Watching Dave headbang and sing along to A.I.R....you just gotta smile when you see that.
I needed it in my life!
Photo shoot time.
Slayer: 😎
Anthrax: 🤪
Damn, I was gonna add Megadeth, but none of the emojis have that Mustaine sneer. 🙃
Bwahaha! So true, Mossy!! And that is why there are my favorite of the Big 4!
slayer: 😈
Megadeth 😠
Metallica😆
Great stuff! Only small complaint is about Corey Taylor claiming Metallica and Slayer in 85-86 were wearing expensive "costumes" on stage. Metallica in that era made a name for themselves largely for just wearing jeans and tee shirts. Slayer were much the same back then. Most you'd see was a leather jacket here and there (James and Kerry). Corey Taylor s a dork.
It is what I loved most about Anthrax at the time: They didn't seem to take themselves too seriously, they were fucking fun, and they actually moved around the fucking stage like they meant it
Agree 100%
Always love anthrax but the fun anthrax the anthrax I enjoy the most was the fun anthrax not all this pentagram evil shit.

Metal is fun. It’s joy. It’s a brotherhood. I’m glad they let that show
"I can't be into the band more than the guys on the stage are into the band", well said mr. Zombie. That's why Anthrax rocks live so hard. They bring the energy with them every time and it's infectious.
SO pumped for Among the Living episode
Same here. Among the Living was the first album I heard by them.
@@ArmourRules my first album was greater of two evils
I remember hearing it for the first time and it just sounded huge. Knew it would put them on the map.
AMONG is BY FAR their masterpiece... JUST FUCKING AMAZING..Even just the beginning of AMONG when Charlie comes in is like WHAT THE FUCK....that whole section before it speeds up ... JUST WOW...EVEN TO THIS DAY its just FUCKING CRUSHING. (...Just like the march of the S.O.D.!!!!!) First saw them in '85 here in Boston !!! VERY few bands EVEN COME CLOSE..
I just bought it digitally (I know, I know...) as, to my shame, I realised I didn't actually own a copy and the production sounds kind of muddy to me. Only criticism as the songs are pretty much flawless. What I love about it is the cover art: very minimal, un-metal like (for the time) and open to interpretation. I mean, remove all the wording and most people would have no clue as to what type of music we're dealing with (unlike the first two albums!). Very mature decision for the band. Of course, it's since gone on to be an iconic image and the single one most associated with Anthrax (bit like Metallica's MOP cover).
Spreading the Disease, probably along with the first Metal Church album, strikes that perfect balance between thrash and traditional metal. Phenomenal albums the both of them.
agreed, saw both bands on those albums, David Wayne was a monster singer, Anthrax was a mosh madhouse.
You’re lucky you got to see those tours, that’s awesome. I didn’t discover those albums until the early nineties....and there’s people much younger than me discovering this stuff a lot later than that. Timeless music.
I'm like Dave when i'm listening to Anthrax ❤🤘🏼
Same here
Hell yeah man!
Fuck yeah!!
what song he said he loved?
@ A.I.R.
85-86 Were the best years. The metal, skating, and comics were in their golden age. Bring back my old school.
Must have been nice, im 18 and would do anything to have been there
@@kadedashnow8613 it was great, but enjoy your youth, because all of us old school rockers would rather be 18. Party on dude.
I graduated high school in 1985 I am glad I grew up when metal was in its beginnings I always had Anthrax cranked on my car stereo!
Mosh pits in the 80's were legendary!
Indeed they were, bruises were good proof you had a great time in the pit!
I think the unsung heroes of this documentary's series are the caterpillars standing in for Scott's eyebrows.
Hahaha. It's the beard I can't take my eyes off. In just about any other walk of life he'd be pilloried for that.

This is the best music documentary I’ve ever seen. These episodes are so well constructed, and this one was especially magical. Can’t wait to see more!!! Anthrax rules!!!!! 🤘🏼😆🤘🏼
I was totally into New Wave in the early 80s. I was born in 1970, so the 80s were my teenage years. By age 15 I started getting into heavier music. Mtv was huge in the 80s, and was my primary source for discovering new music. The first heavy metal song I really got into was “Run To The Hills” by Iron Maiden. I loved it from the first time I saw the video. That got me into watching Headbangers Ball. In 1986 Anthrax hosted Headbangers Ball, and from the second I heard them I was hooked on thrash metal and, especially, Anthrax. They were my favorite band through the 80s. Now, 35 years later, I still love Anthrax and thrash. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long.
Know exactly where you're coming from, where did all that time go? ... seems like yesterday
We all love Anthrax because they are genuine, no fake anything. What you see is what you get and if you don't like them and their music, it's your loss.
