Testament - Practice What You Preach

[MetalReaperDanielR]

HEADBANG NOW!!!!!!



[Arkanoidv3]

I love TestAmenT Solos ! this song is awesome !

[ResidentEvilRock]

If the world ever went to shit and it was like Braveheart and people were lined up to go at it, I would want Chuck Billy to be on the front lines of my team yelling the war cry! He would be THE best. What a voice.

[telheba]

excellent video ... thanks for sharing with us this material.

[Jasonconfused]

This video scares me because Alex Skolnick with short hair looks like my dad O_________o

[trollishmetalhead]

@Jasonconfused LOL

[MrEmokiller666]

Testament should replase metallica in the big 4

[Evanmonster1]

@MrEmokiller666 Couldnt agree with ya more! I saw Testament/Anthrax/Death Angel two nights ago, and I think Testament alone put out more energy than Metallica has in the past 7 years!! Ha ha!

[bfmvryan90]

@MrEmokiller666 Then it would be Slayer,Testament,Megadeth,Anth­rax in that order :D could you imagine that..MY GOD!!!!!!!!! :D \m/\m/\m/\m/ btw saw The Big 4 in NYC at Yankee Stadium fucking kicked ass amazingness..Slayer was my god all of em were..Metallica was ehhhh but still very impressive..But Slayer raped all of us lmfaooooooo :P MY first time seeing em..Also my 21st b-day present pretty sick man never will forget that day those 7 hours were EPIC!!!!! were history!!!!

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@bfmvryan90 dude I gotta agree I was there in the pit and had my friend hold my shit so i didnt lose it. almost lost her though haha. slayer killed it that night. Metallica was pretty good actually them and slayer IMO were the best. Megadeth and Anthrax were good but I was too busy drinking to pay attention to em haah.

[socialdef3]

I think Chuck missed a couple of notes...... hehe

[akudal964]

...and Casper as a backup guitarist...

[bkdlots68]

Chuck Billy is still awesome!!!!

[Metalmmo]

2 more motherfucking days till i see the legendary testament with anthrax and death angle WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! \m/ PRACTICE!

[atrthefallofideals]

i could listen to Chuck sing the alphabet song and still be enthralled

[marchrnoa]

Yea! on your way to Burque N.M . The Natives will show you a good time am i Chuck B !?

[pconley22]

@marchrnoa Fuck yeah! At the Sunshine with Anthrax! I'm going to that show

[Metalmmo]

I cant wait to see these guys, anthrax and death angle in mid oct! MUHAHAHA! \m/

[raidenlai]

The practice what you preach solo is imo one of the best solos ever. Skolnicks precision when he plays is unbelievable.

[000Mariat000]

I think I just came!

I've always wanted to hear this special and my favorite song from Testament anew. Hope they will make a new version/remaster it someday with today's sound/equipment!

That would make my day... I mean, Weak.... I mean... month... I mean, Year... I mean my f*cking life!! XD

[kenokurose]

Three people who speak loud and act like a shy bitch... PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!

[heartlz555]

3 people were pulled out of the audience by security.

[JerkItWithJergens99]

dude i so dig this fucking band most underated metal band of all time right here testament is the shit

[GREEKNICK13]

Testament fucking rule. Alex, let your hair grow!

[RonVonPyro]

Every-time Testament comes to Cleveland i hang out with them. Back in the day we would hang out and do some partying. Thats when Dave the drummer from SLAYER

what a good time that was. Now it's not like that we still hang out but no partying. Hay Chuck cant wait to you guy's come back to Cleveland.

[MrJaybird74]

greg is a great bass player

[MR26J]

go talk about metallica in a metallica video this TESTAMENT FUUUUUUUUU

[SGguy0425]

Why did he play the begining of the solo as the Burnt Offerings solo? bahahaha random but awesome :D

anyone else catch that?

[brucekirk89]

there is no new band right now that will still rock as hard as these guys at there and my age LOL

[zakk19872009]

every single pick of skolnick gives you the charge :Q_____ OMFG

[gcaptaincurry]

How can you not like Testament? These dudes have been Jammin for us a long time! And they sound just as bad ass live than in studio!!! Maybe even better!!! There's only a small handful of bands that good!

