Armored Saint Vocalist John Bush Speaks On Possibly Rejoining Anthrax

In a recent interview with KNAC.com, Armored Saint vocalist John Bush spoke about a number of topics including the possibility that he will rejoin his old band, Anthrax. Some excerpts from the chat are as follows:
"The experience's been great (so far). And the band is sitting on (an already completed new) record (with Dan Nelson's vocals) that they're probably a little unsure what to do with, and we've discussed that, and we're trying to figure that out too. And I've listened to some music and it sounds cool.
"Doing shows is easy, for the most part. Remembering lyrics is the biggest challenge lately, and I've done pretty well with that at the two shows. I'm proud of myself. I guess all my memory abilities are still there, which is important. I haven't gotten early signs of Alzheimer's yet; I'm lucky. We even played a couple of songs at the Japanese show, like 'Catharsis', which we played once in the band's career, and we didn't even rehearse; that's a pretty awesome accomplishment, I think.
"That being said, I kind of wanted to (complete) the (new) Armored Saint (album), as far as creativity-wise, before I could enter a new area of being creative with Anthrax. And I've talked to them and I wanted to be super-straight-up about everything.
"There's a few things to iron out if I was gonna re-sing the (songs on the already completed new Anthrax) record, basically. One is making sure that I have the capability of contributing in the proper way and in the most uplifting way. And also there are a couple of legal things to work out.
"The (new Anthrax) record's done. I mean, Dan sang on it; it's finished. So it's an area that I'm still kind of entering with... not trepidation, but just... again, baby steps for me and trying to figure out the right way."

I think Bush should stay away from Anthrax. It didnt work out before and he should just look forward on his music with Saint.
As much as I would love to see Bush back in Anthrax, I dont think its a smart move for him, considering how volatile Ian and Benante are

John was an original member of Armored Saint I think he means.
I thought Bush was Jewish because in the WCFYA notes he thanks a Rabbi for spiritual guidance and on the Music Of Mass Destruction DVD segment in his home there are several Shields Of Davids on the walls.

Sounds like Bush is unsure, and with good reason! f*** Anthrax, he's too good for them! And I love how KNAC.com continues to note how the record is completed with Dan's vocals. That should tell you just how dumb Anthrax are, to have a completed piece of work and they're sitting on it while time wastes away! Good for Bush to have doubts about them, I wouldn't trust a band of NY Jews and Italians.
