Joey belladonna RESPECT !❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍📢🎼🎵🎶

They are right. Bush era Anthrax was a completely different band. SOWN is still one of my all time favourite albums. John Bush’s vocals are just sublime.

You can tell from watching all these docs that Joey was always a bit of an outsider in the band. It sounds like he was a more mainstream Hard Rocker guy but then ended up in a Thrash band. AND it was an amazing combination.

John Bush has a great voice and style. Super cool guy in interviews. Glad he did these.

Never understood the 'fan' competition between Joey and John. Both are excellent. Circumstances aside, they both contributed to amazing records. SOWN, Stomp, Vol. 8 and WCFYA are terrific. SOWN is one of the great metal records of the 90s. And the cover of Ball of Confusion with John and Joey is ridiculously good and works on every level.

John Bush, if you are reading this, I love you man

"This Is Not An Exit" and "Potter's Field" are two of my favorite Anthrax songs........EVER.

One of my favorite era's of Anthrax. John Bush' voice is insane!🤘

The best anthrax álbum. The lyrics the riffs the Voice Jhon sounds like lion

Joey once again a King amongst Men. He's the most Down too Earth, Thankful and Gracious I have ever seen in a World Wide band I believe. There is No Me with Joey it's always Us and Team. Respect.

This is my favorite album by Anthrax. Every song is great.

Anthrax has always done well with Joey. With Bush one good album and then almost dont exist for 10 years.

John Bush with Anthrax = pure power

Weird to think that Joey's second stint has been longer than his original tenure.

I love both Anthrax bands. That being said Anthrax was the only Big 4 band that remained awesome in the 90’s.

Admit it, by 1991-92 the music world changed. Underground/ Alternative Rock (aka Grunge) exploded & a new revolution in music was happening. Anthrax wanted to blend in with times, so it was "out with the old 80's singer & in with a new modern Vedder, Staley or Cornell like frontman". (there i said it 'cause they won't)

Frank is right. Two singers, two different versions of the same band. And I am a huge fan of both!

This feels like a therapy session for the guys. Good on them for talking about it openly.

There were no awkward moments. Fucking Bushthrax was some of the best fucking Anthrax. EVER. Scott's writing and John's vocals... MASSIVE! I love Joey, and there would be no Anthrax of our youth or today, without him, but John's era was phenomenal, through and through. The energy. The edge. The fucking delivery, man... I'm currently driving 5 hours one-way for work and Bushthrax carries me there and back. Thank you Anthrax and thank you John Bush for giving me more than I ever could return. I love you guys. And we get John with Anthrax and Armored Saint is FORFUCKINGEVER. And yes, we love you too, Joey.

Imagine a world without Only Safe Home or Poison My Eyes ...... I don’t want to . Anthrax had two great eras .

Anthrax' black album. RIP....after this they became a shadow.

This album was soooo underrated. One of the best start to finish. Hands down

I really hope someone combines all of these episodes into a cohesive documentary.

This album was my intro to Anthrax. Still remember my friend bringing it over to my house and playing it for me. I love the John era of Anthrax (as well as all of Joey's runs with the band) and the band did what they needed to do to stay alive and thrive in those changing times.

This album is f'n epic . So damn crunchy .it elevated Anthrax to a new musical level.

I've been an Anthrax fan since Fistful. But the John era was just so special. It was pure magic. I would love to hear John preform these songs again live

John Bush is what got me into Anthrax, the music kept me with them...not too fazed about Joey..he's ok...but Bush...the man's voice is gold. The fact that 2 of the big four wanted him as their vocalist speaks volumes.

Anthrax managed to have two legendary singers over their history. If you love both era's it is so rewarding. John is my favourite vocalist of all time.

John Bush just comes off as such a down to earth cool guy, would love to just sit down and chat with him for awhile.

Gotta respect that they’re covering the whole Anthrax history ... Including awkward moments like these.

Frank Bello at 11:40 said it best. Two versions of the band. This is their finest album with John Bush.

One of my favorite albums!

These guys were twisting themselves into pretzels for the first five minutes, trying to explain why they made the change, and none of the answers were clear.

Maybe one of the few bands that both vocalists era are awesome🤘

It was a weird/great period for music at the time. Too many bands to mention, the majority of them great. It was almost like the change had to happen, but I remained Team Joey. And when he came back it was all for the better.

I literally just got done listening to this.... it is 1 of my all time favorite albums of ALL GODDAMN TIME... I LOVE JOHN BUSH!!!!!!!

