[dapoospot]

@Marcus666Sund it actually was for both it says it on the flyer

[Marcus666Sund]

@dapoospot oh, sry, I didnt know.

[priestrules]

@Marcus666Sund They did, actually. It was originally for Chuck Billy but they got wind of Chuck Schuldiner's situation and decided to include him in it as well.

[krzsm]

Chuck(vocalist) was ill with cancer.That concert gathered money for further treatment

[lukekasten]

this has to be the FASTEST version of this song ive ever heard!

[Regdot]

Their lead singer looks pretty ''gangsta''.

[Bittersweetpain]

@Regdot Because he had cancer and lost his hair, idiot!!

[wealldie12]

this is what i love about thrash metal. Even though bands like metallica, who sold out in 1991 and how anthrax sucks ass after belladonna left. I love moshing because since all metalheads are like brothers. if some bitch whos moshing and swings the everyone will beat his ass. because thats not how you mosh. I just love that

OLD SCHOOL METAL FOREVER!

[IMBACHABRI]

Fuck!He had no hair.That was because of sickness for sure.

[skallorulez]

@IMBACHABRI yes, he was having a chemiotherapy for a throat cancer at the time.

[nick11link]

Lamb of God stole the riff in Laid to Rest from this song!

[Metal1998]

yea i know.. i prefer to listen to Testament

[warjjahnathan]

xTHRASH SUCKSx

[Hendrixism]

Cancer doesn't have SHIT on Testament.

[hotforjpn]

Brittany Spears mosh pits are fuckn rad dude... Justin Timberlake is a mosher fur sure dude.. I seen him at the Spears show.. He kicks dudes in da nads

[shredouken]

that sucks seeing chuck with no hair

[king666nothing]

I'd rather see him alive with no hair, than dead from cancer.

[hotforjpn]

I wonder if he has lost his hair on his balls?

[king666nothing]

hotforjpn

First of all, that's not fucking funny.

And second, why would anyone wonder about that???

[hotforjpn]

Inquiring minds always want to know the latest scoop.. I use Head and Shoulders.. My balls were always flaky..now they are fine.. So if Chuck has no hair, he doesn't have to worry about flaky balls like I do.

[king666nothing]

hotforjpn

Whatever, dude.

[hotforjpn]

Oh my god. I mean TOOOTTTAAALLLYY. Barf me out. Gag me with a spoon.. for sure. Totaalllyyy!! For suuuuuuuure.

[eltapioco]

fuckin asshole....he lost his hair because of the chemio...

[hotforjpn]

He thinks he's a skin head.. watch out!!

[faggotmutilator666]

of course he looks different, but the voice is the same!!

Hails to Testament

[1MorA1]

this sucks look at chuck no hair why?

because cancer man.

now problem solved he fully recovered fuck yeah into the pit!

[BirkirFMC]

Where did this show happen?

Chuck tearing it up, no hair! Awesome.

[OVERKILLTHRASHER]

hey chapametal shut the fuck up and show some respect for chuck dipshit!!

[MEGARETH69]

Fucking, bad kicking ass band. One of my fovorite thrash band.

[FiredUpGrego]

Best thrash metal song. Ever.

[lPracticeWhatUPreach]

Testament kicks ass!!!!!!

Chuck Billy and Steve Souza are my favourite voices in thrash

[wokfever999]

dude, steve souza.... bad choice

no offense

[lPracticeWhatUPreach]

haha, none taken, dont u like Pleasures of the Flesh, and Fabulous Disaster, STEVE SOUZA's AWESOME

[wokfever999]

pleasures of the flesh is paul baloff, and yes fabulous disaster is pretty good. But nothing compared to bonded by blood.

[lPracticeWhatUPreach]

@wokfever999 Pleasures of The Flesh is definitely Steve Souza... but yea, Bonded By Blood is their best album

[townclutz99]

I'll have to agree with lPracticeWhatUPreach. Steve was part of Exodus' sound. I'm still trying to warm up to the new vocal sound of them.

But Chuck Billy sounding like that after fighting cancer is amazing

[RyGuy71193]

great fucking song alot better live

[chapametal08]

chuck's t-shirt size is XXXXXXXL lol

[Hellrider73]

I think that his voice is better now than it was on their 80's albums.Gathering or Damnation are living proof.

[SmashXShread]

Agreed. These guys have gotten so much better over the years

[FAvlJms]

are you fucking kidding me?

[Waranoa]

Even now his voice is amazing, maybe even better than in the old days! It's the first time I've heard a metal vocalist's voice age like good wine, lol.

[meluaz]

chuck billy is a fucking legend!!

[GarytheIrishDrummer]

you ignorant idiot

[halogod1990]

Im proud to say that chuck billy is my idol for fighting cancer

[MercyfulFate]

yeah man! i heard in an interwiew that he got help from indian shamans and stuff! its cool that he has native-american roots too i think...

[halogod1990]

YEAH DUDE HE DOES :D

[jfperezm]

my favorite song

[hotforjpn]

I'm not to sure if thats the correct name of the Rapper that filled in for Chuck

[corpsedeathmaggot]

no one filled in for chuck, he had cancer and went bald from the treatment, READ THE OTHER COMMENTS!!! fucking wikipedia it, its true! why would testament get a rapper to fill in for chuck anyways?

[hotforjpn]

Cuz they SUCK and they need money for the eating disorders.

[hotforjpn]

Go back to the phillapines Banez..That dude is heavy Z, the rapper..

[hotforjpn]

that guy is morbidly obese

[MeTaLiCa15951]

you can go fuck yourself. he could kick your ass

[hotforjpn]

I'll kick you in your pussy if I see at the show.. YOu dried up old prude.

[MeTaLiCa15951]

[hotforjpn]

My RECTUM, YOUR TONGUE!!!! My fist your face. NOw assume the position BEEEEEEEYOTCH!!

[hotforjpn]

[MeTaLiCa15951]

[Eyec0n]

you should watch your face in the pit...fag

[hotforjpn]

you should watch your testes for I that is the first thing I take my razor to

[VigoGatsu]

This was the year of the First Strike Still Deadly release date? It sounds like that record.

BRUTAL

[GNRfan1969]

Chuck had cancer, so yea he went bald from the treatment.

[hotforjpn]

Bullshit.. that was whats his name?? the rapper?? forgot his name..he's a famous rapper

[mafoota]

Ha ha, look at you lot, arguing like it really matters!! LOL @ yooz.

[bigdaddybooty]

who CARES whatever band plays what. If its HEAVY and hits ya HARD, it rocks. no, i dont listen to emo, punk, rap-metal, nu-metal, nu-wave. Im buried pretty deep within my Pantera, Metallica, and Slayer. But if it sounds good n heavy, just rock the fuck out for jesus sakes

[Finnishshitinskin]

LoG plays Groove Metal with a slight metalcore influence, so suck a dick and get your facts, you asshole.

Damn dude, YOU tell me to get some metal knowledge? I know more about metal than you ever will, you waste of sperm.

What a fucking dick.

You lost, like always.

[Finnishshitinskin]

Just so you would know, I do not listen to emo, metalcore, nu metal or hardcore.

Congratulations, you lost again.

[Pathian91]

If you can point out Lamb of God's 'pussy makeups', I'm sure the teacher at your Special School will give you a sticker for your chart. All the members of LoG are talented. You don't get awards from international metal magazines for stealing riffs. To all you dicks that think LoG stole this riff, Alex Skolnick LET them. He guest solos on the album that Laid To Rest is on, and allowed them to use the riff as a mark of respect to their influences. Fuck's sake.

[Finnishshitinskin]

Dude, amen.

[DGYDP]

Getting awards proves nothing, look at all the "awards" Korn and Slipcrap got ... it's the most commercial bands that get the awards, not the most talented ones. And anyway, Alex DID let them use this riff so everybody should stfu. And btw, Testament are one of the best metal bands ever. Into the pit is a thrash anthem. Stop arguing allready, most important thing is that Testament are half-gods.

[Finnishshitinskin]

Untechnical? Wow, that's so ignorant, buddy.

Have you ever even tried to play their stuff?

Obviously not.

[Coreythecheese]

Ok, seriously you guys, who gives two fucks??

It doesnt matter if their stuff is technical, just if it sounds cool. Lamb of god generally doesnt, they have a few worthwhile songs but not many.

So seriously, cut the shit, this is a testament video

[Finnishshitinskin]

You're right.

[Finnishshitinskin]

I mean, you're right about cutting the shit. This is a Testament video, and we should discuss about the video and the band, not to bring up worthless shit all the time.

[Finnishshitinskin]

Haha, so you tell me that you've see the shitty video "lamb of god is a shitty riff stealing band" and you believe every word it tells you?

Lmao, you lost this conversation right at the moment you said that, loser.

They did not steal that Megadeth riff. They sound totally different.

And if that Meshuggah "riff" was ripped off by LoG, then everyone is ripping off Suffocation for having blast beats.

Conclusion: Only one similar riff. Nothing more.

[Finnishshitinskin]

What's so shameful at playing new wave metal?

The term "real metal" consists more than just the bands founded before 90's.

[Finnishshitinskin]

Damn, dude.

You call them "band which is stealing riffs" because of one similar riff?

You obviously don't get that much entertainment in life.

[guitaristofgod]

LOG SUX, if they wrote any original music it would sound like someone having diareah

[Finnishshitinskin]

You don't know that much about music.

[iluvbrooke25]

ok watever so maybe they did rip off this song....but LOG vocalist is sooo much better. idk....im a LOG fan. U dont like it? go fuck urself

[dan1taylor]

yeh the intro riff reminded me of "laid to rest" by lamb of god but i think this was from before this is my first time hearing this band but i like them a lot allready

[hobodoctor]

well of course there's a SLIGHT difference, otherwise testament would be able to sue lamb of god.

[NickTopping]

fucking rights metallica, megadeth, sepultura, slayer, and testament are the shit. Fuck those make up wareing fruitcakes. THRASH RULES ALL MOTHERFUCKERS. METAL UP YOUR ASS.

[bob20202020]

Hell yeah brother

[Gundum]

I AGREEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[LachoDroogie]

THRASH METAL IS FUCKEN AWESOME!!! Megadeth is the best, just recently been getting into Testament, fucken love it!!

[CapoJoel]

I went to that, thrashfest, fuck yea, STOP SPAMMING

[JefferySchmitz]

I agree I just saw LOG here and it ripped

[fartingpenguin]

A little different, right. Testament were playing this style of music while Lamb of God were still swiming in their daddy's balls. What they should do is show some respect for the ones who came before them

[Finnishshitinskin]

Get some background checking you retard. All of LoG members were born when Testament started. They were all kids then....but no longer "swiming in their daddy's balls" you fucking dumbass.

And where the fuck did you get the idea that Lamb Of God wouldn't respect Testament, you son of a bitch?

[fartingpenguin]

I didn't check the facts on lamb of god because I don't give a shit about them. Their style of music doesn't appeal to me, and it's too manufactured by the masses. Have fun being a corporate zombie! :D

[Finnishshitinskin]

Oh really? Well here's some news for you, moron: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!

Have fun being a miserable narrow minded prick who only listens to 1 or 2 genres and ignores the rest like a fucking dumb fuck.

[fartingpenguin]

Narrow minded? I listen to jazz, flamenco, alternative rock, black metal, death metal and even stoner rock. Hows that narrow minded? I just don't listen to stupid bands I see on Fuse or MTV because they usually suck, ie Lamb of God.

[Finnishshitinskin]

LoG might have been in fucking MTV but if you are gonna mention examples of sellout shitbands, say slipknot, tivium, in flames, as i lay dying, avenged sevenfold, fall out boy, my chemical romance and all of those SHITTY bands. Don't take Lamb Of God into the shitty cathegory just because you hate them for no reason.

[fartingpenguin]

I hate them for a good reason, their music is lame and boring. Have you noticed they drastically changed their sound within the last two records? This seems a little suspicious for a band that hasn't "sold out". Face it, if you're on MTV, you will be harassed to commercialize yourself until you finally cave in and do it. LOG are no exception.

[Finnishshitinskin]

That one was correct, I can't deny. Their sound did change within the last two records. And yeah, that's what MTV does to any band.

But I don't care, I still like the music. You have your own opinion about the band and so do I. Peace.

[mepopo]

I wish this show happend like 10 months earlier so maybe Chuck Schuldiner could have gotten the treatment he needed and also survived ;_;

[DerBengel666]

Yeah ! Thrash-Metal rules !!! Look my old German Band FRATZEHAMMER ! ):->)

[patrickwilliamson29]

why are people always fighting over who is a better band and shit? at the end of the day its all good. plus most of the guys who play thrash and heavy metal in the big league all know and respect each other. as to all you guys who are saying chuck billy's voice is the best, i personally don't like it that much.

[metalmaniac4]

Chuck Billy IS God!the best voice in thrash & one of the best in metal generally!!! \m/

will they ever make a new album...?

