After the departure of Rob Caggiano in January, Anthrax were left without a lead guitarist, but the band quickly tapped Shadows Fall axeman Jonathan Donais to fill the void. Now, after a successful trek headlining the 2013 Metal Alliance tour and a bunch of international shows, Anthrax’s Scott Ian has publicly stated that Donais is the new full-time shredder for the band.

Shortly after Rob Caggiano left Anthrax, the guitarist became a full-time member of Volbeat while producing that band’s 2013 full-length album, ‘Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies.’ Donais jumped on board to fill the vacant spot in February, and after over six months in the band, it seems that Donais will be a permanent fixture in Anthrax.

“Jon’s been with us since February,” guitarist Scott Ian tells Metal Hammer Ra...

“Here’s the bottom line: being a drummer is the most physical part of any band,” Ozzy tells Classic Rock in their new summer issue. “And when Bill turned up, he looked like an old guy. I don’t think he had the stamina to play for an hour or so on stage. If I’d had a heart attack like Bill had, I’d go, ‘Fuck, I’m going to lose some weight.’ I train — I work my arse off. So you can’t expect someone who’s been sitting on their fucking arse, eating shit, to come along and go, ‘Equal split.’ It’s insane. I honestly don’t know what went down with that deal, but I suppose it’s something along those lines...
