Makes one wonder if Neil Peart would’ve corrected his posture earlier in his career he would not have had the pain issues he reported mid to late career. His posture in the “show of hands” live shows looks painful, like his back is going to snap in half. And that is 1988ish! Rip
One of my all time favorite drummers and biggest influences. I watched the NFV (Among the Living Live) video a billion times during the 80's trying to see what he was doing and learn.
that tempo change he initiates is always riveting, completely epic drive in it! love seeing it live, it just tears the place up. it so happens anthrax are at every metal fest what a blessing.
Dude, I have got to tell you that right now you are such a huge influence on my playing. I'm gonna be 41 this October and I am rediscovering metal and Anthrax is on my playlist daily. I spent all my formative years learning a lot of bullshit on the drums instead of following my true passion, which was to play fast and play hard! YOU RULE MR.BENANTE.
no no no, just helping out while Charlie dealt with some important home/personal issues that kept him from the road this past summer - he's still the man, and always will be, and I'm back to work with Shadows Fall, but anytime I can help out is an honor.
I'll never forget in San Antonio Texas the state of euphoria tour at the sunken gardens theatre judgemental,Fight and Anthrax.i was drum tech for my buds in local band Judgemental.i got to watch Charlie from behind the kit the entire show.i was in heaven.you never knew Charlie...but for me was incredible!
mad armed and dangeous charlie benate as a young punk metal drummer in the late eighties was the bar i practiced drumming to anthrax with just drumsticks and pillows set out as a kit for years before my mum got me an ancient seventies disco kit love u charlie x
Master at work! Yo Charlie,you are definitely among those drummers ive admired ever since i heard Spreading the disease some years back around '85, hehe. You are a fantastic drummer and im glad that you are still doing what you love. Much love from Finland. Keep those sticks flying,man :D
Charlie, you are my favorite drummer. I bought 20 pairs of your Signatur sticks. And ich bought your Signatur snare ❤️❤️❤️❤️you play sooooooooooo awesome!!!!!
Charlie Benante Zildjian is better...I got some Paiste Rudes with my first kit...hated them...later on bought a couple of 2000’s the 18” china was really good...2002’s are good and the giant beats...anyway, why play Paiste, when there’s Zildjian...😂😂😂
Yes indeed,I use a 16,17,18,20 inch alpha crashes and crash ride, 22 inch ride ,16 and 18 nova China's, some custom 13 inch sound edge rude hi hats, and 14 inch alpha hat's, and a 10 and 12 alpha splash cymbals, they can take more of a beating than any other manufacturers I've ever used, paiste for ever.
I had no idea you had a CZcams channel, and it's awesome. Please keep it going! Also a video of Anthrax at the gate of Area 51 would be so cool. Thank you!!!
I've been backstage more than a few times doing security work, it's amazing how different the sound is. The sound is meant to be projected outwards. What's that like for you? And I understand that you have ear monitors, maybe not always the case from way back
Still playing it kind of slow, but not as slow as it was on the Big 4 DVD, yet not as fast as it was in 1987. I don't mean for this to be taken personally, I'm just making an observation. Anthrax is still one of my favorite bands of all time... ahead of the rest of the big 4!
Watching this vid, I'm reminded on how much Charlie gets his technique from Chris Frantz (Talking Heads). A lot of the drum tracks on Among the Living- and those other '80s Anthrax discs, they are just "Take Me to the River" with a couple extra fills thrown in.
I love drum cam videos. So that's what a real ride is supposed to sound like. Someone should tell Lars Ulrich he's been playing the wrong thing for years lol. Seriously though, awesome work as always.
@jasonbittner Saw you play at Mayhem fest, just wanted to say you kicked ass! Wasn't to bumed out to not see Charlie because i had already seen them at the Big 4. I'll be checking Shadow Fall out, some really great stuff!
It's scary how drummers like Charlie, Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan, & Tom Hunting just seem to get better with age!
I believe it's called practice or experience.... or both!
@@Ch3ewthat yeah we know smart guy
and then we have..........lars
properly trained musicians will do that.

