Anthrax's Scott Ian On How Tech Has Changed Music


. (Classic Rock) Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian saves all the emails he gets from his heroes - but he'd still prefer the internet had never existed. He's currently at work on the band's next album, which they've been teasing via their social media channels.

Ian tells RocksVerige: "Like everything there's good and bad to it. I think about when I was a kid - if I could have sent a message to Steve Harris, and he'd written me back, even just to say, 'Cheers, thank you!' that would have been the coolest thing in the world.

"I'm still like that when I get an email from Gene Simmons or somebody. I save all those because I think it's cool that I have an email from Gene Simmons."

But he adds: "Kiss could never have done what they did in the 70s and kept their identities hidden now. Look at Ghost - how long did it take before there were pictures of those guys all over the internet? There just isn't that mystique thing about bands any more." Read more here.
