The "Suck Rule"

Message to Scott: Doing a reunion tour that nobody wants to see on a tour
that no true metal fan cares about is a severe violation of the "suck rule". You remember that rule, it's your rule afterall. You are thorwing your last bit of integrity out the window for a payday. You are aware that you are commiting career suicide right. If you go through with this you will be the laughing stock of the metal world. What are you thinking? If you think your album sales have been bad wait till release an album with that no talent hack. You'll be lucky to sell 20,000 copies.

what do u mean career suicide,they are barely functioning right now,it cant do them any harm,hey if they do end anthrax after one more album and a tour by belladonna i will be a very happy anthrax fan,we take this shit for granted,its been an honour to listen to there music for so long,and if it conitinues on with bush after all this reunion stuff i will be fucking stoked.

 

[powerwolve]

I working with labels, and if such a thing is just a 1 off! it could be real successfull!!
And i could be a great fans for younger fans to see their heroes "live in the beginning age"
But as you know until now nothing is confirmed! So stay tuned and dont talk about thing you dont have facts

Don't jump to fucking conclusions. Many people on this board have stated numerous times that they would want to see this reunion if it's a 1 off, and john will be back after it. So saying no one wants to see it is just stupid and it makes you look like a dumbass.

do you live in a world full of elves and leprochauns??

Anthrax isn't living the fine life right now. We want to continue to blame all the label problems but the fact is that there are a small group of us that enjoy the john bush years. Will they all of a sudden turn it around with Joey? I don't think so as too many metalheads think anthrax is a joke by now but if they are to go out, I would like to see the classic lineup one last time.

 

[powerwolve]

John is not the reason why they dont have big record sales anymore
even joey will come back, the sales will not rise in the usa
they have a much better chance with john, if they will go on in the way of the last 2 years!

A tour that no true metalhead cares about? I guess true metalheads didn't care to see Slayer, Priest and Sabbath all in one day. Those aren't true metal bands, right?

 

[powerwolve]

you are too sarcastic
i am sure true metal heads love to see thrax/maiden + sabbath

ZING!

He's talking about Thrax touring w/ Belladonna. Not the ozzfest rumour.

I can't believe all of the Bush haters here. Belladonna was pure cheese and you ppl actually want this back? A few reunion shows is fine, but to go back to Joey permanently reeks of Van Halen syndrome. What else would I expect from a board who still can't get over Nick Menzas second departure?

Doesn't sound like it.
"Doing a reunion tour that nobody wants to see on a tour
that no true metal fan cares about "

 

[GregadetH]

Well I'll be damned - I don't care about ozzfest no matter who's on the fucking bill.

Exactly.
Talking about Kiss...Psycho Circus didn´t sell shit and Gene himself said that there will be no more Kiss CDs.
John Bush will leave the band, there´s no doubt, they can NOT continue if the reunion happens. I just want to know who´s gonna believe all the "magic is back" crap which we will soon hear from Scott. uke:

 

[SaviourSelf]

Right on Johnnie...I can see it now in his AM

Comrades,

The magic is back, this is the true brutal Anthrax line-up. It feels like the 1987 all over again.

Bah!

I seem to remember Scott writing somewhere that Greater Of Two Evils was done because that was the way those songs were meant to sound.

Well then do a tour with the current line-up (plus Frank) doing those songs for Christ sakes

 

[t-rave]

I gaurantee this tour will draw as much or more than the Bush led thrax...the last tour was mostly 300 seat clubs in the US......

as awesome as Bush is...I did not think his work on TGOTE was even close to the stuff that Joey did on those songs....the original versions of those songs and Joey's voice on Spreading the Disease is in a whole different league.

 

[dukeoflorain]

Let's start taking bets on which overused cliches Scott will use on his AM announcing this travesty. I'll start .

"The timing was right."
"This is about more than just money."

 

[Mr. Wu]

The Suck Rule does not apply. The SR applies when a band has sucked longer than they were good. Specifically, 10 years longer.
Here's an overused cliche: Patience is a virtue.

 

[dukeoflorain]

Selling your integrity for the almighty dollar = infinity years of sucking. 25 years of good music, 13 years of greatness< infinity years. "Do the math."
