In other news, Anthrax have recruited Shadows Fall guitarist Jon Donais to fill in on for the departed Rob Caggiano on the tour dates coming up in India, Australia and North America.<\/p>\n

\n

“Jon is a bro and he’s also a total f**king ripper,” said Scott Ian. \u00a0“I’ve worked with him twice\u00a0before on side projects and he tears it up. \u00a0I’m excited to have him on my right burning up the stage with Anthrax. \u00a013’s gonna be a good year.”<\/p>\n

“I grew up on Anthrax, they’re the thrash scene, they’re one of The Big Four, I’d be crazy to not want to play with them,” said Donais. \u00a0“Initially, Rob called and told me he was leaving the band, and asked if I’d be interested in filling in. \u00a0Then Scott called me and everything fell into place. \u00a0Rob and I are using Skype to work on solos and other guitar parts, so he’s being great. \u00a0I also have to give special thanks to my band – Brian, Matt, Jason and Ed – who have been incredibly supportive and encouraged me to do this.”<\/p>\n