My youth was with Joey and it was really hard for me when he left. I bought SOWN but it just wasn’t the same for me. I agree it just became a totally different band that sounded amazing, I just loved the stuff with Joey way better.

@8:28 Lars is calling his lawyer: "They have focking used our footage"

SOWN is my second favorite album from Anthrax, ATL number one, I love both eras, but I really started to love rock and metal in the 90's so that's why the Bush era is very special to me, Only was my companion throughout the decade I really love that song!, ...

I came onboard with Spreading and stopped listening after this album dropped. I had it and liked it, and saw them tour for it but it just didn't grab me. I rejoined with Worship and I can truly say that for me Anthrax is Joey.

In my opinion. The sound of every album made with John Bush was the perfect choice for that sound. Every album made with Joey was a perfect choice for that sound. That is from Fistful of Metal to For All Kings. We do need another album, I would say. I have them all.

I am sooo addicted To this YT series 💪🤘🎸👊♥️

Today's Anthrax is THE MOST CREATIVE of ALL ANTHRAX... FOR ALL KINGS is a GREAT LISTEN FROM START TO FINISH...

MY FAVORITE ALBUM NO DOUBT ,,,,from BRASIL keep going

I was disappointed at the time. I liked the Sound Of White Noise but it wasn't the Anthrax I was used to. And I was totally happy when Joey came back!!

Love this album. Listened to it every morning on the way to high school when it was first released. ‘I bash my head against the wall every day....you bash your head against the wall any way!’

The first Anthrax album I ever heard, and still my favorite. Sodium Pentothal, Invisible, Room For One More, This Is Not An Exit...so many killer riffs and songs

The lukewarm reception and begrudging respect from everyone in this video kills me. I'm with the commenters here. My first Anthrax album was Attack Of the Killer Bs. If it weren't for SOWN, I'd have forgotten them as a novelty metal band. I know nobody's ever gonna see this. Nobody's ever gonna read it... but this album is so fundamental to who I am. I lucked into a promo giveaway CD of this band covering Cowboy Song from some Canadian record store promo during this album's promotional cycle when I was a kid... and learned all about Thin Lizzy. I had multiple copies of this album die when we used to cram CDs into visor wallets in our cars Back in the Day. What'd I do? I bought another. When I committed to digital music, and kept 10 CDs, SOWN was right there with my Thelonius Monk CDs. I learned about so much music. I found things I still live by today- If you say it mean it, if you mean it do it- Action is the air you breathe is a GODDAMNED TRUTH in my life to this day. I was 15 in '93. I'm forty-mumble today. It took me a long while to realize that Invisible spoke to both people I knew, and people on a grand scale... but the lesson was there early. Albums are time-and-place, I get this. This was quite possibly my one critical album in that regard, and I get that it wasn't that for a lot of people... but man. as albums that deserve better than resting in Potter's Field, loved by few, forgotten by many go? This heads that list for me. Call it the best Armored Saint album, or not the Anthrax you loved. Everyone accepts it was something different than what they expected... and to me that's the best part of it. I found Persistence of Time because of this album- NOT the other way around. Among the Living taught me about Judge Dredd AFTER I loved SOWN. I didn't even know how to be Metal Thrashin' Mad behind the wheel until after I'd spent an entire summer with this album on loop driving around! Im glad I have something special to me... but man, it's like expecting a girl to love a movie because you grew up with it. It kills me that nobody seems to get it.

The John Bush era is when I first heard of Anthrax way back in middle school. Immediately became a fan! When I learned of Wikipedia, Anthrax (band) was among my first searches and that's when I learned there were other singers! Went to seek out every album! Took a lot of visits to a lot of music shops but I got 'em! Still a fan of Anthrax to this day, 20 year+ fan, even have the logo tattooed on me!

I've been an Anthrax fan since Among the living... And I know this isn't going to be popular, but its just true... Sound of White Noise is my favorite Anthrax Album. Nothing personal against Joey Belladonna, I love Joey... But the truth is that album just would NOT have been what it was with Joey singing on it... John Bush is amazing on that record... and it gave BRAND NEW LIFE to the band in my opinion. I love everything they've done since Joey's back in the band, and I'm glad to have him back.. but I wouldn't trade Sound of white noise for every other album they ever made put together. I just think it's got the perfect mix of drive, groove, power, and Johns Vocal just fits it like a glove... Its very close to how I see the 94 Motley Crue album... This is the thrash metal version of that for me lol.

This whole singer change video should have been by itself. White Noise is one of the best albums ever, and it wasn't even talked about.

