Lies the Internet Told About Thrash Metal 

Everyone: Got anything new? Loudwire: No.

In MTV‘s defense, that’s how I discovered Anthrax. Antisocial on the Headbangers Ball!

Ah yes, metal watchmojo

52 y/o metal head. I love how wholesome it has become. We’re all just people man!

“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.

Long live thrash metal!

6 months after picking up your first guitar you join exodus lol that's wild

Gary Holt seems like an awesome guy to sit and talk to…. Id like to have a few beers with him someday

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.

Man I hope I look as good as some of these guys when I become 40-50 years old.

Love the Madhouse video so much!

1:12 kerrys face lol

It’s cool that I saw Exodus with the Skin Lab vocalist filling in on that tour in Vancouver. I’m getting old.

It's crazy how many people think metal people are bad.

Jason is such a nice guy.

If Jesus were a metal fan he would look exactly like Tom Arya 😂😂

Gary Holt is hilarious. "You're not a technician at anything" His complete boredom at the thought of playing Wild Horses was funny too.

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

as a mentally ill person I do in fact love anthrax

I never knew Bobby Blitz's regular talking voice was that squeaky.

that story of Mustaine pouring beer in Rob's guitar is in VH1 Behind the Music: Megadeth... From Rob!

White noise was on MTV ad nauseum.

Fictionpedia

The mustaine story comes from mcgovney himself

I'd probably be freaking out too on whether I have cancer from Chernobyl!!

‘Your good’ is my fave

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.

B. S. I saw Anthrax on MTV all the damn time.

Come on Loudwire it's 2024 we all can handle F bombs, stop Bleeping that shit out.

Araya's fashion is stuck in 2002. 😆

Bring the Noise got quite a bit of air time on MTV, probably more to do with Public Enemy than Anthrax though.

Frankie Bello is such a good dude.

I think Frank is downplaying the exposure of Antisocial and Got the Time on MTV. Headbanger’s Ball played those videos quite often.

Love Tom's t-shirt.

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?

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.

Gary Holt's jacket is fucking cool

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!

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

This reminds me of that Elizabeth Cotten song "Old Woman Keep Tellin' Her Lies on Me"

Hello Loud wire it’s nice to meet you my name is Nick David Hagen

Who are we to get in the way of a good story?

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

The internet does tell anything. PEOPLE write the content - at least in those days - although AI 'writes' some of it now.

Graham is such a mark any time he does these.

Blotzer looks like Chris Pine or the reverse

Thrash to me is a very sexy noise! 🤟😬🤟

Loudwire should start doing stuff with newer bands on the rise......

Interviewer: solo’s meant to mimic the screams of the songs victims Kerry King: not true but hey good idea 😂

Sweet guitar screams

👿🔱😈 awesome dyed beard pops 😂

Friggin Bob Rock

3.6 weeks of bread and water. Not great, not terrible.

😎 get those fingers 👉 working

By internet, you mean Wikipedia. Risking too much?... Just saying.

SLAYER, Anthrax SOD MOD Testament Vio-lence, Exodus 🤘Thrash metal rules 🤘

Imagine if Mtv had been fair to rock and metal. It would have been beautiful.

Well wat happin was.....

Where's Graham? Bring him back!

Newsted is lying. Lars said he never wanted to work with Bob Rock ever again after the Black Album was done.

His leads are archaic? If by archaic, you mean they sound like classic Kerry King, then sure.

I heard this claim on the internet that listening to trash metal makes your beard grow faster. (Applies also to women.)

There would be no sane people if we didn't have heavy metal

What?

ABSOLUFUKINLUTLY THRASH METAL RULES!!!!🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀

How about the biggest lie of all that is said about it and that is it's good

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

Cmon Kerry you know your leads aren’t in key nothing wrong with that it’s metal 😂🤘🏽

German Thrash Metal? South American Thrash Metal? New Wave of Thrash Metal?

Kerry that's how they want out < of the HELL

Bullshit. Anthrax was all over MTV.

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.

In village vhen I vas child but not vith child because I'm he boy .

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.

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.

I miss Graham's awkwardness

Lying is satanic and rad, so what's the problem?

Mustaine wants everyone to know that he Ron are friends.

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.

Recycled content smh

Trash been dead for over 30 years

I dont know Why they didn't go with the name Virgin Core

The mentally ill were not Anthrax fans 🤣🤘

This channel is pure excrement indeed

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. 🤣

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.

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
