#anthrax #only #90srock #90metal
"Only is the perfect metal song"- James Hetfield
Also, remember, John Bush was sought out by metallica to be their vocalist back in '82 and he turned down the opportunity, instead choosing to stay with Armored Saint.
John Bush was the bomb in Anthrax I loved everything he did with Anthrax.
WCFYA!
John was good in Anthrax, but to me it made them sound way too much like Armored Saint. I like him better in Saint and Joey better in Anthrax.
He filled the spot perfectly at the time
@@brianj9262 At the time, I was like no F'ing way... then the tape didn't leave my deck for a month. It still holds up imo, by I can understand the generic grunge-rock feel someone now would hear.
yeah, same here
John’s voice is awesome and has not changed with age. He’s still singing today with Armored Saint and his voice is just as good.
@@patrickbateman7369 His voice is actually quite unique. He is like the Sinatra of Metal: he does nothing out of this world from a technical standpoint but he has this great sound. He could sing the phonebook and it would sound cool
WTF? John Bush has long been recognized as a premier metal singer, he's got a natural grit and one hell of a tone to his soulful vocals! The man, with that commanding tonality and unique phrasing was simply put on this earth to deliver killer, metal vocals! The main word to use when describing Bush is GROWL!
He has this gritty, rough tone which is perfectly suited for metal music! It's a top shelf GROWL! John can also do justice to slower, ballad type material. It started with mighty Armoured Saint, his distinct command of the mic immediately stuck out. Theres a reason Anthrax and yes, Metallica, wanted him as their frontman - the man has a gift that few share with him! 🎤🎤🎤
John made me like anthrax . This whole album is great and I do like Joey, but , with John they took it to the next level .
Love John Bush! His work with Armored Saint was classic! Still remember the first time I heard Can U Deliver in, what, 1984? Man, what a great song! I bought March of The Saint as soon as I found it!
I know it may not be as popular as the other songs from the album, but my personal favorite song from this album is "Black Lodge"
Black Lodge is FIRE! Shows Anthrax's range in material and Johns incredible diversity on the mic.
One of the best...Anthrax never did ballads, but they hit it out of the park with Black Lodge.
@@billvrabel1502 well, they did do one ballad, NFB, NiceFucking Ballad!!
Great song. All about twin peaks
@@davehirshman4256 I remember when I heard it for the first time back in the day, I said to myself "this is Twin Peaks", and holy shit there was Angelo Badalamenti's name in the credits.
Banger, this album is severely underrated.
ohhh exactly!!! this was a great album!!! one of their top in my eyes !!
I consider this one of their greatest albums. I know the purists might disagree but it was a great transition to their sound just enough to get more airplay. Scott Ian is THE riff God.
I so agree...anything with John Bush is great, but this album...gold.
Yessir! Scott Ian is a riff Lord, has been special on rhythm guitar from the jump!🎸🎸🎸
I respectfully prefer the Bush era anthrax.
Scott didn't write most of the music, Charlie did. Scott mostly wrote lyrics.
@@treff9226 Charlie was the main music writer in Anthrax, not Scott.
THANKS FOR HIGHLIGHTING OUR CLIP IN THE INTRO! WE APPRECIATE IT BIG TIME!
- Charles Blackshire of MIXEDBREED 🤘😎
I'm glad they did, that song is great! Checking ya'll out now!
Awesome song.
I will be searching you guys out, the clip is hot!
Sounded great and definitely caught my interest!
I plan to listen to more of your stuff.Here’s to your continued success!
Glad you're diving deeper into their catalog. Great band. Super nice guys as well. Bush is no grunge vocalist. He was in Armored Saint prior to this, and they were another 80s metal band. They went way darker with this album. If anything, grunge borrowed from Bush's vocals. Bush sounded just like this on the Armored Saint records.
Lol grunge was already on the decline when this shit came out. This was a sellout record and you know it. It's ok to like it. It's not objectively terrible or anything. It was a cash grab tho.
@@someonesusingmyname dude, this record came out in May 1993, only about 18 months after grunge "broke" nationwide. I paid zero attention to grunge but was a metal head and a fan of both Anthrax and Armored Saint. Grunge was just getting started in 1993, and Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden had tens of millions yet to sell. On the decline? Hardly.
