BUSH + 40 BELLADONNA - 1

I'm happy where Anthrax is at this point since i'm more of a Joey fan. Oh, I'm not a Bush hater by the way :-) As far as seeing them live. If it was Joey, i'd want them to do Joey era songs. The same goes if it was Bush on stage,.. I'd want to hear the Bush songs.
I do agree that Joey does not need to learn Bush songs. If I want to hear Bush, i'm fine just listening to SOWN, WCFYA, and so on..
I actually have 2 separate Anthrax playlists on my iPod depending on what mood i'm in.

LOL, they are up there because they are the greatest Rock Band in history :) There will never be any rock band in history that could ever come close to what they achieved.

There are a billion other reasons, but I love posting this


Why is Page the Greatest?

There are not many guitarists that can combine the producing and songwritting skills the way Jimmy Page does. While many guitarists were getting their sounds by plugging into fully cranked Marshall stacks to get their sounds, Page never limited himself to this cookie-cutter pattern. He proved that a properly miked small tube amp could sound just as big if not bigger than those EL34's cranked to 10.

Page constantly kept switching engineers to show to the world that he was responsible for his guitar sound. Not only was Jimmy Page totally responsible for his sound, but he was the primary reason John Bonham's
drums sounded so huge. Granted he was one of the greatest drummers of all time, but it was Page who made him sound superhuman. The multi-layered tracks, panning, reverse echo, and other tricks were part of Page's studio wizardry which made Zeppelin sound so three-dimensional. There has never been a band since, nor before which could combine as many different styles of music into one uniquely their own as Led Zeppelin. Whether it was the jazzy "Since I've Been Loving You," the middle-eastern "Kashmir," the bluesy "You Shook Me," the acoustic "Bron-Yr-Aur," straight up rockers "Rock and Roll" and "Whole Lotta Love," or the greatest song in rock history, Zeppelin has always been a full spectrum of styles whereas most groups wouldn't dare stray from their working formula. As if the music wasn't enough, Page presented himself on stage as no other guitarist has. Whether it was the Japanese dragon suits, the double neck Gibson, or bowing the beautiful sunburst Les Pauls at around knee level, Jimmy was just as exciting on stage as he made the music in the studio.

Led Zeppelin's has always always been based upon improvision and the 5th member of the band was the crowd. The beauty of Led Zeppelin is they NEVER played a song the same way twice. You could see Zeppelin live in concert 5 nights in a row and ever song was composed differently each night. Though their whole career live, each song was always played differently.

ok... but then

QUEEN & BRIAN MAY anyone??:wave:
 
Queen is a great band, but they never performed 3+ hour marathon concerts. Zeppelin was so big by like 1972 that they did not have opening bands perform at their shows. Zeppelin and Peter Grant kept 90% the sales from a show or something. Totally unheard of and even to this day

Ive got this Zeppelin Bootleg Bible that I type what they put for June 23,1977 at LA Forum. This book is rare and out of print, so I'll type part of what it says

But the big revelation is undoubtedly the best-ever version of No Quarter. 40 minutes of very inspired tight-but-loose exercises. Jones starts with a very unique introduction of the panio concerto, playing an incredible blend of synthesized, wah-wah distorted keyboards; you will never hear this version again. The three-way improvisation is absolute perfection. Every space is filled with intersecting instruments playing every conceivable riff in endless crescendos, renewed just when we think it's over! No self-indulgence anymore; we have three leaders here, no one trying to outshine the other. The perfect group! The drama culminates with Page's very high sustained notes linking the undulating, powerful vocal outbursts. The audience is breathless!

This thread has certainly blown up in views and posts, all in 2 days. Guess the Joey vs John topics really do get the most discussions lol.

Which is unfortunate. I guess this is what it's come down to.

I wish they would just re-hire Neil Turbin and watch both sides go ape-shit.:popcorn:

Bingo!

And if John Bush got fired from Anthrax and another singer came in and played with them for 15 years and then they asked John Bush to come back I am sure he wouldn't be too down to sing the singer the hired to replace hims songs.

I don't blame Joey one bit. They were assholes and fired him when Anthrax was in their prime. Now they want him to sing the replacement singers songs live? I am sure enough is enough.

Only is a garbage song anyways. Was that song that ruined Anthrax imo. So I am glad he doesn't sing it right. Hopefully they will play Gridlock, Skeletons or something cool in it's place!

Or "Blood" :kickass::rock::rock:

Would LOVE to hear a live version of that song. I can't even find live versions of it on youtube.
 
I love tuning into my daily Anthrax soap opera.

On a positive note, I say Joey gets fired and replaced with Scott's father in law. Rob gets swapped out for a Mr Potato head in a beanie. Charlie makes way for .... well, Joey actually. So technically Joey isn't fired. Scott gets replaced by a sack of shit or tub of lard, and Frank goes back to Helmet and Lady Gaga jumps in playing a hairy banjo.

And on tomorrow's episode, Dan Liker eats Lady Gaga.

Good night, and may your God be Scottish (or just a buckfast swiggin alkie).

Absolutely yes. I hate to say this, but on Deathrider Joey just plain fucking sucks!

This is so true! I saw them back in '05, on the first reunion tour, and that was the only song that didn't work AT ALL! And it was all because of the vocals. The rest of the show was killer, though! But that song just didn't work; he couldn't pull it off. Too bad, because I love that song!

You are going to gripe about Joey getting lyrics wrong on stage and you can not even get performed correct?

Here's a hint: you perform on stage, not preform. What the hell is preform anyway? To form something beforehand?

As far as the original idiotic topic goes: John had to get the Joey stuff correct because that was the stuff everyone wanted to hear. Joey doesn't because no one really cares.

People go to Anthrax shows to hear the classics. I am the Law. Caught in a Mosh. Indians. The list goes on but it doesn't include any Bush-era tracks. Because no one cares about them.

When I see them after the album comes out I'm going to want to hear new songs a hell of a lot lot more than the classics. I love the Bush-era songs but would prefer not to hear Joey sing most of them.

I was never a huge Zep fan and this little post highlights the reason why: I can't stand the excessive tangents that some bands go on in the middle of the song that has absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm a purist; play the song and get out. Then again, I probably will never download this bootleg (and I have about 20 Zep bootlegs). If you have it, enjoy the hell out of it, I'll just stick with the studio version. Yay freedom of choice.
 
Dave Dave Dave Dave.... I'll agree with you on your opening topic. This Bush Belladonna thing... look man.. I'd rather have Anthrax then no Anthrax no matter who is singing. ... better then nothing

If you were never a huge Zep fan, why do you have 20 of their bootlegs?
