John Bush "Joey should be in Anthrax" such a classy guy

Come on, guys! You can't just gloss over 2005-2010. The reunion tour, John Bush in or out, the brief departure of Frank Bellow and very brief tenure of Joey Vera on bass, Dan Nelson, and finally back with Joey. That whole period is a story in and of itself!

John Bush is a really gracious dude. He didn't have to say such nice things, he could be bitter, but he has nothing but love. Really cool

Did a good job explaining how Joey came back in, but would have liked a bit more on how JB exited during that time and what he was feeling.

I would've liked to heard more about the 2005 reunion with both Joey and Danny. As far as Dan Nelson goes, they probably don't dare mention his name in these docs for legal reasons. Anyway, loving this series. After they're done I might binge watch them all one day. I have to have surgery on my hand next week, so I probably have a couple good recovery days to do just that.

Wish we’d gotten a little more on the 05 reunion with Joey and Spitz. I know we aren’t going to get too much into Dan Nelson for whatever reasons, but that was a period where both Joey and John were out and we needed a singer to fill the void. I’m pretty sure there were a batch of countries who saw Anthrax for the first time ever during that period too. There’s a huge chunk of time missing here.

Honestly Joey sounds BETTER then he did in the past. HE was always good but now he is truly great.

I actually think Worship Music is their best record.

Did they take so long to release this episode as a metaphor for how long it took to release Worship Music? lol

At 20:09. John Bush being nothing but a class act here. 😊👍😝🤘

What John Bush said about Joey 👍👍👍 big respect, brought a smile to my face.

Joey coming back in 2010 was the best thing to happen to Anthrax.

Rob's tone and solos on this record are some of my favourite of all time! This whole record is awesome!

Was pumped for this episode, but there’s a lot missing leading up to this. Hope it gets covered

I was looking forward to this episode the whole time, to hear the interesting story of this album. And they sugarcoated/ignored the entire thing. Unreal.

I prefer Joey's voice since his return: a rougher edge and deeper tone but still a great range.

I love how John Bush gave the stamp of approval for Joey's return! He's the only vocalist for Anthrax!

I was landed when Joey was brought back a few years before the year mentioned in this video. He is my favourite vocalist afterall, but got to say what a classy gentleman Bush is for acknowledging that Joey belongs in Anthrax. Seen them do an amazing gig at Wolverhampton when Joey was brought back for his 2nd stint, was front row in line with Dan Spitz, who has also been overlooked for some reason leading up to this episode. Really thought it was the end for the group after the whole Dan Nelson debacle, so for Joey to come back a 3rd time, the rest of the band should count themselves very lucky. Don't begrudge them that though, because they had a shitty few years of bad luck from 'Stomp 442' onwards. As for 'Worship Music', I played it every day for a few weeks when it came out, although not as much as the other Belladonna era albums. Favourite track on there for me is 'The Giant'. His voice on that chorus (ably supported by Frank's backing vocals I think) gets me every time. What a tune! My top 3 are:- 1 - The Giant 2 - I'm Alive 3 - Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't

Worship Music was unquestionably the biggest surprise and comeback of the 2010's for me, and easily in my top 3 albums of the past 10 years \m/

Big 4? Anthrax has been THE constant for me. In my eyes, they are perfect. Always have been, always will be. Period.

It feels like there's an entire chapter missing here... I know Anthrax wanna keep it positive, but for purists, it's an intriguing part of the history we want to know more about. Besides that, it's been a great series so far. I fucking love this band.

Worship music is a MASTERPIECE, & frank is right,1st time I heard it I thought...THERE'S THE ANTHRAX we've been missing@!I've been a fan since day 1 & have been to about 15 shows & never am disappointed!🤘 But WORSHIP is one of the cds I Must listen to from start to finish each time

When Joey came back is when Anthrax came back. The proof is in Worship Music and For All Kings. These albums tower above anything that they put out in the 90s and 2000s. They NEVER should have fired Joey!

My favorite anthrax álbum, never out of my playlist

Worship music is an awesome album and it's my favourite Anthrax album.

