#234: John Bush (Armored Saint, ex-Anthrax)

Legendary frontman John Bush (Armored Saint, ex-Anthrax) joins us
this week to discuss the early days of Armored Saint, their goal of
getting signed prior to playing 50 shows, Mike Piazza’s favorite
track by the band, the writing process for classic album Symbol of
Salvation, the stories behind the Anthrax records he performed on,
his approach to writing lyrics with a broad appeal while remaining
honest, and how he would love to play Win Hands Down in its
entirety in 2025. Meanwhile, we create an ad for the new Twilight
EP, discuss System of a Down touring without a new record, how
System have managed to become both critics' darlings and fan
favorites, and what it's like to watch bands perform when you think
they hate each other on stage. Songs: Armored Saint - “Dropping
Like Flies" Armored Saint - “An Exercise in Debauchery” Learn more
