John Bush Takes Us Inside Anthrax's 1990's Era | Exclusive Interview [30:20-35:24]

And he's on, he's on, we'll come for you all as well. Yeah, right. Right. There's right there playing a bunch of the songs the other day on Dimebag's birthday. Um, it was funny because I, I, I heard like six or seven songs that I'm on during the anthrax catalog that day. And a matter of like a few hours, I was laughing going, I don't, I've never heard myself this much on the radio as I have today on liquid metal. It's pretty funny. Any, any memories that you could share great stories around Dimebag? Yeah. Well, we had parted waves with dance bits after sound of white noise. And so we never really fulfilled that position as a, as a second guitar player until Rob Codgiano came back. Paul Crook was part of the touring and he recorded stuff on not only Stomp 442, but also volume 8. He also engineered some volume 8 and recorded a lot of my vocals, played some leads and to touring on those two records. And then Rob Codgiano joined on, we've come for you all. And he was kind of like the new guitar player. And he stayed after I left. But, but before that, well, we didn't really have the position kind of solidly locked in. So, I think Charlie had this idea or Scott or both. And that was to have Dimebag because we were really good friends and we had toured with Pantera, I think in 97, 98, to play a couple leads on each record. And it just kind of happened like he did it on Stomp and then he also did it on volume 8. And then we've come for all. It became like this thing, okay, Dimebag's going to play again a couple of tunes. So we would send him various songs and he would choose which ones he thought he'd be right for. So to have the stuff come back and listen to it and go, wow, there's Dime, but on an anthrax tune, it was really, really awesome. And then we ended up touring together, like I said, 97, 98 years. And he was just an awesome human being. He was just a full-of-life guy. Tons of energy. Just him and Vinnie both were just the real deal. Man, Texas boys at their core and amazing musicians. And to be part of a song that he's on is just an honor for me. So when I was hearing those songs that day, I was laughing going, man, it's cool to say my voice is on there with a Dimebag song. You know, a Dimebag lead, excuse me. And it's just great. He's a legend forever. He'll be immortal in music. And Pantera's playing today as a matter of fact, you know, as Angela's father. They are. But you know, and I get it, they're, you know, and now Charlie's in Pantera, which is so funny. But you know, they're carrying it on. And obviously there's a lot of people that never got a chance to see Pantera back in the day. So it is a cool opportunity for a lot of new people to see this band, even though it's missing, of course, the Abbot Brothers. Right. That's pretty cool. Charlie's just an amazing musician. Incredible. Great guitar player. A lot of people don't know that. Exactly. Whenever I'm a photographer, it's we met on that. But whenever I'm photographing anthrax and there's somebody who doesn't know anthrax, it's in the photo pit. And they're not taking pictures of Charlie because people tend to ignore the drummers, fortunately. Unfortunately, I'm like, that's the dude. Yeah, get him. Here's a pass, go on stage and get some shots from behind. Yeah. Yeah. He's an awesome drummer. Incredible. And he's like a great guitar player. And a lot of people don't know. He wrote a lot of those riffs back in the day. Yeah. I'm the man. I mean, excuse me, I am the law, you know, Indians in my world. I mean, he wrote most of those songs musically. Incredible. And another musician who was on the, I don't know what the collaboration it's held, but Roger Daltry of who was on the music. That was the one he did. Yeah, that was the one Daltry did. That was the one he did for we've come for you all. I wasn't in his presence when he did it because I was actually in New York recording and he was here in L.A. doing his part. But that was really another incredible thing to achieve to get Roger Daltry on. How does that come about? I think what happened, if I'm not mistaken, sometimes I'm challenged. I have a pretty good memory, but sometimes gets stuff gets a little foggy here. I think we knew a guy who was his assistant. He was like his personal assistant at the time. He was a friend of the bands. And so, I mean, usually it's Charlie or Scott. There's a catalyst for an idea like that. And they said, hey, man, see if Roger Daltry wants to do a part on a song. And so we asked him and Roger said, yeah, I'll do it. And it was cool. That song is like more of a rock song and it has this kind of like scream where it's I mean, it's not quite like won't get full again, but similar where he does it. Yeah, the end. And it's just vintage Daltry. And you know, it's awesome to have him be part of a song that I'm singing. He's singing. And even though I wasn't there, still that our voices are blended together and it's really, really cool. So I put out
