Apparently gonzo messaged me and claims he invented the name himself despite the fact I see everywhere on the internet it came from the movie Excalibur. So yeah...
Bushs voice is amazing BUT he is not a great lyricist. This band could have been so much for so many reasons. The biggest reasons is that Bushs melodies and lyrics are not up there with the best bands of the era. Oh, and I love Black Sabbath. Also love Delirious Nomad. I still listen to the full album every now and then.
Saw them in fall 2000 in a small club. The place was poorly visited it almost felt like soundcheck. But they played an awesome long set full of energy like being a headliner in a sold out arena. One of the best live bands I have seen.
I loved Armored Saint, bought their first album based on the album cover alone (a healthy dose of teenage love for all things medieval might've had something to do with that!). Still love em to this day. Armored Saint is one of those bands that I can honestly say, "Thank you for all you did, and put up with, to bring us some great music over the long years."
Haha me too. I was just looking through albums on the racks starting with "A" and came upon that album cover and bought it without ever hearing them before. I also like the back cover with them on bikes Mad Max style. The name was cool too. I've used the name "Armored_Saint" in some online games.
Fucking LOVE his vocals!! I recently heard Punching the Sky on Spotify and had it on repeat and went, "this sounds like the good singer of Anthrax" after watching this, I was right! Love it!
@@user-ns7tv2li1u They don’t like his vocals because with his vocals the Anthrax’s sound changed. They stopped being thrash and sounded a little bit more like Helmet. I personally love Anthrax Bush era.
I agree. Sucks. I have Leukemia myself and I am in Remission from the great medicine we have today. It's sad that he had this disease back in the 80's because they have had so much strives in treatment for different types of Leukemia that bring promising results even if you are older. He was a Great Guitarist and missed dearly.
I just hope the documentary features Dave Grohl saying that when he heard Armored Saint it changed his life and Scott Ian saying Armored Saint is the most metal thing ever.
Right, Grohl shows up everywhere saying how much him and his pals liked metal. Well, so did I, and I played metal. It's in your blood. He played douchy music.
Armored Saint is the most underrated band in all of metal history. Bush is an amazing singer! His work with Anthrax is incredible, the best albums they ever made were with John on the vox.
Raising Fear is a banger. Remember watching them live on MTV Helloween ball or something and being really impressed by Dave Prichard. Bought the album after seeing them. Also killer cover of Saturday Night Special.
Dave was something else! I saw them in Eau Claire Wisconsin on their Nomad Tour. We talked a ton of guitar, guitar players and who we liked. He loved Gary Moore and George Lynch a lot. It’s a shame he left far too soon. He was real hungry on being the best. Thanks for the great memory!
A few people requested armored saint, BUT NEXT Week is all fan requests! Monday is going to be our longest video of the year so far! In the meantime use our google form to suggest future topics we cover! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCQjTcPGrzUbG7H7t4toQehliwBS_Fcp78JeY_js4zZbX2jA/viewform
John Bush's vocals are THE reason I got into Anthrax (Vol. 8) and when I recently heard "Punching the Sky" I had such a Nostalgic Overload and this video showed me why! Thank you!
I grew up in El Sereno a few blocks away from John Bush. Philip and Gonzo too. I’d hang out with my friends Henry and Danny Anaya. These guys would come by and hang out. They were all really cool and were good in sports too. I used to play baseball with them at Alhambra park. Glad to see their still going. Phenomenal talent.
I saw Saint open for Metallica...I was 16 and it will always be my favorite show. Dave Prichard came out and spoke to my buddy and I between sets, I remember him being a really a really sweet guy, very personable. I don't listen to a lot a metal these days but every now and again I will blast some Saint, even if it embarrasses my kids...
Dave Prichard's mom was one of my teachers in 7th & 8th grade. She was a very nice lady. The band actually came to my school on Career Day one year. All the metal heads were walking around with Armored Saint stickers for the rest of the day. 😂
Punching the Sky (2020) is probably the best album to date. One of the best releases of 2020. How a band can release their best work this late in their career is a mystery for the ages.
