Anthrax Who What Where When Why And How Lyrics

Who What Where When Why And How Lyrics

Milk and Chromatic Death:  Well, well, thought long dead.  Back rearing his
head, "Sgt. D".  The great thing about  these two songs is that they are cover
songs that we wrote.  "What?" you say, you don't understand.  Well here's the
deal.  In 1985, me and Chaarlie played on an album by SOD along with Dan 
Lilker and Billy Milano.  All these songs were written while we wre in the
studio recording "Spreading the Disease."  We already had enough songs for that
album so we figured we'd release all of thse other songs under a different name.
 SOD's "Speak English Or Die" came out around August of 85 and we played 6 shows
between October and Decmeber and that was it.  Basically, we all had other sh*t
to do.  But, it was fun and I guess that's why we've brought these back now. 
We've made some changes (we're allowed, we wrote'em), Joey's singing, different
tuning, well, you'll hear them for yourself.  Oh, those of you who have never
heart the original versions may recognize "Chromatic."  MTV used it as theme
music for Headbangers Ball for a long time. (They showed cars and trucks
crashing and all sorts of stuff)

Bring the Noise:  Bass!  How low can you go?  Damn, how heavy can you get?  The
main voice on verses one and two is Chuck D's.  The main voice for verses three
and four is Scotts.  All the other voice are by Charlie and Frank with a little
bit of flavor.  The lyrics are by Chuck D and Hankd Shocklee.  The music is by
Anthrax and engineered by Mark Dodson.

Keep It In the Family (Live):  This was recorded live at the National
Exhibition Center, Birmingham, England on December 14th.

Startin' Up A Posse:  The day this becomes a hit is the same day that people
will realize there are no such things as "swear words" (why is "shit" bad and
"excrement OK), that sex is not pornography, violence is, and that heavy metal
is not the devil's music (I personally think he's into new age).  This is a
free country.  Speak your minds people.  Think it, say it, and f**kin' live it.
 The main voice on this track is by Scott.  All the other voices are by Charlie,
Frank, Joe, Dan, and Mark Dodson.

Protest and Survive:  The main voice is Scotts'.  This song was written by
Discharge and is from the album "Hear nothing, see nothing, say nothing." 
Check this one out boys and girls, it's as heavy as it gets.

I'm the Man '91:  Just like the title says, new '91 style.  New words, new
beats, new mix, new and improved (like Tide).  Well, you'll hear for yourself. 
Charlie came up with all the beats and the idea to redo it.  Special thanx to
the Beastie Boys

Parasite:  People ask us all the time, "Why do you do cover songs?"  Fun,
that's why.  Any song we've ever covered or will cover in the future is a song
that someone in the band loves.  People wanna know what our influences are. 
All you've gotta do is look at the covers we do.  It's fun to play a song that
you love, to record it and listen to it.  When we were mixing this, Gene
Simmons came down to the sudio and we played it for him.  He loved it and
couldn't believe it was Joey singing.  Then he breathed fire and spit blood all
over the place.  I smiled for a week.

Pipeline:  People don't realize what an influence Don Wilson and Nokie Edwards
playing has had on what's become known as "thrash" metal.  Their riffing,
slides, and especially their pikcing is so similar to so much that is going on
now.  They took such simple melodies and made them sound huge.  Pick up a
"Ventures" greatest hits CD, you won't be disappointed.  Now for the technical
stuff.  We recorded this in early 1988 when we did "State of Euphoria".  Scott
plays all of the guitars on this.  This track was previously released on
"Penikufesin", an EP available only in Europe and Japan.

Sects:  An ode to Jim Jones, the Kool-Aid Killer.  Trust wrote some great
songs.  Antisocial is one of the all time anthems ever.  It's a shame that this
band didn't get the exposure in the US that other bands got in the early 80's. 
They were real life.  No Dungeons and Dragons fantasy lyrics from is band. 
They wrote from the heart.  Hardcore.  Check out "Repression".

Belly of the Beast (Live):  All the same info as "Keep It" track except this
was from the second night, Dec 15th.

NFB (Dallabnikufesin):  Four chords, the words; love, rain, crying, love,
sweet, love, together...did I mention the word love?  The magic formula that
makes...A Ballad.  Ecept, ours doesn't have such a happy ending (you can
probably figure that out by the title).  Originally, instead of the way it ends
now, I wanted her to die slowly from cancer but that was bad karma, so we went
for the truck.  All the crying is real.  We wrote it in 19 seconds and the
really f**ked up thing is this:  what we consider to be a complete joke, other
bands have based their whole careers on.  Oh well, it's a free world, and
everyone is allowed to suck if they want to.

See ya

P.S.  If anyone is offended by this song they're an idiot.
