Belladonna recalls his audition for Anthrax “I hit the mic and belted out some Journey,” he said. “I think it was ‘Lights.’ I didn’t know what the hell I was getting into in the first place. I just wanted to lay some vocals or something. Just to kinda give an idea and that’s what happened. It wasn’t really anything more than that. I just kinda belched it out.”
Anthrax’s 2013 EP entitled ‘Anthems’ EP included a cover of Journey’s “Keep on Runnin” the EP also had great covers of Rush, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Boston and Cheap Trick.
