You`ve more or less summed up one of the main problems with Anthrax and that was vocalist Joey Belladonna and sure he had a great voice, but he was much better suited to a hair metal or even an AOR act, what Anthrax needed was a thrash/extreme metal vocalist and Billy Milano fitted that bill. Had Billy Milano been in Anthrax, then they would probably be getting a lot more than the 7 votes they have on here at the moment.

The bassist by the way was Frank Bello, who hardly ever gets mentioned...... sums it up well really.
