Anthrax Frontman Clarifies Comments About Bandmates

(Classic Rock) Anthrax frontman Joey Belladonna has discussed his recent comments about being "only allowed so much friendship" with his bandmates. He insists he didn't mean to suggest there were problems within the thrash giants - but admits he'd still prefer to be closer to the people he works with.

In February the third-stint singer said: "I don't think I've ever really found my place with this band. They were open to me, but they weren't doing anything to make me feel it was going to be the best thing in the world. It was more businesslike."

Now Belladonna tells Rocksverige: "I don't necessarily say that we're not getting along. When I grew up playing with people in my hometown, we'd hang together. We just don't. But that doesn't mean we're not going what we need to do - my intentions were not to make things should like we're just a mess."

He's sure the situation isn't an intentional one, but says: "I'm always picking at people and trying to get them to open up and maybe talk. A lot of people don't want to do it, and that's fine, but I'm not that kind of guy.

"Sometimes you don't know what you're dealing with until you talk to people. Maybe you can get something off your chest and maybe something can actually be resolved by it." He also discusses the progress on their next album.
