After years of anticipation, legendary vocalist John Bush is proud to announce a special run of live performances performing the music he helped create during his decade-long tenure singing with Anthrax. This December, Bush will perform songs spanning all four albums he recorded with the band: Sound of White Noise, Stomp 442, Volume 8: The Threat Is Real, and We’ve Come For You All. “I’ve talked about doing this for a long time – and now, I’m finally doing it,” says Bush. “Fans constantly tell me how much those records meant to them, and how they miss hearing those songs live. It’s very humbling. The wait is over.” The setlist will include not only the well-known anthems, but also some deeper cuts that haven’t been performed live in years.
Joining Bush on stage will be his Category 7 bandmates: Phil Demmel, Mike Orlando, Jason Bittner, along with his long time Armored Saint partner and best friend Joey Vera on bass (Category 7 bassist Jack Gibson has a schedule conflict). “These guys are incredible, badass musicians, and it hit me – why look anywhere else? They’re already right here. It was a total no-brainer,” Bush adds. Category 7 will also open each night with their own blistering set before returning as his backing band for the Anthrax material.
This limited run marks a rare chance for fans to experience a vital era of heavy metal history – live, loud, and in your face. Don’t miss it.
