Anthrax's Scott Ian Reflects On Joey Belladonna Firing
. (Classic Rock) Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says the sacking of Joey Belladonna in 1992 was a result of the guitarist's immaturity at the time. Ian recalls being frustrated with Belladonna's take on his lyrics on songs written for 1990's Persistence Of Time and, rather than trying to work it out, he fired the man who is currently back in the band for a third spell. Ian tells Loudwire: "People always say Persistence Of Time was a dark album. I definitely was a darker person. So much of that goes into why the decision was made that I couldn't move forward any more with Joey in the band. "Up until that point I never had a problem with the way Joey was singing the words I was writing. I thought he got it across perfect. But once we got to Persistence, it wasn't working for me any more. "I really have to point the finger at myself. Thinking back, I probably should have been more communicative with Joey and spent more time with him. We probably should have been able to move forward. But that's who I was then and I can't change that." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
