Great drummer and very underrated drummer. Thx Charlie for decades of inspiration. 🤘🥁
How Lars gets more Recognition than Charlie is a crime!
probably nobody will believe it, but i threw that flag of Brazil (the one behind Charlie) on the stage when Anthrax played in my city in 2004 (2005?) - there's was "not" written in orange...
Cool man
Hands down one of the best drummers from the metal genre, technical, fast and precise. unbelievable watching Charlie play especially SOD covering Reign in Blood, Anthrax doing Gung ho. Manic and fucking perfect
The beauty of anthrax is the fact that all these guys are still crushing this music after nearly 40 years....
I noticed that there's not an obese guy in the band after all these years... So un-American!!
It's the babies blood that keeps them young.
I'm still listening after nearly 40yrs!😎💕
Gung-ho is probably one of the most brutal anthrax songs it’s my favorite hands down
Charlie beat the beat, the beats you beat!
Foot smell! I bet they were ripe at times!
Man, after the solo, right before the final verse, made me want to stand up and throw my dinner plate at the wall and mosh it up in my kitchen!!!!! Anthrax is AGELESS!!!! 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Joey singing next too his backyard fence. Now thats Metal. Thanks for the time trip. My absolute favorite era of Anthrax.
Amazing song definitely. I'm remember my VHS live at Hammersmith Odeon England 1987. Remember your drums technician Joe Tempesta in this time. Your the Best friend.
Man I can only imagine the leg cramps after. That song is badass still . True thrash
FUck.... my legs cramped up watching this
You have to be relaxed part of the Reason we Swivel
You shouldn't be straining anything. It is really all about controlling your fast muscle twitches and relaxing. Easier said than done though.
Whenever im asked by kids what thrash metal is ? I tell them to listen to Anthrax's Gung Ho from Spreading the disease . Timeless classic
loved all the guest musicians but we need more full Anthrax songs like this!!
Boy, if Charlie could do a breakdown of how to play BELLY OF THE BEAST I'd be stoked. I just love that song for whatever reason.
Probably because it's a great song, right? I've always loved that one.
And that the time double bass drum wasn't much of a dominant feature as it became in the late 80s/early 90s. Charlie outdid almost everyone back then. Good work! Thanks for the great music!
It amazes me how we used to play those old cheap pedals, the modern bass drum pedals are so advanced and makes playing double bass so much easier.
This is such a killer tune, Back in the 80's this is 1 of the main tune's we'd mosh to in our front yards, Gung Ho, Hell Awaits, Among The Living, Angel Of Death, Darkness Descends, Power Surge! You get the idea, Anthrax was a staple to our music back then and still is NOW! Killer band thru and thru!
Power surge. Fuck yeah. I'm 51 so glad I saw the birth of metal....been listening since 1977....
@@tttarms1970 Yeah my dude , Thrash metal was a fucking tidal wave of a revolution back then and this tune is part of that history . Born in 69 myself i was 14 when all that happened .Awesome days
Thank you Anthrax! It’s like the one drug that never gets old or destroys someone. It only stays just as good as ever. No way could that exist but it does. Food for the soul. Rock on you guys. Seriously!
Been a Anthrax fan since Fistful of Metal... Still on board today.... Anthrax has been a huge influence on my playing and still remain. All eras... 🤘🤘
WoW glad to hear these old classic songs with all Anthrax boys 🤘😎
Loved the part about charlie breaking his pedal. Song was too metal that it couldn't hold up. Thanks for playing gung ho.
Thumbed up for Charlie finally shaving that moustache.
The best drummer of Big 4, always very underrated
Uh..that would be Gar Samuelson..he was a jazz drummer in the 70's with Chris Poland way before any of the Big 4 existed. That's why the first 2 Megadeth albums had that groove to it.Drugs ruined his career though. The worst drummer obviously is Lars..hahahaha. Charlie and Dave is a toss up.
Definitely! Charlie and Lombardo played the tasty bits.
I love Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benantte, and it's nearly impossible to pick a favourite out of the two, for me Dave Lombardo was and still is the slightly faster of the two, but it's Dave's fills that are just next level, the fact that he's left handed but plays a right handed set up allows the fills to sound so different to everyone else.
