"Long-term relationship" with John Bush best for Anthrax, says
Scott Ian
ANTHRAX will play the August 1 Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, England, with John Bush
(ANTHRAX's singer from 1992 to 2005) joining them for a very special one-off performance.
When asked if he, in the back of his mind, is hoping that the Sonisphere show might lead to
something more permanent with Bush, Ian told U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, "It's not in the
back of my mind — it's right at the front of it. When our reunion tour with Joey Belladonna and
Dan Spitz finished in 2007, we [Ian, drummer Charlie Benante and bassist Frank Bello] wanted
both John and [guitarist] Rob Caggiano to come back. Well, Rob returned but not John. Now,
though, we've Sonisphere to look forward to with him.

"I love working with John, and I know I speak for everyone involved with ANTHRAX — the band and the fans — when I say that the best
thing for us would for this to turn into a long-term relationship. But I don't want to jump the gun. Let's see how things go at Sonisphere, and
take it from there." (Courtesy of blabbermouth.net)
