(7/24/00, 4 p.m. ET) - Anthrax has been pulled from the Maximum Rock 2000 tour, which is headlined by Motley Crue and also features Megadeth.

Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx explained, "Anthrax is off the bill. It saddens us because they were the band that really lit a spark in our ass every night. The biggest complaint is that we haven't been playing long enough for our fans -- and it's our tour. So we want to add five or six more tunes, plus it gives Megadeth some more time, too. There just wasn't enough time. I'll miss them. They are amazing." Tuesday (July 25) the Maximum Rock tour hits the Blockbuster Pavilion in Charlotte, North Carolina.
