Anthrax - A Skeleton In The Closet Lyrics
All American, an evil game of extortion
A sick old man, and who would guess
He was once S.S.
A deadly fascination, of a madman's solution
Six million dead, poison tales pollute his head
[PRE-CHORUS:]
Tell me a story - Will ya, Will ya
A real good story, I won't leave till ya
Spill your guts old man
Leave out any secrets, Hiding in the ...
[CHORUS:]
Any skeletons, and all your other sins
Any skeletons in the closet
Any skeletons, any misfortunes
Any skeletons, Any skeletons
In the closet
It's insanity, puppetmaster boy or Nazi
Apt pupil, he hears the screams
Nightmares turn into wet dreams
Hatret lives, boiling inside, dealing death it's bumicide
In too deep, their secret stands but it won't keep
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[LEAD BREAK]
[FUN PICKIN' PART]
The truth comes out, conspiracy there is no doubt
His life is ruined, but no not yet
He's still got one card in the deck
A loaded gun, a happy smile, he'll scope the freeway for awhile
King of the world, four hundred rounds it took five hours to bring him down
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

Anthrax A Skeleton In The Closet Comments
Wuajajajajajajajajajaja.., y le pasaron un ladrillo Santa Helena o Clos al Belladona?????????
Drummer is a beast
Slow old man version.
Havr you noticed that this is the best most proffesional and tight band out of the big four? Just for that the deserve I indeed for they got. They are metal royalty
Gotta be the best overall rhythm section in thrash. Charlie is sharp as always, that coffee must be something.
Went to see them at Sheffield England in 2006 in a tiny venue called the Corporation, my mate said he wished they would play it cos they never do. It was the next song and it was amazing.A great live band and Dan Spitz was superb, I never knew just how good Dan was.
Only 1.4million views should have way more than that
Someone should make a whole album based on Stephen King's stories
Das Stück ist DER HAMMER.
con caja e vino incluida .......jjjjaaaa....vamos metal chileno y la conchetumreeeeeeeeeeee
I actually like the way this song sounds tuned down better than standard. Fits it better.
Wowwwwww 😬 FUCKING GREAT 🤘
Anthrax in Chile !!!
The main riff sounds like bones : )
Anthrax’s new music is impressive also. Miss Dan Spitz though
Some riffs sounds like raining blood?
Loved the ending from S.o.D.
Charlie is the Best Thrash Drummer ever...
Anthrax only gets better with age. New stuff kicks ass!! SOD baby!!
The Intro was like phantom lord
Great voice and band keep it rocking!!!!
Finally coming to Malaysia on 2020 🔥🔥🇲🇾🇲🇾
Le pasan una caja de vino a Belladona jajajajajajaja
What a great song!!! been awhile
Epitome of what a pure "Thrash" band is supposed to be. Lol, the lack of response from the crowd when the song was announced doesn't surprise me...most of em weren't even born yet when it came out lol (but, that's a good thing...70's and 80's Metal rips and deserves the "re-surgence" of attention).
Who's the second guitarist?
Lead? Jonathan Donais (he entered after rob caggiano left the band)
Rythm? Scott Ian
QUINTO4713 - thanks. I knew it had to be either him or Dan Spitz.
@XXthekingofyouXX you're welcome :')
Live Chile 2013
Taco, The house next to Jimmy Buffet,,, Clear it out, Hostage Control?
Thank You for getting the kid (with a sick obsession the stalking antop of everything else was more that I could handle) off my ass
Geil !!
Iowa is the heaviest album on earth
Saw Thrax open for Maiden in about '95 or so in Upstate NY...
.no Prayet for the Dying tour... heavy fuckin metal!!
A skeleton in the closet.
A monster under the bed.
Nightmares in my head.
Thrash till you're dead.
When ppl age some age in perfect way and heres a mosh metal band become truly immortal!!
This Video Fucking Rocks!!!
Joey is so badass.
Goodbye 1000 times goodbye!
Fuckin’ Anthrax!!!!👍🏻🇺🇸😎
Сибирская язва бля!!!
Fuck! This is tight! Thank you Anthrax!
Schizophonic-The Wildhearts に似てない?
