WTF was that!

WTF was that?

Painful.

ICBM

Laboured and painful.

But still a lot better than the Scissor Sisters.

I got to " are you feeling....down"
Twas more than enough.

I won't look - I've yet to get over Petrucci crucifying Shine On.

Pity the lead guitar got a bit lost in the mix.  The vocalist and singing in tune - kinda hope both function together but not very much here.  Still I have heard worse.....

I'm a huge Anthrax fan and I was especially glad Joey came back to the band in 2010, but that was embarrassingly shit.

Here they are in their prime:

All the rhythm playing was OK, I didn't like the way it was sung and the lead parts were not fitting to an Acoustic Guitar version, it just doesn't work the same, not in that instance anyway. Apart from that it was OK.

I don't think Joey "acted" the lyrics very well and the lead guitar just sounded too thin.  It really needed some decent backing vocals.  It wasn't unbearable though.

Majorscale

That was truly awful... it wasn't just murdered, it was hung, drawn and quartered....

Fretwired

That was toxic .. ;-)

Bidley

It was alright.

RobDavies

Absolute dogshit.

Sounds like they borrowed Metallica's road crew to tune those guitars.

Go and speak to Voivod about covering Floyd.....

I'm guessing the main 4 note riff contained some kind of arpeggiated sweeping lick?

Better than the original though.

Wasn't sure whether to give wisdom or laugh. Both apply.

Almost as good as this:
