On Wednesday (September 14), ANTHRAX took part in an interview and live performance on the “Opie With Jim Norton” talk show. You can now watch the band’s acoustic renditions of “Breathing Lightning” and PINK FLOYD‘s “Comfortably Numb” below.

With all tickets having sold out in less than a minute for ANTHRAX‘s Saint Vitus Bar show Friday night (September 16), the New York thrash/metal titans announcec that they will play a second show at the venue on Saturday, September 17. Doors are at midnight and ANTHRAX will take the stage at 1 a.m. (Sunday). As with tonight’s concert, proceeds from Saturday’s show will go to benefit Gilda’s Club NYC.

ANTHRAX is confirmed for Saturday’s Revolution Rock Festival in Connecticut and will take the stage at 1:30 p.m. to insure they get to Brooklyn in time for the Saint Vitus show. The band has already begun to kick around ideas for a different set list and other surprises for Saturday’s show.

“With tomorrow night’s show having sold out so quickly, we decided to do a second one to bring more awareness to Gilda’s Club NYC,” said ANTHRAX‘s Scott Ian. “Two shows in one day — it’s going to be amazing, so come on down.”

Gilda’s Club NYC was founded in 1995 in memory of Gilda Radner, the talented comedienne and original cast member of “Saturday Night Live” who passed away in 1989 from cancer. GCNYC‘s mission is to support, educate and empower cancer patients and their families.
