A Bit Of A Radical Career Change
« on: September 13, 2012, 09:49:52 PM »
Stolen link from the AoS overnight thread.

I'm guessing that IDP knows all about this story. I had no idea. The band in question (Anthrax) is not one that I ever followed or listened to so that explains most of my ignorance. I had heard of the band but that is about the limit of my previous knowledge.


Quote
Dan Spitz, former lead guitarist for thrash metal band Anthrax, has sold more than 15 million albums, been nominated for 3 Grammy’s, created over 10 studio albums – and now he is recognized as one of the best watchmakers in the world. After leading one of the greatest metal bands of all time, he abruptly departed Anthrax and pursued numerous courses of study to master the art of watchmaking.

That's the intro to the article/interview. It's damned interesting.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

For a heavy metal band we rub a different way
We like to be different, not cliche
They say rap and metal can never mix
Well all of them can suck our...

 ;D

That song (I'm the Man) used to be (oh hell it still is  ::evil:: ) one my my guilty pleasures.

Head on straight...

Spitz comes from a Jewish family and converted to Christianity from Messianic Judaism in 2000.[3] and is married to Candi. Their 2007 born twins have autism and therefore the pair supports the organization Autism Speaks because they desire a cure for the twins.

I actually had no idea. As far as I knew he was the guy who used to be in Anthrax.

Stereotypes exist for a damn good reason, but you'd perhaps be surprised at how often they don't apply.

ETA: For instance (1:00 mark if pressed for time, otherwise the entire 2:13 clip is interesting)...

Bruce came this close to making the Olympic Fencing Team from the UK, also.
