Anthrax -- Anaheim, CA -- January 23rd, 2012

Not trying to be a buzzkill but the odds of them not playing Madhouse are very, very slim. Maybe he confused Medusa or something.

If they did mix it up to this setlist I'd be JAKKED!

I believe we've had this argument before but Discharge has never been played live, so you need to let go of the dream you have of them playing it.

Belly has a chance of coming back but you're kidding with the other two, right? What have they played in recent tours that would lead you to believe that Now It's Dark or Aftershock will get dusted off?

It's nice to dream but let's be real with the songs we would like to see.

Why should we? While it may seem unlikely, I've learned never to say never.

Go see DeathRiders.

True, but this is Anthrax we're talking about here. They said "never" a long time ago when it comes to playing a variety of old stuff. For as great of a show as they put on, they really don't give a shit what the fans wanna hear and I honestly believe that with every fiber of my being.

If they did care they would have AIR in the set all the time. They would also give into the overwhelming fan demand and play something else off of POT instead of Got The Time but they don't. That's why the core classics they play hasn't changed much over the last few years. They're just looking for a cash in with the Joey reunion and really don't care what the fans wanna hear.

I hate to say this about one of my favorite bands ever but i've seen nothing that leads me to believe otherwise.

When Joey said, "This one is called Medusa", I took him on his word.

Funny thing is, Madhouse was on the set list for the night.

I ended up getting to the house of blues around 9. Turns out the show was sold out. Then me and my friends spent the majority of our time there searching for random fools in hoodies that might be selling tickets. Hey it's happen to me before, mostly rap shows though ahahha. Anyways, we found no luck and by 9:40ish we bailed out of the House of blues and just went to one of our friends band practice and just kicked it over there. Glad those who went had a great time. I for one am very bummed i missed out on this show. Anthrax doin a SOLO show always sounds like smashing good times. And them headlining must have been special considering that they never really go on their own tours anymore. Should have bought a ticket a head of times, didn't think it was going to sell out. Shows what i know, More power to all those that had a great time in Anahiem. Wish i was there

Your main problem was you waited until 9 when the show was going on to try and get tickets. If you had got there earlier before the doors opened you probably would've had better luck when it comes to getting tickets from scalpers or people in line who had extra tickets to unload.

The show was sold out at least a week in advance, I'm guessing people who attended the first leg in LA were impressed enough to go the second leg in Anaheim and bring their friends while they were at it.
