Anthrax's Joey Belladonna A Loner In The Studio

(Classic Rock) Anthrax frontman Joey Belladonna has revealed that he prefers to record his vocal parts without the interference of his bandmates. The singer insists on being alone in the studio with producer Jay Ruston and sending his vocal takes to the band via email for approval, rather than having them around while he works.

Belladonna tells Metal Wani: "It's just me and Jay Ruston in the studio and it's awesome to be able to do a record that way. With nobody there, that's my favourite thing. No-one interjecting what I'm doing.

"Long ago I never even got to the next thing that I could have without having someone interfering. Sometimes that's a good thing, but a lot of the time it's tough.

"It was almost like getting beat down. Like, 'What do you want me to do? I've tried.' The producer's cool, me and him don't push each other to a point where it's frustrating. But the band, there was a lot of opinions around. It was a lot of hours and it was tough. It's not easy to sing over this stuff, it's very challenging." Read more here.