[seb1975]

By the way,

TESTAMENT rules! Chuck Billy is one of the best thrash metal singers out there so all you bastards who disrespect this man are not true thrash metal fans! This guy could even do death metal with such a voice.

Remember that if bands like Testament were not there in the 80's and 90's to bring this new furious style called thrash, all current bands like LOG would be playing glam rock in a lousy club in LA with make-up on their face and they'd be dressed like pussies.

[Finnishshitinskin]

Man, that is so true! Testament, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth...without them most of current bands would be nothing but stupid glam rock groups with make up and dressed like pussies.

ALL HAIL THE ORIGINAL THRASH!!

[Jamie742617]

Jesus, Turbonegro are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!!

[guitarman666]

Are you fucking Kidding Me! Chuck Billy fits the band perfectly. No offense to Slayer, becuase i love salyer to, but a singer like Tom Araya could not hack it in Testament. They are way too melodic and the band's music really demands a diverse singer.

[elpablo666]

man chuck billy got fat...

[seb1975]

Chuck Billy had a rare kind of cancer in 2001 and had to get chemotherapy so that might explain his weight gain (did you notice he got no hair left under his cap?)

[elpablo666]

o i didnt know he had cancer that sucks

[metaldefender49]

Anyone who would bother to argue wheather or not L.O.G. is better than Testament is obveiously not metal!!!! I say we throw that nu-metal guy into the pit!!!!!

[metlhed922]

Wow, whoever has the nerve to say lamb of god is better than Testament is so full of shit. You can't compare Testament (who has been around since the 80's) to a generic metalcore band like LOG. LOL it's funny when all these so called metalheads today call all this new bullshit "death metal" Learn your shit before you talk smack. And yes, fuckin Testament owns. Real fuckin thrash metal.

[a8twenty]

i think it's funny when people think testament sounds like lamb of god. i love lamb of god, but testament were out waaaaaaaay before them lol. even shadows fall love testamnet!

[destructionattack]

conchetumareeeeeeeeeeeeee mañana se viene la cagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

[vegnagun925]

i love how 90 percent of u guys are assholes that dont like testament in the first place that have nuthin better to do with their time then insult testament and talk shit about a guy that had cancer(for the dumbasses that dont know, thats what chemo treats)

[chainsawmax]

first off: this was at the THRASH OF THE TTANS, a benefit happened in 2001 for Chuck Billy, singer for TESTAMENT, and Chuck Schuldiner, mastermind behind DEATH. Billy was under chemo when he sang this.

Secondly this song was written around 1988. Lamb of God where around kindergarden at the time, and I'm quite sure they worship TESTAMENT as well.

Thirdly, why don't you all quit being whiney and just enjoy the metal?

SADUS FOR LIFE!!!

[DOUCHEBAGSTOOKMYNAME]

this drummer got nothin on chris adler

[DOUCHEBAGSTOOKMYNAME]

The only thing I see that is similar to Laid To Rest is that Beginning riff really, and quite frankly it doesn't matter, alot of bands take other bands stuff and works it around and makes it their own way, its called inspired-creativity, and if you dont like LoG for taking this riff and making it creative, then I sure hope you guys aren't in a band, b/c chances are, you're doing the same...

I like them both, but I like LoG better (its an opinion, dont like it? I really dont care)

[iluvbrooke25]

fuck this....LAID TO REST BY LAMB OF GOD blows this out of the water!!! even if they did rip it off....they did testament a favor and made it MUCH BETTER!!!! i think testament needs a new vocalist....he looks like he should be watching sunday night football....am i right?

[Khetti]

You are wrong. So wrong.

[iluvbrooke25]

are u deaf? LOG kills testament

[fleshthrasher89]

You are an ignorant dipshit fan boy. Why dont you hop off LOG's dick, they made their career ripping off Testaments sound. I can take an Overkill song, add a few gay melodies,a breakdown, and get famous too. Kill yourself.

[saynotodrug999]

then why don't u do it u don't seem to have anything to lose

[headjg]

Dude where are the gay melodies in LOG?

[stovenmebat]

uhhhh no ur not right

[lacustimoris]

lamb of gods are very influenced by testament

[rex87uk]

fuck i wonder who lamb of god ripped off for laid to rest....they ripped restament off no doubt!

[gibsonfan123456789]

fuck no! this sounds like laid to rest but lamb of god kicks ass!

[korpsey]

Great fukkin' clip, man!! Tha KORPSELIKKA IZ BANGIN' 'IZ HEAD!!
