In a career spanning three decades, Scott Ian, as the founding member of Anthrax, helped to create the “New Wave of American Heavy Metal” in the mid-80’s alongside Metallica. Three time Grammy nominated, MTV VMA nominees and Multi-Platinum and Gold Awarded music veterans, Anthrax, have sold over 10,000,000 records worldwide including nine studio albums, two live albums, three greatest hits, plus DVD’s. Touring pros, Anthrax has performed on over fifty tours spanning the globe; in thirty-two countries on five continents including Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Asia.
Pushing the envelope in the metal genre to it’s bursting point in 1991, Scott came up with the idea to crossover with rap pioneers Public Enemy and record what was to become the foundation of the Rap/Rock genre that exploded in the nineties. With their hit “Bring The Noise” Anthrax reached new heights kicking open the door for such bands as Rage Against The Machine, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Linkin Park. In 2005 Scott was invited by Chuck D of Public Enemy to perform “Bring The Noise” with them as part of their induction into VH1’s Hip Hop Honors Hall Of Fame.
Continually recording and touring through the nineties and into the new millennium, Anthrax has maintained the kind of career that only a handful of others can lay claim to as well.
Scott is widely known as the face of Anthrax and to his friends as “Laminate Face”, for being a constant and extremely recognizable figure in the worlds of music, fashion, movies and television.
Scott parlayed his success with the band into a television gig with VH1 in 2001 when they asked him to host "Rock Show." During his forty eight episodes as host, Scott interviewed numerous celebrity guests and friends including; Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Halford, Ted Nugent, Stone Temple Pilots, Megadeth, Three Doors Down, Sevendust, Tenacious D, and The Cult. Scott is also a regular commentator on various VH1 shows including the "I Love The 70's, 80's, and 90's" series, "100 Most Metal Moments", "Awesomely Bad Number One Songs", "When Metallica Ruled The World", Metallica’s "Behind The Music", Pantera’s “Behind The Music” and Anthrax’s own “Behind The Music.” Scott was prominently featured in VH1’s "History Of Heavy Metal".
In June of 2006 Scott starred in the VH1 reality series “SuperGroup” with Ted Nugent, Sebastian Bach, Jason Bonham and Evan Seinfeld. The show was a huge success and once again pushed the boundaries of Scott’s career to new heights.
Scott is currently in the studio recording what will be the tenth studio album by Anthrax scheduled for an early summer 2009 release.
Scott is also playing guitar in the group Pearl who just finished two tours with Velvet Revolver and Meat Loaf. The debut album from Pearl will be out in June 2009. DC Comics has just asked Scott to take their iconic character Lobo and write a 2 issue prestige format series for that character due out in the fall of 2009.
Scott also recently signed with Ultimate Bet, the third largest internet gaming site in the world as one of their online professional players. Scott joins poker superstars Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke as one of Ultimate Bets star pro’s.
