"Who Cares Wins" is written about homeless people and how other people just turn a deaf ear and a cold shoulder to the homeless and act like they're not there when they pass by them.

"Attack of the Killer B's" was released in 1991. It had the hit song "Bring the Noise" on it with Public Enemy, and the original Headbangers Ball theme song, "Chromatic Death".
12. What song did Anthrax do with Public Enemy?

Answer: Bring the Noise

"Bring the Noise" was originally recorded by Public Enemy on one of their earlier albums. It has a lyric in it pertaining to Anthrax, ("Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells ever forever"). Anthrax liked that so they contacted Public Enemy and got together with them and remade the song with a little more hardness to it.

It was released on the album "Attack of the Killer B's". They also made a video for this song.
13. What was the band that Charlie Benante, Scott Ian, Billy Milano, and Dan Lilker started?

Answer: S.O.D

Not Milk, but that is one of the songs that "S.O.D" did. Charlie, Scott, Dan, and Billy started "Stormtroopers of Death", and released the album, "Speak English or Die". This is a very hardcore album! If memory serves correct, S.O.D. was actually formed as a joke.

While Anthrax was on a sort of hiatus status, Charlie and some other fellow musician friends went into the studio and layed some tracks down.
14. What was the first raplike song Anthrax did?

Answer: I'm the Man

"I'm the Man" was the first rap Anthrax did. It was released on an E.P. they put out early on in their career and it did very well. The guys remade this song in 1991 and renamed it "I'm the Man '91". The remix was recorded on "Attack of the Killer B's" and it has more of a preprogrammed sound than the original did.
15. Who replaced the original lead singer of Anthrax?

Answer: Joey Belladonna

After Neil Turnin left the group, he was replaced by Joey Belladonna.

Answer: Sound of White Noise

"Sound of White Noise" was released in 1993. Critics gave it fairly good reveiws. I was impressed with it; John has a good voice and it matches well with the music of Anthrax.
17. After 1992, what record label was Anthrax on?

Answer: Elektra

Along with a new lead singer, Anthrax switched record labels, and it wouldn't be their last time to do this, either.
18. What does the Anthrax song "Black Lodge" discuss?

Answer: Drug overdose

"Black Lodge", off the album "Sound of White Noise", deals with drug abuse/overdose. The lyrics in this song are very deep and moving. It is one of my favorite songs by the band. Even the music has a eerie sound to it that is very addictive.
19. Who was the guitarist that left Anthrax in the mid-1990's?

Answer: Dan Spitz

I do not know the exact reason why Dan left the band, but I believe I read something about him wanting to spend more time with his family. Dan left Anthrax sometime in the mid-1990's. To me, Dan was the quiet family type, which supports what I read.
20. What is the name of the album put out by Anthrax in 1998?

Answer: Volume 8 - The Threat is Real

"Volume 8 - The Threat is Real" was released in 1998 and had some really good songs on it. If memory serves correct, this is the first album without guitarist Dan Spitz on it. "Inside Out" is a video they made from this album- very good song.
21. What record label was Anthrax on in 1998?

Answer: Ignition

Anthrax made a third record label change in 1998 to Ignition Records. "The Threat is Real" was released on that label. Before that album, I had never heard of Ignition Records, but the album does rock...of course, it's Anthrax.

Answer: American Indian

Joey is an American Indian. Anthrax even wrote a song about the pride Joey has and how they feel Indians have been mistreated for way too long. The song is called "Indians", and is off the album "Among the Living". Great song, very deep lyrics.
25. What instrument does Frank Bello of Anthrax play?

Answer: Bass

Frank Bello plays bass guitar. He is an excellent bass player! He also has a very good voice. He sings a song on the album "The Threat is Real". It's a hidden track at the end of the album. It's about 3 minutes after the last song, "Stealing From a Thief", goes off. I believe Charlie (drummer) plays acoustic guitar on it too. Check it out if you can.
