Anthrax Perform Acoustic Cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb”
Back in September 2016, Anthrax singer Joey Belladonna joined Slayer’s Tom Araya, Gary Holt and Paul Bostaph for a run-through of Bryan Adams’ 1984 hit, “Summer of ’69” during a soundcheck at Métropolis in Montreal, Quebec.
The following day, Anthrax performed an acoustic cover of the Pink Floyd classic “Comfortably Numb” during an appearance on the Opie with Jim Norton talk show. Their appearance also included a performance of their own “Breathing Lightning,” from their 2016 album, For All Kings.
You can watch that performance below.
This summer, Anthrax will join Slayer, Lamb of God and Testament on Slayer's farewell tour. You can check out the dates for that below.
