Scott Ian with his weapon of choice. |
With over 30 years in the business, its no wonder legendary
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian is looking to shed some of the multitudes of items
he’s collected and stored over the years! There’s only so much storage space a
man can have.
So when the time came to part with some of his collection, of
course we were more than happy to meet up with Scott and sift through over 3
decades worth of unimaginable Anthrax goodies - from vintage passes, tour
itineraries, posters and clothing to notable guitars, amps and pedals - hands
down, some of the coolest, rarest and most personal stuff we’ve ever come across in a long time!
With over 180+ lots from Scott’s personal collection, here are a handful of
items we feel any fan of Anthrax and Scott will freak out over!
Horns Up.....Get ready to take a ride down this historical heavy metal highway!
SCOTT IAN 1987 FAMOUS YELLOW "NOT" SHORTS
These infamous yellow “Not” shorts were worn extensively by
Scott Ian in the late 1980s on various tours, on various continents! Arguably
one of Scott's most recognized pieces of clothing from Anthrax's most colorful
days, these shorts have been photographed and videoed hundreds, probably
thousands of times! As one can expect, they are well worn but miraculously
undamaged!