I am so glad this series is continuing. I was getting nervous when a new episode didn't come out last week. 😅 This is the best music documentary I've ever watched. Here's to many more years of thrashing with Anthrax!

Joey cracks me up 😂 On everything: Yeah, it was cool, I just did my thing, it turned out good.

Did they totally forget to mention the tour they did with Danny and Joey in the mid 2000's?

Anthrax should b in the rock hall of fame

Joey's voice has matured magnificently. He brought a darkness and grit to this record that just blew me away. And I was a John Bush-era guy.

Still don't understand how a NY band plays their 40th anniversary in LA????? Maybe we will be lucky enough to see them in NY soon.

And here I am…40 years later…53 yrs…listening to them!

So many things not mentioned, and seemingly being glossed over, hoping fans don't notice.....Joey being fired the second time after the reunion tour, and finding out from a friend reading it online, with no explanation or reason why, from the band themselves. Anthrax needed him for the Big Four Shows, and he was right there, willing and ready to join again and help them back on their feet and move forward. Anyone who has ever met Joey, will tell you what a stand up, classy guy he is and one of the nicest musicians you'll ever meet! Not to mention his amazing vocals and energy he brings to the band! The band's continued success is thanks to Joey, putting his ego aside for his "brothers" and band mates. Joey definitely completes Anthrax and I hope the guys realize this, which I fear they don't, since it's not addressed in any way..

Surprised they skipped everything that happened from 2004-2009; Frank leaving briefly, the Among the Living reunion tour, Corey Taylor very nearly joining, the Dan Nelson period (though I knew they wouldn’t cover that bit), and then Bush briefly coming back. It took quite a more than was mentioned here to get to the awesome Worship Music album.

I remember from early 2011 to the late summer of that year was probably the least I'd ever played Guitar in my life and probably the closest I ever came to quitting entirely. However, when I first heard Worship Music, it brought back the same feelings I had as a teenager when first starting to play Guitar in 2004 (inspired mainly by Anthrax as well). Persistence of Time is my favorite Anthrax album, but Worship Music will always have a special place in my heart and mind for making me want to actually play again and devote time to the craft. Thank you Anthrax for the 40 years of music, memories, and inspiration and for plenty more to come in the future!

Worship Music is an amazing album, the songs, the production, all perfect. In particular In the End gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, epic doesn't cover it.

Worship Music is one of their top 3 albums EVER in my opinion. Among, Persistence and Worship Music are their greatest works

All I can tell you is that from the very 1st time I ever heard this band there was just some aura that I completely was locked in and I'm talking about all the way back to fistful of metal I don't know what it is the kosmos a higher power but every single time I put on any of these albums I'm amediately transported and when worship music came out I literally from the 1st note putting it on I had Goosebumps that's not hyperbole it literally was such an epic comeback sound production Joey it was and will always be the true anthrax and I'm so glad you guys are still kicking ass putting out music and crushing every single time I've seen you since the very 1st time in New York and then in my Hometown of Baltimore at the Seagull inn. I've never missed a show in my area And I own every album legally

Anthrax helped save Metallica back in the day. And Metallica helped save Anthrax many years later. That’s how a metal community works.

'I'm Alive" is a PERFECT song. Absolutely amazing. AMAZING.

Joey B is the highlight of the band. Always is and will always be the charismatic energy of this amazing band. 👑

Kind of skipped the years between We’ve Come For You All and The Big 4 shows… would have been cool to get the whole story on those years.

I can understand why they didn't do it, but ignoring the whole Dan Nelson saga puts a dent into the credibility of this series.

Have Anthrax and Armored Saint ever considered touring together? I'd love to see Bush and Belladonna together live.

Best goddam band in the WORLD! The day Joey came back was one of the happiest days of my life. I absolutely loved the John Bush era but he's 100% right about Joey just belongs with this band. Love you guys, from Northern Ireland (please please please come here some day so I can finally get to see y'all live) 🤘😀🤘

No mention of the album where Bush re-recorded a bunch of Joey songs, the reunion tour that caused Bush to leave, the Dan Nelson shit…what an in depth documentary

I remember buying Worship after hearing that Joey was back. I listened to it and as a long time Anthrax fan couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This was like their best stuff ever. Amazing. Goosebumps. Then came Kings. What the holy fuck?

