Anthrax in Houston By Newsferatu, Writer Monday, July 10, 2006 @ 9:15 AM
I finally got to see the classic line up of Anthrax perform, and it was awesome. There were a lot of older types, like me, who were teenagers in the band's heyday, teens, and even some kids.
(Joey) Belladonna hit every note, and got involved quite a bit with the audience. He was having a great time. Dan Spitz, an underrated guitar god in my opinion, nailed every solo.
I have to say the rhythm section utterly dominated in their own right. Charlie B. (Benante), drum wizard and wildly animated bass master Frank Bello held it together and of course, on rhythm guitar was Scott Ian, who let us all know what it is to thrash.
And the audience knew every word to every song, when they were not moshing the hell out of each other.
The set list was a special bonus as they did almost all of Among the Living.
Here it is:
The opening act, Neverset, hails from Dallas and managed to win a lot of the crowd over by the time they were done. They had that whole two vocalist Emo screaming and chunky riff thing that is very popular nowadays. Their drummer knew his shit behind the kit, though. The bassist kept yanking his cord out and would periodically go back to plug it in.
All in all, they were good, although I must say they reminded me of the Metal by Numbers video.
