You say you want your own state?
I'll give you a state; a state of unconsciousness
-- Keep It in the Family
We just want to have a (interupted voice) festival ... (trailing off)
Fun you stupid idiot! Master! (from Metallica's Master of Puppets)
-- I'm the Man!
Anyway,
I was thinking of them, as they were one of the first bands (people who play their own instruments, and write their own songs) to work with rap and rap groups. They worked with Public Enemy on Public Enemy's remake of Bring the Noize. It certainly breathed life into the song.
I heard Kid Rock on the radio ... oi! He was not the first to "sample" music nor to "Take rock and mix it with hip hop". All things considered, I think Anthrax might live longer than Kid Rock.
1. the Anthrax scare of late 90s and early 00's
2. some versatility
3. williness to play small venues
4. likely fewer expensive vices
a. Kid Rock ... "whiskey and cocaine"
b. Kid Rock ... "buying large rock for Pamela Anderson"
1. Pam Anderson -- yuck! There's nothing attractive about that nor anyhing real.
Kid Rock might play his own music, but I'd say, POSER. He teamed up with Metallica on their last legs of being okay. Later they put out St. Anger -- I think it's obvious it's aimed at the prison population (who ironically don't typically have money nor access to music), Garage, Inc. (close, I think Garbage included would have been more precise). Sorry, guys. I liked your earlier work.
Scorpions -- painful as it is, made many hairband ballads. I heard one in Walgreens. After about 10 months, they'll get a dime for this one-time play. Ironically, Klaus Meine (German) spoke better English than Kid Rock.

The Anthrax scare was after 9/11/01, it was originally thought to be another wave of terrorism. I thought it was particularly funny when one reporter completely misconstued the answer from the band when asked, quiet serious, during the anthrax scare about their choice of band name, whichever band member answered quoted Monty Python (unbeknowst to the interviewer). The bandmember said "it's not a very good name, is it?" (referring to castle anthrax from the holy grail movie) and the reported printed it paraphrased "Anthrax agrees their name probably wasn't such a good choice." The readers got it, the reporter didn't. Another example of just how low-brow the press can be.
Oh, and Pam Anderson is hotHOTHOT. Real or not. And did you see her in her honeymoon video? She's even got it going on downstairs.
(dice roll)
Nope, I was right. She's not attractive. P A is just ... not attractive.
