It's no secret that my allegences lie with John Bush, and I truly do appreciate someone trying to keep the mystery in rock. It's sort-of lacking these days when you can find out every damn thing in the world. One of the great things about Zeppelin was the mystery. But at the same time, I fail to see the mystery in this right now. Simply, because...it makes no sense to me to be holding back who's singing on the album, if, in fact it will be Joey. You already announced the reunion, so...it doesn't make much sense to NOT just go ahead and say "yeah, we're doing a record."...unless it's not Joey. Or if it's both, or something wierd like that. I don't know. I can understand not announcing what's going on if it won't be the reunion lineup...however, I actually think that if it wasn't Joey, announcing that you will move forward with John would make you sell a shitload more reunion tickets on the last leg of it's tour, because it'd be the "last chance" to see you guys with Joey. So I am confused...thus, I guess that's mystery. But frustrating mystery, not the good kind.
I'm a huge John Bush era fan...and I admit I can't stand Belladonna's voice. But I'm not going to waste my time badmouthing you guys or telling you to "eat my fuck"...because that's just childish, and at the end of the day, Scott, it's your guys' band and you can do whatever you want with it. It's up to nobody but yourselves, the career choices you make. I don't have to support it...but if I don't, I surely won't tell others they can't. All I know is, I went out of my way to see Anthrax live 7 times on the WCFYA tour, screamed my ass off and sang along at every show, and had the time of my life. I will miss that if the reunion continues. But I do thank you for those great times. It's nothing personal, I honestly just am not a fan of Joey's voice. Nothing can be done about that, I suppose. No matter what the reasoning is for the reunion or whatever, I don't care if your tour cured cancer, I can't pretend to like the vocals LOL. But anyway, whatever you truly believe you should do in your heart is what you should do...but whatever you do, don't let the Bush era material go out of print again! 13 Years of your career which is painfully under-rated/promoted.