[juggalokilla222]

@gcaptaincurry the only band thats as kickass as testament live is Judas Priest. Nobody else even comes close.

[ElFrankus]

@juggalokilla222 I'm going to see both in two months time! :)))))))))

[Fuzzhead314]

Chuck Billy's roars could destroy all that deathcore crap

[Booond13]

@Fuzzhead314 oh yes! Chuck is one of the best vocalists out there and the spectrum of his vocals is just amazing. Deathcore is for pussies and kids ^^

[x3MagneticFire]

@Fuzzhead314 Could? You mean it does ;)

[downpeninsula]

Chuck Billy is one son-of-a-bitch whose voice isn't going anywhere... it's meaner than ever.

[uofm97]

@downpeninsula That's true, though you'd think the growling style he uses would've wrecked his voice by now. It's pretty stressful on the vocal cords.

[JacobKaiju]

@uofm97 not really, it's how you suck in air and release it through the diaphram (the area between your chest and stomach).

[connorgow]

@Fuzzhead314 anything with the word "core" at the end of it has to be fucking garbage

[Disturbed4Life99]

@Fuzzhead314 it does destroy it!

[stephenchan88]

i love Testament,  MEGADETH ,hate metallica

[shredtk]

I DARE somebody to try to say no, when Chuck yells at them, his kids would be some of the most obedient fucks in the world

[chronossive]

that solo...omfg that solo

[DeanBetamberine]

testament, tightest fucking live band i've ever seen! at download 2008 i thought, is this just a really good live recording that happened to make it onto CD?

nope testament just kick ass!!!

[RichardTaylor1800]

Testament, thank you for never degenerating into pretentious crap like Metallica or Megadeth did. You're loyal to your fans and they're loyal right back.

[tking1974]

Skolnick could play circles around Hammett and Mustaine, and Friedman, and Hanneman, all of them, the best guitar player out there

[metalmadness123]

@tking1974 Agree with Hammett, Mustaine and Hanneman but he couldn't beat Marty!

[FaggonDraggon]

3 people didnt pay the burnt bridge toll

[heavymetalheadcase68]

I.m 42 years of age and I grown up with this type of music, but i'll give that Testament, they have stayed loyal to their roots more than I can say for some thrash bands out there!!

[Tomthemetalhead]

Who ever those three people that disliked this video can stick those Thumbdowns up their Rancid Assholes

[Justplayfuckingmetal]

Big Seven would have Annihilator (even if they are canadians^^)

[cycoteddykgb]

@Justplayfuckingmetal I got to see Annihilator open for Testament in '89 Fucking awesome

[Hugoj33]

3 putrid gays

[jnsebas94]

Testament has three guitars...

Alex Skolnick on lead guitar

Eric Peterson on Rhythm guitar...

and Chuck Billy on Air guitar.

[TheTyler0953]

@jnsebas94 NO SHIT REALLY?

[jnsebas94]

@TheTyler0953 mm?

[tpbdragon1]

@jnsebas94 ahahhaaa.... and the mic stand looks like a toothpick..ok maybe a walking stick when he's holding it....what a huge man in person to meet

[iAMcooooooool]

@jnsebas94

Chuck's air guitar defines my very existence.

[kushal73]

@jnsebas94 im 98% sure Chuck Billy did some of the recording for the rhythm tracks on pwyp while the other guys were passed out, so yea Testament really does have 3 guitarists

[BigVOLdaddy]

seen these guys 3 times in the late 80's early 90's....another very underrated metal god right here

[eayottes]

I hope these guys get the respect they deserve... incredible and influential career!

[SurvivedAbortion1]

I love this song. its better than perilous nation but not as good as time is coming, great album overall.

2 people are faggots.

[ambituouspaok]

REAL THRASH FUCKING METAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[69Curtdog]

pinch harmonics and sweep picking at its finest.

[bigloaded]

Gibson Les Paul !!! pure crunch !!

[MarkSegalotto2009]

This is rock´n roll, the heaviest ever!!

[Wacke666]

Damn ... Chuck, Eric and Louie shure love HEAVY metal ... they all have become big boys. Only Alex and Greg are still thin, they're not as much heavy metal as the big guys :D Testament is fkn awesome!

[puppamelo74]

Skolnick is a genius! An True axe-man old style! Testament fuck-ya! Great band, great song!

