So, this is something that's bothered me for years. The link is for a concert that Anthrax played in Bochum, Germany on May 12th, 1986. For the encore, Anthrax covered War Inside My Head, and they did a pretty good job of covering it, so it seems like something they rehearsed ahead of time.

My question is...how? It wasn't released on an album until Join the Army came out a year later? Were Suicidal playing the song at live shows a year before the album, and the guys just happened to hear them play it at some random show?

It was written around the time the first album was released, by a temporary guitarist. He sold the rights to Muir. Then it went out on a demo and was played live for years before Join the Army came out.

Per Wiki & I hope it's true - "War Inside My Head" was originally written by guitarist Jon Nelson. He traded the rights for "War Inside My Head" for a Flying V guitar after he left the band.

Flying V counts as pointy. Even if it's the classic look with the rounded edges.GoodJudge wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 9:20 amWould you cut him some slack if it was pointy?HueyRamone wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 8:13 amThe kind of guy who trades his publishing for a guitar? Shocking.