Delirious Nomad is one of my favorite metal albums from that time period. I never knew there was a story behind them. Thanks for the history of this underrated band.
I saw armored saint on new years eve 1983 at the orange show grounds in San Bernardino with Bitch and a couple other bands. It was called the new years eve metal massacre. 10 years or so later I saw them at Dallas city limits on the symbol of salvation tour. After their set ended I was outside the club smoking some buds with Phil from last crack RIP Phil. So a sweaty John bush came out the door to catch some air. And I had a little conversation with him . When I told him about the first time I saw armored saint . I mentioned the date of the show . Thats all. He told me where it was at and shared several memories of that night. Not only is the dude one of the best metal vocalists I've ever heard but his mind is sharp. And very intelligent guy. Most rock stars probably can't tell you where they played last night much less a decade earlier. this story has a kinda cool ending also. The next year I went to see anthrax and white zombie at fair park in Dallas. At that show John was singing for anthrax and Phil from last crack was the drummer for white zombie. Just a pretty cool story and memories I thought I'd share with y'all
Hellraiser 3 was the first time I heard Armored Saint, years later I heard the song on the radio and remembered how much I loved that song, I immediately tracked down the actual CD.
Thanks 🙏 So much for the UPLOAD!!!! Tremendous! Such a loss with Dave! Phillip Sandoval rejoining Saved Saint. When Jeff Joined From ODIN!! They have been together for over 35 years!! True Legends
I am so happy that this actual story led the YT algorithm to bring me Armored Saint's "Reign of Fire", because then I went into "Last Train Home" and "Frozen Will/Legacy". Completely thrilled to have numerous albums of stuff to go through.
one of my favourite . i listened to and still do this band since high school. i remember my old jean jacket with the sew on patches on it and Armored Saint was one of them.
Saw them a few years back in a small theater in Sellersville, PA. In addition to their other hits, they played the entire Symbol album, which is one of my all time favorites, so yeah... ps: I was front and center almost the whole show, and I can tell you: John Bush still has it! Fantastic show!
Great video. Armored Saint is a criminally underrated band and they definitely need more love and recognition. It’s great that you covered them. I’d really like to see you do a full length video on Corrosion of Conformity. Recently I’ve been listening to some of there earlier albums and again, this is a band that hasn’t received enough recognition.
I discovered Delirious Nomad back in the '80s. I told all my buddies about it, but I still can't believe how many people don't get it. Most underrated metal band ever. The whole album is terrific. Not the heaviest album, but it has such catchy melodies, hooks, terrific musicianship. I like their other stuff too, but that's my favorite metal album. I was so disappointed with John's stuff with Anthrax. His voice is just too good for that music.
If I remember correctly, James Hetfield tried to get John Bush to front Metallica when they were starting out. Fantastic singer I quite enjoyed Symbol of Salvation and Anthrax's Sound of white noise.
I still have and regularly listen to the original cassette tapes of March of the Saint and Delirious Nomad I purchased as new releases when they came out. Very underrated band and of all my metal loving friends in the '80s I seemed to be the only one who had heard of them.
dave Prichard was the coolest guitar player i met when i met the guy it was at a guitar clinic in la habra california bruce bouiliet from racer x was doing the clinic dave was just walking around he actually came up to me my brother and a friend and introduced himself to us and actually shared a story with us about how he used to stuff albums down his pants and walk out with them at the time i believe i was a freshman in high school didnt even know who armored saint was or that he was the guitar player for the band till he mentioned it to us i even still have the ozzy shirt he signed
Joey Vera joined "Fates Warning",and remained kicking a$$!His musical prowess among his other talents shine blindingly during his time with them.Above mere talented,Joey Vera is still in the music Industry forwarding his skills to bring his musical prowess out into this waiting hungry world toward our benefit and ent entertainment.
I toured with Anthrax through Florida with Bush at the healm. I always liked Armored Saint, and John was a really laid back, humble individual who had a great sense of humor. That tour had Rob Halford's band Fight as the opening act. What an awesome tour!!!