FWIW - John Bush is STILL in Armored Saint and they're still putting out great music. :)
Come on they obviously tried to copy Alice In Chains with this one.
@Paul Kreugel really? Because I always thought AIC was trying to sound like Armored Saint, and that Anthrax took Armored Saint's vocalist and put out a record that sounded like a hybrid Anthrax/Armored Saint record.
I think there's kind of a "you had to be there" element with Anthrax. They were a breath of fresh air amid the self-seriousness of most thrash bands and the vapid silliness going on in mainstream metal at the time. They were the most punk of the big 4 thrash bands, and their embracing of hip-hop was revolutionary at a time when the only overlap between rock and rap that anyone had seen was Run DMC and Aerosmith doing Walk This Way. They were a pretty special band, but not necessarily in a way that's going to easily translate to 30 years later and a totally different context. Basically if you were a working-class young white dude in 1989 driving your shitty car to your job at Arby's, Anthrax was the rawest shit you had ever heard.
Hit the nail on the head. Ive thought about why Anthrax among the big 4 never gets the same level of respect these days, but everything you've said makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I view everything pre John Bush as the real Anthrax… and I’m not gatekeeping in the least… just like Metallica is their first 4/5 albums (depending on how you view the Black album)…
@@bradmotl2083I understand the sentiment, but I REALLY love The Sound of White noise. To me it was like they had unfinished business after The Persistence of Time. I actually prefer Johns vocals live to Joey’s when performing anything from that album.
Seen both singers multiple times and both are killer. Shockingly John has a greater vocal range than Joey, just not as clean.
After The Sound of White Noise Anthrax had a lot of misses. WCFYA was alright, not great though. Worship Music was a pretty damn good return to form.
If you haven’t listened to it you really should. Its a fantastic album
You pretty much nailed it. Sound of White Noise was a saving grace in 1993 to this 15-year old at the time, when everyone was riding Pearl Jam's nuts, and high school started to look like a very lonely and unfamiliar place.
John Bush is not a grunge singer, he spent most of the 80s in the metal band Armored Saint, and he was asked to join Metallica before they were big. He’s legit
His timbre is far more in line with most grunge singers than most metal singers, so I'll back their analysis there. Objection overruled.
@@alphaenemyplus8376 He’s a grunge singer that’s never been in a grunge band? Uh huh, sounds legit all right.
Maybe some grunge singers sound more like metal singers (mostly because that’s what they used to be, like Layne Stanley).
John Bush is as metal as someone can be in Armored Saint.
Found this album in a bargain bin back in the day, 3 or 4 bucks. Yes, please.
You guys should have listened to Room for One More.
exactly...Room for One More... it's a superb song
@@anbarazen I agree but if this song doesn't do it for 'em they're not gonna like that one either. At this point it's safe to say they're just not fans of the band's sound and just move on.
@@travistotle lol...true also brother... cheers
This is the most straightforward song on the album. It grows on you and was a great pick for a single. But the deep cuts are where this album shines. Room For One More, Hy Pro Glo, Sodium Pentathol and This is Not An Exit.
Anthrax can be a tough nut to crack, though. Their "hits" are decent but don't really tell the story. A deep dive is almost mandatory. Don't discount the newer albums where Joey has returned, either. It's the best Joey has sounded, period. And they're heavier than ever.
Yes, the best songs on this album and Stomp 442 are the songs that won't get enough recommendations from the masses. Maybe LIV could stop picking the top requests and instead go for the 4th or 5th. Being free thinkers and all...
Their biggest hits are cover songs. That said, Anthrax is my favorite of the Big 4.
@@AteThisYesterday Stomp 442 NEVER gets enough love. The album is an absolute BEAST. My favourite Anthrax record along with White Noise.
Keep it in the family! How has this not been pushed? Persistence is in my opinion early Anthrax peak. If your looking for their best you gotta check anything off their last two albums is killer, don’t do Anthrax dirty boys
Excellent song, that and Now It's Dark are my favorite classic Anthrax songs
I used to hit play and always listened to the whole c.d. with Persistence, State of Euphoria, and Among the living.
