Pelle d'oca ogni volta che rilasciano un album: mai, MAI deluso. La classe di Bush è fuori dai parametri mortali. Amazing every time they release an album: never, NEVER disappointed. The Bush class is out of deadly standards.
Love you Phil. Killer guitar work as ALWAYS! Love the lyrics and video. Timely. True! I preordered the special edition bundle from Metal Blade first thing when I got up today!
Armored Saint has got to be the most consistently solid metal band in music history! Every record, every song, absolutely incredible, ZERO exaggeration. I've seen them on nearly every tour since March Of The Saint including the anniversary tour for Symbol Of Salvation and without question they are every bit as amazing now as they were on the Metallica/WASP tour in 1985. They should have had Metallica level fame but a part of me is glad we can still see them in intimate settings with their true hardcore fans at every show. Saints STILL conquer!!!
Absolutely. I've "only" seen them live four times but they were always amazing. That Symbol of Salvation concert took place on one of the coldest days of the year and I was still warm when I came home.
I'm really saddened that younger people almost do not know about them. AS is one of the best bands i've ever heard. I do not throw the word "underrated" around easily but i think it fits them perfectly. They've always released consistent and fucking awesome material. Though i'd really wish if they could pump out one more SOS-like record. John Bush is among the very best voices in metal and has seriously not lost it at all. Its always a huge pleasure listening to him.
I’ve heard of Armored Saint but I never listened to any of their music… until I saw them open for W.A.S.P. in Denver on November 5th. As soon as Armored Saint finished their set, I went out to the lobby and bought a shirt. Now I’m going through their albums. Safe to say, I’m now a fan! And it’s funny because I knew who John Bush was because of Anthrax… but I didn’t recognize him until the guy sitting next to me at the venue told me that the lead singer of Armored Saint was the lead singer of Anthrax for 10 years (knew it couldn’t have been Neil Turban and obviously Joey Belladonna has been in Anthrax longer than just one decade, so it was easy to put two and two together). But listening to Armored Saint is also making me want to revisit the John Bush era of Anthrax. I always remember that era being super underrated, even though I’m not much of an Anthrax fan. Armored Saint was AWESOME in concert. They opened with this song and I was IMMEDIATELY impressed. The whole band was vibing and everything John Bush did vocally and stage presence wise were effortlessly awesome! The twin guitars were also very impressive! The bassist was heavily audible and interacted with the crowd for like 95% of the show! The drummer was absolutely flawless. That show was absolutely flawless. They were the perfect opening band for W.A.S.P.
dude, Armored Saint is huge and legendary. I was not shure if I should go to see WASP but when I found out A.S. is there too I bought a ticket right away. The band may be not as big as some other famous names but they are on the same level.
@ I became an instant fan by the time John Bush tore into this song. Like I said… I went into the concert never heard a single note of their music and came out of the concert buying a shirt. If UA-cam allowed photo comments, I’d send a picture. It’s the one that has the red knight with angel wings on it with the band’s logo and the back says “YES, YOU’RE MADE OF ARMOR AND SAINTS WILL CONQUER!” Now I have all their albums on my iTunes library and kicking myself for not getting into them sooner. Better late than never, I suppose.
That was pretty freakin awesome. 36 years and runnin. Love these guys. They set a high standard in metal way back when I was 17. Love listening to these guys. AS rules!!!
One week ago it was Stryper with "Make Love Great Again" and now Armored Saint with this amazing new tune. I´m in heavy metal heaven! I can´t thank you guys enough for keeping up the flame!
Saw these guys in 87 with Helloween and Grim Reaper headlined...Dave Prichard on guitar, maybe one of the last times he ever played live. I’ve been a fan since day one, these guys are true metal to the core with a head banging beat always. Love love love this band, forever a fan. Another incredible song/vid. Support this band and get out to see them live ...when ever that happens.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILLER ROCKING FAST TUNE. The lyrics are so timely and brilliant. Truth! I preordered Special Edition CD/DVD plus tshirt bundle this morning from Metal Blade this morning. They're my all time favorite band tied with Priest. \m/
these guys have never failed me!!! for the past 40 years, always putting out the BEST in straight out metal...one of the original foundational metal bands...this just made 2020 a much brighter year!!!!
To be honest guys! THIS track convinced me that John Bush can nail it like during the Anthrax days with "We've come for you all". Great song! Can't wait for the new album.