I saw one of their albums, "March Of The Saint" (?) in the early '80s. Short time later, they're opening for Metallica at The Kabuki Theater. Ride The Lightning times. Bought tix and the album which is probably gone. man, i remember more about the unannounced set from baby band Death Angel than Armored Saint. my loss.
Had the pleasure of seeing them on the Symbol of Salvation tour at the Bayou in DC. They were absolutely phenomenal live, and I'll never forget Gonzo's massive 'fro behind the drums.
Sorry to hear that they didn't like their producer, but I still give him props. March of the saint is a badass album. It established a certain sound to it that screams Armored Saint.
Saxon were also signed to Chrysalis and complained that the label fell short of supporting them (as much as Iron Maiden's label were supporting Maiden) because Chrysalis had gone all in with supporting their major act - Blondie.
Thank God that Armored Saint is still together and rocking as harder as ever. And BTW:Armored Sanit also put on an energetically charged awesome live show.
I have always liked Armored Saint. Symbol Of Salvation is a great album and it is their best. I was glad that John Bush went with Anthrax. I feel Sound of White Noise is a great album. I got the 2010 album of Armored Saint and my favorite song is Pay Dirt. I have always loved heavy metal.
" SANITIZED" WORD OF THE DAY KIDS.... CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS CHANNEL and its partnership with RUclips OFFICIALLY HAS REACHED 227K SUBSCRIBERS. Here's to 2021 . Blessings.
Armored Saint was awesome! March of the Saint is one of my fave albums of all time, regardless of whether it was the sound they wanted. Just my two cents.
Saw them open for Metallica at the Cameo Theater in San Antonio circa 1984 at one or their two sold out shows. At this small venue the show was up and personal for even those in the back where the Marshall stacks where no more than 50 feet away. Their live show kicked ass as did Metallica's set. John and the guys keep making music for us older and the younger generation of metal heads.
OK stop. Right there is a problem! March of the saint album, is what made me like armored saint!That album totally blew me away when I was 17. That’s the whole reason why I like Armored saintit it is because of that album. So symbol of salvation doesn’t even come close to touching March of the saint I mean hello anyone hello nobody’s home! John Bush and the guys somehow it went over their head they missed it! March of the saint was a freaking rocking album so was delirious nomad and so was raising fear! then they went downhill after that.
@@andrewptob The NWOBHM started in the late 1970's. Bands formed earlier are not classed as part of the movement except in error. The same applies to UFO, Motorhead, Budgie and Black Sabbath.
The early 90s were great if you were a John Bush fan! Symbol of Salvation is the greatest Armored Saint album and Sound of White Noise is one of the best Anthrax albums. I played the hell out of those CDs back then!! Great stuff!!
Can you do a story on rebel meets rebel and how that came about? I started listening to it after at least 10 years of not hearing it and it has a cool story about dime meeting David Allen Coe.
Apparently gonzo messaged me and claims he invented the name himself despite the fact I see everywhere on the internet it came from the movie Excalibur. So yeah...
The words Armored Saint don't appear in the movie. Gonzo came up with it after watching it, but it doesn't come directly from the film.
Also, most guys in the band hated the name at first.
One of the most overlooked and underrated metal bands of the 1980's.
Bush has one of the greatest voices in metal.
and it's held up so well. he doesn't seem to age.
Bushs voice is amazing BUT he is not a great lyricist. This band could have been so much for so many reasons. The biggest reasons is that Bushs melodies and lyrics are not up there with the best bands of the era.
Oh, and I love Black Sabbath. Also love Delirious Nomad. I still listen to the full album every now and then.
Bush’s vocals are still really good. His voice definitely aged well.
Bush has a great voice. I wish things would have worked out with him and Anthrax.
Just the greatest, period.
Saw them in fall 2000 in a small club. The place was poorly visited it almost felt like soundcheck. But they played an awesome long set full of energy like being a headliner in a sold out arena. One of the best live bands I have seen.
"I don't like Black Sabbath..."
"Ok....next!"
I loved Armored Saint, bought their first album based on the album cover alone (a healthy dose of teenage love for all things medieval might've had something to do with that!). Still love em to this day.

