Belladonna back in Anthrax!

Joey is my favorite Anthrax singer. Can't wait to see 'em!

And he's going to leave in 5...4...3...2...

I already reported this in the other Anthrax thread.

Wow. What a surprise this is.

I just hope it lasts.

You know, I LOVED John Bush with this band; his pipes were just gold and I thought the "Sound of White Noise" just crushed!!

I liked the old Anthrax with Belladonna back in the day and now for the nostalgia value when I crank the old Anthrax tunes; not sure how much I'd like him back in the band now. We'll see...

Hope to see them live before Belladonna leaves the band again.

One word:

"Yawn."

The rotating door of Anthrax vocalists spins almost as fast as a ceiling fan on the highest speed setting

Belladonna's presence doesn't guarantee anything. Look at State of Euphoria...

let's see how long it last

Sure, but he's got a much better track record than whoever else they could've gotten ...

Why is John Bush not back in, did he decide to stick it out with Armored Saint?

No, he makes a good living doing voice overs and does not want to be away from his family for long periods of time.

Here's one of Bush's voiceovers....

Quote from Charlie...

Quote :

John [Bush, former vocalist] was gracious enough to step in and do a few shows with us, but John didn't want to continue with this lifestyle or making music. We wanted either John or Joey to step up and do this with us. Joey stepped up is what it all comes down to. My whole thing behind this is, I don't want something for the short term, I want something for the long term. I want to ride this out.

Sounds like John is content to do the occasional show or 2 and music when it fits his schedule. I can see where he's coming from. He's not a young man anymore and the music business ain't what it was.

And as for doing some shows first, then recording a new album, it sounds like they already had these "Big Four" festival shows booked, so they're taking care of any tour committments before heading into the studio. Charlie says possibly 5 songs from the Worship Music cd will be on the new album, with some others tweaked or re-written for Joey's vocal style.

Here's the rest of the article if anyone cares...

Well, at least it's good to see that John and Anthrax are still on good terms.

Belladonna is back where he belongs... in Anthrax!

Nothing against Bush... but his voice has always been better suited for Armored Saint.

Any word if Danny Spitz is coming back?

This came from the interview with Charlie that I posted above...

Quote :

Q: Is there any chance of seeing Danny [Spitz, former guitarist] get involved in any way?

Charlie Benante: We haven't talked about that. Danny has been a little sick lately so he needs to get his health in order. Rob [Caggiano, guitarist] is with us and we're continuing with Rob.

I don't know what health issues Danny is dealing with at the moment. Anyone?