I’m really digging these new Armored Saint songs! I really liked there previous album so I’m sure the new record is going to be just as good if not better! It’s great seeing your favorite older bands still making good music!💪🏻🤘🏻
What a great song. When I think of metal bands with the best vocalists I think Priest, Lost Horizon, Crimson Glory...but damn can John Bush sing. Probably the best voice for metal. Great song.
remember hearing these guys practice and we all agreed they were gonna make it some day. then came the shows. They haven't lost a musical step. great song.
It’s great to see these bands 38 years later still making music and being just as good or better than they were in the 80s. I recall the first time I heard many Metal Blade bands featured on the Metal Massacre compilation series. A friend and I used to walk, with ghetto blaster blaring Blizzard of Ozz or Diary of a Madman, a couple miles round trip to World Records weekly to dig through all the vinyl looking for album covers that reached out at us. Metal Massacre covers were some of the best. We’d buy one and make the trek back home and spin it up. Bands like Malice, Cirith Ungol, Metallica just blew our minds. At 14, if it was loud, rebellious and guitar driven, we were all in! After hearing these bands, we’d go back and dig the vinyl again looking for those bands. Many were just starting up so, full albums were rare. But bands like ARMORED SAINT would release EP’s in 1983 and that all black album with their giant red logo was never snatched from its place in the “A section” so fast. When I got my first car in 1985, a 1979 El Camino, the very first upgrade; an ARMORED SAINT sticker smack in the middle of the rear bumper. Armored Saint has been with me since 83. During the late 80s and early 90s the Saint and I were off to far away lands to war and conflict. Pressing play on my Walkman with an Armored Saint cassette inside would help set my frame of mind before entering into combat and then decompressing after. Armored Saint was part of it all, right up to this very moment and they will be, til I can listen no more. Thanks John, Joey, Gonzo, Phil, Jeff, (R.I.P. Dave) and Brian S for bringing us not just Armored Saint, but all the great metal for 38 years and counting.
The best band on Mother Earth . Glad to see you live before the C took over the world. What a fantastic song . Can’t wait to hear the album. Fan since ..... EVER
this song nails it for me ,i have listen to this song about 100 times in he last 72 hours and i want to hear it againt thank you armored saint see you at the show
Takes me back to Symbol of Salvation 🔥🎸🌃🎸🔥 - crushing and lyrically it couldn't be more true! The guys are on point and really looking forward to this release.
Lyrics:
End of the Attention Span
Foot apart
Must be contagious
Oh so close but something divides us
That’s us
We’re lost within our screens
We want to stop
Move on to the next thing
Feeling trapped and the cavity’s growing
That’s our starvation for routine
Concentration oh please
That’s just an overrated inflated commodity
Power’s drained and that spells the end
Attention
Dissipating slowly eroding end
The end
Of the Attention Span
That spells the end
Attention
Depreciating anti evolving end
The end
Of the Attention Span
A great night
At the performance
Massive stage lights in abundance
That’s us
We’ll watch it through our screens (God!)
Sidetracked
Fed a distraction
So pissed off is the artist’s reaction
Our fleeting moment gets careened
Concentration what give’s
That’s just an overrated sedated commodity
Power’s hacked and that spells the end
Attention
Dissipating slowly eroding end
The end
Of the Attention Span
That spells the end
Attention
Depreciating quickly regressing end
The end
Of your Attention Span
A new norm
Make the adjustment
Every eye humanity’s descent
That’s you
You’re watching through your screen
Reject
Life moving forward
I question that better is backwards
And one idea is to convene
Concentration is time
Just an overrated sedated commodity
Power’s dead and that spells the end
Attention
Dissipating slowly eroding end
The end
Of the Attention Span
That spells the end
Attention
Depreciating strongly rebelling end
The end
Of my Attention Span
Thanks for lyrics
Thanks!
Thanks
Hey, thanks!
Thx
John Bush has such a great voice for metal.
Metalica wanted him to sing for them he turned them down. I believe his best work was with Anthrax the sound of white noise
Yes knot so much with anthrax
One of the best
Yeh, he has a great voice. I saw him live twice, once with Armored Saint in 1987, and then again with Anthrax in 1998.
Saw him with Anthrax in Milan in 1993, during the sound of white noise tour. Goose flesh!
Bush here.
This rules!! Thanks to all the Saint fans through the years. Couldn't happen without you!!
Dude, you guys KILLED it. What a jam!
That was awesome! Congrats!
This one is amazing- watched a few times already! pre-ordered the album
thank you, sir! new music from Armored Saint is a bright spot in some very dark times! Be well~
eager for the whole album! thank you guys
Imagine being this good 35 years into your career.