I'm from Brazil and been a metal head since 1985. I remember the Brazilian metal bands all looked evil, dressed in black and talked about the devil. That's what Sepultura were about in Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions. Then in 1986 they shocked us with Schizophrenia. But not only for the music they started making, but also because the way they were dressing: they started wearing beach shorts and colored t-shirts, backwards baseball caps, looked goofy and smiled a lot on pictures. We didn't understand why, for there were no Anthrax albums released in Brazil yet. We understood it a bit later, when Anthrax got more popular and started appearing on metal magazines. They were a huge influence on Sepultura's attitude at that point.
good times )
You guys are KILLING ME with the Medusa image! I don't want it on a shirt. I want a full size POSTER/PRINT!
It is awesome
I like watching Scott Jam with other famous guitarists. You can see a little kid glowing over his own awe of the situation, not even realizing he is that same metal god in our eyes. A humble god he is.
Seen Anthrax 6 or 7 times here in the UK. They're still the funnest live band ever!
Scott Ian will make you have a good time at the show whether you like it or not.
Really love that guy!
Or NOT ... du du du du NOT du du du du du NOT !!🤘🤘🤘
@Skip R Nah he's cool ... plus his channel has videos, playlists etc :P
I will always respect a band that can write songs about Stephen King and Judge Dredd and just make it work.
Anthrax was The Perfect unit with Joey. No Metal band at the time could Touch Them imo.
AIR is like being in a muscle car hurtling along the highway doing 120mph. Insane feeling of momentum in that song.
Exactly how I feel about Gung-Ho, man!!
Milk
I got teared up when Simmons shows up. What an honor for the group to have their idol compliment them. Right in the feels
The re-recorded versions with John on vocals from 2004s album The Greater Of Two Evils are even heavy as fuck! It has A.I.R., Madhouse, Gung-Ho and Lone Justice on it. Really worth a listen
I so love that album! John did some kick ass versions of classic Anthrax. John is an amazing vocalist and I would love to see a tour where all three vocalist rip through the Anthrax catalog. Anthrax rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@williamperez6251 I don't know how they don't do that every time! They need to bring Bush out on the road and really give a full career show. Have Joey do Bush's stuff, have Bush do Joey's stuff, just have a friggin party and celebrate!
There’s a reason why Anthrax is part of the big four. They write amazing music and have killer album art that caught my eye as a kid. Love this band
Got the vinyl of Spreading in 1986 in Rome at this awesome store called Disfunzioni Musicali, and it's still part of my collection. I just love these guys, they're genuine. They introduced the fun element in thrash metal as well as elements of urban culture that at the the time made me relate to these guys like no other metal band. Saw them live for the first time in Tokyo in 2019. When they came up on stage I cried joyful tears, and felt just like I was 17-year old again. Thank you Anthrax for all the good, powerful vibes you guys gave me in the past 40 years. And congrats for this awesome series you're sharing with us. Keep them coming! Tons of love from an Italian living in Beijing.
I was 22 when this album came out. It changed my life. Still today in my top 5 favorites. My cousin was in the Crumbsuckers and opened for Anthrax at L'Amour. It was like being in church for metal heads. The 80s were the best!!!
Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth have vocalists, Anthrax's got a singer.
Wicked album. Was my first on cassette. Also Frank looks like he hasn't aged since 1984.
Proud and fortunate to have witnessed the rise of Thrash out of the underground. 1985 was the year it all broke out and Spreading the Disease is one of those albums that exemplified this era. I still love it to this day!
I've never heard Slash speak until now. ☠️☠️
😂
I find it hilarious listening to Slash talk about "vocal shortcomings"....
Love the cameos on this episode, this was such a great album and STILL IS! Dan's Sneaker game was so dope back in the days too!
I don't want this series to ever end!
Do you guys still geek out when Gene Simmons talks about how awesome you guys are? That's gotta be a dream come true.
Gene has a fond admiration for any profitable enterprise.
@@ameliaward7429 He probably saw Scott’s tattoo and thought about how many other people have as well $$
I was a massive Kiss fan growing up but I absolutely can't stand Gene Simmons anymore. When Gene and Trump cease to exist, the world will be a better place.
@@paulmallon9292 I had a friend tell me one time that Dan Lilker came to one of my shows and was telling him how he really enjoyed it. My friend may have lied or maybe Lilker lied about liking us to be nice, but I don't care, I like that story and I prefer to think it's true.
I would have to imagine the giant Kiss fans in Anthrax would probably feel the same way.
@@therisendead7 you cant stand anyone with a different political opinion to you? grow up kid.
Dude all the way through the Persistence Of Time album there was no bullshit about Anthrax! Amazing documentary series so far!
Every metal band needs to hop on board and do episodes like Anthrax is doing.
It would be awsome to see!
The classic Anthrax lineup.