PoT switched me on to Anthrax, but White Noise was the album that hooked me for life. That was a GOOD summer for me, soundtracked by that album. The first time I saw the band live was promoting White Noise and it saddens me I'll never hear them play the songs from it again :(

Sound of white noise is a masterpiece in my eyes highly underated

Some many great things to comment on here. Joey is so gracious. John is humble. The other fellas commenting on the situation from their heart. It had to be tough on everyone. I think we as fans are so lucky to have both versions of Anthrax. Personally, I was into Armored Saint before I even heard of Anthrax and I love Armored Saint to death so for me to get the voice of John on four Anthrax albums is priceless as a fan. For me, John is up there with RJD, Dickinson, Halford and Tate. I was more thrilled when he got back together with Saint (and Joey back with Anthrax) but I’ll always treasure those four Anthrax albums. Everyone seems to like SOWN the best but I think it is their weakest (not that it is weak by any stretch of the imagination) with John. The intensity of 442 and the perfection of Vol 8 and WCFYA are top notch, IMO. Thank you Anthrax for putting together this awesome video series. Y’all seem like such a bunch of super swell, down-to-earth guys.

I don't know about you guys but to me, John Bush era is the next level at the time. His voice took them off in the 90s

A great chapter for Anthrax, an awkward one for this show.

What a weird time... Introduced to Anthrax with POT and spent the next couple of years absorbing everything they did... next thing you know Only comes out, and hey, that's different! SOWN remains a favourite for me, but almost feels like a side-project... John is a legend, but I'm glad Joey is back behind the mic where he belongs.

That's right, kick out your biggest asset... But you live and learn.

Awesome record! John made Anthrax serious act and I liked that. Great frontman, voice that kills. John had everything. Pot and Sown are the best Anthrax-records.

Love anthrax but really love the John Bush years. Phenomenal live performances every time I saw them. I hope they don’t fly through these years and give them the amount of video episodes they deserve. Have a few for each album as the last albums did. Please !!!!!

Love the John Bush era! Fortunate to see anthrax live several times with Mr. Bush. Love that anthrax continues to change, evolve. Best of both worlds with armored saint punching the sky and for all kings with Mr. Belledonna.

Love Joey, Love John, Love Anthrax, Love Armored Saint! Metal family 4 life!

White noise is easily my favorite Anthrax album.

I still listen to john era anthrax atleast once a week. Some of my favorite music ever made. And john if you read these,thank you. Thank you for doing this with anthrax. THIS is what i was waiting for.

The rise of grunge and the explosion in Metallica's popularity must have had an effect on their decision at the time. John Bush is very talented and I like some of the songs they put out over the course of 4 albums, but the fact they are having a bit of a renaissance with Joey again at the helm, says everything to me. Joey is Anthrax.

John Bush was on fire for this so was everyone! Fantastic album way ahead of its time!!👌

Have to be the best Album for me....every single song pure gold!!

Joey is Anthrax voice not bush .. I’m so glad Joey came back

This album is a masterpiece! Stop 🛑

Early Anthrax was my favorite band at the time. They are one of the best live performance bands hands down. Might be against the grain, but I did not like any of the Bush era albums. I tried talking myself into liking those albums since I was a fan. I bought SOWN when it came out. Didn't like it. Never bought another album of theirs until Belladonna returned. I saw them live 3 times since. This is Anhtrax🤘

One of the most unique sounding metal albums ever made I think...

The thing that's really interesting to me is that there's so much emphasis on how different the two versions of the band were but while that definitely came more into view on Stomp, Volume 8 and WCFYA, to me Sound of White Noise is so clearly a direct progression from Persistence of Time in so many ways. The aggression, the darker riffing, thrashy songs like Potter's Field and 1000 Points of Hate and the groovier numbers like Room for One More all share this clear throughline to what was happening on Persistence imo. Big part of why I love the album even though I'm a little more middling on the other John albums.

I appreciate you guys addressing Joey's departure in this video but I'm still left wondering if you guys - like Queensryche, Motley Crue & Dokken, for a few similar examples of bands who hit it big in the 80s and tried to "go grunge" in the 90s - were blindsided by the rise of alternative/grunge and that's the real reason you felt you had to change your sound and ultimately fire him? Joey's a very melodic singer with quite a quintessentially "80s" voice (I mean no disrespect by this, btw - I love his singing) and I wonder whether you felt you had to be grittier in order to keep the band alive, and that's the reason he got shown the door?

