@@rade9215 bro what
Ah yes, metal watchmojo
😂
That’s a bit harsh Lmfao but they do some really good interviews

Watchmojo sucks.
Watchmojo is the metal Watchmojo.
52 y/o metal head. I love how wholesome it has become. We’re all just people man!
I'm 54 n I hear you lol. OMG I can remember everything being said that us Metal Heads were all a bunch of Devil Worshipers, drug addicts, crime riddled low life's, stupid and lazy sleaze balls. I just used to look at ppl n go really that's what you think about us? Hear listen to this n tell me where you hear any of that. LOL
We were kinda wholesome. The imagery was mean, but were good friends.
In MTV‘s defense, that’s how I discovered Anthrax. Antisocial on the Headbangers Ball!
me too bro
interestingly enough, Anti-social isn't even an original song. It is a cover from the french band Trust.
They had lots of vids on the HBB! Indians, I'm the Man, Antisocial, Got the Time, Madhouse...
I guess he means they didn't get on the all day shows, Top 20 Countdown, Like Bon Jovi, Motley crue Home Sweet Home level
Headbangers Ball was an awesome Show. The only Reason, why I watched MTV
"Indians" was a song played on there a lot as well. Awesome song, but not allowed to say that word in 2024 lmao! 🤣
“My leads are archaic, for sure.” I don’t think KKing understands what archaic means. And Anthrax were all over MTV’s Headbanger’s ball. It’s how I first heard Anthrax. Saw all their videos there.
I remember it the same way. Plus when they did the song with public enemy it was all over MTV when I was a kid. I loved headbangers ball.
Did he mean chaotic, perhaps?
I think he means archaic in a primitive, caveman sort of way.
anarchic
Lol, you caught that too! I was like "well yeah...but I don't think that's what you meant."
Long live thrash metal!
hell yeah, brother
Amen 🙏🏽 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
6 months after picking up your first guitar you join exodus lol that's wild
What I took away from that video is I need to become a guitar tech for Exodus
...and Kirk Hamet showed him it's first chord and now he's way better than him!
Gary Holt seems like an awesome guy to sit and talk to…. Id like to have a few beers with him someday
I went and saw Anthrax with Exodus back in 2014. Gary Holt was standing out front, on the sidewalk, smoking a cigarette.
@@FortessofShred not surprised….. he seems like an everyday metalhead….
He’s a leftist asshole
Yeah he seems super cool and he stepped into an impossible role to fill in Slayer, yet he done it with all the class and respect Jeff deserved. In fact Gary Holt is probably my second favorite guitar player in Slayer Jeff then Gary lol . I’ve never bought KK’s edge lord hot topic everything anyone who knows nothing about metal is the whole vibe KK has chosen to show the world. I preferred the Raiders Jerseys to the spikes and chains because that’s what Thrash was about “run what you brung” stepping out of the crowd onto the stage.
not gonna happen, he's been sober for quite some time new, maybe some pork ribs will do
Anthrax was always on MTV in the 80’s, that’s the only way I knew about them and I knew those songs well because of it.
still. not as much as poison and motley crue and cinderella and all those bands.
Man I hope I look as good as some of these guys when I become 40-50 years old.
Tom, Dave and Kerry are in their late 50's or early 60's.
All of these guys are well past 50 😅
@@thickenstein yeah, I still I hope I look this good when I’m in my 40s
@@JoeStanek-vu7rlMan, I turn 52 this year & I was in (11/12 y.o.) middle school already when Slayer were touring for their first nationally released album when THEY were like 18-21 y.o.
...and you think they are just still in their 40's/ early 50's? I'm sure they appreciate your kind miscalculation, though! 🤘🎸😅💭thx!👍 but, ....NO. They've hit their 60's by now. Think about it, the band formed over 40 years ago. They weren't in diapers still, writing & screaming aggressive, evil lyrics & playing distorted electric guitars on the devil's scale, they were grown.
@@JoeStanek-vu7rl my prior comment was supposed to be a reply to @ ToTheNines original comment, not to yours, my bad...
It’s cool that I saw Exodus with the Skin Lab vocalist filling in on that tour in Vancouver. I’m getting old.
Jason is such a nice guy.
I never knew Bobby Blitz's regular talking voice was that squeaky.
It's crazy how many people think metal people are bad.
Stereotypes are everywhere. "Metal people" are a very loving, caring, and fierce family. All are welcome.
Look at the comment section under any Metallica video where the fans of less popular metal bands are bitterly trashing them for being more successful. Metal fans are the most petty bitter music fans there are.
@@captainjefferies9047 Bound to be some assholes in every group. My 30 years on the scene, disagree with you.
I challenge anyone to go to a metal show and watch the pit and how yes, people hit each other, but if someone falls down, others help 'em up and make sure they're okay.