Him and Dave Lombardo are my favorite drummers.
Ty Manning- Lars could.....
Be used as a rag to wipe the floor clean of sweat after anthrax & suicidal perform.
Ever notice Dave stoped playing his bass drum during his fills? Charlie was and is better.
We are on the same page my two most favourite metal drummers!
These two and Menza for me.
I hear ya! and Mike Portnoy :-)
one of the greatest and underrated thrash or even metal drummers ever
Fucking top Drummer I agree with you comment. Charlie is a 10/10 from me with Drumming.
And bands. Definitely the most underrated Big 4 band.
He is also the main riff writer for Anthrax , in fact he is a very good guitar player, and Frank Bello uncle
Dave Grohl is fastest
Dave grohl is good, so is lars ulrich, but neither hold a candle to this guy!
Thanks! You are my favorite fan!
YOU ARE SO BAD ASS
6 years and only 12 upvotes, you really one of us ;)
Youve always been one of my favorite drummers dude and biggest inspirations man,Thanks!!
Rick Animal Taylor lol 7 years later guys
What is it?.. It's a perfect drums!) You're the best!
video shot by yours truly 2/8 in NYC - i always get the best seat in the house!!! sometimes even the drum throne!!!
He makes it look so easy, effortless..one of my favorite drummers
Those drums sound so punk, I love it.
The man is, always has been, and always will be a fucking machine.
One of my all time favorite drummers and biggest influences. I watched the NFV (Among the Living Live) video a billion times during the 80's trying to see what he was doing and learn.
This reminds me of when metal was fun...
Thanks for posting this.
Hell fucking yes. Can't wait to get Caught In A Mosh May 20th, 2015 in Chicago.
Charlie you are the man!!!!
One of my FAVORITE BANDS since the 80s...BENANTE!!!
Over 50 years old and he's still killin it
Venomous Soup i know thats the scary part
Gods like Dave and Charlie don’t age like normal people.
My favorite band of the Big 4. Only had a chance to see them twice, but I'm so glad I did.
I just started listening to Anthrax this week and I cannot get enough!!!! Rock on :)
Thanks. Paiste is the best!
4:35 Perfect Drumming!!!
I've been a fan of Charlie and Anthrax since the Spreading The Disease album, and when S.O.D was created. Still I am.
Hail Charlie!!
that tempo change he initiates is always riveting, completely epic drive in it! love seeing it live, it just tears the place up. it so happens anthrax are at every metal fest what a blessing.
Thanks Charlie, this song and your style gets me EVERY time!
You are fucking awesome! I've always been inspired by your drumming Charlie :D Hopefully I can meet you one day!
Seriously, you don't wanna meet him.
why?
@@marcoslacerda4255 and then he was never heard of again.
@@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825 just talk coffee and you'll be fine, sheesh

Always been a fan of Anthrax, and always loved each one of you in the band.
THANK YOU for kicking it!
Your band has gotten me through the good and the bad times ❤

Look at that audience from that position. Must be a blast to play these songs for those crazy crowds night after night!

I saw Anthrax in 1988 (I tihnk) at Cobo in Detroit with Helloween and Exodus. That show was amazing. Thank you!
Hero, from early 1980s to 2021! Now, to me, 1 of the few existing metal drummers from this era.
I loooovvvve him. He's soooo gooooood ❤️The best drumer for ever!!!! My favorite drummer forever ❤️
So underrated so damn good great in the studio and absolutely killer live.
That brings back some good memories from my youth. Ah to be a teenager again. Thanks Charlie. 🤘
What a song, such a killer buildup!!!
I would love to see more vids like this! You're an amazing talent Charlie, love watching you play!
mad armed and dangeous charlie benate as a young punk metal drummer in the late eighties was the bar i practiced drumming to anthrax with just drumsticks and pillows set out as a kit for years before my mum got me an ancient seventies disco kit love u charlie x
Charlie is one of my most favorite drummers ever...
One of the best drummers in metal!

