Anthrax Speaks!
Fresh off of releasing their first
album in eight years, founding
Anthrax members Scott Ian and
Charlie Benante (who tracked
much of the guitar on the album)
join lead guitarist Rob Caggiano
to talk about the process of putting the record together and what
it’s like backstage at Big 4 shows.
Show Us Your Gear: Pedalboards
It’s pedalboard time again! If you missed out
on our first reader pedalboard gallery, or have

send your pictures in this year. Whether small and
utilitarian or expansive and deserving of its own

Send photos and a caption identifying each pedal
and what kind of music you make with them to
rebecca@premierguitar.com.
