Jon Donais (Anthrax & Shadows Fall guitarist)

Episode 119- Jon Donais! Jon is the current guitarist of Anthrax, but also played with Shadows Fall for many years. He has a new band as well, called Living Wreckage that will be releasing new music soon.  It was a lot of fun talking to him about music. We covered everything from Metallica and Skid Row to Pantera and Five Finger Death Punch. Plus I get his thoughts on cancel culture, award shows, and much more!00:00 - Intro01:10 - Donais Last Name 01:43 - Fan Of The Show & 80s Metal 03:32 - Learning Power Chords & Tablature07:50 - Melodic Shredders 08:47 - Aftershock09:35 - Singer of Shadows Fall & Dreadlocks 10:53 - Playing OzzFest12:30 - Touring with Dimebag & Vinnie from Pantera 16:17 - Touring with Slipknot & Lamb of God17:15 - Atlantic Records & Elektra Merger 20:42 - Five Finger Death Punch21:42 - Korn & Rob Zombie on Mayhem Tour 23:18 - Joining Anthrax 26:00 - First Show with Anthrax 28:00 - Tour with Iron Maiden 29:18 - Seth Meyers Show & Robert DeNiro 30:31 - New Anthrax Album 31:45 - Old Anthrax Albums & Songs 32:45 - Startin' Up a Posse, Censorship & Anthrax Cancellation? 35:15 - Living Wreckage - Arena Rock Meets Thrash 40:15 - Anthrax & Shadows Fall Fans42:17 - Sebastian Bach & Skid Row 44:05 - Wrestlers 45:16 - Bands Jon Hasn't Met Yet46:16 - Grammies, Award Shows & Rock Music 48:15 - Music Accessibility Now & Then 51:02 - Pantera 53:55 - Motley Zoo 55:15 - Wrap UpAnthrax Website:https://www.anthrax.comJon Donais Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jonathanmdonais/Motley Zoo Website:https://www.motleyzooanimalrescue.orgChuck Shute Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/chuck_shute/Support the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!