1:12 kerrys face lol
Love the Madhouse video so much!
That was fun seeing the Kerry interview
0:25 I guess they’re just referring to Tom’s scream at the start of AOD referring to Megele’s victims
IT's about the wailing whammy bars
No it's specifically about Jeff and Kerry's solos with exorbitant use if whammy and harmonics.
It's because you make a guitar "scream" by playing a harmonic on the highest tuned strings and using the whammy bar (bending it forward and backward) to make it go higher and lower in pitch, which can imitate a human screaming. Early rock and metal guitar solos made use of this technique, of which predate Slayer as a band. Evidence of this is when King himself looks quizzically, and responds by saying "My leads are archaic, for sure."
Slayer stood out early on for a lot of things, and wild atonal solos were one of them. Aping Maiden or Priest wasn’t going to work for their music.
Tom screams on other songs too, though - and the others aren't about Mengele lol
that story of Mustaine pouring beer in Rob's guitar is in VH1 Behind the Music: Megadeth... From Rob!
Yeah? Looks like ole mustine is full of a four letter word after all!!
@@user-lh9eg1mk9n yeah no joke. Back when it came out, my bandmates and I were obsessed with Megadeth. One of them tried to pull that shit on my bass after we watched it.
@@aleksandarcastaneda3282 - Interesting. I'll have to check it out. I give credit to Daves talent as a guitarist and lyric writer as I do own a couple of Megadeth's albums, but due to his drug addicted nature he can be such an asshole!!!!
@@user-lh9eg1mk9nit’s not the drugs. Drugs and alcohol make things worse by lowering inhibition. If you’re not a jerk in the first place you don’t become one just because you’re drunk.
@@MDK2_RadioThank you! I met Mustaine during an autograph signing event on their So Far, So Good, So What... tour and Mustaine was a total asshat. I stood in line for him to treat me and others like a total dick. Was it the drugs? He didn't seem to be on the nod, wasn't scratching, nor was he acting like he was spun or couldn't sit still. He was just being himself. Dave Ellefson was cool guy though, idk why but that surprised the hell outta me.
☮️
Gary Holt is hilarious. "You're not a technician at anything" His complete boredom at the thought of playing Wild Horses was funny too.
If Jesus were a metal fan he would look exactly like Tom Arya 😂😂
If jesus was metal fan slayer they would never had a song ike antichrist😅😅😅😅😅😅👹
as a mentally ill person I do in fact love anthrax
White noise was on MTV ad nauseum.
People tend to forget that they were on stage with one of the most prominent rap groups of all time doing “Bring the noise” Public Enemy
Fictionpedia
The mustaine story comes from mcgovney himself
Yip. He says it on 'Megadeth: Behind the Music'.
Yeah, I remember it from behind the music but wasnt sure who said it. If it was Ron, he might have embellished it a bit tbh...because the guitar really wont blow you across the room if you get it wet.
Yup, I've heard tell the story himself numerous times. Doesn't mean he isn't exaggerating.
‘Your good’ is my fave
I'd probably be freaking out too on whether I have cancer from Chernobyl!!
Didn't Anthrax call that tour the "Fuck the fallout tour"?
@@simonmorris361 No clue
I've been in a nuthouse five times (hell, just got out of one), and I can attest that yes, crazy people are fans of Anthrax. We didn't play any Anthrax when I was at this last one, but we did have Roku and we played a lot of metal. One guy played Slayer, and I played some Type O. Most of the folks liked terrible new rap music, so that's mostly what got played, unfortunately. Wish I'd thought to play Madhouse.
Sure you did
B. S. I saw Anthrax on MTV all the damn time.
Bring the Noise got quite a bit of air time on MTV, probably more to do with Public Enemy than Anthrax though.
Araya's fashion is stuck in 2002. 😆
What's wrong with that
@@TheIcpfan23 No nothing. It's just I remember those shirts from middle school 😆.
Imagine caring about fashion
@@kkoch666 imagine liking Slayer.
@@E.Humperdinck Easy, one of my favorites!
Frankie Bello is such a good dude.
Love Tom's t-shirt.
I think Frank is downplaying the exposure of Antisocial and Got the Time on MTV.
Headbanger’s Ball played those videos quite often.
Gary Holt's jacket is fucking cool
1987 Hollywood palladium someone died waiting in line before the door's opened! Dark Angel opened, maybe the dude died for Dark angel 😅 anyways Dan liker is 💯 hung with him for 3 days up in Buena Park CA 1987.
Yeah, we had the big four, we had Overkill, Testament nad Exodus too.....where is Kreator, where is Destruction, where is Sodom, where is Tankard? Did anybody know, that Thrash Metal has his roots in Germany?
I doubt that any of the Teutonic ones predate the original bay area bands
I doubt that .