I did the same thing
Such a cool but underrated band. Really like Bush's vocals.
I think his time in Anthrax is really underrated too
Fucking LOVE his vocals!! I recently heard Punching the Sky on Spotify and had it on repeat and went, "this sounds like the good singer of Anthrax" after watching this, I was right! Love it!
@@alexanderball6326 The fans of Anthrax never liked John's voice but I think that he deserve more respect..

@@Carlos-xz3vi Helmet was a totally underrated group...like Anthrax with John Bush even they liked Stomp 442 or not...
Damn imagine going to the doc for acne meds and getting a terminal diagnosis instead. Hug your babies, people.
I agree. Sucks. I have Leukemia myself and I am in Remission from the great medicine we have today. It's sad that he had this disease back in the 80's because they have had so much strives in treatment for different types of Leukemia that bring promising results even if you are older.

Right, Grohl shows up everywhere saying how much him and his pals liked metal.
Well, so did I, and I played metal. It's in your blood. He played douchy music.
Armored Saint is one of my all-time favorite bands. Delirious Nomad really is a great album
Armored Saint is the most underrated band in all of metal history. Bush is an amazing singer! His work with Anthrax is incredible, the best albums they ever made were with John on the vox.
Yeah, he's a solid metal vocalist. And Joey Vera is an awesome bassist. Like John, he also turned down an offer to join Metallica.
Symbol of Salvation was a great album. Underrated by most people.
Raising Fear is a banger.
Remember watching them live on MTV Helloween ball or something and being really impressed by Dave Prichard. Bought the album after seeing them. Also killer cover of Saturday Night Special.
RIP David prichard he was a good guitarist.
And just an all around nice guy....
Great Guy As Well 🙏 LOTZA LOVE!!

John Bush's vocals are THE reason I got into Anthrax (Vol. 8) and when I recently heard "Punching the Sky" I had such a Nostalgic Overload and this video showed me why! Thank you!
Loved that song Bush did with Anthrax- Room for One More!

I didn't hear John Bush until he went to Anthrax. Liked his voice much more than their original singer. Dude has great pipes for singing metal

An equally tragic story is the death of Savatage guitarist Criss Oliva.
I dont compare the stories ( neither Metallica lose Cliff Burton ) cause Savatage found the power to continue...Armored Saint not...by the time...
Hellraiser 3 was the first time I heard Armored Saint, years later I heard the song on the radio and remembered how much I loved that song, I immediately tracked down the actual CD.
Thanks 🙏 So much for the UPLOAD!!!! Tremendous! Such a loss with Dave! Phillip Sandoval rejoining Saved Saint. When Jeff Joined From ODIN!! They have been together for over 35 years!! True Legends
Had March of the Saint on cassette. I was blown away then and they're still one of my faves
I am so happy that this actual story led the YT algorithm to bring me Armored Saint's "Reign of Fire", because then I went into "Last Train Home" and "Frozen Will/Legacy". Completely thrilled to have numerous albums of stuff to go through.
That first album cover gives Spinal Tap's Rock N' Roll Creation cover some real competition.
one of my favourite . i listened to and still do this band since high school. i remember my old jean jacket with the sew on patches on it and Armored Saint was one of them.
Perhaps do a video on Pete Ham and Badfinger. Speaking of sad endings.
Saw them a few years back in a small theater in Sellersville, PA. In addition to their other hits, they played the entire Symbol album, which is one of my all time favorites, so yeah...
ps: I was front and center almost the whole show, and I can tell you: John Bush still has it! Fantastic show!
John Bush is one of the coolest guys in metal music ! One of the nicest guys Iv ever met .
Love the 80s band coverage. Thanks bro. Great job
Dude these guys freaking rock. "Can you deliever!!!" God I love that song

Sound of White Noise is one of the best metal albums of the 90s.
Aftermath and the laugh are my favorite songs from them.. I think
Raising Fear is still my favorite album, maybe because it came out my senior year in highschool,great memories 🤘🤘
If I remember correctly, James Hetfield tried to get John Bush to front Metallica when they were starting out.
Fantastic singer I quite enjoyed Symbol of Salvation and Anthrax's Sound of white noise.
James even got John Bush up on stage at their 30th anniversary show to sing some 'Kill 'Em All' songs.
Joey Vera received an offer from Metallica as well.
I still have and regularly listen to the original cassette tapes of March of the Saint and Delirious Nomad I purchased as new releases when they came out. Very underrated band and of all my metal loving friends in the '80s I seemed to be the only one who had heard of them.
Same. I finally got to see them last year in Cleveland. He referenced the live album. Still sound great.
NICE ive been waiting for an Armored Saint vid!