Gotta throw in Chuck Biscuits-Danzig drummr
\m/
That’s the tone right there
Aunque actualmente no esté en la banda, John Bush es el vocalista de Anthrax...Belladdona solo es el tío mayor que cobró su retiro mensual y pasa de visita...aveces creo que Scott Ian es muy cabezadura...debería reconocer el error de aceptar que Belladona esté " visitando" nuevamente Anthrax y dar el paso inicial de avisar a John Bush que vuelva a casa, que la mesa está servida. Diego Nuñez de Ciudad de Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina 7/4/19
I’ve always loved this song!!! Sounds just as good as it did the day it was recorded .This band still rocks!!! Heavy metal ,speed metal ,thrash ,Rock ‘n’ roll whatever you call it just call it ANTHRAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NANEJO CTM QUE WEA??? PUTA AMIGAZO DONDE ESTÁS???? =/
I went to an estate sale at doctor's house and in a room that said off limits so I had to go in there and along with a degas painting there was skeletons in the closet in paper bags true story yes I got the painting but my friend Greg fuckd me out of it
Benante is a beast!
This song is such a thrash assault. Absolute face-melter \m/ \m/
Me too, I'm 50 and... Anthrax i've seen several times in different decades here in Xpain or Madrid....and since ive seen first time in Monsters of Rock Madrid with Belladonna... always in Max Attitude...for me...the King of the Kings of all metal bands. I was a kid but was my best, first and happy broken nose in the pit in my fuckin life, very pleasure... better than the mma gym😄🤘🏻. I remember that years ...and run fire into my arteries rightnow. They are the Adrenaline Kings, nothin more to say. I hope to Die Moshing or HBanging, serious. Hail all comrades thrashers with our connected energy flow! Fuck yeah
i love that john joined this band, and bittner plays for overkill now. hmmm, shadows fall is slowly infiltrating old school thrash metal
The best band in the world 🤟👍
This shit never, ever gets old 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Really miss this era of rock/metal/thrash 🙁
Absolutely mega awesome
Chuck D sent me
Just one f*cking face-ripper of a cut...to this day, I still hurt my neck listening to this just as I did in the mid-eighties when it came out. Nasty stuff... just f*cking nasty stuff...This is what Thrash with a little "East Coast Punk" flavor is supposed to sound like. Luv it
Charlie is my hero since81 he puts so much feels into is fills ear him very closely surprised you will be very very underated drummer Charlie you are the best of the best and i really love Scotty ( not) Ian awesome riff after all Anthrax is a awesome band from Quebec city 🇨🇦we love you 🥁🥁👏👏
get john bush back.
An THRASH Fucking ayyyy ; )
Charlie is a fucking monster!
Indeed he is , I have to laugh at his coffee videos though !
5:05 Best breakdown ever
GREAT SONG!
THIS is how to play live, with energy. With a drummer you can set your metronome to, and not rushing through the song but pick every note....Anthrax understands that playing slower means more enrgy. - this is the Opposite of what metallica is doing. And THIS is so much better.
terrible...
March of the St D at the end is glorious...
Anyway, here what it means "skeletons in the closet"...
Secrets and several other past memories that you prefer not to talk about with anyone else. This can range from one-night stands to betraying a best friend to as much as killing someone. However, "skeletal" moments don't just have to do with only dark pasts. It can also be about embarrassing moments you've had that you simply feel too awful to speak of.
Someone with barely any or no skeletons in the closet can make it far in a large corporation
song from my high school, missed that time very mvch
WTF. Frank's high notes are barely audible.
Painful to watch. Horrible digression with age. Hang it up, oldtimerzzz
I cant remember if I got into Thrax first or Steven King, But they both fueled my interest in the other.
Музыка - зачёт, вокал - гавно.
Viva Chile conshetumare!!
just one word.. Power! just like the old days. 😉
That drops but not into band but nice bit seems airon maiden
Conchetumare!!!!!
This song is based on Apt Pupil by Stephen King
2Spooky4me.
This song kicks serious ass!!!!!!!
Rolota!!!!!
Man, Joey's voice is on its last bits of range
Wings-Jerangkung Dalam Almari
Charlie Benente. Master of the blast beat.
Unbelievable period. Soooo fucking awesome.
Awesome intro 🔥🔥🤘🤘
This is still one of the heaviest songs in existence
8.1M!!!!!!!
Benante is a fuckin' beast \m/
Joey’s voice is oddly similar to Bruce Dickinson at this point - and that’s not a complaint! (Old Bruce is still the gold standard IMHO)
2018 still kick ass!!!
My old skool metal Judas Priest uncle told me about this song back in the days
Killer riffs! This song is amazing!
FUK YOU ANTHRAX BITCHES! Went to see Anthrax 2 years ago and they played 5 songs halfassed and left withoutout saying shit to us fans why they were gonna keave, just got their fkn $ and split! No love for the fans that STILL support them after all these years, what a bunch of DUCHEBAG COCKSUCKERS!!!!!!!!! I'll NEVER buy anything from them or support them ever again! The biggest piece of shit band I EVER went to see! Every band Ive seen ( over 100 ) NEVER pulled that pussy shit, not even a local band!
fucking awesome wooooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! love it
