Iron Maiden and Anthrax Ozzfest 2005 FUCK YEAH!

[GregadetH]

1The thing about this board is that most of the people here are John Bush era fans.

2The Old fans of Joey had long left the band and haven't follwed them in about 10 years.

3That is why when I heard the news I looked up Anthrax.com and was excited.

4But its a bummer coming here only to have you nu fans rain on the reunion parade.

5There may be a bunch of you on here that are 'pissed' but trust me the MAJORITY of the crowd will be more into it than not TRUST ME

1. I'll give you that one on default based soley on the fact that no one would be here if they hated Bush.
2. 2 for 2. You're right about this also
3. I'm happy for ya. I'll shake anyones hand for bieng exted about Anthrax. Past or present.
4. See, that's where you lost me and most of the board. Sorry, but I'm not a nu fan. Most everyone here is a fan from the Joey era who are a) still fans of their favorite band b/c they stuck by 'em. b) actually prefer Bush to Joey. You see, even though we used to bang our head to Finale - we really bang it hard to Hy Pro Glo.
5. I don't trust you based soley on the fact that you respect no one elses opinion about this reunion. You don't want to hear it. I like a lot of others here aren't pissed at a reunion. We're pissed that all of a sudden Joey fans come out of the woodwork like you're reclaiming the crown or sumthing.

You like Joey, I like Bush. We both like Anthrax. To say sumone is a nu fan b/c they like Bush era is nonsense. You can't like Anthrax at all if you don't even recognise, listen to and respect the work they did in the 1980's.

'Nuff said

Here, here. Well stated my friend. I just started a new topic that says the same thing, in a slightly different way, just to welcome people back to the fold. If anything, they may be more likely to take a listen to the Bush-era stuff and like it....as long as people don't act like a bunch of shitheads and drive them away.

 

[GregadetH]

Yeah I just saw that thread. I was thinking "Way to steal my thunder there!" Heh heh heh

J/k

 

[prime666]

The next person who spells new, "Nu" is gonna get my internet size 12 boot up there chocolowatta...

 

[powerwolve]

yes i am a new fan since 86, and everyday I am a nu fab because they are getting better & better

 

[C11 H17 N2 O2 S Na]

Nu fans MY ASS!!!!! I´ve been a fucking fan since State Of Euphoria came out and of course loved the old Anthrax!
The new direction is just way better, ok? I´m no blindfolded metalhead who still lives in 80´s glory, as probably you are!

Hell yeah! My words exactly, and I too entered in '88 with State of Euphoria (I was 9 years old) then went back and heard the first 3 albums. It was because of this band (and Maiden) that I turned in the direction of Metal!!Charlie's drumming made me want to do what he does. Now I am an aspiring drummer. I remained a true fan ever since despite lineup changes (enter Bush, exit Spitz). I absolutely love how they sound now too. In my ears they can do no wrong.

I'd be cool with a ONE TIME TOUR with Belladonna and Spitz. But like I said before since you obviosly didn't read it:
I'M a fan since '87 and JOHN BUSH IS MUCH BETTER!!

 

[GregadetH]

Settle down Beavis.

 

[Ozzbran]

Personally I think this one time reunion tour is a good thing. Even though I prefer the Bush era, I still have no problems with Joey. The reunion is a good chance for youngins like me who weren't alive to see the Joey era to see what it was like.

 

[SDSwami]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Joey was great with Anthrax back when their music was fun and humorous, but when Anthrax decided to become a serious metal band, John is a much better fit. I love both singers for the albums they put out. P.O.T. is still one of the best metal albums ever, but I also enjoy WCFYA and Volume 8 just as much.

As for a reunion tour, if it's a one time thing, I would have no complaints, but I can't see any kind of future albums with Joey, not with the state music is in today.

 

[ironmaidenfan09]

Fuck yeah a bump

 

[ironmaidenfan09]

yes i am a new fan since 86, and everyday I am a nu fab because they are getting better & better

I guess we can just disagree on that one

Anthrax is a completely different band now. I do enjoy the new album but its almost so different from the Classic era stuff that its hard to even compare the sounds.

 

[GASOLINEDREAM]

In Flames
Soilwork

I take it you never listened to or heard the serious lyrics on STD and ATL.

John is better but Anthrax were still brutal with Joey on vocals. They played faster and to bigger slam pits.

Salutations from a brand new member to these boards. I'd just watched the Music of Mass Destruction DVD today and decided I should check out the Anthrax message board.
Count me in as one Maiden fan (you couldn't tell from the username?) that prefers John Bush over Joey. BIG time.
And while a one time deal with Joey and Dan along for the ride wouldn't be an awful thing, I'd *much* rather seen John and Rob. Unfortunately, my area of VA is a wasteland of concert activity, so I've never seen Anthrax live. If they're on the Ozzfest bill this year, that's definitely going to change.
I wonder what John's reaction to all this would be.

 

[DarbysDad]

Johns reaction will be a 4th of July gig with Armored Saint at my house. Complete with Fried Chicken, Potato Salad, Carne Asada, Rice and Beans

And oh a shitload of beer and weed for the stoners too.

 

[Powerslave214]

Well save some chicken and rice!

 

[DarbysDad]

You got it. There'll be salsa and Louisiana hot sauce too.

Fuck now I'm thinking cat fish too and tamales
