Public Enemy’s Chuck D reunited with Anthrax last year to perform the genre-smashing rendition of “Bring the Noise” they released together in 1991. The hip-hop artist’s appearance was part of Anthrax’s 40th-anniversary livestream, which was broadcast from a Los Angeles soundstage last July. The whole celebration is available now as Anthrax XL on Blu-ray, CD, and digitally.
Chuck bounces around the stage as he raps his verses, and guitarist Scott Ian and bassist Frank Bello shout Flavor Flav’s parts. The aerobic performance ends just like it did on the collaboration’s 1991 single, with Chuck D toasting drummer Charlie Benante, saying, “Hear the drummer get wicked.”
“Happy 40th to the greatest,” Chuck D says at the end of the video. “Nothing tops the feeling, every once in a while, I get invited by the band to come out and do ‘Bring the Noise.’ Nothing tops the joy.”