Disease, Among, Euphoria, Persistence, Worship, Kings.
That's a pretty flawless discography.
Can't wait for the next one.
Umm Dan Spitz?
@@FiregloFor real! Dan Spitz's solos are iconic.
One thing I love about Anthrax, and what still draws me to them, they're people that you know!
They could live down your street, you could've gone to school with them.
If they saw you walking down the street, they'd say, "Hi ".
They're not up their own asses!
They're a serious band, that don't take themselves too seriously!
Spreading the disease is my second favorite album by anthrax
Spreading is their masterpiece, pure madhouse perfection 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😵🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😵🤘🤘🤘🤘
It really is.
For me Persistence is their masterpiece, but Spreading is perfect as well. Matter of taste, really.
Man, I haven't waited so impatiently for the next episode of the show since "Breaking Bad"!
Dave Mustaine truly loves Anthrax :)
I just want Scott to fix me a drink. That assortment behind him looks wonderful
@Andrew Salter I know the Anthrax whiskey is about $160. We had it earlier this year
@Andrew Salter it was way too strong for me but it was good. It was the Evil Twin 2 rye whiskey.
@Andrew Salter we got the Anthrax for a new years but yea I agree. A bit pricey! I had Blackened too, that was okay. Had a quick shot.
One of his bottles is worth more than 6 or 7 I got. I have never spent more than $60 on a bottle but I do want what the bands have had bottled. I've seen Slipknot Iowa whiskey for around a $100
@@serpentinesecrets6771 I saw that one not too long ago, the Slipknot one. Think it was $50 bucks. Haven't tried that one.
Anthrax was a huge part of my high school years from 1985 to 1989. The bands I was in used to cover a few Anthrax tubes. Loved it.
Im originally from Ling Island NY (Islip/Suffolk County) n have been an Anthrax ever since i heard their STATE OF EUPHORIA cassette tape.
Was hooked since.
I've got ANTHRAX tattooed on the side of my left forearm.
I've seen them live 4 x's since 1997.
December 6th 1997 i saw an opening band Coal Chamber Anthrax n Pantera (headlined).
During Anthrax's set Phil Anslemo came out to do a CELTIC FROST cover w/Anthrax.
Greatest metal band (ANTHRAX) ever.
40 years ..... Wow man.
Greetings from Pittsburgh Pa USA
Medusa is my favorite Anthrax song ever, so I understand how important this album was.
Documentary turns into a we love Anthrax name drop. Hopefully ep 7 will ‘document’ this period
7:18 watching Dave headbang to A.I.R. is just awesome! 🤘🤘
I saw them 2 times on the Metal Hammer Roadshow with Overkill and Agent Steel - my first Stagediving Expieriences !
Saw them with Slayer, Lamb of God, Testament and Behemoth, and Anthrax absolutely stole that show! The energy compared to the rest was insane!!
Wasn't expecting Slash to sound like that. Thought it was over dubbed
I've rediscovered Anthrax through this video series. Was a HUGE fan in high school, Spreading and Among era. I actually got to hang with them on their Among the Living tour. It was before the show, David Wayne (Metal Church, RIP) asked my friends and I if we were security. Umm...lol, no. He was cool though and said we probably shouldn't be backstage.
Then, like Slayer, I think I started to take myself to seriously.
Rock on Scott and company.
On a side note, Scott called my an asshole on Twitter a few years back. My claim to fame lol. I deserved it.
I'm absolutely stunned that Gene likes them. I wouldn't have thought that.
There is a video of Anthrax recording a KISS song, I think it was She, and Gene & Paul were in the studio with them.
WHY DIDN"T ANYBODY TALK ABOUT GUNG-HU????? HOW COULD YOU??????
GUNG HO IS THE MOST BRUTAL SONG OF THAT ERA!!!!
Anthrax was always very fun to watch. They always looked like they were having lots of fun
and that was really very inspiring too, 'cos having fun is the main reason for having a band and making music.
"Anthrax Live at Bochum 1986" is a killer performance to watch. They were already Metal Royalty.
Pure brutality with a happy face!
Whoa, whoa, whoa Corey...Anthrax heavy as SLAYER???
You mean FUCKIN SLAYER?
Fuckin amazing GENE SIMMONS giving Anthrax props Zah!!!!!!!
Bought this album in 1987 on LP. What a classic!
Repeating myself from previous episode but"Spreading is definitely my favourite ANTHRAX album. I listened to it continuously for about a year . LOOVED IT , then .....Reign in blood took over . CLAssic Album !!
Striking down the enemy fighting hand to hand!
Troops are charging onward time to take command!