@@quinceykirkland1227 same for me, but for these guys they need persistence or the new material. I love Caught in a mosh but it’s not a song to introduce the band with. If they did Only first it would have been better.
Belly Of The Beast > Keep It In The Family
Scott Ian says keep it in the family is the heaviest riff of their whole catalog
I think James Hetfield once said this was the most perfect metal song ever written at the time. Glad you guys got to this!
He said it was "a perfect song", not the most ... Still a huge compliment.
By the way Hetfield always listed John Bush as one of his favorite singers, from the Armored Saint days.
John Bush's timeless vocals predate grunge by much! Heavy metal legends! [Nervous Man suggestion].
As for Anthrax, Keep it in the Family and Got the Time are the proper suggestions. Don't know how those fared over Patreon.
I've gotta wonder how they'd do with belly of the beast.
@@vicsdungeon agreed on keep it in the family and got the time.... love ANTRAX! Especially LIVE!
@vasilisvic4096 before we James decided to do it alone, they were planning on hiring him!
@@StuPedassol not just planning, they asked him and he refused!
The guitar solo suits the song so perfectly. I'm amazed this album wasn't more popular. Killer track. Charlie is a BEAST!!
This was that early 90s "If a band doesn't do what they done for the past ten years then we all say they sold out and went grunge" phase that a lot of metalheads got stuck in.
The solo is definitely the High Point of this song.
@@longbeach7623 the entire song is a high point.
I'm not a major Anthrax fan but the Sound of White Noise is a f'n monster
This whole album is good.
Bush era Anthrax was so good. The albums with him are so underrated.
I love John Bush's vocals
Generic
Metallica wanted him on vocals for a reason.
Agree. Armored Saint's Reign of Fire is one of my all time favorites
@@finger3181 It's funny, at one point both Metallica and Megadeth were trying to get singers for their bands and eventually both their rhythm guitarist's just said "f**k it, I'll do it myself!" For James, it worked. For Dave... if he had somehow managed to get his hands on John Bush rather than doing the singing himself, Megadeth may well have been bigger than Metallica.
I liked him in Armored Saint more than in Anthrax.
Between this album and the earlier albums im always stuck on Persistence of time. Love that album
Persistence Of Time was the best. And Joey was great on that album despite what everybody else thought.
Totally agree!
Agreed. Persistence is my fave album from Anthrax. The musicianship and song composition is the best they have done.
easily their best. yes, i know among the living exists
Because you never adapted your ears,you are stuck in the past like belladonna´s voice,the guy is still in 1986,Anthrax is more than that,they always were ahead of it´s time,so sad the members decided to betray John and bring back that dude again
Great album. You should have done Room for One More.
🤘🙂🤘
This is their best album. Potters Field is my favorite Anthrax song.
Worship Music and For all Kings were Anthrax's best albums imo. Joey sounds great on those albums.
Not their best ever, but their best in a long time for sure! Among the Living!
This was my favorite Anthrax lineup...this album and this song blew me away. John brought so much to the band! Grunge? John came from Armored Saint, early 80's band dude...he was pegged to be the singer for Metallica if you can believe it before James decided to be the singer.
Oh right, I forgot about that. There's a live version of Metallica with John Bush from some anniversary a couple of years ago where he sang The Four Horsemen and absolutely kills it!
Yeah, their reaction to this song was about as much of a miss as their opinion on it, lol. I don't mind that they don't like it. If you don't like it, then just say you don't like it, but they were just making shit up in their minds about why they didn't like it. It is true that they were trying to reinvent themselves and get away from the thrash label, but if they were trying to play grunge, they failed miserably, lol. Then they said that Joey Belladonna can't sing? Oh my lord, lol. Say you just don't like his voice. That's fine, but to say that he can't sing? That's just ridiculous.
One of the things that makes your channel so great is that you both provide an honest opinion. Please never change that.
John Bush isn't grunge! He's the lead vocalist of Armored Saint man!!