Anthrax is my favorite band for the last 35 years. I love everything they've done! Among the living and Vol 8 are two different records that will never leave my heart. Just masterful pieces of music too me.

Stomp 442 & Volume 8 are amazing records. I don’t care what anyone says. Inside Out is probably my favorite Anthrax song. At least in my Top 3

I get how it's weird for everyone now, but getting John Bush into the mix was the right move at the time. Scott wasn't satisfied with Joey's performance on persistance and was pushing for a darker tone, it became obvious Joey wasn't in the same headspace....so yea, it worked out like it should have. They should be proud of that era with John. TSOWN, Stomp 442, Vol. 8, WCFYA are all good albums

I love the Joey albums. Love them. But the Bush albums matter to me. They got me through high school. Every tough time I’ve ever had I’ve turned to all of them-White Noise, Stomp, Vol 8, WCFYA-hard, angry, aggressive, only Bush’s voice could have carried those albums, and I listen to them more than anything else, Anthrax or otherwise. I love both singers, but what John Bush brought to the band completely transformed them in such a powerful way.

My first Anthrax album and I LOVE IT!!!

Sound of white noise was difficult when it came out. A good challenge, I can see why the guys wanted to go to a new place. I'm glad I saw them with Joey, though :)

I enjoy all of the 3 singers that sang in this great band. It took me a while to like the Bush era, but now I totally love the albums he is on. I can't wait till the episode where they talk about The Greater Of Two Evils album, because he did an amazing job doing the classics, but especially the Neil Turbin material. I hope one day soon all three singers do a tour together. It would be a dream come true.

Most under rated anthrax album imo it’s my favorite

Only is in the top ten Anthrax songs of all time!!!!!

Remembering Milano 2003, John Bush telling to the audience " I m not related with W. Bush " great Anthrax performance. BEST Charlie's drum solo ever!!!!

Sorry, this is where I checked out.

The VH1 behind the music is here And is calling bs on Scott. Scott then said Joey’s drinking had gotten out of hand and they weren’t getting along.

This is the BEST Anthrax album....and one of the greatest metal albums of the 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im a huge Anthrax fan, but not the Bush era. At all. I was so dissapointed by see my favourite bands selling themselves... In those times was unpolite to say "Im a thrash metal fan". It was almost forbidden. You could only say you're a "music" fan. Bands like Anthrax lost identity and aproach to grunge. Im proud of saying i allways remained a thrash metal fan, i had a thrash metal band during the 90's, and still today Im an old school thrasher! Allways against the tide! Im so happy Anthrax are back, just wanted to see again Danny Spitz in the band! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹

The Joey era was great, the John era was great, and they both fit in the band. My ears are just a little more in tune with John and I've always loved his distorted, but clear, vocals. It's tough when a band changes what is such a big part of their sound, but I feel Anthrax got less backlash than Iron Maiden and were still able to continue to gain fans. The change was almost comparable to Van Halen.

I just preferred the John Bush era personally, and Anthrax live were so much more intense with him aswell, Noise and Stomp and WCFYA are bona fide classics that more people should have checked out that I hope they decide to now if they haven't 👍🙂 And John singing the older stuff live was brilliant and had an edge to it

Anthrax is the one metal band where I want two vocalists. I want John Bush and Joey Belladonna together! Their vocal ranges are different, so they could harmonize well. And then having back and forth vocal lines between them would be amazing!

Revisited this album again the other day, still holds up!

Yeah, with Joey going I went too. Came back to em when Joey returned. It’s only now I’m listening to the Bush albums, off the back of this series. Still not convinced.

best album, best era…

Sound of White Noise and Persistence of Time are my favorite Anthrax albums - and I can’t pick a favorite between the two. To me, each is the pinnacle with John and Joey, respectively.

John and Joey made them totally different bands. Not just the same band with the different voice, but a different band all together. The attitude, the playing style, hell - even the logo was changed. That’s why Anthrax gets two spots on my top 10 bands list.

Stomp 442 is my favorite Anthrax album. Blew me away first time I heard it. It was exactly what I needed when I needed it. I was feeling like rock was dead at the time and then this cd picked me back up.

I love John Bush's era 🤘🏻

Sounds is one of the greatest albums ever. I'm glad they're talking everything openly.

I've always wanted to ask Scott and Charlie if it was Pantera and Phil more importantly that gave them the spark to push the music especially the singing in a different direction.

When Frankie said in an interview on WSOU before this album came out that they had “finally learned how to write songs” I figured that was the sound of another thrash band trying to sell out.
