John Bush = new voice of Burger King

Deege · November 16th, 2006, 10:10 PM

If you have missed the voice of ARMORED SAINT/ex-ANTHRAX singer John Bush, start listening for John Bush voiceover on Burger King TV commercials, which should start airing for the holiday season. The first spot is for a Burger King credit card stocking stuffer, while the second spot is in conjunction with Xbox.

I bet they pay him more than he made in Anthrax (and that's not a dig at Anthrax either).

I still hope to hear him with 'Thrax again, though.

Hell yeah !! I have a reason to watch TV now.

Isn't this John??

TripJ. · November 16th, 2006, 10:51 PM

Oh God, No....

no, no, no.....

Rozy157 · November 16th, 2006, 11:40 PM

Good for him. All the movie stars do it now too. Easy cash baby.

jdelpi · November 17th, 2006, 12:24 AM

I may start eating at Burger King now.

You've gotta be fuckin kidding.....

That's........retarded.

Deege · November 17th, 2006, 03:15 AM

That's not retarded. Tons of people do it. Henry Rollins has done voiceovers for years. And so has Dee Snider (though I don't like his music). As a matter of fact, I bet Dee earned all of his riches that he pissed away in the early '90s back by doing TV work and voiceovers. It's a smart thing to do if you have a recognizeable or unique voice. I bet John may make more money doing these commercials now than he he ever did in the same amount of time in his music career (though he deserved to make more for his music of course).

Do you have any idea how much voiceovers pay???

Arg_Hamster · November 17th, 2006, 04:58 AM

I wish I had a voice like John, I´d be out talking to ladies all night (and make some cash doing voiceovers).

j_landen · November 17th, 2006, 05:11 AM

Burger King Rules!

They need him to do a metal version of Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't fuckin upset us.

Gibba · November 17th, 2006, 05:36 AM

Paul Stanley did a Folgers one and also for Ford I believe. Easy cash if you don't mind doing it.

jackfromczech · November 17th, 2006, 06:23 AM

It seems John decided to make money another way. Music is for him something like a part-time job now. Sometimes things aren't what they seem. An upcoming update of the news section on the official site might tell more soon...

tommyv · November 17th, 2006, 07:12 AM

I just read this on Blabbermouth!
I really have no response to this right now?

Does this mean Burger King is gonna change there tag line to "Can U Deliver"?

out,

Metal Thrashing Mark · November 17th, 2006, 07:15 AM

Commercials is where the $$$$$ is. I hope John does not do what what's his face

from Hootie & the blowfish

did. But it's only a voice over not a video.

lokey · November 17th, 2006, 07:43 AM

man after 20 odd years of working his tits off in the music biz and still having to pay the bills, i am way pleased john has got some work doing other stuff....... i bet he doesnt get paid as well for it as you guys think tho,..... theres a reason BK will have picked someone to voice it that 95% of the country wont have heard of....

fair play bush, that guys so awesome, he deserves so much more........

Catharsis70 · November 17th, 2006, 09:04 AM

walk in..... read some stuff......get paid.... Who wouldnt want to do that?

Kind of reminds me of when Krusty did that on the Simpsons for a toy he was releasing.

nafnikufesin · November 17th, 2006, 12:45 PM

Just voice work, or will he be singing?

Potential song titles/lyrics:
Burger Kingsize
Room For One More Whopper
604 : "Can't stop eating, can't stop eating, can't stop eating Burger King"

Funnily enough, I read a few months back that Burger King really was considering starting a delivery service like pizza places already do (not kidding, either). It's perfect!

CesspoolOfSkulls · November 17th, 2006, 01:13 PM

sad... oh so sad...

lmmfao

MyHatred · November 17th, 2006, 01:23 PM

Yeah, making money is a pretty sad thing

At least he is just doing voice over work, whereas you have to actually punch in and flip the burgers, Cesspool.

Mickenglanduk · November 17th, 2006, 02:08 PM

I don't blame him for doing it, he has bills to pay like most people. It would have been better if he had done an ad for KFC mind you.