I was so stoked when I heard fight em’. I couldn’t wait for the record. So I quit riding motorcycles, was careful not to slip in the tub, only drove 55 til the album came out. They could do a set list with just the last two records and that would be awesome. Not sure how they decide which ones to do. They just keep getting better!

I came home from the record store in 1984 with 2 albums. Raven’s “All For One” and Anthrax “Fistful of Metal”. At 24 I was already a Raven fan but had no idea who Anthrax was. I bought “Fistful” because the album art said “ This is brutal. Buy it, Bitch!” 37 years later…Anthrax is STILL my go to, krank it up, ride or die band. Last time I saw them live was in Orlando, 2018. I’m looking forward to seeing them again. And again. And AGAIN! 🤘😎

For an old school metalhead, this album was such an unexpected joy. So incredibly put together. Music, lyrics, production. It was so invigorating to me at that point in my life. Would really love more songs in the setlist. Would love a few NYC headline shows in the spirit of last weeks live stream.

One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life was Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax in Grand Rapids Michigan in 2010. Joey was back in Anthrax, Megadeth played "Rust In Peace" and Slayer played "Seasons in the Abyss" with Dave and Jeff still in the band. No opening acts, the beer was cheap and it was loud as hell. It was awesome.

This is the album that got me back playing music again.

Watching the trailer for The Big 4 made me an Anthrax fan! I was able to enjoy the excitement for the release of Worship Music, once the album came out I must heard it about 1000 times! Worship will always hold a special place in my heart

Worship Music is one of the Metal of it’s time. I still listen to it often

Would have liked to hear about some of the drama surrounding Dan Nelson's exit. Would love to hear the original version of Worship Music with Dan Nelson on vocals.

Very cool! I look forwarding kicking back tonight and enjoying this much anticipated episode!! \m/

This is far more enjoyable than any Metallica interviews, etc.

No mention of the 2005 reunion with both Joey and Dan Spitz? John Bush is a total class act.

Is it me, or did they completely skip over The Greater of Two Evils? I really love John's voice and getting to hear these classic songs rerecorded with him signing was awesome.

In the End...I get chills every time I listen to it. Lyrically and sonically...amazing amazing amazing!!!

Love this album & especially In The End! 😎👍

No- one in the history of metal has ever been as happy and charismatic as big Joseph Bell🛎 A Donna. He carried me through through the 80s -to the 2020’s even though they mistakenly sidewinded him. He’s the absolute absolute!!!

I went to 2 of the European big 4 gigs. Travelled from Australia to see the shows. Both super memorable for 2 reasons. The Czech Republic show - saw Scott do his famous ‘stomp’ mosh while playing; him slipping and slamming on the stage 🤣 first time he’s ever done that! Sorry Scott, but I laughed! And the Greece show - that country is stuck in a 1987 time warp. Raging, slamming pits for every band! Total madness! I was in my happy place. Haven’t experienced a crowd like that since the early to mid 90s when friendly violence was the norm. Those two days at those shows were fuckin’ sensational.

I understand why they glossed over 2004-2009, but I sort of wish they touched on some of the dark times a little bit more. But from their perspective, I'm sure it SUCKED, and they probably aren't ready to really rehash it. Talking about Danny Lilker in 84 is a lot different than things that happened in 2007, you know?

One of the Greatest Thrash Metal bands of all time...Love these guys 4ever.

This album has done so much for so many so many great songs. The Constant has always stayed in my heart the song is just so strong. God bless Joey❤️👑

Anthrax I ❤️ u thank you for all the years of fun hope life provides you everything you need

Watching these videos reminded me how much I love this band. I've been listening to them for so long I feel like I know them. I've seen them in concert more than 60 times and they live or hang out in Yonkers my home town. I just feel like they are the guys you see in the bar. Regular guys. God Bless you guys. Your music is intertwined with my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

After persistence of time this is my favorite Anthrax album.

