Bring The Noise

In 1991, Public Enemy recorded a new version of "Bring the Noise" in a collaboration with the thrash metal band Anthrax. Chuck D has stated that upon the initial request of Anthrax, he "didn't take them wholehearted seriously", but after the collaboration was done, "it made too much sense". It was included on the Anthrax album Attack of the Killer B's and on Public Enemy's own Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black, and was followed by a joint tour by the two bands, with shows escalating in a dual performance of the song at the very end of the set. Chuck D went on to say that shows on the tour were "some of the hardest" they ever experienced, but when the two bands joined on stage for "Bring the Noise", "it was shrapnel". As one of the first and most admired rap metal songs, the Anthrax version of "Bring the Noise" is considered highly influential. It attempted to bridge the gap between hip hop and heavy metal and paved the way for other attempts to mix the two genres. It was ranked #12 on VH1's 2006 list of the 40 Greatest Metal Songs and is featured in the video games WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW, WWE Wrestlemania 21 , WWE Day of Reckoning, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x. The title of the Anthrax version is sometimes spelled "Bring tha Noise" or "Bring tha Noize".
