ANTHRAX
Sonisphere Festival
Snowhall Parc - Amneville, France
July 9 2011

The Big Four started with Anthrax an that was enough to get everyone at the Sonisphere in a state of euphoria!

Anthrax started with their classic Caught In A Mosh.
Their energy is contagious!

Joey Belladonna sang very well today, reaching high notes with great feeling.
He showed how happy he was about performing again with Anthrax by making the audience sing and scream.

He shouted that the Big Four was here for us, and he got down to the photographers pit to clap the hands of some lucky folks from the first row.

Charlie Benante hit the drums fast, but it was bass player Frank Bello who showed the most his enthusiasm.
He didn’t stop headbanging, while running around the stage and coming back quickly in front of his microphone to sing his vocal lines.
He showed his talent as a musician and as a stage performer.

Guitar player Rob Caggiano gave us some cutting-edge rhythm and lead guitar parts, while pulling faces during his solos.

An essential piece of Anthrax was missing today: Scott Ian didn’t perform on this tour, as he was with his wife attending the birth of their first child.

We all knew that this was a temporary replacement, Scott is now back in Anthrax while Andreas keeps performing with Sepultura.
One thing is certain, Andreas enjoyed his time in the band, he even got an Anthrax tattoo in his arm, next to his Sepultura tattoo.

Anthrax setlist included the song Fight'em 'Til You Can't from their forthcoming album Worship Music.
This album has been awaited for such a long time that it was a real pleasure to hear something from it.

They also played Only, and Joey Belladonna did great.

Last time at I saw Anthrax at the Sonisphere Romania they didn’t play any songs from the John Bush era.

The rest of the setlist was made of classic and joyful stuff, with a version of Antisocial shouted by the whole Sonisphere.
This concert was a great start for the Big Four.
I can’t wait for the new album and the following tour to come!

The next band from the Big Four was Slayer, but before that, we had the pleasure to see Volbeat at the Saturn stage.
