Just wanted to poll the audience here. Anthrax has said they will probably change their name in light of what's happening to Basket of Puppies???
Do you think they should change their name? Why or Why not? |

Definitely not. It's only a matter of time before the public figures out just how silly this anthrax "scare" is, and if the band changes its name, they're the ones who'll be feeling silly.
Plus, they can take advantage of it. The marquee can say "TONIGHT - ANTHRAX! CATCH IT WHILE YOU CAN! |

NO, they should leave it be.
I can see problems arising in during the winter tour with promoters and venue owners not really wanting to have the band play their venue.
I can see the sick f.uckers now coming into the show and dipersing harmless powder all over the place to get the crowd and security all worked up. |

Good point there Icarus! I hope they consider the possibilities of that happenning? It would probably be a wise move to sit this tour out.
I don't think they should change their name. HM has always had a way of dealing with fear head-on! All the spiritual movements in the 70s; Black Sabbath, Nazareth, Bedemon, Pentagram, Coven, etc. Cold war, increase of homicides, rising of
Satan worshippers etc of the 80s; Blitzkrieg, Death, Devil Childe, Nuclear Assault, H-Bomb, At War, Satan, Evil, Alias Mangler, Ripper, etc. This music hasn't and shouldn't bow to any fears. Among others things it is a way to cope and face these tough times head-on. Anthrax should stay who they have been for the past 20 years! This threat could have just as easily taken place in 1980! |

I kindof like that name Basket of Puppies. They are allowed to change their name to that, but anything else wouldn't be nearly as cool. |

No they should not change their name. They should be aware if they choose to tour during this Anthrax scare that there is a lot sick people out there that could take the opportunity to give this band a bad name. |

Does anybody else find it pretty lame that they're touring without an album anyway? I mean, It's been three years since they've put one out (still haven't seen a _Ghosts Of Mars_ soundtrack out there anywhere). A tour might not be a great idea at a time like this, but it'd be a good opportunity to work more on an album. |
