[DID NOT ATTEND: August 28, 2022] Anthrax / Black Label Society / Hatebreed
Anthrax is the only band of the classic heavy metal landscape that I’ve never seen (who I want to see, anyhow). They’re back to almost their original lineup (okay, not original, but “classic” lineup).
This is the third or fourth time they’ve come around recently, but they’re never with anyone else that I want to see.
I don’t really care about Black Label Society, the band created by Zakk Wylde. I’ve never cared about him and his silly name (although I didn’t realize he was from Bayonne, so that’s kind of cool). I now he played with Ozzy, but that was long after I cared about Ozzy too, so whatever. When this tour was announced, I listened to couple of songs and thought they were okay. Their presence on the bill definitely impacted my decision not to go. If it had been a band I liked more, I might have stuck it out.
Hatebreed is a metal band formed in 1994 who I have never really listened to. So this bill went a long way to me not wanting to go see this tour.
I guess I’ll probably never see Anthrax, and that’s okay. I haven’t listened to anything they’ve released in twenty years anyhow, so I really should have seen them in the 1990s.
