John Bush on 80s Heavy Metal Podcast: Armored Saint, Anthrax Talk [0:00-1:36]

Hey everyone, this is John Keyville from Warbringer, you're watching CNSTV. How frustrating is it for you that you put together literally a supergroup and it just hasn't hit the way I'm sure you guys thought it was going to? Well, I've always had low expectations at which I do about everything because that's just the way I approach stuff, but you know, the record itself kind of happened really naturally and just out of like, hey, let's write some tunes and then we wrote a couple more and the next thing, you know, we had enough for records, so let's just make a record. So it's kind of, to me, it was real honest from that perspective that we wrote some killer tunes and it just made sense to record and put them out just because you're a bunch of known guys doesn't mean you have an obvious success level that's going to happen. You know, there's still whole marketing and trying to convince people, is this a real band or what is this? Is this a project? That was a big issue for people, including people internally. And it was like, look, why are we worried about this? Like, let's just put a record out. I mean, I know there's the marketing aspect from the label and the management, but my musician and man, my goal is to just write songs and if they're great, we should record them and as simple as that. So that was my approach the whole time. The record got a great critical claim. I mean, James Hethel, so it was one of his favorite records and get better than that. So the reality is, is that it just doesn't mean you have a sure shot. You know, everybody is busy in this band. We had a lot of conflict scheduling-wise because everyone's doing other things because everyone's out of the bands. You know.