Frank is correct. The only video I ever saw from Anthrax on MTV was Antisocial. And I used to watch it religiously, especially headbanger's ball
They played the shit out of Indians too. Madhouse and Belly Of The Beast once in a great while.
Bring the noise got a lot of airplay as well.
@@monstermcgregor4688
It did now that I think a out it. So did I'm The Man to a point.
@@Powermad-bu4em Bring the Noise was even on during the day, surely Public Enemy had more to do with that than Anthrax, but that was the 90s when thrash bands started making changes to gain commercial airplay too.
BS. I saw only like 50 times.
Come on Loudwire it's 2024 we all can handle F bombs, stop Bleeping that shit out.
Yes, we can, but youtube can't. It demonetizes their videos.
This reminds me of that Elizabeth Cotten song "Old Woman Keep Tellin' Her Lies on Me"
Sweet guitar screams
The internet does tell anything. PEOPLE write the content - at least in those days - although AI 'writes' some of it now.
Blotzer looks like Chris Pine or the reverse
The first thing was a comparison, if anything it was a compliment. In the subject matter itself the said "victims" were screaming and the guitars mimicked those screams, unintentionally. KK is a smart one!
Thrash to me is a very sexy noise! 🤟😬🤟
Who are we to get in the way of a good story?
👿🔱😈 awesome dyed beard pops 😂
Graham is such a mark any time he does these.
Friggin Bob Rock
Interviewer: solo’s meant to mimic the screams of the songs victims
Kerry King: not true but hey good idea 😂
Hello Loud wire it’s nice to meet you my name is Nick David Hagen
Loudwire should start doing stuff with newer bands on the rise......
What new bands? Please enlighten me.
What do you mean?
Does rock and roll still exist though? But the heck's out there right now. Besides, stupid shit like alterbridge
@@bertall1ca ummm.... all kinds. A lot of new bands out there doing good sonic sound. But i dont feel like your really asking for recommendations.
I feel like your one of those Internet kids who would just whine over any band I mention.
@@JediShoalinVigilante Be cool to see more stuff on Bands that are growing.
😎 get those fingers 👉 working
3.6 weeks of bread and water. Not great, not terrible.
Made my Day! 🤣
SLAYER, Anthrax SOD MOD Testament Vio-lence, Exodus 🤘Thrash metal rules 🤘
i'll take this one Mr. King. It sounds like it was written by someone who desperately fantasizes about being a pitchfork music reviewer. They've got all the pretentiousness it takes but they're just not talented enough and do not possess the lexicon to get that sniff your own farts reviewing style
Imagine if Mtv had been fair to rock and metal. It would have been beautiful.
To he fair, 80's MTV was pretty much all rock. Especially the glam scene. Then '91 happened and grunge became the new exciting thing.
The mid 90's MTV did habe rock/metal programs, but this was also when rap/r&b really blew up.
This is also the period where MTV introduced stuff like The Real World and Road Rules. Some of, if not the first "reality tv" shows. They were such a hit that MTV never looked back.
Today, MTV is essentially the 24 hour Ridiculousness/Catfish channel. It's trash.
Ironically, on satellite, MTV has multiple channels. The main one is trash but the other channel DOES play rock/metal videos from the 80's and 90's. But you have to pay extra to get the channel.
MTV knows what people want. But for some reason, they refuse to give them that.
@@ZackMorris1015 but after that it became all pop and hip hop.
@@Platinumpuppy not sure if you read my entire post.
@@ZackMorris1015 it’s early so it may not be processing without coffee. There was a point MTV declared rock dead. They did short programs saying it was dead. Well, they tried to murder it.
@@Platinumpuppy understandable.
Yeah I mean it's ironic. In the 80's it was MTV to a large extent that shined a hige spotlight on the rock scene. But then around '91 when grunge happened, TV AND radio execs saw it as a new exciting thing and made it seem as if rock wasn't relevant anymore.
It wasn't that rock/metal died in the 90s, because both genre's had MASSIVE followings. It was simply a matter of the executives in charge of tv and radio trying their hardest to hide and downplay their music while promoting something else as the new thing.
His leads are archaic? If by archaic, you mean they sound like classic Kerry King, then sure.
Where's Graham? Bring him back!
ABSOLUFUKINLUTLY THRASH METAL RULES!!!!🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀
Newsted is lying. Lars said he never wanted to work with Bob Rock ever again after the Black Album was done.
Well wat happin was.....
There would be no sane people if we didn't have heavy metal
What?
hell awaits has the lyrics to "kill again" so that one is actually true. its literally about a serial killer, and yes, serial killers have victims lol
When artists refer to records it means songs more than anything
By internet, you mean Wikipedia. Risking too much?... Just saying.
How about the biggest lie of all that is said about it and that is it's good
I heard this claim on the internet that listening to trash metal makes your beard grow faster. (Applies also to women.)
