Anthrax – Charlie Benante Pipes Up and Hits Back
Charlie Benante, drummer of ANTHRAX is interviewed on the latest edition of the METAL Injection videocast. When asked about all the internet backlash about the reunion tour with Joey Belladonna and Danny Spitz, Charlie said:
“There is always going to be people that love it and some that hate it. I read some of these things cause people send me links, and I see these things and a lot of people are misinformed. They feel like we dissed John Busch, which is not true. John was asked to be a part of this, he chose not to be part of this. Of course, I could see how the fans would think John got fucked over on this whole thing, but thats the last thing I would want to do. I love John Busch. It was our 20th Anniversary, we wanted to do something special, and that was it.”
The whole interview can be viewed at this location. The episode also features 2 rare ANTHRAX videos for “Who Cares Wins” and “Medusa (Live)” as well as videos from CANNIBAL CORPSE, MISERY SIGNALS, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, SWORN ENEMY and AGENTS OF MAN.
