge of Perfection.

Oh, my God.

The best Anthrax song ever, according to Scotty Yates.

I refuse to believe for a second Scott Ian is happy with Joey's performance on this song.

Because it just doesn't work at all.

The Edge of Perfection, it's more like the edge of shit yeah fuck this this dollar store trash all

right well I gotta say when I first saw the video when they released this I was not what I was wanting not what I was expecting there was parts of the songs that I liked and there's parts I didn't And then, I don't know, it just all fucking clicked for me.

was an acoustic

show though wasn't it Yeah, it was quite, well, he only played, I mean, he played like 23, 24 songs, but he just sort of did abridged versions of half of them.

Because he's basically telling his, it's almost like a bio show where he's talking about his musical career from the very first thing he ever did, how he got a record deal.

Yeah.

when he was living in L.A., how he got the Steve Vai thing, and it all basically just goes through each of the albums, and he'll play half acoustic versions of some songs.

He was doing, like, strapping songs acoustically.

Wow.

But, like, some of them were just, like, half, like, maybe up to the first chorus, and then he'd sort of just stop and then just start talking about the next thing, because he's got... 28 studio albums he's got 40 albums plus in his catalog if you think like the lives and stuff like that so to do that in a two-hour show you can't do every single song so he was yeah doing these sort of abridged versions and then um at the nottingham show it was felt like a much like a rehearsal when i saw him in southampton it was a bit more polished but it was not as good and then by the time he got to london like four days later it was just like he nailed it it was like ah that's the dev i know um He played like three or four songs with backing tracks, but for the most of it, it was literally just him, a guitar, and his voice.

Different song, though, but the album finally drops on Friday.

This is The Edge of Perfection.

Let's get into it a little

bit.

I get it.

Edge of Perfection was the second one.

That's the one that Scott Ian was like, this is our best song ever.

So, yeah, I'll play.