I remember Missy Calazzo from when she was a DJ on WSOU. I got turned on to so many bands from that station. It was amazing be in that area in the 80s if you liked metal.

I truly can say i have been with you guys and seen you countless times since the very first album.. I still hear songs or see pictures and I'll flashback to a memory in my life , good or bad its still a great thing if that makes sense. Being almost 59 and not getting around to well those memories keep me from not forgetting who I am.. love your music , love you guys ,I'm sure you'll have more memories for me to add . Peace

This record means so much to me. I was at the Indio Big 4 show. I was at the Yankee Stadium big 4 Show. I saw them 6 times and met them THREE times during this tour cycle. They made me feel like i was a part of this video and this record. So many awesome memories from these shows and from this record. I cant believe it was 10 years ago.

Worship Music is my personal favorite album of the 21st century so far - of any genre. And I love the last Metallica and Megadeth albums, but this one is special.

I have to say I was floored with how much *BETTER* Joey sounded in 2011 than back in the day (and there was nothing wrong with his voice then). He has aged well and there's so much character in his delivery. The guy was born to sing for Anthrax. I'm glad they at least had a brief acknowledgement of John Bush, despite glossing over the 2003-10 years in this episode. Nonetheless, Worship Music was a powerhouse of a record that blew all our socks off.

Worship Music might be one of the best sounding albums I've ever heard! Especially nowadays, when every metal album has such a similar tone, WM sticks out, it sounds so unique!

So we're still not gonna talk about how Fight Em has the exact same riff as Gridlock off Persistence?

How can anybody dislike 👎 this video? Maybe those who preferred the Bush era of anthrax? I was like a kid at Christmas when joey came in for the among the living shows and the new albums. I've enjoyed every one of these anniversary shows. Fantastic documentary of one of my all time favourite bands and a trip down memory lane. Brilliant 👏

Greatest band docu-series ever. Loving it. You and Testament at the Wilma in Missoula, MT was beyond great, please come back.

Thats when a great new Era of ANTHRAX startet... I am there since the start, but you are better now than ever before

Finally!! The world was right again with Joey back! Awesome album!!!!

Love and Tons of Respect from Arkansas!!! Big Four? You Guys are Number One to me Thank You for putting your heart and soul out there for us all and never giving up!!!!

These just make me happy. I've loved this band since Fist full. You guys are the American Iron Maiden! 🤘🤘🤘

I met Joey in an airport back in 2013, and he couldn't have been any nicer. I'm so happy to see him back in the band!

In the End is a masterpiece. I really love that song!

So much info that I needed to know missed in this episode.

I loveee this album.

I love this record its a another masterpiece of Anthrax

When a band you grew up listening to is still releasing albums 30 years (2011) later, you have an expectation that you will get, if nothing else, a solid album. Worship Music wasn't just solid, it was a "Did I really just hear that?" album.

The first time I heard the Fight Em riff, it instantly brought me back to those iconic riffs throughout Among the Living.

In the end! I hear a super deep voice during the chorus! I think it is just me! I get massive chills from that song!!

I love this series. a cool move by the band and management.

That photo with James, Dave and Scott gave me chills... The riffmasters

Thanks for doing this series guys!!!

I am so glad I was able to catch Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax in 2010. Bands like these don't come to Hampton Roads Virginia very often if at all. I've been into Anthrax since the 80s and my Spreading the Disease backpatch that went on my jean jacket in middle school is still there to prove it.

You guys have kept me alive, thank you.

Thanks for these episodes guy's,( hope it's not over!! ) you mean alot to us🤘⚡💋

This is a great album! Love it! Tour was killer too.

Man, this album and For All King made Anthrax stand alone as my favorite thrash band. While thrash gaining momentum circa 2016-2017 with LP from Megadeth, Testament, Metallica, Overkill, Kreator, Sodom to name a few, For All King never left my playlist for a whole year perhaps. Just wish could see ya guys in Indonesia someday.

I love these guys so much.
