Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and guitarist Rob Caggiano are featured in a new ESP Guitar video spotlight. The intro to the feature is available below:

"There's no denying that Anthrax is one of the most influential metal bands in history. With the addition of Rob Caggiano and Frank Bello to the our family of artists, we're proud to have two essential members of Anthrax playing ESP.

Frank Bello had a couple of strong connections to Anthrax even before becoming their bass player in 1984. First, he'd already been working with the band since day one as a roadie and guitar tech. Second, he's the nephew of drummer Charlie Benante. But Frank's contributions to the band, beginning with the seminal 1985 album Spreading the Disease and continuing almost uninterrupted through the present, makes him part of what's considered the 'classic' Anthrax lineup.

Frank has lent his talents to every Anthrax album from 1985 through the most recent release, 2010's Worship Music. His brief departure from Anthrax in 2004 saw him joining fellow ESP player Page Hamilton to tour with the band Helmet. However, Frank was quickly back in Anthrax, and has remained in the band ever since.

Rob Caggiano joined Anthrax quite a bit later than Frank. His first stint with the band began in 2001, and after a brief departure in 2005, rejoined the band in 2007 through the present. Rob handled lead guitar duties on Anthrax' famous Big 4 tour, playing on stages alongside bands including METALLICA, SLAYER, and MEGADETH. Additionally, Rob is a well-known producer/mixer who has worked in this capacity with Anthrax as well as CRADLE OF FILTH and others. In addition to his main gig, Rob plays with his Anthrax bandmate Scott Ian in his side project, THE DAMNED THINGS."
