In an interview with MetalInsider.net, ANTHRAX bassist Frank Bello says that he would be open to playing more John Bush-era songs with Joey Belladonna, also that he wants to make another album with Joey,and how he almost got arrested in Yankee Stadium at the Big Four show. A couple of excerpts from the interview follows:

Q: The band wrote Worship Music when Dan Nelson was the frontman. How much different is the album with Joey singing on it now?

A: "I think completely. For me, this is the Anthrax that I want to hear. To tell you the truth, I don’t even talk about the past. No disrespect to anybody. It’s so positive, what’s going on, it’s not worth anybody’s time. Some people are digging, ya know what I mean? I’m just in a good place right now with this band and where it’s at. Even personally, I think we’re all getting along well. So why would I even bring up the past? It was a negative time, and we went though all these bumps and bruises. But for me man, it couldn’t be any better right now. I’m so psyched about the future for Anthrax."

Q: I know it’s a little early to say, but do you think we will get another Anthrax record with Joey?

A: "Right now as we speak all I want do is tour the shit out of this record and promote it, because I think it deserves its own respect. It deserves everything we have, because it took so much out of us to do it. Look, I’m all for another Anthrax record, I think it’s a great band that we have together. I have a good time. I would miss it if it wasn’t here. But I don’t know about tomorrow. What I do know is that we want to support the hell out of this record. Put it this way: I want another record. I would love to do another record, but I want to give everything I have to this record first."
