John Bush Interview - Anthrax, Armored Saint, & Category 7 [28:07-32:06]

because I think it's great material. Some there was some kind of errors along that way that were made in conjunction with some of the decisions that we made with touring. And not necessarily in the marketing of it, because we did make five videos for that record, which is really cool for a new band. And we are technically a new band, even though we're all veterans of the business. But I think the record's great. It's one of those records. I think people will be able to look back on 10 years, 20 years from now. But that was a great record. So what happened with it as far as the success level and people's awareness. And those are the kind of things that I can't really control. Anyway, believe me, I know of all my years in the business. I want you to make a record. You can't have to just let it go. You got to just go and hope for the best. And you gave everything you got. And that's how I feel about that. So, you know, it's always there. People can always go back and listen and look at those videos. And it's going to get a little boost here by doing these shows. It made sense to kind of piggyback off one another. So for these three shows, it's going to be great. And it's going to be fun. And category seven has been played in Chicago, outside Chicago, should I say, or New York or New York. So it'll be cool to play those two places. Only one show we've ever done was in LA at the Whiskey. So that'll be a repeat performance in a way. But it's going to be cool to be playing New York and, you know, microlandos from New York. So I'm sure he's really excited to play some town. Absolutely. Well, no, I'm definitely glad to see you guys are getting out and doing some shows that this is more than like a side project. Kind of things with a lot of people these days go and, you know, make an album. And it's just coming to get you to do it. But it's not really collaborative. What you're just described to me made it sound like. It's a very collaborative thing. It's a bad thing. So I hope you guys choose to do more. Yeah, it really is a good album. I mean, it probably would be a good idea to make another record. I mean, it's not something I'm thinking about today by any means. But then that would make it less, make it feel less than like it was just a project. And I know a lot of people, they don't like that word. I hear it from lots of people. Don't say that word. And they're okay. All right, that's all the side project. Yeah, I don't call it side project. It's a negative term, but I don't. Yeah, it doesn't bother me. But yeah, it bothers some people actually. Yeah, I know. There are some fans that won't give it a hundred percent their attention if they think it's not a full thing. Right. I don't know why. For me, if the people that are in the band, I like those people, then I'm going to follow them. It's just warm music for me to enjoy for my favorite artist. That's how I see it. And I saw a lineup for this. And I said, oh my god, we got to kill a little super group here fronted by John Bush. Why would I not want to? Yeah, right? I appreciate that. Thanks, Brandon. I mean, I don't know why why not listen to it. You know, who knows what's going to come out of it? And maybe something big, maybe not. It doesn't matter. It doesn't take away from the material. The material was great. Yeah, absolutely. Well, John, I thank you for your time today on this. And certainly wish you the best on those three upcoming anthrax shows that you're going to be well playing anthrax music. Let's call it down right here. And so again, LA, California, you're doing a show on December 13th. St. Charles, Illinois is on December 18th and New York City on December 20th. And I'm going to pray and wish that you do some more shows later on when your schedule opens up. But get out there for all the other fans to be able to see it. So I appreciate that brother come. I hope come to the New York show and say hello to me. And I'll make sure that we have a chance to say hello to one another. And thanks for all the support. Really appreciate it. Absolutely. No problem. And again, thank you for being here. And everyone out there tuning in. You can't make it to the show. But definitely go check out Category 7. And with John Bush telling us he's got a new armored St. Album on the way. Keep an eye out for that. I know I certainly will be awesome. All right, everyone. Take care. Have a good one. And we'll talk to you soon. Bye. Thank you, brother.
