One of the most popular bands of the 1980s thrash metal scene, Anthrax are notable for combining metal with rap and hardcore music early on. They have sold over 10 million albums worldwide and are classified as one of the big four of thrash metal alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. Both the band and individual members have made many, many TV appearances across famous US shows and in the UK they became well known partly for this legendary concert shot in November 1987 at the Hammersmith Odeon
