Includes a tour of NYC, and takes you into the studio where Anthrax were writing and rehearsing tracks for the upcoming album State Of Euphoria. Quality is a little low at times as this tape was very old, but it is a rare Anthrax classic I thought many would love to see. The quality is good enough for most of it and the audio is solid for all of it. I spent a lot of time making sure the tape played back as well as possible, and getting the audio back in sync.

I love listening to this classic era Anthrax talk about the gear they used. Scott is using a very sweet Marshall Jubilee head... I have the 50 watt version and its killer.

I can't find this on youtube and I love it so I want other Anthrax fans to be able to enjoy it as well. It is nearly complete as the opening segment is unfortunately missing I think. This video contains just the segments Anthrax were in, and all the videos are cut out. Also, I did find 1 small part of this in a little higher quality on youtube from an mtv "flashback" moment, but it is only about a minute and this is almost 10 minutes long.

Enjoy

    Anthrax in the 80s was one fun band that you either hated or loved. Thrash hardcore crossover, comic books, skateboarding, what more can you not love?

    It's bananas how quick Scott's hair started falling out two years later. Probably from all the stress of his second marrige & the band getting screwed over and over

    I miss being a teenager. Staying up on Saturday night watching Headbangers Ball. The good ol' days.

    what a fun lovin' bunch.  They were the laid back comedians of the thrash era.

  • Dan Spitz laughs a lot when joey and frank talks about their equipments

    "Here's a KISS video, it's Heaven's On Foiyah" Their Noo Yawk accents are too adorable.
  • That was Sick! I love the whole New York way about them. I miss Dan Spitz. Get him back!
  • Oh man, this channel was gold back then. After all these years I still can’t believe the way they completely change.

    Those were the days... When Benante looked like Jay Leno and Scott had hair.
