I've been a passenger on the Anthrax express since they first left the station. When the split came I was saddened and pretty convinced that one of the best, if not the best, groups in the history of music was finished. Then we get SOWN, I was blown away. New sound, EVERYWHERE. New attitude. New direction. I was more than satisfied. I was very familiar with John and his abilities and in my opinion he brought more than a breath of fresh air to Anthrax, he brought the voice that Scott had been writing for.
There isn't an Anthrax album that I don't like. Everyone stands on its own merits as an awesome piece of music. While I missed Dan and Joey due to the fact that I'd been a fan since the beginning and there's always that nostalgia, I was completely satisfied with the band. It seemed to me that their direction not only suited the music, but it suited them as well. Having seen them more times than I can remember through the years, I always thought that they were in the perfect zone during the Bush years.
Here's a few questions that I have...
How much of the Bush years music are we going to hear?
How long will Dan be able to tolerate Anthrax music that pretty much tells him that his religion is a joke?
Who among you have seen them since the reunion?
I have not had the opportunity yet and these things concern me as to what I am going to hear when I go see them this summer.
Has anyone heard Joey sing "What Doesn't Die?", "Crush?", or "Killing Box?"
Anyway, to answer the thread starter's question; Bush will be fine and Armored Saint will be the better for having him back.
