Sometimes regardless of best intentions things slip through the cracks of life; even in the world of music journalism. The following never-before-published interview with metal-vocal powerhouse, John Bush, took place in May of 2006 after Bush's departure from Anthrax and as he was in the process of welcoming a new daughter, running a non-music related business with his wife, and performing some live shows again with Armored Saint - the band he'd previously left to join Anthrax.
Despite the announcement of Bush performing a few shows again with former band mates Armored Saint there had been no formal announcement that Bush had rejoined the band, so just what was Bush's status with the band?
"Well I wouldn't say I'm officially back in Armored Saint. I'd say that what it is is that we have an opportunity to do a few shows, primarily in Europe. It seemed like something that would fun to do as long as that's what it is - the whole philosophy of doing something with Armored Saint right now is the emphasis would have to be on 'fun.' This isn't a job, this isn't a career, this isn't our future in terms of we're not getting the band back together and looking to conquer the world. We already attempted to do that when we were in our 20's and," Bush laughs, "things took a turn. But we were a great band, we made some great records, and we have an opportunity to play a few shows now - like I said some in Europe, and we're correlating that with a couple of shows in our hometown in L.A. and in Orange County, and we're doing one up in the Bay Area, and that's pretty much as far as it's gotten."
