I wonder if

[Jockthrax]

I think Joey could handle a couple of the SOWN songs as im sure a few of them were written with him in mind but as others have said i dont think he has the range to tackle songs like Inside Out or WDD.
As for a Bush farewell tour I dont think it would ever happen but he sure as hell deserves it......

I don't agree with that. I can sing both those songs perfectly, so why wouldn't a professional singer be able to do it?

 

[Jockthrax]

He could certainly try but i dont think they would suit his voice......
i cant believe I've been lured into another John vs Joey thread

 

[Social Distortion]

That's what I've been saying the whole time. He surely is able to sing those songs, but would it sound good or "right", that's another thing.

 

[Jockthrax]

Cool we agree.

 

[Social Distortion]

Cool we agree.

When a reunion happens, it's actually quite unusual that the original singer sings the after-reunion songs. Take Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Morbid Angel, Kiss for instance. Iron Maiden is the only exception I know of, correct me if I'm wrong. That's because Dickinson is technically way better singer than Blaze, which is something you can't really say in most of the other cases.

To ask John Bush to do a sign off tour would probably just insult him.

"Okay, John, we have decided that Joey is our singer for good. Again. But if you want to do one last tour with us that would be cool."

*slap to face*

Aside from how it may make Bush feel - this shit is playing head games with the fans. I see so many people, just from this board alone, who take preference over Joey or John. There are people here that won't go to an Anthrax show because Joey is singing now. And if John was still there, it would be the other way around. No matter what they decide they can't please everyone. So half of you better brace yourselves. Which half is the real question.

I don't think it would be an insult. It would be a challenge and it would be gracious. A way of saying thanks to his fans.

 

[AlexStomp]

Also, it would kick ass to see an Anthrax show with Bush singing only Bush albums songs too.

I'm hoping for a reunion tour with Matt Fallon.

I'm pretty sure Kiss played some newer stuff at second half of the farewell tour. Not sure, though. Anyway, you make some good points, even if I don't really agree.

 

[spacebeer]

Let's just hope they'll make a killer new album!

 

[RiderOfJustice]

Anthrax sux baullz

 

[johnnieCzech]

I don't really think so, I saw 3 shows of their various "farewell tours", but being not as educated in the Kiss thing, I could be wrong...

 

[Thrillho]

Gracious?

"John, this WILL be your last tour with us. Aren't you greatfull?"

 

[Jockthrax]

Gracious?

"John, this WILL be your last tour with us. Aren't you greatfull?"

Im pretty sure he would tell them exactly what to do with their farewell tour when you put it like that.

 

[Thrillho]

Yep. And I would not blame him either.

I'm not sure either. I once had a bootleg video from one their shows in 2000 and I'm pretty sure I remember seeing them play some newer songs but I can't remember anything these days.

Maybe it was something from Psycho Circus, which they played indeed, but it was a reunion album.