Haven't really listened to anthrax in years but after seeing Scott Ian with Mr bungle I'm all in again
Spreading the Disease will always hold a special place inside me, and is my favorite Anthrax album
I'm loving this series! Some awesome cameos on this episode... Michael Paulson and Nergal?! Hell yes!
AIR should always be on the setlist! The few times I've seen them play it live have been some of the most fun circle pits I've been in!
Anthrax is one of those few bands that every song on their albums can and should be played on the radio.they put everything they have in each song while most bands make 2 or 3 songs thats good enough to be played on the radio.
@@humbug4478 im talking about the band.even now all their songs can and should be played on the radio
This album was my first introduction to the band. Still gets regular rotation around here.
More more more please👏👏🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦
I saw Anthrax in 1987 with Testament In Pensecola Florida. Awesome Show
I've never considered Anthrax as rock and roll I've always considered them Punk Rock same goes for Joan Jett! Bad-ass Punk!
I'm the Man E.P. introduced me to Anthrax when I was 12. They were heavy, different, wacky and funny, i was hooked! It got me into metal, and playing guitar, Skeletons In the Closet was first guitar riff i learned besides Wipeout! Among the Living. Probably my favorite Metal Album of all Time. Rawk on good people!
Man this series is fantastic. Thank you for making it and putting it on You Tube.
So many great memories. My Anthrax experience started in the early 2000s as a teenager and this album and those songs were perfect then and still perfect now
Hell yeah! I remember reading my brother's copy of Smash Hits mag in '86 where it carried a small column of interview with Scott, along with a pic of him, his guitar and a boot hanging at the end of it. That's how much thrash metal influence Anthrax flexed into the pop culture. \m/
These Anthrax 40 episodes are the best thing on YT right now! Thank you Anthrax!
08:09 I feel the same way about the Japanese female bands like Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Mary's Blood... They're good on record but I can only take so much, but I could watch them play live all day long! I'm blown away by the musicianship and the force of the music. Like Gene said, live, it's an assault.
I love that Scott said we never wanted or needed to have that band fasad....
That was an excellent episode! Rob Zombie ended up nailing it - you shouldnt be having a better time than the guys on stage. If they are into it, the crowd will be also!. So many names names names names in this one. Fukn Loved it!!
One word to describe this episode and AnthraX... */w\FUN/w\*
Thank you so much for this. I look forward to every new episode. Absolutely awesome!
Anthrax rules 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Back in high school I was a devoted Metallica head. One of my buddies introduced me to Anthrax one day and insisted I give it a try. 30-something years later I still love their music.
Thanks, Brandon! I owe you one, buddy.
I love what Rob Zombie says about the band. I've watched dozens of live shows, from the early days until very recently and no matter the lineup, Scott, Frankie and Charlie are giving it 110%. Even when they play Indians and Caught in a Mosh for the 700th time, it's like they're as into it as they were back when they wrote those songs.
Anthrax didn't need a manufactured image. The music did the talking. ❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Medusa has the greatest groove in metal!! I was in highschool when this album came out!
"We never needed that persona."
Why Anthrax endured for me long past most other bands...
Medusa.....holy 🐮!! That riff is killerrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Spreading the Disease is the second studio album by the American thrash metal band Anthrax, released on this day 10/30/85 by Megaforce Records and Island Records. It was the band's first album to feature vocalist Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello. A special two-disc edition of the album was released in 2015, celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Great point by Rob zombie about Scott.
Best Anthrax album,instant metal classic MUST HAVE.
Great memories. State of Euphoria was my first Anthrax album, worked my way backwards to Among the Living and Spreading shortly after. Enjoyed them all thoroughly and still enjoy them to this day.
All of these commentators are MY PEOPLE. Loving these videos so much!
I just wish the episodes were longer. This is sick!
I had the cassette in my Walkman like every day when I had ny first real job at 12 in 1988 . Was doing janitorial work in a school and I brought this tape with me like every time. Favorite tune would probably be A.I.R
Always put everything they've got into their shows💯🤘⚡
💋🖤💯🤘🤘
I liked the „smiling thing“ a lot!
That made em different and symphatic!
The best Thrash album ever.........ok definitely in the top five. My favorite Anthrax album.
I fucking love these guys!! They were like me and my friends, wearing what ever, goofing around just being our selves having a good time. My #1 all time favorite band🤘🤘🤘🤘
First saw Anthrax support Metallica in the UK (MOP Tour)
Honestly they were great, and we met Anthrax after the gig and were the nicest guys I ever met alongside Maiden.
Great guys and they have never changed.
Best of The Big 4! 🤘
.... and Mike Portnoy left Dream Theater in 2010 😉
So glad to have seen them live. My favourite band. Thanks Guys :)
I remember seeing the MADHOUSE Video on Nightflight a long time ago it was awesome. I love the guitar tone from that album. next one Among. Hell yes.
