All those who know Armored Saint will agree that the band has never had the success or the recognition they deserved. And yet, both bassist Joey Vera and vocalist John Bush, the two leaders and main composers of the combo, don’t really seem to care. On the contrary, they fully appreciate their good fortune: over thirty years after their debut, they still have fans, are still able to release albums and enjoy full artistic creation. Their new album, Win Hands Down, is the epitome of musical success. Five years after La Raza, which was also lauded by the critics, the band comes back victorious.
We met the two musicians to talk about the record at length. And since Armored Saint releases are few and far between, we wanted to take the opportunity, with this very long interview, to also talk about the band’s state of mind, the way they look back on their career, the way they work, as well as Anthrax (with whom John Bush played for thirteen years), Fates Warning (Joey Vera’s other main band, which, in his own admission, helped him evolve as a musician and a composer in the 90s), and Motor Sister, Scott Ian’s new band, in which the bassist also plays.
Mince alors, on l’a oublié celui là !
