Editing Attack of the Killer B's (section)

==Album information==
Though a collection of "B-sides", the album featured one of their biggest singles; a collaboration/cover of [[Public Enemy (band)|Public Enemy]]'s "[[Bring the Noise]]". ''Attack of the Killer B's'' was certified gold by the [[RIAA]]. The two live tracks, "Keep It in the Family" and "Belly of the Beast", were recorded during the 1990–91 ''[[Persistence of Time]]'' tour. Also included is an updated version of their 1987 single, "I'm the Man", and three songs previously released only in Europe and Japan on the 1989 [[Extended play|EP]], ''[[Penikufesin]]'' ("Nise Fukin EP"), recorded during the ''[[State of Euphoria]]'' sessions.

Two versions of the album were released: the uncensored version contained full expletives and the song "Startin' Up a Posse", and the censored version which excluded the aforementioned track, and in place of the explicit words, a buzzing noise (like bees) is heard. The track "Startin' Up a Posse" is a tongue in cheek attack on the [[Parents Music Resource Center]]. The sample at the end of the track was taken from the final scene of the [[Marilyn Chambers]] movie [[Insatiable_(film)|"Insatiable"]]. The compilation also includes covers of songs by [[Discharge (band)|Discharge]], [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]], [[Trust (French band)|Trust]], and the [[surf rock]] staple "[[Pipeline (instrumental)|Pipeline]]", recorded by [[The Chantays]].

The song "N.F.B. (Dallabnikufesin)" was intended to illustrate the band's disdain for [[Power ballad#Power ballads|power ballads]], which were very fashionable in the commercial metal scene at the time, and parodies 80s [[glam metal]] power ballads. The band also covers two songs ("Milk (Ode to Billy)" and "Chromatic Death") originally recorded by [[Stormtroopers of Death]], a mid-80s side project by Anthrax members [[Scott Ian]], [[Charlie Benante]], and then-bassist [[Dan Lilker]]. The "Billy" referenced in the title is S.O.D. vocalist [[Billy Milano]].

"Bring the Noise" is a collaboration with rap group Public Enemy, making this song one of the first [[rap metal]] collaborations (albeit some years after the [[Aerosmith]]/[[Run DMC]] 1986 collaboration on "[[Walk This Way#Run-DMC/Aerosmith version|Walk This Way]]"), although [[Joey Belladonna]] and [[Dan Spitz]] had collaborated with [[UTFO|Untouchable Force Organization]] on a song called "Lethal" in 1987 that was released as a single{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}. "Bring the Noise" has been a live staple since Anthrax first played it on the [[Headbangers Ball Tour]] with [[Helloween]] and [[Exodus (band)|Exodus]] in 1989,<ref>{{cite news|title=Bring the Noise by Anthrax Concert Statistics|website=setlist.fm|url=https://www.setlist.fm/stats/songs/public-enemy-63d686a3.html?artist=7bd68e98&song=Bring+the+Noise|access-date=August 24, 2018}}</ref> and it later appeared in the videogames ''[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2]]'' and ''[[WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw]]''.
