Scott Ian told MetalTalk: “I was a 17-year-old Metal-head kid from Queens when I started this band. Now, I am a 57-year-old Metal-head kid from Queens about to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this band. That means for 40 years, I’ve gotten to do exactly what I’ve wanted to do. Getting to do what I love and being a part of something so much bigger than myself has made the time, the unbelievable weight of 40, seem so light.
“It’s been an amazing story so far, and I see 40 as a milestone that absolutely should be recognised and celebrated. Congratulations to us! I also see 40 as a stepping stone to the next chapter of Anthrax. We still have a lot to say and some killer riffs to unleash. I’m not going to say, here’s to 40 more because nobody wants to see that (I would be 97).
“How about, here’s to at least ten more, and we’ll go from there! Thank you for enabling me, my friends.”