37 since they debuted, but you´re right this some good stuff
@@SASTORM Imagine being Priest and putting out Firepower 49 years into your career. Digging this song, though!
hell yeah! they always bring it
I have found these guys just get better with age. Ever since Revelation, they've been on fire!
No doubt🔥
John Bush hasn't lost anything from his voice. Awesome.
Totally agree!!
2nd only to Randy-O !
just kidding
John Bush has one of the most iconic voices in metal history.
Steven Tyler with balls
I always thought that too,and Lizzy Borden💥
Been listening to Armored Saint since high school, in the 80s, and they NEVER disappoint. Here's hoping they're around till the end of time.
Absolutely fantastic. Veteran bands seldom make anything good in modern times, but this is just as good as metal was in the 80's.
John’s voice has given me goosebumps since 1990 , this band is so consistently awesome , so glad I got to see them with WASP this year!!!
How can an 80's metal band be more relevant than 99% of new metal bands.This sounds fresh and inspired....
Pelle d'oca ogni volta che rilasciano un album: mai, MAI deluso. La classe di Bush è fuori dai parametri mortali. Amazing every time they release an album: never, NEVER disappointed. The Bush class is out of deadly standards.
Good morning Phil here to the watch party!
What a great song. I just love your playing!!
Phil-absolutely fantastic
Hey Phil! This is durt hed, love this!!! Keep up the great work 🔥🤘🤘🤘
Love you Phil. Killer guitar work as ALWAYS! Love the lyrics and video. Timely. True! I preordered the special edition bundle from Metal Blade first thing when I got up today!
This is great. Can't wait for the full album.
Good to see an original metal band still relevant pumping out great music
One of the best metal tracks of 2020
John Bush has a powerful amazing voice especially created for metal. Great singer!
I love the guitar sound on this entire album

Abdofknloutely!!!!!
Not really. They look more like the American version of Accept. A good band without that "je ne sias quoi". :)
@Robert Swickard It's not a competition mate. Both exceptional bands really deserve the title
There are few bands that do not let me down, with song, lyrics, attitude. Bow down to Armored Saint!!!
Thank God you guys stuck with YOUR FORMULA!! It ROCKS!! Nothing Generic here! True Original Metal RULES!! Long live Armored Saint!!
It can't get no better than this..this is so tight ..Rise of the Saint...Armored saint is back....come on live shows
Just found out that my attention span is longer than I thought - watched this to the end.
🤣🤣😎😎
I find that good music does that
Te-he...well played!🤘😎
@@robertplante8858 I'll take you word for it \m/
The irony!
I've been a metalhead for 35+ years but have never taken the time to listen to Amored Saint. Now I've heard this, I have a lot of catching up to do!
yes...yes you do!!! They were one of the foundational American metal bands!!!!!
Welcome to the Saint familia 🤘🏼🤘🏼
They're one of the most underrated bands ever. Start from the beginning and enjoy the ride, dude.
Start from the beginning
Oh man you missed so much go check em out now \w/
These guys can really write great songs...Saint Rules
Thank God we still have Armored Saint. Buuuuuuush!!! Also bought this album on vinyl via Metal Blade website because I’m old school like that.
This feels so fresh and made my day better. Armored Saint rules.
Perfect voice and the lyrics are spot on to this reality. Love this.

This band is so underrated!! Love them!! Joey and John are two great musicians that don't get enough props!!
This track is great! Armored saint just keeps getting better and better!!!
Pandemic or not, you can never stop the march of the Saint!

I first heard the Saint when I was 13 (1983). They have been my favorite band since.
I grew up loving this band and didn't even know they were still at it.... awesome.
Preach brother Jonathan 💯🔥⭐🔥
The saints are allways at the top of the game, one of my favourite band since the 80s
Better each time.
BRILLIANT!!!!!
If it wasn't for the fact that I can get up and listen to Armored Saint everyday, I wouldn't even get out of bed!
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILLER ROCKING FAST TUNE. The lyrics are so timely and brilliant. Truth! I preordered Special Edition CD/DVD plus tshirt bundle this morning from Metal Blade this morning. They're my all time favorite band tied with Priest. \m/
I saw them open for Quiet Riot 1983. They had armor costumes back then.

To be honest guys! THIS track convinced me that John Bush can nail it like during the Anthrax days with "We've come for you all". Great song! Can't wait for the new album.
John Bush still has that 90's power metal vocal approach.
Awesome!
Welcome back Armored Saint
I've been a fan of Armored Saint since the early 80's and this album sounds awesome again.
Jamás se debe subestimar a una gran banda.
Never disappoint and always deliver. Can't wait to get the cd. Pumped!!
