I am a 57-year-old metal-head kid from Queens – Scott Ian
Scott Ian, guitarist of Anthrax commented on their 40th anniversary by saying this:
“I was a 17-year-old metal-head kid from Queens when I started this band. I am a 57-year-old metal-head kid from Queens about to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this band. That means for 40 years, I’ve gotten to do exactly what I’ve wanted to do — and getting to do what I love and being a part of something so much bigger than myself has made the time, the unbelievable weight of 40 seems so light.”
Throughout their career, Anthrax released 11 studio albums, 4 EPs, and 26 Singles. Their last studio album For All Kings released in 2016 and in 2018 they’ve released a live album called Kings Among Scotland. They’ve seen some band members change in the way but the co-founder Scott Ian is still in the band since the year 1981 when they’ve found the band.
