Anthrax @ Charleston, SC 1994-04-11

Camera is all over the place and the audio mostly soundboard except some weird stuff going on during Antisocial.

Saw this same tour the next month at the Hollywood Palladium.

Anthrax /Fight tour!
first time hearing Halford live was for Fight!
After the show Fight bus was parked near the venue Wilson Theatre in Fresno…all band came out and greeted the fans!

I remember Fight was selling tons of merch- Anthrax not so much

After show we drove like 15 miles to A&W for RootBeer ice cream floats!
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

Anthrax are a lot like Metallica without the mass appeal and world wide record sales. Both bands started to suck in the 90s.

John "Amish Warrior" Bush.

Man, no one knew what the fuck they were doing in that time period. Scott using those weird ass Charvel guitars, too.

Sounds good, though. Cool find.

Very few Thrash bands had Gold albums.

Charvel surfcaster...it's on my wish list... they're pretty rare now.

This is part of why I checked out of music in the 90s. Grunge was only part of it.

If you love this stuff, more power to ya.

I don't get this... at all.

Very few Thrash bands had Gold albums.

Anthrax did very respectable numbers in the mid to late 80s and up to SOWN. They still were not Metallica or Megadeth. Anthrax and Slayer’s sales were about on par with each other. They each had a handful of gold records.

I stand by what I said. Anthrax started to suck in the 90s. I thought Testament’s early 90s output blew Anthrax’s away. Then they went death metal after Alex and Louie left and they started to suck too. Megadave, who I’m not a big fan, is a better songwriter than the Anthrax and Slayer guys. As much as I want to deride the guy, Dave backs his bullsh*t up with consistently good output no matter what group of scabs he has playing for him.
