Pretty dope having Scott on the show. I came up on Anthrax as well as many other bands and he's totally right about that hair-glam metal bullshit. Much props not to mention that their drummer & bass player "Charlie & Frank" grew up not to far from my old hood in the BRONX!!!!
One interesting connection between Anthrax and Black Sabbath is Anthrax original lead guitarist Dan Spitz brother Dave Spitz was the bass player for Black Sabbath in 1986 when the two bands toured together.
Dave Spitz played with Tony Iommi, but the Seventh Star Album, was not a Black Sabbath album. It was a Tony Iommi solo project, it was due to record company pressure and contractual obligation that Iommi was forced to release it as a "Black Sabbath" album. It all kind of made sense to me as I saw Iommi on the Seventh Star tour with Ray Gillan on vocals (brilliant) but they were even selling Black Sabbath 'Born Again' tour guides.
I'm in agreement with Scott. I like the old school stuff better too. I listen to everything. I feel generally that the older rap and metal have more feeling to them.
Trust me Sway is going to be a House hold name. Sway in the morning is going to be one of "The" ultimate top radio show . Their diversity is just dope. #SaluteSway
Hendrix influenced the psychedelic side of rock and was perhaps the GOAT. Zeppelin was put together by studios and labels as an end all be all. Deep purple is ight. What Scotty is saying is sabbath is the direct influence of metal getting progressively heavier.
i met ian after a show in vegas in the 90's. i was just a teen a little bloodied from the mosh pit so stoked to see him on the casino floor. it was a total let down never meet one of your heros is what i learned from that day. he actually said we were bad luck when he was gambling. we didnt want a picture or to hangout. we just wanted to say hi and we liked the show. i always think man i wish i could go back to that moment, so i could cave his little 5ft tall face in.
Had a chance to hang with Sway at the Playboy mansion in 2001. Not bragging, actually the reason why the 2 of us kind of stuck together that night was because we both felt so awkward being there. He is as genuine and personable as you would think he is. I'll never forget that night.
Scott did his best to explain it, Black Sabbath , England, rainy , after war. still bomed out buildings. . Vietnam war, government oppresion. fighting authority, outcast in school . Urban life , gangs , drugs. oppression, racism. very much a connection between Metal and Hip Hop. Just expressed using different musical styles. Whites had Elvis and Black Sabbath , Led Zepplin , Blacks had James Brown , Mowtown and Funkadelic And both had Jimi Hendrix
I'm a black guy and Black Sabbath are my favorite band. I always felt drawn to the band based on its dreary and morbid outlook on life. The music matched the lyrics.
Nico Strasso I wish people would get into how some metal deals with the really big and deep introspective questions as well as the external world. You can deal with it on a surface level of the evil looking images or you can delve deeper into what songs might mean. There's also a sense of humor in it. Not a lot of that in pop music today. It just seems that even though metal guys screan a lot in their songs there is/was a better vocabulary than a lot of the current pop music.
liver666 Well he was talking about bands he listened to that influenced their music. Megadeth put out their debut in 85. A year after Anthrax debut so I guess thats why.
she called him "Ian" haha. Good grief. I've been a fan of many genres of music my entire life. What i don't understand is how most of the hosts have a sense of pride about not knowing anything about rock n' roll and heavy metal. As a fan of music i just don't understand limiting my experiences or not exploring something as profound in the music world as a heavy metal
Well put br0ham.😉👍 i love metal..classic rock..classicAL..ive looked at hiphop..nothing was good passed the beastie boys..p.e..NwA..ice-T..did like Tupac..2LiveCrew..Thats it right there. It got less intellectual for me. Less fun. My heart will always be w TRUE COMPOSED MUSIC. ppl that CAN SING. .play instruments WELL. I already know ppl who can rhyme words well n play w a computer..no offense..IT BORES THE FUK OUTTA ME..the end.
I love Anthrax. I love John Bush. I think Sound of White Noise was a great album. I don't think SoWN was as good as it could have been for a ton of reasons, but mostly because Anthrax was trying to fit into the grunge milieu. Also, there was a healthy dose of Dimebag worship.
Anthrax seemed to be ahead of the curve. The 1 of the big 4 that were east coast. First time I heard the phrases: mosh, NOT, dis, & they put out songs based on Steven King, or comic books. Later became movies. The stand, misery, judge dredd(I am the law). They must've hung around All Jorgensen a bit cuz S.O.D. Did like 3 ministry covers on live from Budokan CD. & Scott appeared for a fraction of a second, shooting a machine big machine gun. On the Revco song Do you think I'm sexy? I was thinking if they were hanging with Uncle Al, the old (we don't do drugs, get our meaning,point not point not watch the beat) was still in affect. Cuz big Al loves his drugs
@@wovokanarchy There was no stealing its was mutualism at its finest in the very early stages. Go watch Get Thrashed and Scott talks about how bad the relationships between Skinheads, Long Hairs and punk was. After bands like D.R.I., Nuclear Assault, Brutal Truth, Cro-Mags, Suicidal etc gave way for Crossover Thrash and everyone kinda fell in love after that. The speed and fuck you attitude of punk mixed with the heaviness and technicalities of Metal.
Scotty is right!! Black Sabbath did invent metal or heavy music. It wasn't just the riffs... lyrically you can't get any more heavier and realistic in 1970 than Geezer's demonic mind!! Think about the hippy shit in that time and BOOM-- You then hear Sabbath!!! One thing I disagree with Scotty about-- the 1st 5 Sabbath albums are the blueprint for metal. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was album #5 and PHENOMENAL!!
Anthrax is so under rated... they were so great, they fell off after the singer change (sorry armored saint sucks) but man.. just "caught in a mosh" is on the same level of One to me, and ditto The Toxic Waltz
Sway please tell rappers to stop making over commercialized bubble gum rap . Rap now is like hair metal in the 80's at least there was chicks though alot of chic's with VD rap it up
Go get your facts check. It's about a Sargent named D. It's a character that hates everyone and everything. Don't be confused with songwriting and living your life. Scott is not racist, or the band SOD
Respect to Sway for bringing in a legend from a different genre of music into a fortress of hip hop
Scott Ian is a legend & his band has well but I'm a black man from the hood & I ❤️ heavy metal music and I'm still gonna slap for the rest of My life
Really good interview. Sway is getting better and better with each episode. I hope he stays on the radio for a long time.
I don't see how there would be a problem between the two music forms. Hip hop and metal, both come from the same gritty, down to earth roots.
I LOVE ANTHRAX
as a fan of hiphop and metal, i love seeing this
Cam Par same here. I’m watching now. I am hoping Sway can do this well.
Agree with both agree with Scott only old school rap
And def agree with both of you I’m s fan of good music
Specially metal. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Facts. People need to stop being elitist. Music is music.
Great interview. I personally love seeing the world's of True Metal and Real Hip Hop come together. Anthrax rules!