Cmon Kerry you know your leads aren’t in key nothing wrong with that it’s metal 😂🤘🏽
Kerry that's how they want out < of the HELL
German Thrash Metal? South American Thrash Metal? New Wave of Thrash Metal?
Is it just me or does the theme music to this channel sound an awful lot like The Goonies theme music?
some are on the category of false but kind of true lolz
Kerry king never played his parts. Fight me.
I miss Graham's awkwardness
I don’t
In village vhen I vas child but not vith child because I'm he boy .
Bullshit. Anthrax was all over MTV.
I remember Kerry rocking confederate flags over the years. Dude even had the “you wear your X, I’ll wear mine” shirt. Now he’s a pop star with Trump derangement syndrome. Crazy world.
So you really think nobody has a legitimate gripe with 45? That’s a real derangement syndrome, as is the need to bring politics here in the first place.
@@MDK2_Radio Dude, I didn’t bring in politics. HE did.
Mustaine wants everyone to know that he Ron are friends.
Clearly, it just somehow surfaced during normal, casual conversation & NOT intentionally gift wrapped & neatly placed at your front door.
🚪🎐🔔 Oh, someone's at the door... I wonder who that could be....I'll get it.
What's Frank Bello bellyaching on MTV (non) airplay of Anthrax footage and saying MTV never played their videos for? That band had SO MANY videos on rhe air that I got burned out on that band & got more & more sick of watching or even of listening to them. There was a big, long, chunky period in which you couldn't put on the channel without Anthrax on the tv screen. They even jumped on the metal/rap fusion with the Public Enemy blended w metal for "Bring The Noise". & If not THAT., the outcry for the Indians by Joey Beladonna got way overplayed so much that Iwill never again see an Indian Chief Head Dress on ANYONE without seeing the singers face inside of it, prancing around on the stage following the Scott Ian chant "WAR DANCE!", let alone the countless other videos that were made AFTER that voideo over the years until they stopped airing music videos altogether. If it hadn't been for MTV's excessive Anthrax airplay, myself & millions of other music fans would barely ever heard of the band...if at all. Admit it Bello, your band faded bc you goiys never wrote, played, or contributed to the world any more good, worthy of top level recognition music after while. It just stopped working for you guys all around because you ran out of new, appealing music to keep us interested.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
....TRUTH.
Yeah they got the most play on headbangers ball and heavy metal half hour besides Metallica and Megadeth
Recycled content smh
I dont know Why they didn't go with the name Virgin Core
Trash been dead for over 30 years
Just because you don't look for modern thrash bands or like them doesn't mean the scene is dead.
Nah, just returned to underground.
@@unclebob7937 yeah, that's what i mean. The underground in practically all sub-genres of metal are thriving. Death metal and its many sub genre's have been having a revival for quite a while now.
@@ZackMorris1015 Agreed. 🤘
Lying is satanic and rad, so what's the problem?
is it true Kerry that you got kicked out of Megadeth cos you aren't good enough?
is it true Marty Friedman that you actually love Metallica😂 I know it is he says so in multiple interviews.
The mentally ill were not Anthrax fans 🤣🤘
This channel is pure excrement indeed
The guy who makes the interviews is the most BORING guy on earth, i cant see a complete video because of him, i start to fall a sleep....
Lies the internet told about thrash metal: "Slayer is a great band"
fact, Slayer guitar player (guess who) plays 15 minutes boring solos...🤣😂🤣🤘🍻🍺
Thrash Metal is trash metal. Thank God Nu-Metal and Alternative Metal came along and saved the day. Yep, I just said it! Fight me. 🤣
Nice bait
Nobody cares.
Having fun at the back of the Short Bus?
@@DFlores2009 It's definitely some bait, but I'm also being honest.. Thrash metal was never my thing. Hell, my two favorite Megadeth albums are Cryptic Writings and Youthanasia. I got to see Slayer live in concert though with Hanneman and I must say that was absolutely amazing!
Completely agree. First Korn album is better than any thrash record
Yeah, Dan played sloppy and got kicked out of Anthrax and then co-formed grind band Brutal Truth which was noisy chaotic political grind that kicked anthrax’s ass.
Brutal Truth are terrible.
Anthrax shouldn't even be in the Big four. Testament should be. Nobody listens to Anthrax. They are a shity version of iron maiden that nobody in the metal game takes seriously. They're more like a party metal band
Do you even know what the "big four" signify? Obviously not
What an ignorant comment . The big 4 does not mean " the bands you like over the bands I like ".
Anthrax shouldn't even be in the Big four. Testament should be. Nobody listens to Anthrax. They are a shity version of iron maiden that nobody in the metal game takes seriously. They're more like a party metal band
You know the "Big Four" moniker is all label marketing right? They were called that because they sold the most records.
They were the first 4 thrash bands signed to major labels, that's all.
It's not the Best 4.
