Anthrax are playing The Astoria 10th April!

Original line up as well. I think I'll have to get along to that one!

Have you guys seen the reunion DVD/CD set?

I got it a few weeks back and it's great to see the line-up back together.

Dan Spitz has got what appears to me to be a unique PRS headstock design on his new private stock model - A PRS take on 6 inline.

I've been looking for info but can't find out a thing, I think it looks great though.

Would be good to see them in such a small venue.

Yeah I bought the Alive Vol 2 CD/DVD set a while back. The circle pit during Indians looks fun!

I was at the reunion show on DVD. I'm actually in a couple of spots..lol
It was a great show. Lots of energy. Definitely go if you can!!!!!!
The only thing I did not like is the way they did the DVD and CD. Why some songs were only on the CD and some only on the DVD beats me. Must have been for the extra $$ since I had to buy both...lol
They did a pantera cover plus other stuff that is not on either the Cd or DVD.
The guy that opened for them was great too. He was all by himself with his guitar and practically took every Pantera riff and combined it into one giant riff all together. He was an apprentice of the late and great Dimbag.

Sounds good 101! I'll have to get meself a copy. I used to have the video from Hammersmith on the Among The Living tour in 1986 I think it was. Anyway it was so good i wore the tape out.

Anyone from here going to this then? Got tickets for me and a mate in my grubby hands.

Seen the reunion live DVD too now, and they're on awesome form. :)

Yeah, they are.

Last time I saw them was in 1988/89 on the State of Euphoria tour. :)

Nice,

I was only 12 or 13 at that time..My friend is a little older that me and when to a couple of their early concerts and says to him they sound better now then they did then.
Joey's voice is right on target..

Damn fine though, wasn't it. :D

Hi Muttley!
No worrys, the mate i was meeting in there had been on the piss all day and was behaving like a right w**ker, so much so the doorman wouldn't let him in! So i wouldn't have wanted to burden BKP forum buddy with all that bollocks!

Yeah the gig was fantastic! That's the first time I've seen them for 17 years and they can still kick arse. Scot Ian's rhythm playing is just $%&#ing outrageous! I remember that's why I got into them in the first place. Plus they played all the old ones we all know and love!

I didn't think much of the 2nd support band though. One of the guitar players was playing without his amp on for one number, did you notice?!!

what was the second support band? Kingsize Blues?
