ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian is featured in a new interview with UK-based KomodoRock.com. An excerpt is available below.
Q: Dan (Nelson)compared to Joey (Belladonna) compared to John (Bush), fundamentally, how different are they as front men?
Scott: "Dan is the guy, it sounds weird saying this but he is younger than us, a good 12 years or something younger than us so that is a big difference because he is right at the beginning of it. I remember where we were when we were 32 years old, so that makes such a huge difference to have this guy that just has that age factor on his side. I remember where Joey and John were at that point in their lives as singers and its amazing to have this guy that is just right there in his prime and ready to do this and also having his first real opportunity and its in Anthrax, one of his favourite bands growing up. We really did find that guy – you always hear the story of … it's so cliché, there is someone sitting in their house right now, some kid playing guitar or some kid singing who is going to be the next so-and-so and we have one of those guys, we found that kid to be in Anthrax and his energy is just amazing. His instrument, having worked with Joey and John, his instrument is just a better instrument than anyone I have ever worked with as far as what he can do with his voice and its power. It's pretty amazing."