One of my fav rock interviews.
heros! I love how Sway's shows always branch out.
Check out when Sebastian Bach was on. Great show!!
This was a great interview hopefully you guys will do more like this
Wish the interview was longer. Great guest

Hold Em Up.... Sway Interviewing Scott Ian.... GotDamn Epic
🤘🏾😁🤘🏾!!!!
Johnny Z had a store in New Jersey called Rock n Roll Heaven prior to managing Metallica and their No life till leather demo with Marsha Z.
I'm in agreement with Scott. I like the old school stuff better too. I listen to everything. I feel generally that the older rap and metal have more feeling to them.
Trust me Sway is going to be a House hold name. Sway in the morning is going to be one of "The" ultimate top radio show . Their diversity is just dope. #SaluteSway
Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin & Deep Purple we're instrumental in creating metal as well.
Hendrix influenced the psychedelic side of rock and was perhaps the GOAT. Zeppelin was put together by studios and labels as an end all be all. Deep purple is ight.
What Scotty is saying is sabbath is the direct influence of metal getting progressively heavier.
Hey Sway, these interviews you have been doing lately are great!
i met ian after a show in vegas in the 90's. i was just a teen a little bloodied from the mosh pit so stoked to see him on the casino floor. it was a total let down never meet one of your heros is what i learned from that day. he actually said we were bad luck when he was gambling. we didnt want a picture or to hangout. we just wanted to say hi and we liked the show. i always think man i wish i could go back to that moment, so i could cave his little 5ft tall face in.

I saw Anthrax with Public Enemy at Madison Square Garden and it also at the Ritz
I luv him. He so old school. I remember when they were Married With Children.
Were on Married with children

It´s more like African Americans had everything, and it was so good that everybody else had to "join in".
i hear scott on things before 97 it stopped for me too there scott
I need a new Anthrax album 2011 was so long ago!
I used to go see Anthrax at L'AMOURS all the time
A little weird he didn’t mention Megadeth with the other big 4 bands ..
liver666 Well he was talking about bands he listened to that influenced their music. Megadeth put out their debut in 85. A year after Anthrax debut so I guess thats why.
Because Megadeth is inferior
@@Zerradable how? Other than the vocals.
Awesome interview!
Wish it was longer, but whadya do?

ian is his middle name
His name is Scott Ian Rosenfeld. So technically, she wasn´t wrong. Also, it´s not uncommon to call someone by their surname.
i think in this case she actually thinks his name is Ian. @@Nghilifa
@@MichaelStBlack Well, WE created it, so it would be incredibly weird to be ignorant of something that is your own creation.

Scott you gotta listen to Mastodon and Lamb Of God. Good shit.
Gojira and Devin Townsand as well
Funny he mentioned the accent, I notice that too when watching old videos
Great interview, Sway!
I would love to see Rock City on ur show! They have written a truck load of hits and they have a new single with 2 Chainz
I love Anthrax. I love John Bush. I think Sound of White Noise was a great album. I don't think SoWN was as good as it could have been for a ton of reasons, but mostly because Anthrax was trying to fit into the grunge milieu. Also, there was a healthy dose of Dimebag worship.
They've always said that dimebag was the 6th member of Anthrax
Respect
i just get grandpa. about 97 is also about where i fell off. foo fighters is last band i got into.
when fishbone toured with the beasties, was anthrax on that bill?
escapekeymusic they were not. Beasties, Fishbone and the Chili Peppers toured together.
I know two Bands called Ebola, one from Germany, one from GB.
Black Sabbath. B6 all day

13:08 Ian?
scott ian is a big horror movie head so i fuck with him. #horrorgeeks
Metal was never DIY. It was predominantly corporate rock. Punk was DIY.
Thrash metal was DIY...Listen to what he says!!
@@jerseysucks6158 Thrash metal just stole hardcore punk's sound and added shredding to it.
@@wovokanarchy There was no stealing its was mutualism at its finest in the very early stages.

Scott will remain the haaarrrrdddesttt evvverrr! #Not 🤘
Black Sabbath is the culprit! \m/

I wish Scott dropped a free style lol
Hip Hop intro.. Ends With Real Music Talent!!
ThrasH HarD hip hop is great man
80 90s
"Ebola" is one amazing Thai metal band... People need to grow up, a name is a name... What counts is what's behind.
Scott's aunt sounds hot
So basically he stopped listening to new rap when Tupac and biggie died? Yes, I know where he is coming from
Sway please tell rappers to stop making over commercialized bubble gum rap . Rap now is like hair metal in the 80's at least there was chicks though alot of chic's with VD rap it up
Thrash music the best
No cypher? 😂
Are you guys hip to the ......... are you "guys" hip to ......? Are you hip hoppers into chicken?........cmon son
Backstreet boys
He has a racist song called SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE!
Go get your facts check. It's about a Sargent named D. It's a character that hates everyone and everything. Don't be confused with songwriting and living your life. Scott is not racist, or the band SOD
Heavy metal started in Detroit, but he's white and corrupted. I'll let him live.
Depends on what you would consider Heavy Metal. You could also argue Punk started in Detroit.
death did not play heavy metal, i mean, "death" from detroit
Punk started in Detroit. The Stooges, MC5, and Death.
madmann1000 that is beyond ignorant (laughing)
Wrong, but nice try
That rap crap kills real music
metal comes from Iron Maiden
Ironjagg If only Judas Priest didn't exist.
Ironjagg uhhh I’m pretty sure blue cheer was playing metal first
WRONG! Maiden would even say Sabbath influenced them! Get a clue and go to metal University! 🤘
I love maiden. They are considered NWBM.
@@jerseysucks6158 real metal comes from maiden
Origin of rock? Jesus, let's make everything about race
Anthrax is trash.