[MorbidAzagthothDeath]

saw these fuckers with slayer!!! FUCKING AWESOME!

[Guitardude81597]

@MorbidAzagthothDeath dont forget megadeth they were all touring with each other

[crazyhawk59]

I just discovered Testament. What a great band!. I have loved metal for 30 years and am just now finding new bands. Thanks, guys, you fuckin' rock.

[dolemite64]

I remember hearing this song for the first and being hooked for months. To me Alex's solo is a masterpiece of composition in itself. Melodic, full of twists and turns and burning at the same time. I love all kinds of music but being in the Jazz idiom as a player these days I always go back to this solo so I don't forget the feeling that I first got listening to it. Thanks Alex and the Testament camp

[Studas2006]

this gig rocked and i met alex out the back door, he was scared coz i said pissed

[tatt4music]

Unfortunately there is alot of post production touch ups on this (live) performance.But Testament is amazing as always.They always have a great set list and keep the flow going through the whole set!

[VIZZICKS]

it's hard to see how good peterson is next to scholnick two of the very best guitarists in thrash and the band as a whole just keeps getting better and imo they were already the best the era had to offer when megadave and mettilicash were writing there sellout albums anthrax was writing rap songs and even slayer slowed down and made an album of punk covers Testament on the other hand wrote a death metal masterpeice(demonic) just sucks it has taken them this long to get the attention they deserve

[mettalic78]

Fucking great band; Chuck voice`s is better than ever.

[SHAUNFREAK]

alex is unholy!...fuck the 'power 4' shit......kickass song of the era FULL STOP..!

[SirBrittanicvs]

Man, Chuck has filled out a bunch. Gives him good power vox.

[ArchxEnemy666]

dang, chuck plays a sweet mic stand guitar, real clean, pristine, just magnificent , simply brilliant

[angusrules53]

testAMENt!!!!!

[LambofIronSlayer]

I'm sold. What's their best album going to buy it?

[Sjusovaren]

@LambofIronSlayer The New Order IMO. And I'm , of course, right. ;)

[Bang4URBux]

@LambofIronSlayer this one Practice what u preach

[soadratmetc]

Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick are a fucking awesome duo

[JesusFrankenstein]

why wasn't Testament included in the Big Four? that is a travesty, fuck that whiny bitch Dave Mustaine! long live Testament!

[ibanezzle]

@JesusFrankenstein they're playing on the canadian carnage tour together man

[JesusFrankenstein]

@ibanezzle yeah i know. i'm going to the LA show, bathroom time is when Megadeth comes on, lol

[christiannandres]

@JesusFrankenstein cause they are not sold out crap like metallica ,testament is not just part of the best but it should be on the top that list!

[JesusFrankenstein]

@christiannandres i still like Metallica

[christiannandres]

@JesusFrankenstein they used to be my favorite band(back in the 80s)but then the black album came(which is not that bad but...)and it was for me the beginning of their end...

[JesusFrankenstein]

@christiannandres yeah i understand. the black album is what got me into them. i was in 5th or 6th grade when that came out. Death Magnetic is good.

[christiannandres]

@JesusFrankenstein you are obviously new school but im almost 37 and got used to 4 horsemen,whiplash,disposable heroes,for whom the bell tolls,eye of the beholder and such old stuff , for some like me is hard to accept the new metallica but is ok !

[JesusFrankenstein]

@christiannandres im 31 so i'm not really that new school. as soon as the black album hooked me in, i had gotten the first 4 albums on cassette with my allowance money.. i was young back then and listened to pop music prior. i hardly ever listen to Load and ReLoad nowadays.

[soadratmetc]

@JesusFrankenstein Sir, I love Testament and agree they should replace Anthrax in the Big Four, but fuck you Dave Mustaine is awesome.

[JesusFrankenstein]

@soadratmetc hahaha. relax man. i never said Mustaine wasn't awesome.

