Anthrax Guitarist Rob Caggiano Discusses Possible Full Time Reunion With John Bush

Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano recently spoke with I Heart Guitar about a number of topics, which of course included the mystery of whether or not former Anthrax vocalist John Bush will return to the band and the new Anthrax album, "Worship Music" which was shelved after the band split with lead singer Dan Nelson. Some excerpts are as follows:

I Heart Guitar: I guess the big question people want to know the answer for is, is John Bush singing at these performances (Soundwave Festival)?

Rob Caggiano: "Yes he is!"

I Heart Guitar: Cool! I feel like a jerk asking this question because you've probably heard it a million times lately, but is he coming back on board for good, or is this an extended one-off?

Caggiano: "Nothing's really official right now. Honestly I can't really give a definite answer on that. It's looking really good. It's feeling really good and the shows we played were amazing so far. And it looks like he's going to sing on the record. So we're just kinda taking it one day at a time and hoping for the best, but right now everything's really positive and everything feels great!"

I Heart Guitar: There was such a buzz about the album when it was finished with Dan (Nelson) and I couldn't wait to hear it. So how are you going to approach it - are you going to keep the music as-is, or change things with John's input?

Caggiano: "The music is all there. What we really need to do is to figure out what parts are going to stay the same and what parts are going to change."

I Heart Guitar: What's it sound like?

Caggiano: "In my opinion, it's pretty much We've Come For You All to the next level. The faster parts are way faster, the melodic parts are real catchy. There's definitely some stuff that's reminiscent of the Among The Living era, which is pretty cool. It's a really well-rounded record. It's killer. We're really psyched on it."
