Does anyone else think he should be described as just a drummer, especially as it's the opening paragraph? He has played guitar on occasion, for example on Intro To Reality on the Persistence Of Time LP. I'm sure there will be some other tracks he's performed on as well, but I'd prefer to have his guitar playing mentioned in a Trivia section. Any objections?

The lead should describe his "primary" function. He has a decent rep as a guitarist(rhythm) and has done a few recorded guitar parts for both Anthrax and SOD. But it's not what he is noted for. I don't think it's "trivia" though. Wikipedia is leaning away from "trivia" and "in popular culture" sections beacuse they are unencyclopedic and, in many cases, huge sections of uncited fluff. Your choice as to where Charlie's guitar playing should fall but I would suggest adding it into the main article somehow. Cheers! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 20:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
He's also an accomplished songwriter if you look at the album credits from say 2000 on. He was the primary writer on "Volume 8, the Threat is Real" and continues to play a major role in Anthrax's creative process.Intothatdarkness (talk) 20:45, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