James Hetfield begged John Bush to be the lead singer of Metallica for years. Hetfield finally accepted being a singer around Justice and Black Album. And on a side note, this is also Hetfield's favorite Anthrax song
If you want a John Bush era song that’ll grab you, it’s Nobody Knows Anything. The drumming will make your heads explode.
Cadillac Rock Box or Black Dahlia off the same album too… oh, and What Doesn’t Die… Taking the Music Back… rad album.
Thanks for the recommendation. Not only did my head explode, but other parts of my body ruptured as well :)
Room for one more, off the same album
My favorite Anthrax album. One of the best metal albums ever, period. Bush rules.
Yeah, one of my favorites as well. I grew up listening to some Anthrax songs like Indians, and others etc. But I never thought Belladona had a good voice. John Bush sounds bad ass! Love this album.
Sound of white noise is my favourite Anthrax album....total killer album
Hey guys, tastes are different. I think the song is really great and it really grabbed me back then. I really like John Bush as a singer and always loved hearing him sing live. .he sang 5 or 6 albums with Anthrax and I like to remember those albums. Maybe you should listen to Room for one more, the song goes off...😊
John Bush started with the metal bans Armored Saint, a band that many metal heads held in high regard. He was not a grunge singer, though I get why you might think that. Fun fact - James Hetfield personally asked Bush to join Metallica as their vocalist. Bush declined as he wanted to stay with Armored Saint. Personally, I am not a huge Anthrax fan, but I did like this album from him.
I watched this reaction video with probably the most criticism as it played out lol that I have ever watched one of your videos again laughing at myself. This is my favorite song by them and I know how y’all feel about what you e heard and I feel the same on the other Anthrax stuff. The John Bush era was the Anthrax I enjoyed the most. I respected what I grew up on with Joey but the Bush stuff was the best. I REALLLLLY wanted you guys to like it. But fair is fair. Free thinking is what it’s all about!!!! Keep it going fellas
Same here man. This song was probably the furthest ever I've been off base with how I felt like these dudes were gonna react to a song in the entire history of this channel. Thought they were gonna LOVE this one. Oh well. That's probably why we're all different people. Still, love the positivity though and respect!
Same by far my favorite anthrax song and Bush s was their best vocalist
Startin Up a Posse. Hands down. And for the time it was on point. Was a serenade to Tipper Gore.
I love John Bush-era Anthrax, this album especially. He was quite a get for them as Metallica too once desired his services as a singer.
John is a metal singer. He has lead Armor Saint for years!!
A Perfect song.
-James Hetfield
Everyone's recommending old school Anthrax when Anthrax's two most recent albums, Worship Music & For All Kings, have been some of their best material they've ever released.
Grew up on the Joey years but this album really is something special with so many great tunes.
??? He has always sung this way. And I love this song and John Bush is an absolute great vocalist.
Y’all should check their Worship Music album from 2011. Great tracks to start would be The Devil You Know or In The End.
In the End, a fkn killer tribute to Dimebag and Dio 🤘
Bring The Noise with Public Enemy was a groundbreaking song that opened the doors for an entirely new genre of music. Anthrax was always pushing and supporting other styles of music outside of metal and for that mentality to not be in competition, but side by side with other genres speaks volumes regardless if you like them or not.
John Bush is my favorite singer he’s got a great voice
This whole album is 🔥
This could’ve been a big break but….idk
He was gonna sing for Metallica…
I remember buying this on cassette when it came out and not sure what to expect. It’s been my favorite Anthrax album since.
"Got The Time" and "Bring The Noise" (featuring Public Enemy) might redeem this band in your eyes.
Just to illustrate, in the 90s the following were released: Only, Cemetery Gates, Symphony Of Destruction, Smells Like Team Spirit, Would and many, many other songs that continue to have a different, captivating and indelible magnetism. Only is that kind of song... indelible.
DAM YALL HATED THIS LMAO. TEAM JOHN BUSH HERE. THIS WHOLE ALBUM KICKS ASS
Great bass in this song. John Bush ALWAYS sounds like John Bush. Great album. Brought this CD in when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. Great times!
ABOUT TIME YOU GOT TO THIS ONE GUYS. Now do Potter's Field and Room for One More from this album!
