I always thought Joey's style sounded too 80s and dated even his look is so 80s with his mullet and fanny pack/ tight Jean thing and the bush Era sounded more professional with less comedic lyrics
My wife and I had the acoustic version of "Safe Home" played in our wedding ceremony by two of my groomsmen...How awesome is that...Anthrax was played at my wedding!! This was a great version...such a great song. Been a fan for over 17 years...this is the best they've ever sounded! Bring Back Bush!
this was john's last show with them. he already left in 2005 when they did the reunion w/ joey but then after that they got Dan Nelson and that didn't work out so they had asked john to sing for the few shows they already had booked. so these lucky people got john for the last time.
They are both different and great it's hard to choose, With Bush they have a deeper and almost sadder feel, With Belladonna they have a more upbeat and energetic feel.
I'm proud to say i sat in my wheelchair and sang my heart out to this and many others that day. And i took my hat off and got a sunburned scalp too, but it was worth it so much. And Anthrax are playing Sonishpere again this year and i have my ticket already. I hope so much John is back to blow us away again.
(Still is, for the record. Armored Saint’s _Punching the Sky_ from a few years back and this year’s self-titled Category 7 album both KICK. ASS. A lot of that is down to J-Bush.)
I remember this. I was dead happy that Bush had returned after the first reunion with Belladonna and the Dan Nelson thing. And then he left again and bloody Belladonna came back.
Damn I miss Anthrax with John Bush, what a voice! Shame they went back to their old school stuff with Belladonna. Still, at least some old school fans are happy.
Agree that it's one of the most commercial tunes with John Bush, still good though IMO. Check out 'Inside out' (my fave thrax song) 'Born again idiot' or '1000 points of hate' for some metal.
I've met everybody on that stage since 2022 including Rob when he was still with Volbeat, John Bush with Armored Saint, Anthrax, and Keanu Reeves from the video while at a Dogstar show.
especially impressive as John had been out of the band for so long and came back on very short notice to help the guys out. the energy of this performance is deep.
John Bush with little time to prepare as tight as ever.... Seen them 4 times with Belladonna and 4 with Bush.. last time was @ Rock City Nottingham... Its like JB never left , Scott , Charlie, Rob and Frank seemed to have rye smiles on stage @ Sonisphere and rightly so... Anthrax still one of the best live bands around and as a Metal fan for 20 years I have always said this.. There is something special about Anthrax's live gigs so I hope they sort the album out and release tour dates soon
Proud/happy to claim, the final show of this amazing lineup was my home town Perth, Western Australia. Ending with an awesome cover of new noise. Joey rules, but they seem so much more natural with Bush
I've never really a fan of Anthrax until Bush took over but then... WOW. I was lucky to see them live in Hungary with Life of Agony. Belladonna is a great vocalist btw..
John Bush is one of the best rock frontmen OF ALL TIME. The maturity, power, and manliness that he brings to Anthrax gives them the voice they need. Without John, Anthrax are like a chicken with their head cut off. Stomp 442 is probably the single most underrated heavy rock album OF ALL TIME. White Noise and WCFYA are two of the most dynamic post-thrash albums ever. The Bush b-sides Bordello Of Blood, Grunt & Click, and Poison My Eyes put anyone's a-side to shame. They better be paying him well.
Scott and whoever else from Anthrax is willing should get together with John Bush and call the act, "Sound of White Noise," and do all the Bush era songs. Just like Sabbath did with Dio in Heaven and Hell.
John Bush's vox makes Anthrax way better. Iv'e always favored Bush way,way back in the Armoured Saint days. Please, please get back again for a new album and a tour. Western Canada wants THIS!
Truly brilliant, gifted vocalist & certainly one of my favourite bands- ever! Very festive performance- alwayz! Hope John's fronting the band for Australia'z Soundwave festival next Feb- only ever seen 'em with Joey (definitely no complaints) fronting, can't wait....
УЮТНЫЙ ДОМ МОЙ я ходил по этому пути раз или два, прежде, - выйдя сквозь открытую дверь, прихожу, и вваливаюсь.. - там впереди есть знак, будто пункт поворотный, и он мне глаза раскрыл! - чтобы начать всё заново, на пути моём, переродиться вновь! - впервые знаю, что пути, - такие разные, озаряют меня, чтобы увидеть в себе человека лучше, чем есть я! - ...мысленно я много где бывал, и то, что позади - хуже, чем то, что впереди будет ждать! - ...на своём пути, я как в мечте, - это оберегает ото всего того, что не нужно мне!! вдруг откуда ни возьмись, становишься, как камень, твёрд! и не быть теперь никогда мне в одиночестве!! - ...ведь знаю я - каковО оно!!... - ты всегда была для меня хранительницей очага моего! - иду, бегу, и от чувств к тебе сгораю!! - ..ты уютным домом моим была всегда!.. - ...и весь мой мир, вместе со мной - всё в нём!!... знаю - кто я, и кем буду всегда! - действительность твоя такова: стану лучшим из всего, кем могу быть в твоих мечтах я!! страхи мои были мрачными, а стали - светлыми! - стойко сражался я с целым миром, ради тебя одной лишь!! - вера и судьба - то, во что раньше не верил я! нынче же - Любовь - единственный мой Бог!!! - Веру вижу я в тебе, а истина вся в том, что это - самое весомое, что держу в моих руках я! - ...мысленно я много где бывал, и то, что позади - хуже, чем то, что впереди будет ждать! - ...на своём пути, я как в мечте, - это оберегает ото всего того, что не нужно мне!! вдруг откуда ни возьмись, становишься, как камень, твёрд! и не быть теперь никогда мне в одиночестве!! - ...ведь знаю я - каково оно!!... - ты всегда была для меня хранительницей очага моего! - иду, бегу, и от чувств к тебе сгораю!! - ..ты уютным домом моим была всегда!.. - ...и весь мой мир, вместе со мной - всё в нём!!!...
LOVE THIS SONG, UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE MANY PARTS LIKE THE GUITAR SOLO BELONGS TO THE BAND STATUS QUO IN THE INTRO OF THE SONG "BLONDES DON'T LIE", :(
Two and a half years ago (we also had Dream Theater "I Walk Beside You" as our intro music to the reception. Once again...awesome!) Yeah...there's video..I should post it.
Fuck that. The only Anthrax soul is Frank Bello. You don't always hear what he plays, but when he's not, something is missing. And he's fucking awesome.
It cusks that John got sick so they couldn't attend Sonisphere in Hultsfred, Sweden. I was there with some friends mostly to see Mastodon and Metallica, but of course we had looked forward to seeing most of the other bands aswell. All the bands were awesome except for Dead By April, typical that they had to add a typical emo band to the list, but all in all it was an amazing tour. The last time I had so much fun was at Unholy alliance tour in Denmark like 6-7 years ago.
Todo mundo falando do Bush mas exalto a falta que sinto também do Caggiano... Guitarrista fenomenal e combina muito com a vibe do Anthrax! Sorte do Volbeat em tê-lo na banda!
