John's albums wit Anthrax after Sound of White Noise may not have been good, but I have to agree with TGRT91, Joey belongs with Anthrax, but Joey did way much worse than John did during the mid-90s, I mean Joey's solo work was awful. John belongs more to Armored Saint, but he's also good with Anthrax, not every song on Stomp 442 and Vol. 8 are terrible, you need to give it a chance. No one likes it when there's a new singer, but look at the band that is AC/DC. I still like John Bush.
John Bush is on my top 3 metal singers.He's right there with Ronnie Dio and Halford.He's great!!!What a powerful voice!!!I hate that he's not in Anthrax anymore.For me,the albums that Anthrax made with John on vocals are the best,really great music.Even now,when I'm listening to some of the new Anthrax songs from their new cd Worship Music,I try to imagine how are they going to sound with Bush on vocals.I just hope that one day he will be back with Anthrax.He's the right guy for the job.
Now that I see this interview I sorta feel bad for John Bush :/.... just being forced to experience a re-union tour and being treated like a mere song-writer when it was done...
The first huge mistake Anthrax made was getting rid of Joey. The second big mistake they made was getting rid of Bush. Due to the first two mistakes Joey was the only person who could replace John Bush, who after adjusting to his sound with the band is my favorite vocalist for Anthrax. WCFYA was such an awesome CD I was dying to hear what was next. After hearing Only with Joey I hope I never hear another Bush era song with Belladonna on vocals. The new CD clips I have heard sound badass.
I respect John Bush as a artist, but I don't get how people can think that he has been Anthrax's best singer... Every person with some musical knowledge know's that Joey is a better singer
@shartdartfart Dude you cant sing a song like "Indians" withought Joey. You can't sing any song from say the "Among The Living" era withought Joey. You can't War Dance withought Joey. YOU CAN'T HAVE ANTHRAX WITHOUGHT JOEY!
@seanecw123 for thrash, john isn't that good. but for a heavy metal band, he is great. i think they made better stuff with him (except stomp). neil turbin would be awesome if he stayed for another album
You know I met John at a little dive in the 80's just after Dave passed. He was the same humble whole spirited guy he was then that he is today. God bless ya John. You're character is strong as your talent.
pliska5. You are an IDIOT, there is no comparison between joey belladonna and john bush. John has one of the best metal voices out there and sounded better from day 1 . I have all there CD's except the new 09 release with the new singer who's already compared to bush with nothing at all said to this day about belladonna. No compression. Anthrax fucked up! But the new singer sounds like bush and that's why he was hired.
@tittiblaster dude if bush was good armored saint would still be around....bush sukkkkks he doesnt have nowhere near the range or the chutzpa that joey has thats why hes back .....idiot
I have to disagree. The albums with Belladonna are much better than the albums with Bush.
I will say that Sound of White Noise is great, but Stomp 442 and the albums after are nowhere near as good.
And as far as chart positions on the billboard goes, shit like Justin Beiber goes to number one on the billboards all the time, that does not make it anygood.
Sorry, but I just feel that Joey belong in Anthrax, and John belong in Armored Saint.
John Bush=THE MAN! Anthrax will regret their foolishness. I was glad Belladonna gave them the finger as well. Glad the Saint is back. John is class. Anthrax--sadly--is chasing the almighty dollar, and they will fail. They were great....Bush made them better. A great era: GONE! Go Armored Saint, I will support John in whatever he does....
Best thing that came outta my home town in L.A. was John Bush , back when people were making glam music we had guys like John to keep metal on the map back home .
habla brother q tal? podemos hablar en español por aca supongo. El concierto de Belladonna estuvo de la rcsm no?? fue demasiado genial. Lo que dices es cierto la etapa con Bush no fue thrash metal, sino mas bien mas alternativa, media grunge, pero a mi me gusta tambien, no me desagrada para serte franco, pero obviamente que la epoca thrasher de anthrax fue la mejor. Y yo no diria que Belladonna es "mejor" que Bush, simplemente tienen estilos diferentes.
I also saw Belladonna's concert in Lima-Peru, and let me tell you that he rules!!!...he's a far more better vocalist for Anthrax than Bush. I prefer the Thrash period of Anthrax, and i don´t like the "grunge" period of Bush, that wasn´t thrash metal. Even though, i have to admit that Bush is an excellent front-man, i saw him with Anthrax in Peru in 2005, but Belladonna is a better singer.
To be honest John Bush is my favourite anthrax singer, but Joey Belladona has a great voice too, I just saw him playing in Lima Peru with his solo project "Belladona" and it was just fucking amazing. Joey is singing like the old times again.. I was surprised. But once again, Bush is a great singer too. I was kinda sad when I knew that he isnt coming back to Anthrax.
Joey was canned for a reason, his voice sucked. Bush has a great voice, hell he should be singing for metallica..Hetfield asked him to after the first album and he declined. Fuck anthrax now....
From the interviews I've read it and heard, John Bush really has class and integrity - he could have really put the knife in after the way he was treated but he's better than that.
I really don't think he was truly appreciated until he wasn't in the band anymore though. An excellent vocalist - I hope he goes on to better things because he deserves it.
Bush is brilliant. I don't understand why Anthrax decided to tour with Joey. He too, is a brilliant vocalist, but it was extremely awkward for John Bush.
@tsburn Fuck, he was awesome. Stomp 442 is one of my all time favorites. John's vocals were made for that band. I was so disappointed he didn't rejoin them.
anthrax sin john bush no vale nada.charlie y scott son una panda de peseteros avariciosos de mierda.bush es de lejos,uno de los mejores vocalistas ke hay.john bush is the best and anthrax without him worths nothing
Yeah, it was cringe worthy. Thank fully, it looks like that won't be happening though. Glad to see that Bush showed dignity by not running back to them when they asked him to.
John's albums wit Anthrax after Sound of White Noise may not have been good, but I have to agree with TGRT91, Joey belongs with Anthrax, but Joey did way much worse than John did during the mid-90s, I mean Joey's solo work was awful.
