Anthrax: Bush to return full time?

Following the strange and confusing departure of new vocalist Dan Nelson (was he fired or did he quit?), Anthrax are to ask John Bush to rejoin full time as vocalist.

John returned to the Anthrax fold recently to play the Sonisphere festival with his former bandmates as they didn’t want to have to pull out of the gig due to Nelson’s departure.

According to Charlie Benante, Anthrax's drummer, the chemistry was fantastic and now they are seeking to talk Bush into returning permanently.

John was asked to leave back in 2005 so the band could tour with their classic era singer Joey Bellandonna. While the tour was a hit, no new material emerged until Belladonna was replaced with Nelson.

Now the band seem to be backtracking and want Bush back. John Bush is also the long-term front man of classic metal act Armoured Saint, but is mostly known now as Anthrax's vocalist following albums such as The Sound of White Noise and We've Come For You All.

My opinion? He should come back, but the band need to concentrate more on his contribution in future and not do away with him like before. He has an incredible voice that should really be appreciated.