Tom Hunting > Big 4 drummers
@@silverblack5475 Tom Hunting and Gene Hoglan 🤘
Huge fan of Anthrax and Charlie,
One of the best drummers and so underrated by many.
.
Absolutely agree Metal EZ 👍⭐👍
It was the year 88, I was a kid and we had a huge stereo system with a timer and auto play. My mom asked me to put an alarm on 😮so we can wake up at 5 and travel for our summer holidays. I put Gungo-Ho ready on the tape and set the alarm. I never saw my mom stand up soo quick, run to the living room and switch the stereo off! I think she Never ran as fast. When I checked the tape‘s counter, it ran just for 7 seconds!!! I don‘t know what happened to the neighbours that morning 😅
One of my favourite drummers of all time 🙏🏼👊🏼
I love this album. It's the one that had the biggest impact on me. Very underrated album.
Blew among away....
Keeping up with Charlie on this song is impossible for us mortals. I'll just stick to playing air guitar with Scott and hold on for dear life.
That was fucking insane. Love to see more of this. Anthrax. Best of the Big 4. Charlie you rock brother. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Still love their music today when I grew up to it in the '80s my favorite album was attack of the killer bees.
Such a great guy. The backbone of his band, too.
You, Lombardo, Bostaph and Tom Hunting are the best thrash drummers of metal history! Hugs from Brazil!
True but charlie is also Awesome
@@MetalHeart8787 I wrote 'YOU' to Charlie! He's fuckin' GREAT! Read one more time!
@@8Megaton OH OK.
I like bostaph
I cant find words to express how this track made me feel when I was 15 back in the 80s, just brilliant!
I'm way behind on Charlie's vids but man.....I can't stop smiling watching this. Just does my heart good!!!! Thank you!!!
One of my favorite Anthrax songs ever! Thanks, guys!
Thank you, Charlie !!!
You are the first reason for me to choose playing drums.
Thank you for all the musical inspiration throughout the years !!!
Among the Living was the first Anthrax tour I've seen. Fun night.
You are such an amazing drummer!!!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Charlie might be the most underrated drummer in history. He blows away the other drummers in the Big 4, including Lombardo.
In my opinion Lombardo is overrated
I think it goes
1.Charlie
2.Lars
3.Dave Lombardo
4.Dirk Verbeuren
@@yeetfeet1878 LARS above Dave??? what? Lars can't even keep a steady tempo.
And you forgot Tom Hunting.
@@blppt Lars can keep a steady tempo. And have you seen when Dave Lombardo filled in for Lars? His timing was everywhere. To be honest there is no best drummer because they all have there own style.
@@yeetfeet1878 He had to learn those two songs for the FIRST TIME two hours before the show, because nobody knew Lars wasn't going to play. Secondly, he messed up on Battery because he was playing the right tempo for the song, and Metallica tend to play it slightly slower live. And add that stupid "Are you alive?" crowd pumping segment in the middle of the song.
Joey Jordison, OTOH, grew up covering Metallica and has probably played all of those songs a thousand times.
Charlie was the best thrash drummer of the 80,s. I learnt so much off Charlie,
Lombardo
Anthrax is one of the most creative bands in all of metal, ever
Hey Charlie
Saw You KILL 'EM ALL in Houston with PANTERA!!! LOVE YOU FOR YOUR "MAKE YOU STUPID" talent!!! Keep doing all Your incredible amazing talent throwing Your had back and forth!!!
Killer super speed on that song, it’s badass extreme! This song definitely set the bar and tempo super high for drummers to follow
His drumming solidified the sound of METAL.
You are a beautiful soul...simply amazing, out of this world, richly and finely tuned powerful compositions, arrangements and your talents, phew.
Astounding! This flower power girl rounding the corner of ... aged to perfection learns something new, gains a new appreciation for this genre and the incredible musicianship of Charlie and all the players. Good ear shot of energy in the morning! Thank you!
