The Resume

Why they might be annoying:

    Since September 11, most people associate the word 'anthrax' with death and terrorism. In late 2001 the band thought of changing its name.
    The band lives in the shadows of heavy metal giants Metallica and Megadeth.
    Singer Joey Belladonna was kicked out of the band in 1992 and replaced him with ex-Armored Saint vocalist John Bush. This event shrunk the band's fan base.
    They appeared on a Twisted Sister tribute album entitled 'Twisted Forever' in 2001.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Although they seriously considered changing the band name, they decided not to.
    Unlike Metallica and Megadeth, they have a good sense to temper their often serious music with a healthy dose of humor and realism.
    Scott Ian regularly hosts 'The Rock Show,' the only hard rock television show on VH1.
    They helped the emergence of 'speed' and 'thrash metal' which combines the speed and fury of hardcore punk with the prominent guitars and vocals of heavy metal.
    They were the FIRST hard rock band to ever record with a rap group. 'Bring The Noise' was recorded with Public Enemy (1991).
