Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian remembers a conversation he had in the early 80s with the band’s original bass player, Danny Lilker. The pair were discussing their plans for the group they’d formed together in their native Queens, New York in 1981.
“Me and Danny were sitting around one day talking about the future,” says Scott. “We didn’t know what the fuck we would ever do if Anthrax didn’t happen. I remember us saying, ‘Well, if the band doesn’t make it, we’ll join the Marines.’”
