Scott Ian played in a Kiss tribute band from VH1 alongside Ace Frehley, Rob Zombie, Slash, Tommy Lee and Gilby Clark |
|
During the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, rumors of the band changing their name started to surface. However, at the New York Steel 9/11 benefit concert in November 2001, the musicians appeared onstage wearing white boiler suits, each member having one word written on them..."WE'RE NOT CHANGING OUR NAME." |
|
Guitarist Scott Ian's wife, Pearl Aday, is the daughter of singer/actor Meat Loaf. |
|
In 1992, Anthrax were guests in season 6, episode 18 of the sitcom "Married... With Children". They lip-synched to "In My World" from 'Persistence of Time'. |
|
Anthrax starred in a February 1992 episode of "Married... with Children" entitled "My Dinner With Anthrax". |
|
Guitarist Dan Spitz left Anthrax in 1995 to become a Swiss-trained Master Watchmaker (see http://www.spitzwatch.com/bio/). |
|
It is well known that the band has a fascination for sport clothing, particularly bermudas. Scott Ian got married with a t-shirt, bermudas and trainers in a religious wedding (at least there was a priest officiant). |
|
Singer Joey Belladonna has Indian roots. The song "Indians" from Among the Living is a great hymn talking about the abuses committed against his race by white people. |
|
Scott Ian has studied medicine. The name of the band (a type of disease that affects cows and sheep and is transmissable to humans) comes from his knowledge of medicine. |
