	Musicians - Dan Spitz

Dan Spitz (Born: January 28, 1963) is the current lead guitarist of the heavy metal band Anthrax. He is the brother of former Black Sabbath bassist Dave Spitz.

In the early 90's Spitz was fired from Anthrax, reportedly at least partially for failure to sufficiently contribute to the song writing of the band. In the meantime he opened his own watch repair shop and converted to Christianity.

On April 1, 2005, Anthrax announced an Among The Living reunion, and Spitz was reunited with the band. They embarked on a world tour and released a DVD with footage from those performances.

The band are currently writing new songs for an album to be recorded later this year and released in late 2006/early 2007.

Spitz stands at an incredibly short 5 feet 1 inch. He does not appear to be offended by "short jokes", as his bandmates joke about his small size commonly (his nickname within the band is "Mini-Tower").
