ANTHRAX - Metal Thrashing Mad [Live Bootleg]

[HD1080], Wav files ripped directly from the CD. -------------------------------------- Artist: Anthrax Song: Metal Thrashing Mad Album: Madhouse [Live Bootleg] Track: 02 Country: USA Year: 15 February 1987 Genre: Thrash Metal / Heavy Metal -------------------------------------- Infos: https://www.discogs.com/Anthrax-Madhouse/release/3603616 http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/album-groupe-Anthrax-nom_album-Madhouse_(Bootleg)-l-en.html http://bootleg.heavymetalmaniac.net/anthrax.html -------------------------------------- Only the year is given on the bootleg, not the exact date. Crimson Glory and Metal Church opened at this show. This show is also on the "Axe the Odeon Down" silver-CD (I haven't heard it, but it appears to have a shorter running time and fewer tracks). The show is also on a double-LP called "The Monster Mosh." I haven't heard that either, so I can't say that the content is exactly the same, but there are some major tracklisting discrepencies between it and the "Madhouse" CD. For example, the double-LP lists tracks such as "Indians" and "Living After Midnight," but does not list the Sex Pistols cover. Based on the lack of edits I hear in this boot, I'd say that those extra tracks are probably just listed in error. Also be aware that there is an unrelated bootleg double LP called "Madhouse," which contains different live material from '86-'87 and some Turbin-era demo tracks. There are CD-Rs floating around sourced from the double-LP which are also called "Madhouse"--these should not be confused with the original CD. There's a jump at the end of "The Enemy" to the stage banter introducing "I Am the Law." This appears to be the only editing done. The band does not play/sing the first verse or so of "Armed and Dangerous." Probably the worst sound quality of any of the Anthrax bootlegs here; the sound is a bit distant and muddy. The song selection really makes up for it though, with only one post-"Spreading..." song (and as it's a certain homage to Mr. Judge Dredd, it's the best possible choice they could have made!).
