Anthrax Cover Boston!
Yes, that's right, Anthrax have recorded a cover of the Boston song Smokin' for their new covers EP 'Anthems'. Smokin’ includes a keyboard solo by Fred Mandel after drummer Charlie Benante admitted none of the band could play the instrument well enough!
Charlie says“You’ll always hear Boston blasting out of our dressing rooms or our bus. It’s one of those timeless records that doesn’t have a bad track on it. It’s almost like a greatest-hits album. When I hear it, I think back to being young, it’s the summertime, and people are driving by in their cars crankin’ Boston.”
