They're boring.

I've seen Anthrax several times and for me its time for them to play newer material. I think the new album is their best since ATL and I look forward to hearing at least 3 songs from that album at Mayhem Fest (preferably Devil That You Know, I'm Alive & In The End... although Judas Priest would be cool too). Antisocial & Got The Time are boring to me at this point. While Anthrax did make them more popular, unlike Metallica, they have those 2 cover songs in the set night after night for the past 2 decades, or so it seems. I guess if I was a casual Anthrax fan & hadn't seen them that much I would want those songs left in the set too.

All manner of Metal Blade-branded stuff, shirts and the like, mostly clothing, as well as a few of the 'evergreen' Metal Blade releases, so likely some GWAR, Cannibal Corpse, early Slayer, etc. albums. It won't be a full-on CD store like some labels have done on previous fests, since most people coming to shows like that aren't there to record shop.

Also, Metal Blade has the biggest bags, so even if people aren't buying our shit, I can say, "Hey, want a bag?" and they're walking around for the rest of the day with a big bag that says METAL BLADE on it.

I'm going to try to come up with some silly gimmicks, like the first person to come to the booth and do their best "Angel of Death" scream in each city gets a shirt for 50% off or something, I'll have to get approval first, though.

"Name a band on the first Metal Massacre compilation that isn't Metallica!"

Caught In A Mosh
Earth On Hell
Fight Em Till You Can't
Indians
Madhouse
Among The Living
Metal Thrashing Mad

Those are the ones for sure.

I hope its more like:

Caught In A Mosh
Fight Em Till You Can't
Madhouse
Indians
I'm Alive
Be All, End All or Antisocial
In The End
I Am The Law

That set list clocks in near 45 minutes...

Among the Living better be in their set list.

I agree... in place of Indians if I had a choice.

I think AtL, Skeletons in the Closet, I'm Alive, In the End, Finale, In My World & Belly of the Beast should be permanent staples in the Anthrax setlist

I love Indians, but definitely. I also would love to hear Judas Priest. That's gotta be my favorite song on Worship Music.

N.F.L needs to be in the set.

Y'all are crazy. It is not, repeat, NOT an Anthrax show without the muthafuckin' WARDANCE.

I usually bring a backpack to carry shit


How about a trivia question like "what platinum selling pop band was once signed to Metal Blade?"
