	Anthrax opened for Priest a few years ago...Ripper was in Priest at that time and Bush was fronting Anthrax...now its Halford in Priest and Belladonna with Anthrax...revolving singers.

	Dart.. sorry Man, according to Dio's website he's in England for October of 2005. Wow.. could it be true? Anthrax in Edmonton in twice in less than two months? We'll just have to wait and see!

	COMMENT \| PA show as well. posted by : Billy_milano_sucks_cock 8/10/2005 12:28:34 AM

	Sept 24th in Burgettstown PA. Anthrax opening for Priest. What to know whats funny about them opening up for Priest.... * All exclusive Anthrax shit (bootlegs, demos, commercial tracks, videos, Scott's Alphamail, Charlie's Blast Beat, pre-orders, contests, exclusive merch, news before anyone else including Blabbermouth, and shit you've never seen!) Well looks like ol Blabbermouth beat Anthrax to the punch again. Hope those suckers that paid $$$$ to get "info" before anyone else are getting their moneys worth.

	COMMENT \| I wonder posted by : mustardgas 8/10/2005 1:51:38 AM

	I certainly hope the reunion line up are on it if they do play anyway. Funny I always hoped they would get Spitz and Belladonna back, but for some strange damn reason I've been getting into the John Bush years lately.

	holy shit, i hope this is true, the thrax opening for priest would be killer! its hitting here on oct 18th, so i hope this is true! fuck yea!

	COMMENT \| GREAT COMBINATION posted by : Sadochist.com 8/10/2005 9:50:04 AM

	Much better choice than Queensryche. I like both old & new Anthrax & I think WCFYA is a totally kick ass album. I also think AOR is killer with tracks like Demonizer, Judas Rising, Wheels of Fire, Deal w/the Devil, etc. It could only get better if Testament got on board!

	COMMENT \| posted by : mydyingbride2003 8/10/2005 10:17:23 AM

	I thought Queensryche were opening for Priest.
