Helmet Gig Made Anthrax's Frank Bello A Better Player

(TeamRock Radio) Anthrax bass player Frank Bello says his short spell with Helmet made him a better musician. Bello left Anthrax in 2004 and hooked up with his friends in Helmet for an 18-month spell. He says he needed a break from Anthrax and that the band probably needed a rest from him too - but the separation proved fruitful for everyone involved.

He tells Hangar 19: "It's just like a marriage. We decided to take a little break from each other. I went to go jam with Helmet for a year and a half of f***ing the best fun. Page Hamilton, John Tempesta and Chris Traynor, we had a ball.

"Great musicians in that group - absolutely great musicians. And you know what? I think it made me a better bass player. It made me dig in with a pick, and it was a different form of playing for me." Read more here.
