Anthrax went to church when they brought their Covid-delayed 40th anniversary tour to Nashville\\u2014the Mother Church of Country Music, that is, aka the Ryman Auditorium\\u2014on August 15. And PG\\u2019s Perry Bean was there to welcome the thrash metal royals and talk with guitarists Scott Ian and Jon Donais, and bassist Frank Bello. Some things have changed in their gear since our earlier Rundown, in 2012, but not Ian\\u2019s loyalty to Jackson, which makes the signature-model King V\\u2019s he loves to play. Donais is equally stoked on his Dean Exile signature axe, which he also used on the recent Shadows Fall reunion tour. And Bello shared his new signature Charvel bass and EMG pickups. Ian kicked things off, playing his V with a vintage-diner-tile-style finish, his current favorite. Check it out!
