Stunning No Need For That Idiot Belladonna.......2006-10-07

Most people think that belladonna is the best anthrax vocalist. This is not true he is an awful singer. I recently listened to some of his best stuff with anthrax its terrible. This album with the best singer John Bush (IMO) is brilliant. You cant fault it he is way better than belladonna. Just listen to John Bush on Caught in A Mosh compared to Joey Belladonna so dont listen to anyone who says otherwise. Everthing else about Anthrax is also stunning, just listen to the DRumming(Amazing) and the guitars sound Brilliant.
BUY THIS ITS BRILLIANT EVEN IF YOUR NOT A FAN OF ANTHRAX
THATS HOW GOOD THIS IS

awesome.......2004-12-28

I became an Anthrax fan from the first notes of Potters Field from Sound of White Noise. How could something sound so heavy? It was awesome. I loved the first Bush era album, and then came Stomp which was a setback. Volume 8 was awesome, and the new cd We've come for you all is pretty awesome as well. This live album captures a rare feeling in which an entire crowd is so into the performance that their singing overcomes the band. Its pretty awesome sounding. The DVD that came with this is pretty cool as well. The album is pretty awesome. I wish the performance of Bring the noise from the dvd was on the cd, but that's okay. Great cd to jam in the car.

John Bush Rules!!!!!!!!!.......2004-11-01

Unlike this New York Wigger Clown who probably wears his Yankees hat sideways and says yo yo dawg. And was too much of a coward to leave his ID. The fact is without John Bush today it would be Anthrax who? With John in the band they rock harder and more melodic than they ever did. He should just stick to M&M and F-off. P.S. Armored Saint is 10,000 times the Heavy Metal Band that Anthrax will ever be!!! And if any more members of Armored Saint go over to help Anthrax out because there members keep dropping like flies then they should change the name to Anthrax Saint!!!

IF JOHN BUSH WASN'T WITH THEM IT WOULD BE 5.......2004-10-04

the album is great, anthrax finally has an official live album now. my only gripe against this and any other anthrax release in the 90'is john bush. sure, he works fine for bands like armored saint, but bush doesn't have the charisma of joe belladonna or the vocal power of neil turbin, hes just a generic vocalist, hell, not even a vocalist, he barely registers as a singer. well the hell did scott ian get rid of joe belladonna? surly the david lee roth of thrash metal for this john bush guy who doesn't even fit anthraxs music? thats the only thing i really don't like about this album, you have the rest of the band roaring and bush can't even catch his breath, he almost ruins classic anthrax songs because of his crap vocal ability (anthrax is one of those bands where the vocals are an important part of the music, and it takes a skilled vocalist to deliver the lyrics right) but that can be overlooked because the rest of the band is in such fine shape hear. buy it if you are in to anthrax, just be bewarned about bush.

Something is missing.......2004-08-26

Seeing Anthrax live in the late 80's was a truly amazing experience. To this day I have never seen a band that played tighter than Anthrax did (the Among the Living tour stands out particularly for me in this respect). Being at an Anthrax show was like hanging out with a bunch of rowdy friends and breaking stuff.

For some reason, and I don't know what it is, on the "Persistence of Time" tour, the band started sounding a whole lot less tight. If you think I'm nuts saying this, try and get your hands on a copy of their old VHS show NFV from the Among tour and then a copy of their second live VHS from their tour with Public Enemy (the name of it eludes me) and you will see what I mean. By the way, that show from NFV NEEDS to be released on DVD. It was absolutely amazing how good they sounded.

The band got a shot in the arm again when John Bush joined the band and released "Sound of White Noise", which I feel is the band's best work and the tour for that record was unreal. I saw their show in Cleveland that year and it is still one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen... and I've seen many.

I've seen them twice since that show and both times were mediocre at best. They're just not as fun as they used to be. I attribute part of that to the loss of Danny Spitz who always seemed to be having a lot of fun when he was on stage and was a heck of a lead guitarist to boot. Why they booted him, I'll never understand.

This DVD/CD combo isn't half bad. They do seem to be playing a bit tighter than when I've seen them (most recently in '02 opening for Judas Priest), but I think the song selection is the weakest part. They seem to be picking some of their most mediocre new stuff (though What Doesn't Die and Safe Home both sound great), and the old stuff are songs that they've had in their repertoire non-stop for well over 10 years in most cases. They need to mix it up a bit. The only true stand out track on this is "Be All, End All" mainly because I haven't heard it played live in years.

I'm hoping the day will come when I hear a live Anthrax CD (or DVD) where songs like "Panic", "Gung Ho", "Among the Living", "Black Lodge", "Tester" and some of their more obscure stuff takes the forefront again instead of hearing "Metal Thrashing Mad" and "Got the Time" for the 6000th time. I think that would bring me back to the die hard Anthrax fan I once was.
