SOMETIMES WISHES DO COME TRUE
Thursday, August 20th, 2009 at 11:30am by Axl RosenbergRight after John Bush played what might or might not be a one-off reunion show with Anthrax, I wrote, “I’d love to post some footage of Bush performing a Bush-era song, but can’t seem to find any.” Well, the metal gods heard my prayers, and SMN News posted the below footage of the band doing “Safe Home.” And the quality of the footage is actually perfect – it’s not just some shit a fan captured on his or her cell phone! Band sounds good, too.
I have no fucking idea what’s going on with the Anthrax drama. I’ve had someone who works closely with the band swear to me that Dan Nelson is the good guy in this conflict, and I’ve had someone who works closely with the band swear to me that Scott Ian and company are the good guys. It’s not possible that everyone is being truthful here, so who knows.
Meanwhile, the lapse between the time since Bush played with the band and any kind of official announcement of his return tells us… also not very much. Are they just negotiating terms? Is Bush continuing to hold out while the band begs and pleads? Do they have him in a studio somewhere secretly re-recording Dan Nelson’s vocals for Worship Music? Again, no idea. I think the group is going to have make some kind of official announcement sooner rather than later if they wanna keep up this momentum, though.

Seems a little uninteresting really, i mean ive seen more intense peformances from iwrestledabearonce….well maybe not.
I didn’t know they got Fieldy on guitar…
win
A breath of fresh air, if you ask me, it’s really refreshing
Nice. Good footage. While it would be cool to hear the Nelson album (no, not those longhaired blondes) it would be great to have Bush back. And I’m not talking G.W.
LOL SCOTT IS DOING THE HARDCORE TWO STEP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG
Nice. Never been a big fan of this song, but they totally sold it.
I hate this fucking song!
New Armored Saint in 2010!
Is it gay if I got goosebumps during the chorus? Always loved this album.
Yes it is.
fav anthrax song!! get bush back
The quality was amazing. Reminds me of the Download festival.
Safe Home is a killer song off a killer album.
Anthrax needs more Bush.
the dude has to come bac thats there only choice i guess
So yeah, maybe it’s just because I read the Van Halen biography for the third time and finished it again yesterday (Ian Christe did a great job on it, btw), I’m kind of reminded of Van Halen’s Gary Cherone debacle, only on a much smaller scale. What Van Halen did was go onstage during the 97 VAMs or whatever it was with David Lee Roth, then soldiered on with Cherone, making the worst album of their career. I’m seeing things right now as, if they even TRY anything without John Bush, they’re fucked.
Also, completely unrelated, but I thinkScott Ian should sell his beard on eBay. It would look nice next to the “Gene Simmons’ Kidney Stone” on the list of weird rock-related body pieces.
All you guys are a bunch of fucking douchebag posers. We’ve Come For You All Sucks. Anthrax fucked up not getting Belladonna back. If you disagree you suck and should kill yourself.
Listen up you bunch of pussies!
There is no Anthrax without John Bush!
