With all due respect to J Belladona, brutal, strong vioce of John Bush is quite different level. I cant help myself, my feeling is, that Belladona is struggling with this song.
Well he didn't have much time to learn it, you can tell because he wasn't really being himself while singing, he wasn't runnin around or any of that because he was too focused trying to remember the timing and lyrics of the song he didn't have much time to learn.
If i remember correctly, Scott Ian had mentioned that they had only rehearsed it once before this performance. When you see the performances following this, Joey is more comfortable and the performance looks and sounds more smooth. I rather enjoyed his performance here....much better than Dan Nelson.
The only reason anyone likes John bush better on this is because they are used to hearing him on the song/album. IF Joey would have sung on the album everyone would think this is fine. And by the way anthrax is the best out of the big 4... just thought I'd add that.
I have seen Anthrax BEFORE Joey left and he was great then, and I was with all you Joey lovers and though Bush sucked, then I seen them live 95 or 96 and that show was the most ruthless I have ever seen, Bush was standing on the speakers, swinging from the lights from the rafters and he was bad ass, changed my mind forever. Yeah the Joey era stuff was a bit better but it would have been EPIC if Bush had been the singer since then.
@@OwnMySunrise Nah, it felt like Armored Saint lite. Joey is the better singer for Anthrax and Bush is better for Armored Saint. I love both, and besides - Bush sang the other eras of Anthrax so Joey should too. The entire album of Worship Music was written around someone else's voice ffs!
@@midnightstrike3625 Completely disagree. Bush has more power. More feel. Belladonna is not "the better singer for Anthrax" - that's just your opinion. Personally I don't find him better at all
@@TheFuckingVicious Not at all. Simple fact is that Joey cannot get the same tone for same passion that Bush does. John bush is a better vocalist and sings the songs better than Belladonna
I do too JZP... but this turned shit for me in 2010. ... before volbeat. i took my then 17 yr old daughter to this theater simulcast... this show was such a class act that i don't remember Anthrax doing ONLY. this version was so good i had to say out loud "wow that was EPIC. sorry, John.!"
if they didnt have a lot of popularity until the Big 4, how the hell were they one of the BiG 4? Anthrax has always been one of the biggest thrash bands.
WHAT?!?!?!? Apparently you were born after the 80's. Cause Anthrax kicked ASS back then!!! With Joey first...then with John...then with Joey again. :) Metal Thrashing Mad!!!!
@danielNthemetalhead Joey hasn't lost anything. Watch his performance of I Am the Law from this performance. Or Indians when the cover Heaven and Hell. He almost sounds like Dio himself on that.
@tylerjaydavis Charlie and Scott are the two leaders of the band, of course the main man being Scott. Charlie had something to do with Joey's firing, Scott just initiated it. It was basically Scott going "We need to let Joey go" and Charlie going "Ok, why not" followed by a "you're out" from Scott. Shitty deal, but I'm just glad he's back.
Bush is very well content at singing for Armored Saint. Besides Joey is the sound of classic Anthrax and at least give him some respect for trying to sing a song that doesn't fit his vocal style
We had similar cases before. In Iron Maiden, Bruce singing Blaze's stuff when he rejoined, in Accept Udo singing stuff by David Reece when he rejoined, in Guns N' Roses Slash doing stuff from Chinese Democracy when he rejoined. That said, Ozzy is a pussy for having an ego, so fuck him.
Joey fucking owns this fucking song!! would love to hear him do "room for one more"!!!! actually redo all the bush stuff with Joey just so it can be done right!!!
Meh. I like all the Anthrax singers, and for what it's worth, for a lot of bands it's pretty cool to see one singer (this case Joey) take on the other singer's (this case Bush) songs, but that's about it.
@jaybird35k3 Sure, but could you hear John on Persistence of Time? Or Euphoria? Or Among the Living? Fuck no. John is fucking fantastic, but Joey just suits Anthrax slightly better, and therefore it's fantastic to have him back. I think Joey did an incredible job on Worship Music. Like he belonged there. John would've done great, too, but there are some songs on the Worship album that just SCREAM Joey, and others that scream them both. No songs that scream just John.
