To be honest, if I were to listen to this without the info, I probably wouldn't be able to tell that it wasn't John Bush singing. This just sounds like him all over again. I hope now that he's out of the band, they bring back someone more like Joey or Neil Turbin.
There are only two things he does differently: he actually does the middle scream fairly well, which was never Bush's strong point, but he also adds in all these unnecessary growls, which I'm really not a fan of AT ALL.
I agree with the comparisons to Phil Anselmo, and I actually like Anselmo, one of the best metal vocalist in my opinion. But Anthrax will never be the same without Joey, Anthrax is just best with Joey, and no vocalist for Anthrax could ever top him.
Joey was good and to me will always be Anthrax, but he has an ego. (OMG an ego in the world of ROCK!?!?!?!) Wish they all could have held out together longer for the reunion, I never did get another chance to see them all together. Headbanger's Ball tour in da 80's was one of the best concerts..best was actually Kreator and Coroner at Peabody's Downunder.
Can't they all just get along and leave Britney alone! Don't tase Joey, bro!

Zylitol-youre a retard, phil anselmo is one of the best metal vocalist. Joey can't come back he's writing a new album with his boyfriend called "The sound of taking it in the ass". I heard he does a real good job on higher pitched vocals. It's definately gay, you will love it.
this situation isnt much different from exodus's current status with dukes. decent replacement, but will never be the same. joey slays and yes, his highs are great. he's also more successful than you will ever be.
pantera was good and phil is a solid vocalist but in this case, for a song like Madhouse, that's not a good thing.
Im not going to say Dan's better than the other singers, for all of them have their own positives. Joey was an amazing singer, John was a little bit heavier, and made anthrax more like Pantera, Dan is a combination of both, because he can sing cleanly, as you can see in this video. But, unfortunately, until they release new material, they just seem like a cover band right now.
I hate the screaming, there's no talent in that. Joey is as 80s as anyone can be and i thought he was a better vocalist, plus they just look better with Joey especially when they were on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, that was bad ass.
...why is he growling...anthrax doesnt growl...he was doing ok....then he growls
yall are right he has stringer vocals than belladanna but so did bush...and bush sounds better than this guy...he actually sang ill give this guy a chance but he jsut fucked up a classic....
I was hoping they would play some of the new stuff they were working on. I heard they did some at the Chicago Gig. Maybe because they were limited to an opening slot, and Irvine strictly enforces their curfew, they coouldn't play everything. Dan Nelson has a great voice, alot like Bush and Phil Anselmo. I know John, and was dissapointed that they didn't ask him back. I always felt Joey's voice was weak live.
i dont care if this guy sounds like an imersonator he has an awesome sound that you don't hear from most bands and of course he is going to sound some what like bush he is doing anthrax songs but yet he adds his own little thing. i personally like it but everyone is entitled to there own opinion. i will definately be checking out the new album when it comes out!
Oh no shit... now im really mad i missed part of their set... all thanks to the asses running the venue. The show wasnt supposed to start till 8m but it started at 7:30. What else can you expect with Maiden as a headliner. haha.
Totally agree!!! I'm stoked that the thrax have stuck with the formula they had on WCFYA!!! I miss Bush, but Nelson is a more than adequate replacement!!! Looking forward to hearing their new sh*t!!!
Nelson is sounding like a combination between John Bush and Anselmo from Pantera.With the mention that Bush is a better vocalist than him.I'd rather listen to Nelson than Belladonna.Anyway,I'm really curious to hear the new album with Nelson.I think it will come out sometimes in 2009.Good Luck!
I'm glad to see Phil Anselmo is singing again.....seriously...