You may not know it yet, but now you're hooked: Enjoy the journey. Message me for some recommendations anytime. : )
20-Years ago, at Thrash Of The Titans in S.F. I had the privilege of standing directly behind the Drum Riser, seeing Charlie straight Up WRECK that set for Both Anthrax and S.O.D. (pretty sure it was back2back sets) I could not believe wtf I was watching! I remember looking around, seeing some of the sickest drummers, watching him, and there jaws along with mine, to the Floor! So many know just how good he is, BUT, so many have not a clue, he is definitely in the Top 5, (if not 3) in Thrash/Metal, EVER!FO SHO! #CHARLiEdontCHEAT!
Good to watch Charlie explain how he managed to keep up with the speed when struggling live. It reminded me that he is actually human lol.
Playing gung ho and haunting the chapel early in the morning is the perfect workout for the double bass drummer. At least i try to...
I met Anthrax a few years ago, they n tour with Testament, Charlie and Frank were the coolest.
Love it!! Great video song, Band! Always a joy to listen to and watch live!
One of my biggest inspirations! Hey Charlie!
Saw you guys at the Santander/ Reading Pennsylvania show!!! Awesomeness!!! 😎 👍
I love you Charlie!!! Thank you for everything you do!!!!!!!!?
One of my favorite Anthrax songs! Thanks for the breakdown, Charlie! Cheers.
Everyone is talking about the man’s talent and capability, which is super important... but that clean shave... whoa
Italians, man...
Had the pleasure seeing you guys play twice on the Among the Living tour @ the Cameo Theater on Miami Beach..
One of my favorites...not only anthrax but SOD has some killer drumming,seasoning the obese song and bigger than the devil album are top notch
It was amazing and still is❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice socks! Greetings from lower saxony, Germany.
We had two Kawasaki xt550s back in the '80s we drove the s*** out of them bikes I'd pull a wheelie from just about every stoplight and stop sign that I could constantly power shifting second to do another wheelie I never once broke a motorcycle chain yet Charlie break chains regularly by just his drum feet phenomenal
Love it. More please. You guys are the best.
Loving gung ho since spreading. Never matched.
One of the best thrash songs ever
Love hearing all this! non stop dedication, very inspiring :)
Still wanna hear P N V!!! Great video🤘 you so rock!!! Seen the sign NOT NOT NOT. My high school bf fell asleep in sun we taped NOT on his chest lol he got sun burn all you could see is NOT!! Great times!!
Great tune,and another one of my influences.
It ain't easy that's for sure ❤❤ Charlie
This is awesomly, brutally awesomely!
Always loved Gung ho!
As well as the hammersmith video!🤘🏼
Nice shirt Charlie! Cheers from Italy
This was awesome thank you for breaking it down 🤘🏻🤘🏻☠️
Imagine if Lars had the mentality of Benante. He might actually have been and still be good. Benante has to be one of the most underrated metal drummers ever. He's not too far off from Lombardo in my book.
Cool! More vids like this!
Awesome! Scott even pulls out a solo? Must be a special occasion....
Scott used to play solos on some songs back then.he stopped doing it after this album
Love this song, great vid.
If you clock the speed of that beater flying I'm willing to bet Charlie is making that beater fly at 20MPH to 25 MPH i mean man its flying no joke
And I watch this.... i now want to throw my drums away thanks ....You guys are such badasses
I didn’t know I did it either haha. Thanks mate great videos.
Awesome 😎
Fantastic x
Legends.
Anthrax Wrote the book ,,,No question
The best drummer! Awesome.
I love your Van Halen shirt Charlie!!
Fight,fight,fight.....GUNG-HO.YEEEEEEEEES!
You are the Best!!!
Damn, thats freaking awesome
Excellent Char. My support will always be my great friend🤙🥁🤙👍🤘. I hope I can have the honor of meeting you. You live in California and I in Las Vegas nv relatively close.
I seen you guys at the aragon in Chicago you are awesome
Shattering stuff! Heard this way back and despite having first heard the Persistence of Time album, this made me a crazed Charlie fan!
Vamossssss Benante!!!!!!!!! Hellyeah 👊
Badass! \m/ Classic jam!
I'm having flashbacks of caught in the mosh. 🤟
Always wearing killer shirt👌🏻⭐️
Love it...
Fucking brilliant. Nuff said.