Damn. You know James Hetfield said this was the “perfect song.” John bush was also the only person Metallica asked to take over vocal duties. However, John wouldn’t leave his band Armored Saint.
This Band with John Bush singing ' inside out ' would've been the track to listen to, play list quality.
🤣🤣🤣 John Bush WAS grunge vocals. I get why you would think his voice is generic grunge, but his voice was one of the precursor grunge vocalists from the 80's. He just sounds like that lol.
Just please, let Anthrax into your heart ❤️ try a modern album next?
regarding metal and what you've both learned over the years, you now know more than most. Its brilliant to watch
To be fair, John Bush had been singing like this in Armored Saint for 10 years at this point.
As someone who prefers the 80s Anthrax (and Stormtroopers of Death), the problem I have with this song is the very by-the-numbers hard rock song structure that it has.
A 90'a' Grunge singer.?
John Bush was from the early 80's band Armored Saint. That's just his voice.😢
We need MASTODON | More than I could chew
Just saw them live last night and this song was absolute 🔥
The production is amazing. Dave Jerden produced this as well as AIC’s Dirt
John Bush grunge? Wow, never heard that before. Check out Armored Saint.
James Hetfield said this is the perfect song.
John Bush is awesome!!!
You guys really need to try them crooked vultures! John Paul Jones of led zeppelin, Dave grohl of foo fighters and nirvana then Josh homme of queens of the stone age! One of the greatest super bands!
How is nobody talking about that promo band Mixedbreed???? They were kickass!!
Be the change you want to see in the world, mah dude
Yeah, I was impressed with Mixed breed as well!
Anthrax has so many eras and moods, guys, you'll find something you love, I guarantee.
For me sound of white noise and persistance of time are the two best Anthrax albums
Masterpiece of a record!
This whole album needs played, especially black lodge.
You guys might like Armored Saint better. Last Train Home, Win Hands Down, Left Hook From Right Field, After Me The Flood, and Can U Deliver (a bit cheesy but their early claim to fame) are probably the standout tracks imo. Win Hands Down has the most perfect chorus and overall may be their best song, but Last Train Home is a really dynamic piece from before John joined Anthrax. Pretty certain you'll appreciate them over Anthrax quite a lot.
Where's Reign of Fire? Dropping Like Flies?? Hanging Judge???
@@VultureLivesAgain Hanging Judge!
Metallica wanted John Bush to sing for them in the very beginning!
This album was great
9:55 I feel like the reason why George feels this way is because the recommendations for his era of songs have been horrible. I love “Among the Living” but it might be Belladonna’s worst vocals on an Anthrax album. Probably because it isn’t a very vocal focused album. They need to listen to something off of “Spreading the Disease” to truly appreciate Joey’s vocals. I’d recommend “Madhouse.” That is their most beginner friendly song and I think they’d really like it. Their newer material with Joey is also excellent.
Totally agree with this. I think most songs from Spreading the disease they would like
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 Oh, for sure. That album is a masterpiece!
@@BlueDragonBot yep easily my favourite....not sure what happened to Belladonas vocals after that album but he was amazing on Spreading
the disease
@@BlueDragonBot he is great now as well
@@iridiumrockandmetalreviews2128 I think it was because the songs of Spreading the Disease lended themselves a lot more to Joey’s voice. Spreading the Disease was quite thrashy but Among the Living was a whole new level of thrash and I just don’t think Joey’s vocals melded well with that style. So he would often just resort to that “shouting near the key” type vocal style. The last two albums have been more of traditional style of metal and Joey sounded FANTASTIC on them! Don’t get me wrong though, I still love Among the Living, State of Euphoria(I know people like to shit on this one but I’ve always kinda liked it), and Persistence of Time.
My all time favorite Anthrax song is “One World”. Favorite album is “Persistence of Time”. Hands down
John Bush is from the band Armored Saint heavy metal band from 80's.
Grunge vocalist?? Noooooooo :D Man, the SOUL in John Bush's voice... This whole album needs a long reaction :D Love you guys!
And Metallics wanted John Bush on vocals
SoWN is an album that really needs to be listed to in its entirety.
Need to give Room For One More a try. Its on the same album.
