[youtube]http://youtu.be/xzAhV6K_7sA[/youtube] Is it us, or has Limp Bizkit been around long enough that they’re finally gaining cred? First Phil Anselmo hung out with Fred Durst at a festival. Just yesterday, Vice had a strangely reverent interview with Durst about his new film, The Truth. And in Hamburg, Germany yesterday, Scott Ian, Frank Bello and Joey Belladonna joined Bizkit […]

Some are stating that it’s a case of government overstepping its bounds, other fans are saying the team […]

Today, it’s Anthrax’s We’ve Come For You All, which was released on February 27, 2003. I need to point out first that drummer Charlie Benante is an absolutely amazing drummer. Even though I’m […]

Yesterday, Joey Belladonna’s interview with with Sweden Rock Magazine made its way across the internet with the somber admission that the other guys in Anthrax aren’t all that friendly with him. Apparently, Scott Ian has gotten wind of this and decided to reach out to Belladonna in the most sentimental way possible: a tweet. The following […]

You’d think that having a 30-year-spanning history in one of metal’s more successful groups will have made you a band of brothers, but in a recent interview with Sweden Rock Magazine, Anthrax frontman Joey Belladonna said that’s not necessarily the case. He gave a rather sad interview in which he said that after 30 years, […]

Given what a near-constant presence Scott Ian has had as a talking head on VH1, it’s a bit surprising he’s never done a spoken word tour in America before. That’s about to change, as his “Speaking Words” tour will begin next month (see dates below). We caught up with the longtime Anthrax rhythm guitarist to […]

Riot’s comeback hit a roadblock last year after guitarist/founding member Mark Reale passed away from complications of Crohn’s disease. While the group continued to perform a handful of shows shortly after the death, Riot’s future seemed unclear. Last night, though, Riot announced plans to continue on with “phase five.” While they won’t be replacing Reale […]

And last night (February 21), Donais made his live debut with the band at The Hi-Fi in Brisbane, Australia. The show also saw Anthrax performing with drummer Jon Dette (who is filling […]

It’s not often that a band finds themselves going through a career renaissance 30 years in, but Anthrax isn’t just any band. As they continue to tour in support of their Grammy-nominated Worship Music, they’re also about to release covers EP Anthems and will be playing their 1987 album Among the Living in its entirety on the […]

Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything. Crazy to think how within a few hours, we suddenly had TWO Black Flag reunions to choose from. Hell, even one version of the punk icons plan to record a new album. But the circumstances of the multiple Black Flags […]
