Anthrax<\/a><\/strong> bassist Frank Bello<\/strong> will sit out the band’s upcoming South American tour dates, as well as two U.S. festival shows in May, due to personal reasons. Filling in for Bello will be founding Anthrax<\/a><\/strong> bassist Dan Lilker<\/strong>, who originally split (got fired) with the group way back in 1984.<\/p>\n

“I’m really looking forward to jamming with Anthrax<\/a><\/strong> again,” said Lilker<\/strong>. “When we parted ways back in 1984, they told me to stick around because they might need me in 40 years.”<\/p>\n

Anthrax<\/a><\/strong> added: “We’re all very excited about with playing with Danny<\/strong> again, and we really appreciate his filling in for Frank<\/strong>. It’s been way too long since we played South America, so you don\u2019t want to miss these shows, they\u2019re going to be insane.”<\/p>\n

Bello<\/strong> also issued a statement: “Hey Everybody, I wanted to let all my friends know that I\u2019m sorry that I won’t be coming to play the upcoming Anthrax<\/a><\/strong> dates in Mexico, South America, or the couple of U.S. festival dates in May. Everything\u2019s OK, but for personal reasons, I won’t be able to make those shows. I want to thank my friend Danny Lilker<\/strong> for stepping in for me- he’s gonna rock it! Enjoy the shows , I’m sure they will be great , and I’ll look forward to seeing you all soon!!”<\/p>\n

So what happened with Lilker<\/strong> and Anthrax<\/a><\/strong> back in 1984? According to Lilker<\/strong> in an interview with Talk Louder<\/em> from earlier this year, he and then-vocalist Neil Turbin<\/strong> didn’t exactly get along.<\/p>\n

“I was asked to leave and had no choice. Let’s just say that Neil<\/strong> and I had different definitions of what professional meant. I was more into making sure that the songs were good and well-played and rehearsed. It wasn’t just about what you looked like and how you appeared.<\/p>\n

“We all clashed with Neil<\/strong> a bunch back then. Because, remember, he [left] the band seven months after me. They realized they threw the wrong guy out, but by then it was too late.”<\/p>\n

Lilker<\/strong> continued: “So, it was more like Neil<\/strong> had told the other guys, ‘I’m tired of dealing with Danny<\/strong>; it’s him or me.’ I would bust his balls because he had no sense of humor. And it was easy\u2026<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I wasn’t thrilled when I was thrown out. And Scott<\/strong> [Ian<\/strong>, guitarist] was put very much between a rock and a hard place because I guess Neil<\/strong>‘s pushing to have [me] thrown out and then nobody had done anything. So, Neil<\/strong> took it upon himself to call me up and just throw me out of the band himself.”\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
