Before we get into today's story, a correction from last episode, a viewer pointed out I skipped The Greater of Two Evils (2004), so we're covering that first. From there, we dive into the most chaotic stretch in Anthrax's history: the short-lived 2005 classic reunion, why it fell apart, Dan Spitz's shocking career pivot, the truth behind Rob Caggiano's exit, Frank Bello's time in Helmet, Joey Vera's crucial fill-in role, the strange rise and messy exit of Dan Nelson, and how the band talked John Bush into one last run before finally bringing Joey Belladonna back for good.
This is the decade that almost broke Anthrax, three singers, multiple guitarists, a lawsuit, an NDA, and a band fighting to survive. Part of our ongoing Anthrax documentary series.
