HOUSE PARTY.

there's no party like a relentless wild private house party! especially when you invited the right people. 

the guys from ANTHRAX show how the high life in high tops is lead: kill it at a house party with mega babe kelly bundy! 

this is how the guys from ANTHRAX roll: dan "bite me" spitz rocks the air jordan VJ sports blue, frank bello goes crazy in what seem to be nike air quantum force.

examples? blasting GNR's "you could be mine" from a boombox, hangin' out with a ginger mullet LA GUNS fan, skipping school for  playing some MISSILE COMMAND and AFTER BURNER at the galleria and taking promo shots with a T-800 in black jordan V's. all that being a kid about 10 years old. maximum respect johnny!

AIN'T NO BUSINESS LIKE MONKEY BUSINESS.

what you see here is not only one of the best record covers in the world, it's also one of the best records. for a full review go here.

DANGER DANGER were at their absolute peak in 1991 when they hit japan for an extended tour. 

few people represent the high life like ever happy singer ted poley. you'd always find him rockin' a pair of torn buzz saw acid wash jeans and cut off oversized shirts, variantley playing sega genesis in the tour bus and doing monkey business with a whole queue of hot groupie foxes... and sometimes, he even ditched his hi-class old fashioned cowboy boots for a pair of nice hi-tops.

these guys are taking their monkey business waaaay seriously!
maximum eternal respect to this band.

GOLDCHAINS & TRACKING SUITS.
