No one plays thrash metal basslines quite like Frank Bello. The Anthrax legend has inspired generations of bassists and fans with his unmistakeable riffs.

In this new On The Record interview, Frank joins us from his New York basement to share how music has been his therapeutic outlet through tragic times — as well as the influence of Kiss, how new Anthrax music is progressing, and how he once pranked Slayer with a giant fish!
