Thrash fiend said:Alive 2 is fucking great to me,excellent sound and just explosive and belladonna sounds so much better than what he was sounding like in the days just before they split (92?). I dont know though, i really dont trust scott or Charlie,I just cant help it.Also with Belladonna back in the band and so happy about it, and with so many bush era fans feeling a bit screwed, I guess this will all end it tears whether they decide to keep this classic line up or whether they dont and they are driving themselves into a dead end.
Scott posted how nobody talks about how good it is that Frankie is in the band, maybe it just never occured to him that since they are being so vauge about the singer that nobody knows if Frankie is long haul either.
I think the fact that they have no clear direction is making them look foolish. I love Bush's voice but I like Joey as well. Earlier I posted that Joey had good stage presense but John and him were different. With Joey the band as a whole on stage seems down to earth and party like on stage. It's like watching your buddies play a show. With John they seem larger then life on stage, it's more animal. I like them both. Being a Bush fan, I'll buy a Joey album if they do one. Although I hope they do a Bush one just to piss off all these Joey lovers on here who can't even entertain the idea they made good music without this guy.
I guess my whole problem is that they are being so vauge an wishy washy. When I first got back into Anthrax Scott had his alpha male stuff and the band seemed so not corperate. Now they have a paid fan club, no clear direction, and just seem phony as hell since they clearly have no loyalty to their members. I feel sorry John, but I also think it's gotta suck to be Joey in all this as I'm sure he wants to know the future for him, and even if Scott and Charlie told him he;s the guy their sticking with you know he doesn't entirely trust them either.
It's kind of sad really.
