JOHN BUSH: My Time With ANTHRAX Is 'Over' - Sep. 25, 2005 - Page 2

prime666 · September 25th, 2005, 09:36 AM

I think this sucks. Both Joey and John are both class acts in my book. It would have been nice to see them both share the stage. I can't blame John for not wanting to do this tour and I shure as hell don't blame Joey for wanting to stay. I just hope that we see Bush back in some form or another. Either with saint or perhaps a new band with Rob.. ( I support the new band theory).... This sucks. Excuse me I need a Guinness.

yeah but hopefully we will hear songs like Horror of it all, one man stands, imittaion of life, skeletons, stand or fall live. Now that is not sad lol!!! I see no reason why joey could not sing safe home or only. might need to alter the tunings but he is a great singer and would do an amazing job of them

In My World · September 25th, 2005, 09:50 AM

I wish Bush took part. As amazing as this reunion has been, I think it would have been even more so to see two sets - one with Belladonna, one with Bush. Everyone here is picking sides; I enjoy both line ups, but have to admit, a new record with Belladonna would be cooler than one with Bush (IMHO). Still sucks for Bush, and I do feel for the guy. Can't be an easy time for him.

I was always partial to Only, WCFYA, Refuse to be denied, and Catharsis.

this is going to be a huge thread...

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon · September 25th, 2005, 10:27 AM

It's not surprising but it still fucking sucks. A huge step backwards for one of the most innovative bands ever.

Frankieebotz · September 25th, 2005, 10:46 AM

THIS FUCKING BLOWS!!!!!!!

darkoratt · September 25th, 2005, 11:24 AM

As much as I love J.B. and the albums he took part in with 'Thrax, I still feel it is for the best on both sides.

Agreed completely.

Arg_Hamster · September 25th, 2005, 11:27 AM

I´ll probably come of as a cynical bastard (but that´s what I am), Blabberdork will go apeshit over this for a couple of days and around Thursday Mr. Wu will break the news... "The REAL AnthraX is back, Bush is out. Don´t belive rumours and so on".

Arg_Hamster · September 25th, 2005, 11:43 AM

By the way, wonder if Joey will be part of the writing proccess this time?

Powerslave214 · September 25th, 2005, 11:46 AM

I haven't visisted these boards in awhile, but I hope Scott and Charlie say something definitive about this soon.
If Bush does end up leaving permanently, this sucks ass through a rusty straw.

eighteeschick · September 25th, 2005, 11:49 AM

I had never heard of Blabbermouth until I registered here so I'm not sure of their accuracy. Does anyone know how often their stories have been wrong? Better question, since this relates to the Revolver magazine issue, is that really what it says in the magazine article? Among_the_dead (think that's who it was) didn't actually say that John Bush was out when he was talking about the article, just that there were Reunion Blues.

ThinkAboutYourEnd · September 25th, 2005, 12:08 PM

Fuck, I never got to see Anthrax with Bush, which totally sucks, he was the man and is definitely my favorite vocalist of the 2, this is a very black Sunday in my eyes.

S.O.D · September 25th, 2005, 01:01 PM

If that rumor is true – It’s a very big shame – and it’s not fair – Bush is definitely the better Man on the Micro !!!!!

abrasiverock · September 25th, 2005, 01:41 PM

I love both singers and I hope John can bring himself to tour with the reunion line up. Being able to watch both singers go back and forth would simply rule! I would pay double for that if that is what it takes.

Mr. Wu · September 25th, 2005, 01:41 PM

Nothing has changed because of an interview that we all participated in 4 months ago. What it doesn't say is that without this reunion tour, the band is over. No new record, nothing. It would've been impossible for us to continue as Anthrax. This tour is a bridge to the future of this band. Don't bother speculating on it. It's all going to come down to the music. We'll start writing and see where it takes us just like we've always done.

nafnikufesin · September 25th, 2005, 02:09 PM

1. Once again, we hear band news first on Blabbermouth, not on the site. Glad I saved my money by not joining the CDC.
2. Mr. Wu: "What it doesn't say is that without this reunion tour, the band is over. No new record, nothing. It would've been impossible for us to continue as Anthrax." Is it just me, or does this statement confirm the original theory that it was all about the $$$?
3. mrthrax: "he coulda been apart of something so special ,he chose to not take part" Let's say your girlfriend/wife says "I'm going to fuck my old boyfriend for a while, you're welcome to join me in a threesome, or maybe somewhere down the line we can hook up again" Would you stick around?
4. spacebeer: "And to all Bush fans, don't blame Joey he has nothing to do with it..." I'm not sure anyone ever blamed Joey.
5. RBC: Now there's a club I'll join

6. I always thought Billy Milano was an obnoxious asshole who was blowing hot air about how Scott and Charlie treated him. Now I wonder if he wasn't right on the money all along...
7.

RIP to the band that created my favorite 3 albums of the 90's.
8. John, where and when you do resurface, let me know and I'll be there.

What that reply doesn't say is why Anthrax would have been over.

Actually, this is a good question. Can anyone confirm that the article actually said that? Or is Blabbermouth taking things out of context?

So Anthrax wouldn't have been able to continue without the reunion tour? What does that mean? That all the momentum built up from WCFYA, MOMD, 2 Evils, was for nothing?
I think this all sucks for John, Rob, AND Joey, and Dan; "we'll call you when we need you"

Mr. Wu · September 25th, 2005, 02:30 PM

We have no control over Revolver magazine. This is the first we've heard of it as well. Maybe I should subsribe so we can post the info first.
Not being able to continue relates to us not flushing another two years of our lives down the toilet. That's all I can say.

Why the FUCK would we ever wanna hear "Safe home" again.....pff that was the definitive worst song they ever made IMO!

Mr. Wu · September 25th, 2005, 02:32 PM

And this is why we are going to have chats in the CDC.

karrokid · September 25th, 2005, 02:40 PM

in reply to nafnikufesin :

so your saying the band should have just broke up ? maybe the people who have been in the band from day one don't want to see their dream die if it dosn't have to just to apease fans of the bush stuff (i am one also). it also says don't speculate.
blabbercock is a gossip fest and people eat that shit up. you get a couple quotes from an interview and that seals the deal ? who knows when that interview was done or in what context those quotes were made.
and billy milano is a bag of hot air. he likes to get a rise out of people by talking shit so i don't know if i'd go jumping on his band wagon yet.
people always yell "sell out" at musicians but, they go to their crappy jobs all week and do what their bosses tell them to do and work overtime when they maybe had plans that night. that's selling out to. in a weaker form because a musician is living his dream of making music no matter what they have to do. the guy at the "9 to 5 for life" has abandoned his dreams a long time ago. i went for a year and a half on generic canned food and hand outs. i was sleeping on couches and floors but i wasn't punchin a clock. it's hard not knowing when your next 20 dollars is coming. at the end of the day it's what sells to the guys in charge, so sell out is not a bad term. you either need to move product or move out of the way. sorry but , that's the way the world of music really goes.

mr wu as silly as it may sound to you i'd give my left nut to be in your position. you guys have had a hell of a carrer so far and i hope thrax comes back strong when it's all said and done
