Whereas many bear in mind Anthrax’s visitor activate the early period FOX sitcom Married With Kids, that is not the one time they’ve appeared on a significant community sitcom. In addition they served up some awkward laughs on NBC’s ’90s sitcom Newsradio.
Within the 1995 episode “Negotiation,” after one her co-workers will get a promotion, producer/reporter Lisa Miller (Maura Tierney) makes an attempt to leverage the station by revealing she’s acquired an audition for MTV Information. However Lisa’s on-off boyfriend and co-worker Dave Nelson (Dave Foley) laughs off her risk, feeling sure that she’s not an everyday viewer of the community.
That leads us to one of the vital cringeworthy interviews, as Lisa is tasked with interviewing the members of Anthrax for the music video large (as they nonetheless had been in 1995). Scott Ian, Frank Bello and the band’s vocalist on the time, John Bush, all participate within the visitor cameo, the place they subject Lisa’s more and more fumbled questions.
She begins by asking Bush concerning the band’s guitar work on the brand new album, not realizing he is the singer. When Ian chimes in that among the finest guitar work on their album (which might have been Stomp 442) got here from Dimebag Darrell, Lisa mistakenly identifies him as being from “Pandera.” She then proceeds to misidentify the band as grunge, then guesses punk and industrial solely to be corrected once more by the group.
Whereas the band fortunately did not want Lisa’s interview on the present to promote albums, the Newsradio visitor flip was a pleasant plug for his or her 1995 launch, Stomp 442, which yielded the songs “Fueled” and “Nothing.” And, as Ian acknowledged, Dimebag Darrell did help on guitar for the songs “Kingsize” and “Using Shotgun.” The album hit No. 47 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.
Newsradio ran from 1995-1999 on NBC, starring Tierney, Foley, Stephen Root, Phil Hartmann, Andy Dick, Joe Rogan, Vicki Lewis and Khandi Alexander. Watch the Anthrax cameo under.
