John has quit. Maybe he will do Armored Saint, but at the chat Ian?Benante hinted that he has quit music.
Better ask him directly....

John Bush: My Time With Anthrax Is 'Over'
posted Sunday, September 25, 2005 at 01:51:54 PM by deathbringer. (thanks Blabbermouth)
In a brand-new interview with Revolver magazine — his first since being "replaced" as the voice of ANTHRAX by his predecessor, Joey Belladonna — vocalist John Bush confirmed that the original idea for the band's current reunion trek was to bring both Belladonna and Bush on tour, as ANTHRAX had planned in 2000, but Bush wasn't interested. "At one time, I had been willing to tour with Joey, but now everything is different," Bush says. "It just wasn't in my heart. I figured I had been in this band 12 and a half years, and we felt positive about what we had done, and we all thought our last album, 'We've Come for You All', was the best record we'd made together. So I just wanted to move forward and do another album."
Bush's refusal to take part in the tour complicates his relationship with the band. He's still officially a member of ANTHRAX, but he's not on retainer and hasn't been given a date to report back to duty. In addition, ANTHRAX released two albums in September, neither of which involved Bush; a double-disc collection of their studio songs with Belladonna, 'Anthrology', and a live album of the reunion tour, 'Alive 2'. In Bush's mind, that doesn't bode well.
"The idea of this reunion tour was to generate a bunch of enthusiasm for the band. But if they get people excited, they're going to want a new record, so they're going to follow up with a new album with Joey," Bush says. "So for me, I look at it as it's over. The last thing I want to do is say, 'Hey, I'll be here if you want me.'"
Strangely, ANTHRAX haven't actually committed to a new CD with Belladonna, which is trying for the man who rode with them to their greatest heights in the Eighties.
"I can't even begin to understand how this all works," Belladonna says. "People are all worried about Bush not being here. I know for a fact he wasn't booted out. I was. I had to go. I had no choice. But the minute I start thinking about stuff like that, I'm not getting anywhere. Right now, I'm just doing the best job I can, and That's what I'm focused on. But I'm not just here for a temporary run. I'm ready for the ride."

So Jack, how is this an "unanswered question" when it was answered over two years ago?
As far as I'm concerned, all questions have been answered. We know who the new singer is and we know they're working on a new album. What questions could anyone have at this point? Maybe a release date, but I'm sure that's still a ways off yet.
Personally, I'm looking forward to finally hearing new material from Anthrax and I'm willing to give them a chance with the new singer.

I know what John said about the band. I just wanted to know whether there's still some valid contract between him and the band.

It's not so long ago when Scott confirmed that John is still a valid member of Anthrax. I don't tell you the exact date but it was surely in 2007.
Well Mikey, one day you will understand what I meant...

That would really blow. I don't mind him out of Anthrax as much as I used to, but he still needs to put out records regarding who he's with..I'm not done listening to his voice on new records.
I asked Joey Vera a few months ago about John being done with music and he said "Well hes not into it right now. But I wouldnt say forever." I posted this already in a previous thread when i got an email back from Joey.

John is still the voice in the Burger King commercials. I like the ones with the ladys trying to Kill the King!!!!
Yes that Johns voice!
Yes that Johns voice!
From my understanding, there is one and it has not been settled... Buy who knows. I think John will be singing a lot sooner than we think, he just didn't want to sing for this band anymore after all the BS.

Im pretty sure what they said he was "part of the anthrax family" or something. Not exactly telling he was a band member. And if he was it was prolly contractural only.
If anyone still hopes for straight answers from Scott or Charlie, well, don't hold your breath too long.

You just love cracking on him, don't you?
Well, he deserves it.
It's all in fun, I'm not sure how he sees it, but I don't mean anything by it.
