John Bush On Staying True To Armored Saint

John Bush, legendary frontman of Armored Saint and former Anthrax member, reflects on his enduring career with pride—not bitterness—despite never achieving mainstream fame. He’s thrilled Armored Saint is still making music after 40+ years, calling that his true victory. Bush rejects comparisons to Metallica or Iron Maiden, saying few bands ever reach that level, and insists his passion for creating music—not fame or money—is what drives him. His latest album, “Emotion Factory Reset,” produced by longtime bassist Joey Vera, marks their ninth studio release. Bush and Vera famously turned down Metallica auditions in the ‘80s to stay loyal to Armored Saint. The band was inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame last year, and their documentary “Band Of Brothers” premiered in 2023. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
