ANTHRAX Guitarist Performs JUDAS PRIEST Cover With METAL SKOOL: Video Available
- June 29, 2006
ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian performed a cover of JUDAS PRIEST's "You Got Another Thing Coming" with the '80s metal/hard rock tribute band METAL SKOOL at comedian/actor Brian Posehn's 40th birthday party on Tuesday (June 27) in Los Angeles, California. Watch a video clip of the performance at YouTube.com.
Brian Posehn's new album, "Live In: Nerd Rage", is due on July 11 via Relapse Records. The CD features guest appearances by Ian, bassist Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING), drummer John Tempesta (WHITE ZOMBIE, THE CULT, TESTAMENT) and lead guitarist Jonathan Donais (SHADOWS FALL), among others. The album contains two musical cuts; one by Brian's heavy metal band POSEHN and another by TITANNICA. POSEHN's lineup includes Ian, Vera, Tempesta, Donais and Russ Parrish (METAL SKOOL, ex-FIGHT), with Brian himself on vocals. POSEHN offers up an original track, "Metal By Numbers", while TITANNICA (the metal band from the beloved "Mr. Show" sketch) delivers their epic song "Try Again, Again".

Charlie: OMG! OMG! THIS IS LIKE SO COOL! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH, MR. HALFORD!
Scott(slaps Charlie upside the head): Calm down, Charlie Brown. We're not here to make fools of ourselves like the last time you were allowed to talk publicly.
Halford: That's okay, I get gushing fanboys like this all the time, Scotty. I prefer to think of them as groupies, but that's alright.
Charlie: Sorry, Mr. Halford. It's like, totally exciting to be standing in front of a living legend. Can I have your autograph, please?
Halford(winks): Sure thing. It's not the only thing I'll give you either.
Charlie: *squeals with fangirlish delight*
Scott: Anyways, Mr. Halford. I, on behalf of Anthrax, was wondering if we could pay tribute to one of your songs, say... You've Got Another Thing Coming?
Halford: Sure, fellas. Anything to help out a younger band.
Scott: On the contrary, Mr. Halford, we've been around for over 23 years. Therefore, it is hardly appropriate for you to refer to us as a 'younger band.'
Halford: Um, sure.
Charlie: Yeah! What Scott said! Besides, how is it that whenever you come to the States, you make millions while our albums gather dust on the used CDs rack?
Halford: Well, uh, I suppose I have been around longer...?
Scott: Apology not accepted, Mr. Halford. What you have said ranks up there with the other Rob's comments on how our reunion was a farce. Your comments were in appropriate as they were not based on reality.
Halford(exasperated): Calm down guys. We're all friends here.
Charlie(jumping up and down in rage): HOW COME YOUR REUNION WAS A SUCCESS WHILE WE BOMBED?!? BELLADONNA CAN HIT HIGHER NOTES THAN YOU!
Halford: Well, that's life, I suppose.
Scott: Again, you patronize us, Mr. Halford. Anthrax has been a dedicated and hardworking band ever since 1983. Sure we may have made more than a few career suicide decisions, but it's the intent that counts.
Halford: Looks guys. You really need to chill out. All I said was that I'd be willing to help out a younger band. Compared to Judas Priest, you guys are younger.
Charlie: NO! YOU LIMEYS ARE A BUNCH OF MORONS FOR NOT BUYING OUR ALBUMS!
Scott: Mr. Halford, I star on VH1 all the time. What do you do, huh? Huh?
*Rob Halford shakes his head*
Charlie: I'M GONNA TELL ON YOU! TEACHER! ROBBY KISSED ME AND GAVE ME MAN COOTIES!
Scott: Mr. Halford, you'll be hearing from my lawyer on behalf of VH1. Your temperment towards us was most inappropriate and uncalled for. I suggest in the future that you endeavor to share with us 25% off the profits of your album sales. Again, I'd like to remind you that the legal ramifications of blah blah blah..... blah
Halford: Christ, I'm out of here. Now that I think of it, hanging out with groupies is much better than this crap.
Charlie: I'M GUNNA TELL ON YOU, ROBBY! U R A BAD MAN WHO TOUCHED MY NO-NO ZONE!
Scott: And furthermore on my 'watch,' you'll allow us to be your opening acts at each and every show according to legal counsel and your property expenses shall tie in with Anthrax's album sales...
Charlie: SCOTTY! ROBBY TOUCHED ME BAD PLACE! ME WANT TO PUT HIM IN TIME OUT!
Scott: Shut up, Charlie. From now on, you leave the public interviews to me, bitch.

Not a bad cover, in all honestly. Although their lead guitarist apparently picked up his guitar at a Stryper yard sale.
DAMNOCRACY! Ha! I've been catchin' some of the "SUPERGROUP'S" episodes, on VH1, & those guys are a riot! Last night's episode aired Evan, from BIOHAZARD, fartin' (Blushes). I couldn't stop laughin' at Mr. Eddie Trunk & Scott Ian. They made the worst ruckus 'bout it. Hee-hee! They oughta add some of those fx to the mix. Oh, also, I reckon' popular, famous, established musicians should/could delve into re-recording some of the new stuff that is out there, instead of the "older" stuff. Let's say like stuff from Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, & other groups that suck like that! This way, groups like Saxon, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith can/may sway the non-listener's attention/focus toward the so-called new styles of "ROCK" & "HEAVY-METAL". It's just a thought, imho. Ciao!

Sounds good to me as well, BUT, not a Stryper guitar at all. It's a knockoff of one of George Lynch's axes. I bet the guy made it himself with the instructions from PaintYourOwnGuitar.com.

DNA testing has recently proved that I am indeed your father. Are you honestly going to treat your old man like that, son?
You should consider seeing your high school's psychologist. I'm sure he deals with overwrought goth kids like yourself who threaten to commit suicide daily for attention.
