I miss old Anthrax.
\the band

Scott Ian's career does not need reviving, thankyouverymuch.

submitter: High school science student removes protective slide cover to 25 year old dead anthrax

What was the dipstick gonna do, administer CPR to it??

i always thought it funny that you could play music like that on a guitar like this:

I love how parents get upset when they don't call 2,000 sets of parents within the first half hour...

It's a lockdown, you CAN'T get your child out...

SockMonkeyHolocaust: C'mon, he actually did an S.O.D. reunion tour and he admitted on Metal Sludge that his largest check was from a video for that tour.

What's the problem with SOD? You say that like it's a bad thing.

Now if you want an awesome metal guitarist, you have to admit that Kerry King is, well, king.

Yea, but that doesn't mean that Ian isnt' the shiat. You have no appreciation for 80's metal, sir.

At least the school already had a tombstone ready.

SockMonkeyHolocaust: And if you want a lead singer who knows his way around a science lab, then you want Milo Aukerman.


Uh..Greg Gaffin? PhD?

SockMonkeyHolocaust: I said a science lab, not eighteen part melodies concerning how the masses of indifference would overthrow the bourgeoise, ya hay!

Graffin double majored in anthropology and geology as an undergraduate at UCLA. He then went on to earn a masters degree in geology from the University of California, Los Angeles and received his Ph.D. in evolutionary paleontology from Cornell University.

Gaffin would have sent in monkeys to survey the damage and clean it up.

Then he would have written a song about it, rhyming anthrax with terrorist attack and blaming the whole thing on Bush.

Milo would have been busy trying to be obtuse.

IT'S AN EPIDEMIC !!!!

CAUGHT IN A MOSH!

Does anyone know if there are any stories about dead anthrax and highschool students floating around? I cant seem to find one.

Has there ever been a triple post to the main board?

Because what I want to happen to me or my child is for them to be locked in a highschool unable to get outside when dead anthrax is released.

Good thing it wasn't live. Central air could have farked up a bunch of kids.

This was interesting the first time I heard it on FARK.com.

Two links down.

Ten seconds ago. I think the dumbass tag is much more apropo.

i am upset...boohooo..i am upset...

It's like deja vu all over again!

/Who's flying this plane anyway?

It happens when they change something

All hail our redundant overlords who should be hailed.

all4not: so, it was the third time?

rofl - i just pointed out the repeat in the other
thread

Hey - someone screwed up and let another topic get greenlit in between this one and the last time it was posted....

bulb007: Cheer up.

post trifecta?


nice pic low_dazzle. i recently saw scott ian hanging out with al jourgensen back stage at alice cooper's show in LA

Bring the spores!!

/nada

Is a trifecta in play on this story then?

So did he break the slide or remove the cover? lol DRTFA

serutan: Is a trifecta in play on this story then?

I've been wondering that myself. Is this a repeat or a possible trifecta?

Is this the fastest repeat ever?

In other news, I am proud to say I did not submit this with a better headline.

Why lock them down? Anthrax won't spread.

Anthrax? NOT!

i didn't see anyone come out and say this but this story was already posted... different news source, but the same story.

Technically, the removed article was a prepeat aka sneaky pete.

ahhhh i posted too soon... first entry has been deleted.... i'm a dork

Oh, crap, they took off the other thread, which contained the best posts I have ever put up on fark. Dagnab it.

I said I hoped the little terrorist would be flown to Guantanamo and "debriefed," and added that I was only keeding. Now I am not so sure.

And I wasn't even the first.

http://www.thewmurchannel.com/news/5384490/detail.html was one of the other links to this story that was (temporarily) greenlit.

I think they should have kept that one and removed this one. The kid that took the slide apart then rubbed the slide on other students.

Aggravated stupidity like that can only be cured by repeated application of a baseball bat.

The idiot "zero tolerance" guys that keep tossing kids out over nonsense will probably say "Well, we don't have a rule against rubbing anthrax on people" and let it go.

Hey guys, if you go to the other discussion link about this same story on the front page you'll find the greatest discussion Fark has ever known.

...oops, looks like it's gone now. Too bad!

Hey now...

Anthrax is one of the best bands out there, and has been since 1985, when the release of "Spreading The Disease" gave them MTV rotation and world-wide exposure. On 1987's I'm The Man EP and Among The Living, they managed to combine fun, humor-based lyrics with dark references to then much unknown "Judge Dredd" comics, as well as Stephen King's classics "The Stand" and "Apt Pupil". In 1988 the Stephen King theme continued, as the song 'Misery Loves Company' is based on the author's novel, Misery. By 1990, though, the band had lost its sense of humor (last seen on the artwork on 'State', which was done by a Mad Magazine artist. 'Persistence of Time' shows a band trying to sound more mature, and succeeds in doing so, by offering songs such as "Time", "Blood", "Belly Of The Beast" and a cover of Joe Jackson's "Got The Time". One year later, we, as fans, receive "The longest E.P. ever" in the form of 'Attack of the killer B's', a composition of both B-sides and covers, including what became, although a few years after I'm The Man and Aerosmith/Run DMC's "Walk This Way", the beginning of the heavy metal/rap crossover which became popular by 1996, in the form of Public Enemy's 'Bring The Noise', which featured Public Enemy's own Chuck D and Flavor Flav.
That, as luck would have it, would be Joey Belladonna's last album with Anthrax. By 1993, the band had recorded 'Sound Of White Noise', probably the band's best album to date, with John Bush on voals. Bush was the vocalist of Armored Saint. At about the same time, Dan Spitz, who had been in charge of lead guitars since the old days, found a combination of clocks and the Lord as his new calling, and abandoned the band. By this time, Anthrax had recorded "Stomp 442", my personal favorite, with Dimebag Darrell from Pantera filling in on guitar work. By the time I got to see them, in Monterrey, Mexico, opening for Pantera, they had recruited Paul Crook, who by the way refused to give me an autograph after giving one to all my friends. A few years after that, I discovered there was a new Anthrax album, called "Vol. 8 - The Threat Is Real", which I purchased immediately and found to be great, although not quite as good as "Stomp" or "Sound".
By this time, I was fully enamored with this internet thingie, and was able to "obtain" some tracks I wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. Lars Ulrich be damned, I spent by best years on the web in 1999 and 2000.
Then, in early 2002, I was blessed with the opportunity to see Anthrax open up for Judas Priest (still with Ripper) in McAllen, TX. A short while after, "We've Come For You All" was released in what I call "I could've Photoshopped a better cover, but hey, the music's great and that's what matters, eh?", and after that, things got a little bit hazy. Belladonna's coming back. No, he's not. Oh, yes he is. And Spitz is coming back. And they're touring together. What will become of John Bush and Rob Caggiano? And hadn't Frank Bello already joined Flotsam & Jetsam, or some other 80's thrash band? WTF is goin' on?
Oh, I forgot to mention, wnen the Anthrax scare was going on in 2001, Scott Ian joked that the band was changing their name to BASKET FULL OF PUPPIES. I was going to write that on a t-shirt when I went to see them in 2002, but I didn't know I'd end up way up front. fark, my ribs still hurt from being pressed against the railing.
