    Exactly, I wanted to know if you put the El Diablo in your new Soloists too!

      Can you please describe what it is about the El Diablo pickup (blade version) that appeals to you?

      Thanks again for spending time with us.

      The Diablo works at every level of tone I need. From my dense, chunking, edgy, rhythm tone to more hard rock AC/DC type tones to cleaning all the way up for parts, it does it all.

        Good to have you here, Scott.

        I've always enjoyed the humorous elements of Anthrax. Was it a conscious effort to infuse heavy metal with comedy?

          Hi Scott:

          This question also comes from someone who couldn't make it to the live chat. He wants to know if you've ever given any thought or been asked to produce music for bands other then the ones you play in.

            My 81 Gibson V and my 82 Randy Rhoads were the guitars.

                No, we're just ourselves. However who we are comes out in our music.

                  Actually I live in Queens, N.Y. There was one piece of trivia. I heard early on Anthrax helped out Metallica since Metallica arrived in the same studio to record their first album, which is where Anthrax was recording at the time, and Anthrax pretty hooked up Metallica cause they were starving. I heard the studio was in Queens, N.Y.

                  Living in Queens, I never knew of any studio (it was before my time), so I was wondering where it was so I could visit the site where 2 of the heaviest bands recorded their heaviest work (sorry if this 36 year old man now sounds like an insane obsessed teenager asking you these crazy questions). As far as I know it's probably gone now

                    Hi Scott,

                    It's a pleasure to have such a metal star on the forum, it's great!

                    bit of a lame question, but i wanted to know, when did you start playing guitar, what made/who influenced you want to learn guitar and what guitar did you learn to play on?

                    many thanks.

                      Thanks! I remember my friends and I listening to that album in high school trying to figure out how to replicate that sound.

                        Yes, and I have in the past but I am just too busy to be able to focus on that properly.

                          Scott,
                          What do the Big 4 concerts mean to you? Is it just another gig or do you step onstage and say, "Man, we're making history!"?

                          Also, what did you think when you first heard Metallica's black album? I know on their Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica DVD, Bob Rock said James was hesitant to sing Nothing Else Matters because of what Anthrax would think. Thoughts?

                            Scott:

                            I own a Jackson JJ bass from the mid-90s. Very cool short scale with a single Basslines Music Man-style pickup and active electronics. What was your involvement in the development of that instrument and what were looking for with that bass?

                              My Favorite album ever is Among The Living. What makes that album so special in Your eyes? How come that thing is so differenet than anything else you did, especially different than the albums you made before. What was the inspiration?
                              Cheers, and happy new "Jewish" year

                                It was called The Music Building and it was in Jamaica Queens. It's long gone.