1:28 !!!!! One of my favorite drum fills all the time!!!!!!
Charlie, you are my favorite drummer. I bought 20 pairs of your Signatur sticks. And ich bought your Signatur snare ❤️❤️❤️❤️you play sooooooooooo awesome!!!!!
Criminally underated
Last 10 seconds LMAO. You're awesome Charlie.
By far the one drummer that I've always wanted to meet. Too bad they don't have like a contest or something to have a drum master class with Charlie!
nice dude!! you are my favorite drummer!!!
I've recently been really getting into this guy's playing. Really tasteful and fun but plenty heavy. Makes me want to headbang but with a smile haha.
Amazing drummer!
It’s crazy when you remember that Charlie has written the majority of Anthrax songs…. on guitar. Scary ass musician.
Cool drummer nice style
The reason why Charlie is among my favorite thrash drummers.
Awesome video Char! Great view! Thanks for the upload.
One of the best to ever do it...🥁🤘
He never looks old
You are my hero on drums Charlie! Anthrax Rulez!!!!!
Saw Anthrax in Rochester NY a couple of years ago. Charlie is a SOLID drummer, BAR NONE.
Seen him live. Caught In A Mosh was awesome. Slayer mothers day 2018.
Larry Owens did you take your mom though?
Charlie is a great inspiration !
This is so awesome. Thanks for posting!
Yeah! Totally awesome playing!
METAL FOREVER!!
Paiste is the best!
Charlie Benante
pAisTe RUDE.
YOU, Dave L, and Eloy casagrande are awesome RUDE artists.
That Rude on your right! Mother of God! Really cuts!
Charlie Benante
Zildjian is better...I got some Paiste Rudes with
my first kit...hated them...later on bought a couple
of 2000’s the 18” china was really good...2002’s

This Fu$king kicks some serious ass a real superhero right out of comic book!
This is from Anthrax 30. I've been recently watching Anthrax 40 videos, goddam!! 40 years!! .....and still going, awesome band!
My fav drummer
Truly fantastic! Do you ever play other styles? If you do, it would be brilliant to see/hear some...
best drummer!
He's a boss on those Symbols near the start.
I've been backstage more than a few times doing security work, it's amazing how different the sound is. The sound is meant to be projected outwards.
What's that like for you? And I understand that you have ear monitors, maybe not always the case from way back
charlie is the very definition of awesomeness!
Benante, Bello, Belladona... Seems as these people are from Italian descendance.
I love sitting behind the drum set this is kick

Wow - this IS really close to Take Me to The River - just sped up a little bit. I'm surprised no one else has brought that up.
I’m bad at music that I needed to go listen to Take Me to the River to get the joke.
I wish Charlie had been there when Anthrax came to Quebec City on September 30. Still a hell of a show though.
charlie fkn' benante!!!!! hell yeah!!!!
killing it like only Charlie B. can ill.
would love to get some Paiste crash cymbols with the pentagrams! How cool!
His blast beats are so great
Jason C Where?
Dude is a genius in general
I didn't realize how many prog elements are in this song....
Monster of Drums !!!
Very underated drummer imo
I've got one.
Tama CB1465.
Love it to pieces
This gent's channel is criminally undersubscribed
🤘🥁🤘
Kickass dude! Fucking love Anthrax!
Thx for making this video!!

Dave and Charlie are the reason that we have super fast double bass playing, they are the governor's.
Thanks for noticing the comment mate, see you next year in October, already got my ticket
Astounding.
4:37 that was nuts!
YO Charlie?! What's that f-in noise???
Great view from thought I was Charlie for a min 😊
Danm! that was awesome!
Damn. He's good.
4:39!!!!!
Thanks for the video
What a monster drummer Charlie is
the bell on that ride is beautiful
how about gung ho, or among the living with feet cam too? that would be so cool!!
