(antiMusic) If we go by Scott Ian's comments in an interview from the Kerrang! Awards podcast, it looks like an Anthrax reunion with John Bush is likely following their "one-off" reunion at the Sonisphere. At least the band that so easily let him go so they could reunite with an earlier singer, wants Bush back out front after they parting ways with latest singer Dan Nelson last month on the eve of a tour. When asked how the Sonisphere reunion with Bush went, Ian responded "It went better than I even hoped it would go. I'd been waiting four years for that moment that we had on Saturday to have John Bush back in the ranks, and it was an unbelievably, magnificently emotional hour of my life; it was really amazing."
The interview goes on with that theme for a while until the inevitable question about a reunion came up. Ian responded, "It's obviously what we want, and I think this is just hopefully the first of a couple of steps to make it happen. The show went great — we all had a great time; John had a f***ing blast — and hopefully this is now... the foot's in the door to make this happen again. But it's absolutely what we want to happen. I don't really see any other possibility."
Life lesson: you don't know what you got until it's gone!
