The album was released in June 1991 by Megaforce Worldwide/Island Entertainment. The `B`s` in the album`s title refers to b-sides previously unreleased and compiled for a single release. In 1992 the album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Metal Performance. Album information Though a collection of `B-sides`, the album featured one of their biggest singles; a collaboration/cover of 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 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`. The compilation also includes covers of songs by Discharge, Kiss, Trust, and the surf rock staple `Pipeline`, recorded by The Chantays. The song `N.F.B. (Dallabnikufesin)` was intended to illustrate the band`s disdain for 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`), although Joey Belladonna and Dan Spitz had collaborated with Untouchable Force Organization on a song called `Lethal` in 1987 that was released as a single[citation needed]. `Bring the Noise` has been a live staple since Anthrax first played it on the Headbangers Ball Tour with Helloween and Exodus in 1989,[6] and it later appeared in the videogames Tony Hawk`s Pro Skater 2 and WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw.
