@fuckinthrasher666 Fuck yeah, I'm seeing them live January 29 in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I've never seen them live but heard they are awesome live. \m/\m/
funny thing is that Paul Bostaph once again will get to play tracks, written by Dave Lombardo :) Here's Nick Barker, true, but you can't deny the irony of Faith - Paul is the only drummer that can fit Dave's shoes without looking laughable :)
with such record nobody would seem 100%. they 'r just.. Testament. A milestone for metal bands. Sometime youtube does this but I still love the opportunity to choose to hear this stuff or not. Testament are producing always better stuff and IMHO The gathering and Demonic are authentic masterpieces. There are not a lot of bands giving me so much. 5 stars to the band 5 stars to the music 2 star to the record.
Awesome that they are playing stuff off The Gathering with Alex and Greg, who neither one played on the album. I ALSO like this album hella lot, though older Testament is the best.
Well my balls were smashing against your mommy's ass crack last night, perhaps you would like to clean mine off too. Well thats too bad because I'm straight hotformen...Im STRAIGHT. Take your sudo-homosexual comments elsewhere..you perverted moron.
i saw them play this when they opened for priest and it seemed like it went on for twenty minutes it was so fucking awesome, plus chuck shreds his mic stand lol
you guys are downing hetfield for not being able to sing like billy? well im pretty sure billy cant write rhythms like james haha and its pretty hard to sing and play at the sametime nevermind sing good, james does show shades of his old self on the new one
Testament is one of the best thrash metal bands, with extraordiaire musicians and high music level, exelent music, is my favourite band ever, personaly i prefer " the new order" album and "the legacy"
Testament is the best Thrash band around. although i personally feel the Ritual sucked horribly. But that was moons ago. As far as Chuck Billy being fat...if he was fat who cares but mainly the man is gigantic. his chest is like 2 normal people and dont forget that 60 lb head.
Isn't it odd, though, they would be willing to play stuff they didn't record with Chuck and Eric? I've never heard of this happening with any other band, where they would reassemble a previous lineup and continue to play stuff NOT recorded with that lineup. That'd kind of be like Ozzy's Black Sabbath lineup playing stuff recorded with Dio, or any of the others who succeeded him in the band. It IS interesting, though, that it sounds like the original lineup could have recorded it. Very cool.
You are right the the original lineup would have made it sound just as good. You might want to check out Slayer. They reunited with the original members and play stuff off of all of their albums. Also very cool since they wrote good stuff in both drummers.
They have? I'd have to see that too. Dave was the only one ever to leave the band, so I don't know if I'd call it a "reunion", per se. I'd probably refer to it as "Dave finally realized he was an idiot for leaving".

Wow!! Chuck Billy needs to back off from the buffet tables after the shows..he's not going to be able to fit on the tour bus.. he will have to get those cages that they put horses in and hook it up to the tour bus
but... metallica is the only thrash metal band of the 80's that let everybody down.. they sold to money and fame,... they are traitors to the metal scene and to themselves... just like kiss...
why does everybody think that metallica still rocks????.... better listen to testament...death angel...metal church... cryptic slaughter ...nuclear assault... slayer..Vio-lence.. and many other bands that are still true to what they belived in the old days..
dude I couldn't agree more with you I'm a huge Kiss fan and I know a lot of people still say they're back and better than ever, I just say yeah sure what ever and Metallica! same thing.
Ohh god, that was the worst fucking song I have ever heard.. Boring fucking druming (That you´ve heard in MANY thrash songs before), boring singer, and NO stage presence at all...
And btw, double-bass overall is for drummer´s that lack´s technique. Double bass should be something that you use very rarely, and when you use it, it should be in the exact right place... It´s not fun to see anyone just double-kick through a whole song.. That´s just an indication of a lazy drummer.
i see what your saying about the double kicks should be used rarely but if u think about it it's alot harder if he does it for almost 4 minutes straight and keeps the energy going..thats alot of stamina...i don't think its for lazy drummers because alot of metal drummers (any genre) use it and are good...like NILE, TESTAMENT, MESHUGGAH..and so on. And testament was awsome live! go c them live might change ur mind!
When I think about the fact that Chuck Billy is still with us, it makes me almost to believe in God. It's lucky that he survived that awful cancer. It's nice to see that Alex and Greg are playing the new sons which are worth it :)
And I would like to see Louie on drum stage again some day.
Dave is great but this is the much greater Nick Barker you're watching in the video. Good song, but if this is the most powerful thrash song you know, keep listening there's so much more to discover!
Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I got caught off guard by a Skolnik performance and went into a coma for the last 4 days. Seriously, Tears for Fears was edgier than Testament until Low came out.
Bad no, pop yes. I'm not saying pop guitarists don't have a place out there. In fact, I think Jake E. Lee is the best player that ever lived and he's all bluesy pop. But I definitely think Low, Demonic, and The Gathering were way better than anything previous.
lol stfu, your bias is oozing out of every word you type. Just because you prefer more of a death metal sounding side of testament, by no means is it better than other albums such as the legacy or new world order. Better musicianship, better solos.
but the drumming? the vocals? I love those records too but they got a lot better later. And not every solo has to have sweeps in it. Wait, did I just say that?
lol and what exactly got better? faster drumming isnt necessary better drumming, drop that kid's mentality on that subject. Vocals got better because he doesnt sing clean anymore?? its like comparing colors and claiming yellow is better than blue, stfu lol
For fuck's sake, Skolnik's day job is the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Jesus and Santa rock and all, but there's nothing metal about Christmas music. He's pop. Eat it.