Bush's vocals are monotone compared to Belladonna's. The highs, melody, and alternating range were definitely missing in Bush's version of the classic songs. That's why most Anthrax fans abandoned them for switching singers. Anthrax had the potential to gain enough notoriety to have those other big 4 bands opening for them but blew it because they wanted to experiment with a different singer and sound. Even though they are playing for bigger crowds with Joey, in sense they are starting over.
Part of the reason Worship Music is so good is precisely because it was written with John Bush in mind. WM would have been even better than it is with John on vocals.
It's good they had played that excellent song with Belladonna, though I prefer Bush. I guess both singers are awesome in their eras. Anthrax should consider doing a tour with both singers, that would be killer
Sounds like they up-tuned about half an octave to get closer to Joey's range. As it goes, Joey is going as low as he can go, and it's still too high a key for how the song sounded originally...
One good album? LMFAO! We've Come For You All & Sound of White Noise are considered two of the band's best albums. With the other 2 being highly regarded as well (& I would put them above ANYTHING *minus I am the Law* that Joey did with the band). Different Strokes I guess...
@jaybird35k3 Lol, giant step back how? The band always made more money with Joey in the band, and Worship Music has proven that even further. It's already besting everything John helped do besides Sound of White Noise, and it JUST came out. The only person taking a step back was John Bush himself, since Anthrax is WAY bigger a band than Armored Saint, and therefore, sells more. Anthrax and Joey made the right decision. Worship Music is definitely a Joey album, like Persistence of Time.
@trollfacelotsofshit His range is damn good right now. Listen to his performance of Man on the Silver Mountain from the Dio tribute. If anything, his voice is much more refined now. I've seen them live twice in the last 2 years, and he is as solid as ever. I'd like to hear them cover Sabbath Bloody Sabbath again just to see, though. :)
Fuck dude how come everytime I go onto a anthrax video there's always arguments on the singers! Who gives a fuck! No matter what singer they're not going to get better or worse. This is a band that didn't have a lot of popularity until the big 4.
It'd be better if Joey did his own version of the song by singing he normally does rather than trying to imitate Bush's vocals. I think Joey's vocals would suit the song a lot more
Sydney Carton Well, you have to think that this was right after he rejoined. Besides, he wasn't familiar enough with the song to add his own flair; his bandmates have a habit of telling him 2 or so days ahead of time only, and I doubt that he was listening to all the Anthrax records he wasn't on
How can belladonna not sing bush era stuff properly but he can sing the old anthrax properly? Are you telling me Bush is a better singer? Or did belladonna not sing it better cuz he doesn’t want to play bush era anthrax?
It's really damned weird...I agree that John Bush wasn't quite as good as Joey on the classic songs...but somehow, the same is true of Joey, in that he just can't quite pull it off when he tries to do the Bush era songs. :/ They're both very talented singers though. \m/
davidian666 well, it's much harder for a tenor to sing low than for a baritone to sing high, as evidenced by James Hetfield's high notes. I'm a bass, Bush's songs are pretty easy, but singing Joey's material? I could only dream of that
Everything is good except in the part of the chorus the others members should help witih their voices.. i like joey i always wanted that he comes back to the band and sing all the jeff's songs because i never liked his voice.. AND MY WISH CAME TRUE! I LIKE ANTHRAX AGAIN...!!
Belladonna has a great range and in his youth he was far better than Bush. Even though I liked what John brought to the band, Anthrax did not do as well with John. The Sound of White Noise is their only good album with John and every album that they put out with Joey was great.
He doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as when John Bush tried to sing the classic-era stuff. The only reason the Greater of Two Evils CD grew on me was due to the re-recorded instruments sounding sharper and more fierce, the vocals however were atrocious.
@Pwn0r88 You must have cement in your ears mate. Joey butchered that. Before everyone jumps on me I'm a fan of both singers, love the new record too but that was woeful.
Joey is Anthrax's only real singer! I love his voice on "Only" so much better. I wish Anthrax would rerecord this song and release it with Joey singing it. He kills it here, well they all do!
Bush sang the old songs like a boss. Joey is unable to sing Bush era songs. Look, I like Joey and at first I didnt like Bush, but after seeing them live Bush is the more power singer. Joey is the nostalgic one that is a better fit for Anthrax over all.