Dude, it's a great song and all but if this one doesn't win em over that one isn't going to either. It's very much the same sound, style, etc. of this song. They don't like Anthrax.
John Bush was a metal singer for Armored Saint. I love the 80's Anthrax but this is one of my favorite albums of there's, it was something fresh especially since they had a new singer and Charlie the drummer was writing more of the music as well.
This song rules.
This album rules.
Persistence of time. Hell of an album
Potters field is def one of the best Anthrax songs from this same album
This was my favorite anthrax album and I think John bush was perfect for anthrax and he breathed new life into that band.still listening to the saint...they are still putting out awesome music!!
Try Medusa next…That has a groove that won’t quit
Joey era:
Belly of the Beast
Antisocial
In the End
Fight Em Til You Can’t
John era:
Cadillac Rock Box
What Doesn’t Die
Safe Home
Potters Field
This is Anthrax's best album and it isn't close. Great song. Also check out "Packaged Rebellion"
No, and you are wrong.
Solid album but not the best, I would say that Worship Music is a better overall album and is way more in line with the Anthrax sound.
@@joshuagonsalves3904 It's his opinion, which is a good one. Your opinion on the other hand, I think is shit lol
As someone who never got into Anthrax this sounded great to me. Absolutely dig the sound of this singer, and am interested in checking this album out.
Check out the album. I can understand your disinterest in the old stuff with singer Joey Belladonna. This albums with John Bush is awesome. But then again, that's only my opinion
@Rob Perez it absolutely sounds way .ore up my alley personally. Once I'm home from my vacation and am back in my car I'll pop it on for some drives lol
This was the first single from TSOWN. This entire album has zero bad songs. Try Potters Field. To each their own I guess. This is Anthrax best in my humble opinion.
bush was not a grunge singer, he was in an 80s thrash band armored saint. true fact before metallica got big they tried to get john bush to sing but he wouldnt leave armored saint
My favorite Anthrax album. Love the John Bush albums. Never cared for the Joey stuff.
John Bush is a pure Heavy Metal singer. He 's the vocalist of ARMORED SAINT. Not a grunge singer at all!
love the whole album, but Black Lodge would be my recommendation for next listen
Love the hell out of Black Lodge and the vid for it! Highly melodic and haunting, cool guitar phrasing and killer vocals from John! Nice mention🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤
Yeah, listen to a bunch and discover something in there that you like. There must be something. Thanks for giving them a shot anyway guys. I'd rather you tell the truth than pretend to make us all happy.
Anthrax is one of the groups that have managed to get stronger over time. Consider looking into the later albums.
Bring the Noise!
How have you not reacted to Hy Pro Glo?
Even though I was an Anthrax fan since the 80s, this song turned a lot of people on to them, as it actually got some radio play in Chicago. I still love it! The break down and solo are great!! I admit it does has a grunge feel...
The funny thing about John Bush's voice is he totally has a grunge vibe, but he came from a classic heavy metal band called Armored Saint😂 His work with them was much better. You're right, this record didn't hit with a lot of Anthrax fans. Their first record Fistful of Metal will always be their best stuff.
This is my Anthrax. Bush is just a beast
Anthrax is an acquired taste, regardless which era you're referring to. John Bush's vocals were a whole new direction from the Joey years.
I think you guys should check out "Bring The Noise" featuring Public Enemy.
The original Public Enemy track was good, but adding Anthrax was pretty cool and definitely got the song a lot more attention!
James Hetfield(Metallica) said that Only is a perfect song. Joey Belladonna is an amazing singer, he has sang the national anthem at lots of professional sports games. He is currently touring doing a tribute to Journey set. If he can sing Steve Perry, he is a great singer.
Damn, I had high hopes you guys would enjoy this one since it's so different from the 80's material. That's the beauty of these reaction videos, you've tried both eras of Anthrax and it's just not for you. I was initially hestitant of the Bush era albums because they were so different. But after a few times listening to them, I came to really enjoy them. I think you might enjoy some of the songs off the next two albums (Stomp 442 and Vol. 8- The Threat is Real). Bush does seem a lot more relaxed and there are some great songs on those albums.