Armored saint is my favorite band of all time!!! Thank you
Speaking of Joey Vera... how about something on Fates Warning?
Hell yes, I love that freakin' band
John Bush has the best voice in Metal hands down.
Love the Layne Staley pic
Sound of white noise with John Busch on vocals absolutely dynamic 🔥
I hope you do a vid about what happened with John Bush and Dan Nelson as vocalists for Anthrax.
I loved them as a kid but I only had their 3 Chrysalis albums. Never knew!
They definitely should have been much bigger. I loved seeing them up close at Wolf and Rissmiller's Country Club.
Sorry to hear that they didn't like their producer, but I still give him props. March of the saint is a badass album. It established a certain sound to it that screams Armored Saint.
started rockin these dudes 30 yrs ago..so underrated..saints will conquer.
Armored Saint rules!
Just saw them on tour🤘🏻
Wasn't joey vera a candidate to replace cliff burton in metallica
underrated band
Saxon were also signed to Chrysalis and complained that the label fell short of supporting them (as much as Iron Maiden's label were supporting Maiden) because Chrysalis had gone all in with supporting their major act - Blondie.
No doubt about that, for me raising fear is his best album, brutal, magnificent, john bush y dave prichard are on fire, great band.
Thank God that Armored Saint is still together and rocking as harder as ever. And BTW:Armored Sanit also put on an energetically charged awesome live show.
Delirious Nomad is by far, my favorite album.

Under appreciated. GREAT live band.
Saw them in 1984. Blown away
Way underrated band. Always been a Saint fan. Never got the respect that they deserve!
John Bush is the man. Great voice. Humble dude
Can you please cover Metal Church?
"Raising Fear" was their best, killer album!
Great band. I look forward to seeing them again live.
Only got to see them Live once. Back in the early 80's.But they put on a really good live show.
They never got the acclaim that I thought they deserved. I dug this band.
So, in other words, Armored Saint wanted to be an American version of Iron Maiden, but Chrysalis wanted them to be an American version of Def Leppard.
Chrysalis had no idea how to handle these guys.
@@10INCHCRUSHER They didn't know what to do with UFO, MSG and the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, but somehow they lucked out with Slaughter.
Armored Saint was awesome! March of the Saint is one of my fave albums of all time, regardless of whether it was the sound they wanted. Just my two cents.
Saw them open for Metallica at the Cameo Theater in San Antonio circa 1984 at one or their two sold out shows. At this small venue the show was up and personal for even those in the back where the Marshall stacks where no more than 50 feet away. Their live show kicked ass as did Metallica's set. John and the guys keep making music for us older and the younger generation of metal heads.
I remember this band growing up in Southern California. They rocked. 🤘🎸
a metal band formed by two brothers....can you name another? - love the Saint!
I loved the early 80s metal comp albums mega force and metal blade put out.
OK stop. Right there is a problem! March of the saint album, is what made me like armored saint!That album totally blew me away when I was 17. That’s the whole reason why I like Armored saintit it is because of that album. So symbol of salvation doesn’t even come close to touching March of the saint I mean hello anyone hello nobody’s home!

What's the song playing in the background? **Edit** In the Shadows by Ethan Meixsell
Trips me out that a few Chicano dudes got a killer band together that rocked. Awesome!
00:08 Judas Priest were not part of the NWOBHM. They're way older than those bands..
They started earlier, but doesn’t mean they can’t be included. When I think of British metal, I think of Maiden and Priest. 🤷🏻♂️
@@andrewptob The NWOBHM started in the late 1970's. Bands formed earlier are not classed as part of the movement except in error. The same applies to UFO, Motorhead, Budgie and Black Sabbath.
3:01 Layne!!!
I know! So awesome that he hung out w those guys.
I love the song "Can U Deliver" it is in my favorite Playlist that I put together.
Watch the Hell on wheels Halloween concert from 87 MTV special.
Armored Saint was awesome .
The early 90s were great if you were a John Bush fan! Symbol of Salvation is the greatest Armored Saint album and Sound of White Noise is one of the best Anthrax albums. I played the hell out of those CDs back then!! Great stuff!!
I saw them open for the Rollins band in 94. That was a bizarre pairing.
A record label that doesn't like Black Sabbath... Walk Away!!!
The new Saint album rips. Metal Rules
Would love to see them live someday.
Those Chrysalis records are awesome. PLAY LOUD
Can you do a story on rebel meets rebel and how that came about? I started listening to it after at least 10 years of not hearing it and it has a cool story about dime meeting David Allen Coe.
