Ok, so Scot Ian is back(right?)

[MetalHeadMat]

ONLY the rhythm guitarist?!? WTF kind of bullshit is that? You don't think he deserves signature gear because he's not a lead player?

I'm speechless at the stupidity of your post.

Rhythm guitarists can get signature guitars, I just personally think he gets too many signature things (guitars, pickups, I think he has an amp?).

Rhythm players aren't going to sell the most gear are they.

Scott Ian I guess is the most well known person in the band.

I think James Hetfield may have shifted a couple of Esp's in his time

More than Kirk? Probably not which proves my point. Metallica is also a much much bigger name.

Wait a minute...a five string guitar?..this seriously went to market?

It was a guitar that was designed to have 5 strings and was tuned in 5ths instead of 4th like a normal 6 stringer is. They were also tunes lower if I remember correctly.

Both guitar player have singature guitars in bullet for my valentine. Where's the sign. guitar for the lead in anthrax?
Are the matt tuck's selling to fanboys or for one I would buy one because they are different then the neckthrus that we have had forever from Jackson. Scott Ian's are have been ugly and were only for a small market. Are not the old Ian signature guitars pretty rare to find, which says to me that they didn't sell that well.
I have never seen Anthrax as a major headliner. I say them in the 80's as an opener for ozzy then I saw them in the 90's as a headliner at the vic which only holds 1300 and the place was half empty.
Singers are usually the most popular band member. Hmm.... I wonder why James Hetfield(esp gives a sign. guitar to all guitar players in a band if they can) and Matt Tuck have signature guitars.
I can't think of any bands that the lead player doesn't have a signature guitar along with the rhythm player(and who are not the lead singer).

Ya but they can connect with scene kids who like BFMV and want a Jackson. To be honest if it had a Floyd and a better pickup I'd definately pick one of them up.

My first concert in 1987 was Anthrax on the Among The Living tour. Celtic Frost and Exodus opened (Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ).
I also saw them headline the first MTV Headbanger's Ball tour in 1989... Helloween and Exodus opened (Felt Forum @ Madison Square Garden in NYC).
Scott Ian, IMO, has a better right hand and can outplay James Hetfield.

Scott Ian may well be able to outplay Hetfield, but only me, you and two other people in the world give a shit about Anthrax.

Nah..without turning this into a fanboy thing..I disagree, Het has to play rhythm and sing..I've felt that he is a criminally under rated guitar player and you can't take away that he's singing Puppets and playing all downstrokes and has to keep it tight with one of the worst time keepers in metal behind him..at least Scott has Charlie!

Nah hetfields criminally overrated

[Flatpicker]

If it's not a JJ then I don't think I care about Scott coming back.

I don't think I'd say that, as much as Ian is underrated. I'll put Eric Peterson in the underrated category, too.

Yeah people dont realise that eric can play leads as well
