John Bush Does Anthrax

[DaveG]

I'd love to see Bush in action in Europe.

Joey Tempest might have a problem with that.

[Floss]

Hope this makes it to Europe, cracking singer and and I love all those Bushthrax albums, some better than others yep but some crackers....

[Sworntothecans]

The production on SOWN always annoys me. Jerden doing Dirt (and I think he did an Armoured Saint record) probably pointed them towards hiring him for a new sound but it doesn't suit them despite the songs being great.

[Pagan Saviour]

Well this looked fucking great

What a setlist. Hopefully they'll venture beyond the handful of dates, give me this over Anthrax playing Indians and Got the Time every night.

[Bürggermeister]

I'd buy a ticket for sure. Deadly set.

[Snare]

Nice one Pagan Saviour. You got your Potter's Field and Only, plus Black Lodge, all in the set list of 16 tracks, I'm sold 👌

Your link took me to this condensed version witha better view and sound:

[Pagan Saviour]

Sweet! Sound is much better on that one

Genuinely delighted for him. Such great stuff that Anthrax would never in a million years play. Really hope this could land at least in the UK/Europe


I seen Anthrax played the other night in Indonesia - how stale is this setlist in comparison, they make zero effort.

A.I.R.
Got the Time
Caught in a Mosh
Madhouse
Metal Thrashing Mad
Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't
Breathing Lightning
Keep It in the Family
Be All, End All
Medusa
I Am the Law
I'm the Man
Antisocial
Indians

And they'll have a new record out next year and Joey will still have them stuck to that set. There was a comment from some tech a while ago on reddit where any mention from Scott & Charlie to change the set causes ructions from Joey so they don't bother. 

[Snare]

That's mental. They're only shooting themselves in the foot at this stage. Grow a pair lads.

"So yeah we're touring again - and we want you to pay to watch the exact same show again" 

[Trev]

Exactly, think I've seen them over here three or four times now between headline shows and support, absolutely zero interest in watching them again

[Pagan Saviour]

Well believe it. He's been a complete baby about doing any of the Bush stuff. Other singers have no prob doing it, Dickinson doing Blaze or Dianno stuff for example. Vincent doing Tucker era stuff.

Anyone that seen the Big 4 behind the scenes stuff will remember when he was asked to get up and jam Am I Evil, his response was nuts, he'd "Too Much Material" to learn and couldn't have possibly factored in another song. Sure then you see two weeks later he's off doing his Journey cover band thing playing 15-20 songs a night.

Still though, must be boring for Anthrax playing this stuff over and over. I'd personally never go see them again, I caught them because they were on the bill at the last Slayer show here, they played well but awful setlist. 7 songs, two of which were covers Trust and Got the Time? Give it a rest lads.

Hpe Bush goes on tour with that. Love most of his 'thrax albums.

It'd be a better draw than Armored Saint/Category7 in terms of sales.

[The Great Cull]

They'd fuck Joey out and go back go Bush in a heartbeat I'd say. Remember they did approach Bush along the way when he filled in at Sonisphere years back and he told them no and fair fuckin balls to him for doing that. Apparently Benante had a meltdown when Bush wouldn't stay.
