Since the split, they've all said some pretty nasty shit about each other, so I have a hard time believing they can just forget what's been said. If this is really what the band wants, then more power to them. I hope Bush returns, but if not, hopefully at least Armored Saint will come back stronger.
I'd like to believe what Scott says, but the new website doesn't really give any credit to John, making it seem more ominous that this could be a permanent thing. As much a s the band has given the impression of keeping the fans in the loop through Alphamails, Blast Beats, and Mr. Wu posting on the board, the fact is we've been kept in the dark about so many things, and when we do finally hear it from the band, its nothing new that we hadn't heard from other sources weeks or even months beforehand...including Paul, Frank, and now the whole reunion thing. There was nothing we didn't know already in yesterdays website change, but it didn't offer us any reassurances either..."John and Rob are still part of the Anthrax family" What the fuck is that supposed to mean? My dead grandfather is still a part of our family, but he's dead. My asshole uncle is still a part of the family but nobody talks to him or sees him anymore. Sure, the band has kept some things private for personal reasons, and I can respect that. But why can't they just be straight with us on something big like this instead of stringing us along?
Everybody has their own opinion, and I thought Anthrax had some decent stuff with Joey, but there was a lot of stuff I didn't like. John made me a fan of the band, and if this does turn out to be a permanent thing, its going to hurt for me because Bush Thrax is my favorite band. If this is a true split, then my loyalty will be with John. Couldn't they avoid all this bullshit we've seen on these boards in the past few weeks if someone in the band could just give us a straight answer?