They're both better at their own era
Awesome, Cheers for posting this.
I think Joey nailed this one, his voice fits this version of the song perfectly.

@@Westcoasttrendkill Dan Nelson sucked ass
@@Westcoasttrendkill He sounds much more settled in even in the second half of this stab at it.
Kick ass... Anthrax 4 life :)
This song only for Bush...
If Joey took the vibrato out of his vocals when he sings the the word "Only" then this would be perfect. He's used to singing with it.
The only reason anyone likes John bush better on this is because they are used to hearing him on the song/album. IF Joey would have sung on the album everyone would think this is fine. And by the way anthrax is the best out of the big 4... just thought I'd add that.
hey first impression's last........right!!!!
sean kamatoy right...
hey man....is there any more song from john bush era that joey did?
sean kamatoy no, im pretty sure this is the only one. You might have to look. But I think this is the "only" one (see what I did there ;-)
I wanted to like your comment then saw you say Anthrax were the best of the big 4..........
I’d love to see Anthrax do more stuff from SOWN with Joey. While this was a little rough here and there, he could make some of these songs his own.
Joey should stick to Joey's stuff. John Bush to me was the better vocalist
Joey sounds better now than back then, especially on the new album and live shows with lots of energy
I have seen Anthrax BEFORE Joey left and he was great then, and I was with all you Joey lovers and though Bush sucked, then I seen them live 95 or 96 and that show was the most ruthless I have ever seen, Bush was standing on the speakers, swinging from the lights from the rafters and he was bad ass, changed my mind forever. Yeah the Joey era stuff was a bit better but it would have been EPIC if Bush had been the singer since then.
This was great, they should perform more Bush era stuff live with Joey!
No they shouldn't. Belladonna cannot sing Bush's parts. Bush was the better singer
@@OwnMySunrise Nah, it felt like Armored Saint lite. Joey is the better singer for Anthrax and Bush is better for Armored Saint. I love both, and besides - Bush sang the other eras of Anthrax so Joey should too. The entire album of Worship Music was written around someone else's voice ffs!

I prefer John Bush as Anthrax's vocalist but I give Belladonna mad props for taking this song on
WHAT?!?!?!? Apparently you were born after the 80's. Cause Anthrax kicked ASS back then!!! With Joey first...then with John...then with Joey again. :) Metal Thrashing Mad!!!!
@danielNthemetalhead Joey hasn't lost anything. Watch his performance of I Am the Law from this performance. Or Indians when the cover Heaven and Hell. He almost sounds like Dio himself on that.
This vid cracks me up! Like watching a train wreck, its so bad you gotta watch till the end.
Only! If John were still in the band! Joey should get arrested for crimes against music!
THERE IS NO DOUBT
Joey sounded awesome
Not only is John a better singer, he also adds to the song writing big time.
@tylerjaydavis Charlie and Scott are the two leaders of the band, of course the main man being Scott. Charlie had something to do with Joey's firing, Scott just initiated it.

You guys are crazy, joey kicks this song in the ass
@jimmyw604 Fuck dude, I'd love to hear your version of it! He had a key to sing in and he did it the best he could. What did you expect?
Bush is very well content at singing for Armored Saint. Besides Joey is the sound of classic Anthrax and at least give him some respect for trying to sing a song that doesn't fit his vocal style
LOl this is like Ozzy singing Heaven and hell for Black Sabbath.....

That said, Ozzy is a pussy for having an ego, so fuck him.
TerminatorZXY Ozzy wouldn’t have the range for Heaven and Hell
That's because he's old now...We all get that way. You should have heard him in the 80's
awesome
to bad they dosent do more songs from the bush era. It would be intresting to see how joey sounds on them

Sound of white noise with belladonna on vocals would have been epic. I like John Bush in Armored Saint. He wasn't for anthrax.
angelcrusher420 John wrote the vocal melodies as well as the lyrics for SOWN - so it would have never sounded as good with Joey.
I think that argument is pretty much debunked by the fact that Joey didn't write for Worship Music and that album still ended up brilliant.

Nah one greater of 2 evils is enough LOL
Joey is the ONLY singer for Anthrax.

Fine, Joey's the singer of Anthrax, ok I get it, but do not let him BUTCHER Bush songs, Joey is so talented he is unable to sing Bush's...
Wowowowowow, Joey actually made me like this song, I can't stand it with Bush. Bush is a great singer, but not for Anthrax.
This is definitely not a song por Joey to perform :/
