Artist: Anthrax

So today NASA researchers revealed during a Reddit AMA the songs that they've used recently to "wake up" the Miss Curiosity rover, and there was exactly one metal song on the list: Anthrax's version of "Got the Time" from Persistence of Time. And I don't really have anything interesting to say about this, but I'm sure my [...]

photos by Greg Cristman Motorhead / Anthrax / Slayer at Mayhem Fest 7/27/2012 The highlight of the evening followed and that was Slayer ... they were missing guitarist Jeff Hanneman and had a substitute in his place. If you didn't know any better you wouldn't have known that Slayer was missing one of their key members as they sounded as good as always. They opened with "God Hates Us All" and then it [...]

Yesterday, we posted a story about Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and his wife being arrested for domestic battery in front of a child. It seemed very out of character for Benante, who always struck me as a nice guy. Today, Benante's lawyer sent out an official statement giving Charlie's side of the story and it ...

On Friday, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and his wife, Sandra, were arrested for domestic battery in front of a child; now more details of the incident have been made public via a statement by the drummer's attorney, William L. Hotopp:  “Last Friday Charlie was assaulted several times during an altercation that sent him to the emergency room [...]

It hasn't been a good couple of months for Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. His mother died a few months ago. He injured his hand right as the band was about to head out on Mayhem Fest, and was forced to sit out the band's first big festival run, and over the weekend he was arrested, ...

Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante is sitting out the first section of the Rockstar Mayhem festival while recovering from a hand injury, but the band's main creative force has found a way into the news anyway: according to South Bend, Indiana’s WSBT, Benante and his wife were arrested this past Friday (July 27) for domestic battery in [...]

One of our favorite features run by our friends at excellent UK website The Quietus is their regular excerpts from the Rock's Back Pages archive. They recently exhumed an old article from the NME , wherein Nick Cave, Shane MacGowan, and Mark E. Smith held a "summit" at a south London pub . As it turns out, we happen to own this exact NME – we found it for $1 in a second-hand record shop years ago — and leafing through the article again got us thinking about similar great meetings of the minds that have [...]

The last time the Metal Masters got together it was the night after the Revolver Golden Gods Awards and there was a ton of jamming, including Pantera tunes and a surprise appearance by Geezer Butler for some Black Sabbath jammage. You can watch footage from that show here. Good news for metalheads in the tri-state ...

Good news for music nerds in the tri-state area: on September 7, nearly a year to the day after Metal Masters 2, there will be a Metal Masters 4 at The Gramercy Theater in Manhattan. Down's Phil Anselmo, Kerry King and Dave Lombardo from Slayer, Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, and Frankie Bello from Anthrax, Gary [...]

Things are heating up! Friday's matches saw Lamb of God guitarist taking down Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon, which didn't surprise us much - but we gotta say, were caught off-guard that Zakk Wylde absolutely annihilated Amon Amarth's Johann Hegg. Just goes to show ya: in the MetalSucks Best Beard in the History of Metal Bracket, [...]

Well well well: yesterday's match-ups sure were br00tal! Once again we had three unequivocal knock-outs, with Johann Hegg tearing Iron Lung to shreds in a scissor fight, Dime making himself Paul Speckmann's master, and Mark Morton sending Per Wiberg off to be a lamb of god. And, once again, we had one close match - [...]

When I saw the headline "DIMEBAG MADE SCOTT IAN A JEW GUITAR" on MetalSucks, and clicked on it, I was expecting a trolling, but... it's real! I've seen some killer guitars before, a cocaine guitar, a bong guitar and a machine gun guitar but this is a new level of awesomeness. Check out this sweet ...

Anthrax's Scott Ian tweeted the below earlier today: And now here are the photos: OH MY GOD I WANT ONE SO BAD. I don't even care about the Confederate flag nonsense (although I might change the neck inlay to Jew stars). A++++++ WDBWA. -AR
