Does belladonna do Bush era songs?

John did not want to leave the band to spend time with his kid....he didn't just quit on them and then they got Joey back...it didn't happen like that. John wanted to continue on with WCFYA's momentum and record the followup...he'd have plenty of time to spend with his new child when they were recording. They got the Joey reunion idea...actually, they were going to try with two singers and take both singers out on this tour. But they already tried that in 1998 when the Greatest Hits record came out and Joey fucked them over at the last minute and didn't do it. John wanted to back then. But after it didn't pan out the first time, the band had a rebirth and WCFYA was their best record ever and did some amazing touring. Then they suggested the double tour again, and John didn't want to do it at that point. Joey's chance had already came and went. But, John refused, so it became a reunion tour instead of a dual singer tour. They chose a guy who was in the band for 7 years for what seemed like a lifetime ago over a guy who was a good friend and in the band for over 13 years.
I've seen both lineups and prefer the Belladonna era. Watching bush sing alot of the old stuff was painful to me, he just doesn't have the range. His lower register kicked ass on some of it, and He may have made them a little heavier, but hearing him do madhouse and a.i.r...ugh.
Can you imagine him doing Medusa?

Great, but the point of this thread was if they were doing any of the bush era songs with Joey on tour.

Honestly not. But the question is how many Bushthrax songs would fit to Joey's voice as compared with the fact how many Bellthrax songs fit to John's voice... Having the voice range doesn't even ensure a good interpretation of Bushthrax songs.

I know I've hit this thread heavy here at one time, but.....
You are touring again, with Zombie, and if I go I will see the same set I saw the last two times. I love ATL, maybe one of the best records ever, but to watch you guys and not here anything from SOWN, VOL8 or S442 is just sad. Hasn't Joey been learning any of these? Isn't it inevitable he will have to sing them eventually?
Would anybody expect Ozzy to sing anything from those that followed him in Sabbath? I'll admit that the Sabbath set grew stale but those guys had good tunes they wouldn't even play. Probably because Ozzy's voice no longer had that higher register. Personally, there are a few tracks from the Bush era I would enjoy hearing Joey do, but I've heard every Bush album and they're overall just not very good IMO. If this reunion set is getting boring to Charlie and Scott there are lots of other songs to choose from. Or, get a new album out.
And drop that damn piece of shit "I'm the man" from the set.

Hey guys, read the following carefully:
Joey has never told us he wouldn't sing John's songs. We've never asked. We are on a reunion tour. We're playing the songs from that era. If we have new material after this, and we tour again, then this is a conversation.
So if you expect they will play some Bushthrax songs, you're wrong. They're going to play the same song over and over again.
And another highlight from the Scott's quote is an impeachment of a new record: If we have new material..... Sorry guys but Scott was never so unsure about the future of Anthrax when John Bush was in the band...

The guy's in Anthrax can't win with some fan's - if Joey sang a Bush song, without a doubt some people will start saying it is a 'slap in the face' for Bush.
I enjoy the Bush era stuff, and if I am desprate to hear a song with John's vocals I'll just stick a cd on or play MMOD on my DVD player. I can't say that I left the reunion concert I went to last year feeling dissapointed that only Fistful - POT tracks were played.

But the question is not whether you liked any reunion show or didn't. I meant listening the same songs forever... It cannot work for a long time.

Now that I think about it again, isn't re-recording the old songswith the new lineup ignoring Joey? I like The Greater of Two Evils a lot, but I think that's the case if you think the worst of it.

It's not been that long. Do you really think the band wants to play the same songs forever? Of course not, but there's always new kids at every show who need to be taught the classics so they can become fans.