[badboyfabregas]

who the fuck can dislike this?

if u ask me this should be a band of the big 4

anthrax and megadeth dont have it anymore

[papyrico1]

@badboyfabregas serious anthrax needs to fuckoff and put Testament up there

[hcowboy19671]

AS I UNDERSTAND AS WELL CHUCK DID HAVE A MAJOR THROAT ISSUE SEVERAL YEARS BACK I CANT HONESTLY REMEMBER IF IT WAS A TYPE OF CANCER BUT IT WAS A MAJOR ISSUE CHECK YOUR HISTORY WIT TESTAMENT THE TRUTH IS THERE SOMEWHERE ...Len.(TMDCFH.)

[Gusman281]

Chuck plays a mean mic stand guitar

[440restsux]

Look at Chuck's mouth in the beginning when is says ''Preach'' looks like a cartoon character...

[Judasxmetalxzone]

great band

[choptop1218]

Maybe it's just me but When they first came out in the 80's didn't Chuck Billy's Vocals sound kinda Weak for Thrash? Now Testament is An Awesome Fucking Thrash Band regardless but It seems like the vocals never got anywhere until he started Growling and working his voice heavier in the later years. Anyone?

[PossessedDonutz]

@choptop1218 He beat throat cancer too. Thats a reason why, but I like the death grunt he has better. TestAmenT is fucking the best thrash band ever regardless of what anoyone says otherwise, these guys are too powerful for any other. Which is why theyre my favorite band ever.

[choptop1218]

@PossessedDonutz Oh really? I didn't know he had any kind kind of throat problem let alone cancer. No Testament is A True Fucking Thrash Band Through and through.

[hcowboy19671]

@choptop1218 AS I UNDERSTAND CHUCK DID HAVE A MAJOR THROAT ISSUE I CANT RECALL IF IT WAS A TYPE OF CANCER OR NOT BUT IT WAS THREATENING TO THE BAND AND HIS CONTINUEN AS A VOCALIST...Len.(TMDCFH.)

[choptop1218]

@hcowboy19671 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right :D I guess Chuck Billy is the textbook example of that saying.

[mymusicworld1964]

Great, great sound...

[bigbadrossy]

F**kin' awesome man!!! can't wait for the Canadian Carnage show in T.O. end of July!!!! woooo hooo!!!

[440restsux]

@bigbadrossy don't forget Heavy mtl!!!

[7xalan1]

la vrdd no se mucho de esta banda pro pz se me ase parecidad a metallika no ?

[Welker541]

Alex and Eric are guitar beasts!!

[Welker541]

Thrash Metal is the most kickass sub genre of heavy metal ever created.

[1stSgtSoulStealer]

@Welker541 It's what I play, gets you through harsh times, stupid people, games, and most of all GETS YOU GOING NO MATTER WHAT!!!

[blackleather86]

@Welker541

...and bay area thrash is its best category.

[ohgplayer]

Chuck is the fucking man!!! plus he has the best air guitar in the world!!

[andrerockmetal]

LONG LIVE THRASH METAL !!!!

[woodchuk123]

While the whole song kicks ass (what an awesome riff!), Alex's solo just sends it through the roof. Unbelievable! How is it possible for one metal guitarist to kick so much ass? Of course, Alex is much more versatile than that, but holy shit! His note choices, phrasing, and tone are damn near flawless, and he's a jazz genius to boot - he can play just about any style you throw at him. If we could get a showdown with Alex, Jeff Loomis, and Marty Friedman, that would be amazing!

[ahvaimusicom]

@woodchuk123 i agree man, but dont forget Chris Broderick that guy is flipping amazing!

[woodchuk123]

@ahvaimusicom I won't argue with that...the more I hear Chris play, the more amazed I am. The dude definitely has chops from hell. Alex, Chris, Jeff and Marty in one big jam....can you say orgasmic?

[ahvaimusicom]

@woodchuk123 ooh dude that would be sick! he actually inspired me to use the tortex sharps so im hooked on em now!!

[DEANVX93]

Testament are one of the few thrash bands that still sound AMAZING live.

[XxboVodxX]

i love chuck billy, his fatness makes him even awesomer.

[exodusfreak]

eric petersen is the best guitarist in testament

[440restsux]

yea that's what I expect to see as a heavy metal band's vocals.. a short ugly fat guy...

[zajagr2]

@440restsux dude, hes like 6 ft 4 lol

[440restsux]

@zajagr2 oh ok. well he looks short and fat here lol

[Visnu2007]

i love chuck billy. just nothing else to say :D

fucking great band, they are for me the number one thrash band of the worldand should be within the big four !

