In this episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with metal legend John Bush, focusing on his tenure as lead singer of Anthrax from 1992-2005.

In December 2025, John will revisit the very material he co-wrote and recorded with Anthrax in a special three-show series in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. In advance of these performances, John takes us on a deep dive through his history with the band — from joining, writing, recording, to touring.

John recalls first seeing Anthrax perform in the 1980s, and shares the emotional and musical crossroads he faced when the opportunity arose to join the band.

He talks about his earliest writing and recording sessions with Anthrax, especially on Sound of White Noise, Stomp 442, Volume 8: The Threat Is Real, and We’ve Come for You All.

Behind-the-scenes stories about working with producer Dave Jerden, collaborating with icons like Dimebag Darrell and Roger Daltrey, and the evolution of Anthrax’s sound during his tenure.

Touring tales, including his roots in Armored Saint, legendary tour back in 1985 with Metallica and W.A.S.P; being asked to join Metallica and the full circle moment when he joined them onstage in 2011 to play Four Horsemen.

John also gives listeners a peek at current plans with Armored Saint: a new album nearly complete, and upcoming shows including supporting Michael Schenker and W.A.S.P

This is a must-listen for heavy metal fans, especially those who love the stories behind the albums. John is raw, honest, and full of history. A true metal legend.
