  Get Ready to ROCK! Interview with Charlie Benante of death metal rock band Anthrax
Despite the fact that he was not willing to talk about SOD and his problems with Record Labels, Charlie Benante was quite talkative when interviewed about his band Anthrax, their latest release “Music of Mass Destruction”, and his appreciation for the masters of Progressive music, Rush.
Anthrax is part of the US Thrash Metal holy trinity, with the other two bands being Metallica and Slayer.
Rush was the band that we had this common denominator — I don’t know what it is. I guess the musicianship and the songs.

  Anthrax (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthrax was one of the most popular bands from the thrash metal scene in the '80s and, possibly, the biggest band to come out of the East Coast thrash scene.
Anthrax was formed in the early 1980s by guitarist Scott Ian, drummer Charlie Benante, bassist Dan Lilker, and vocalist Neil Turbin.
Anthrax signed with a small independent label, and in 1998 managed to release Vol.-8 The Threat Is Real, a punishing album which had the potential to return Anthrax to the top of the metal heap.

 Rock and roll   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Rock and Roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be seen in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s.
While mainstream rock music was no longer able to shock or offend, new forms of music, particularly Punk rock and Rap emerged to fill this role; people who as youths delighted in the effect rock and roll had on their parents found themselves railing in a similar fashion against their children's music.
Rock musicians were early adopters of hippie fashion and introduced such styles as the Nehru jacket; bands such as the Beatles had custom-made clothing that influenced much of '60s style.

 Rock - Wikipedia
Rock er en genre inden for rytmisk musik som har sin rod i 1950'ernes rock'n'roll.
I begyndelsen af 1990'erne opstod nye tendenser der begge udsprang uden for rockmusikkens daværende mainstream og derfor er blevet kaldt for 'alternativ rock'.
I den amerikanske 'grunge'-musik var bands som Soundgarden, Pearl Jam og især Nirvana et bindeled mellem punken og et musikalsk udtryk, der sine steder lå tæt op af 1970'ernes tidlige heavy metal.

 Rock (Musik) - Wikipedia
Rock dient als Oberbegriff für Musikrichtungen, die sich ab den 1950er-Jahren mit dem Aufkommen des Rock 'n' Roll entwickelt haben.
In der Tradition der Beatles sind dann auch jene Bands zu sehen, die später eher in die Kategorie Pop einzuordnen sind und jene, die versuchten, ihre technischen Möglichkeiten immer mehr zu erweitern, wie es die Beatles z.B. bei ihrem Album Sgt.
Der Unterschied zwischen Pop und Rock wurde in der Folge dann in den 80er Jahren sehr fociert, vor allem durch die Indie-Szene, die sich in der Tradition des Punk sah und von dem großen Mainstream der Musikindustrie abzusetzen versuchte.
