Anthrax Discuss the Creation of the Big Four in New Retrospective Video

Anthrax have released the eighth video of their massive  Anthrax 40 for 40 video series, which celebrates the band’s 40th anniversary by taking a look at each individual ‘Thrax album over the course of the coming weeks. That will all lead up to a special career-spanning livestream performance on July 18 (the band’s actual 40th anniversary).

The latest clip looks back at 1986/87ish — the magical time when Metallica released Master of Puppets, Megadeth released Peace Sells, and Slayer released Reign in Blood, and Anthrax released Among the Living all within a year. Naturally, this leads to a discussion of the early days of the Big Four, and naturally, that leads to some really fun stories (fun fact: Frank Bello can’t hold his liquor).

You can watch the episode below. In addition to the members of Anthrax, it includes interviews with Slayer’s Kerry King and Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine.