[hellraiser6502]

Unequalled talent and perfection of technique by Skolnick!! The whole band is just ON but Skolnick puts them way over the top.

[TheLotusEater725]

Chuck billy sounds like pen jillette.

[Ireg2post1]

What a jammin tune. I totally get into this song.

[MrOrion92]

Testament is such a great thrash band, should have definetly been a Big Five to include Testament in there.

[Metaldudehere]

@MrOrion92 just being classified in the big five would have made them bigger, it would have been sick. however i could have thought of other bands to put in with metallica megadeth slayer and anthrax. TESTAMENT RULES!

[finnishjuoppo]

@MrOrion92 Big Six, Testament and Flotsam and Jetsam should be included

[demonholocaust101]

@finnishjuoppo GTFOOH! flotsam and jetsam?! put EXODUS with testament for the big 6

[finnishjuoppo]

@demonholocaust101 Big seven :D

[demonholocaust101]

@finnishjuoppo flotsam and jetsam is NOT WORTHY! lol big 7 would have to have Kreator but FLOTSAM AND JETSAM ARE NOT WORTHY! they just didnt do enough with themselves compared to the other previous 7 bands to compare.

[finnishjuoppo]

@demonholocaust101 Calm down... I just said my opinion and you started to act like a bull who got his ass raped by Alvin the local animal lover. I prefer Flotsam over Exodus, but for me, Testament and Flotsam and Jetsam are in the same level. I respect your opinion and I don't try to be an asshole :P and btw, I think The Cold is better than Formation of Damnation...

[hulyegyerekxxx]

@MrOrion92 make that the big six. I think Annihilator should be in it to :D

[TVF100]

@swwatson1 HOLY CRAP!!!:O xD

[Harmony0fdissonance]

@swwatson1 Dude......epic

[Aeroforce743]

@swwatson1 Obviously, Testament is awesome in the future too.

[Mrmegadeth68]

stupid brits...they don't know you're supposed to be moshing to this song! For thrash metal's sake...at least bang your fucking heads!!!!!!

[Mrmegadeth68]

stupid brits...they don't know you're supposed to be moshing to this song!

[lungduck]

any new vids here yet from the Testament bunch? while i wait i will pack another bowl.

[OjSimpsonTheDuckInce]

this venue was where bon scott drunk the nite he died

[tdb124]

That guitarist playing the gold les paul looks like the biggest tool ever.

[ferociouspokemachine]

Fuck you, Alex Skolnick is a fucking legend

[lungduck]

what the fuck? are you high? didnt you watch the video and see him shred the leads. dude you are a fuckin tool, judging by "looks" huh, so what you were expecting a guy with long hair, or big muscles. or maybe a big cock cause your a faggot. go back to the eric johnson page and stay there!!!

[skolnick14]

@tdb124 he is also the greatest thrash metal lead guitarist of all time idiot so why don't you shut up cuz your life is nothing and he's a legend.

[Privat3Kag3]

Practice what you preach motherfucker's!! \m/ \m/

[Mantidz]

This album sounds a lot like metallica's the black album. both good albums.

[luizzeross]

Well... I like them both too. But it's hard to compare PWYP with BA. PWYP kicks ass!! Also, we could compare with Kill 'Em All or Ride The Lightning! Aside that, both true Thrash Metal bands!

[BloodyKing13]

black album? WTF?.....

[oatmeal987]

@Mantidz, umm, no this is thrash, black album comes nowhere near thrash

[ThrashTillDeath322]

this dominates black album

[rossobass420]

I say drop Anthrax from Big Four of Thrash and replace them with Testament. \m/

[luizzeross]

You said it!

[Caboose9987202]

hell yeah bra

[009Tomo009]

Its just the big four were decided really early on, Testament in this form started in like (87?). Don't know why exodus aren't on the list though, they were of the absolute earliest.

[rossobass420]

Yeah, I hear ya, and agreed on Exodus. But Anthrax only really took off after Belladonna joined in 85. I don't know, I may be biased. I just take Testament over Anthrax.

[freddy5435]

@rossobass420 i say drop metallica

[m4rlo]

the solo in this song is among the 10 best in the whole history of metal ..
