I went there and shot the whole show including warming up bands, audience very crazy and singing the line with the band. hope them sing seven days of may from album souls of black here!

Where can you find the anti communist themes in their music?I think you're wrong

this is hilarious. china allowed a band with anti communist themes in their music to tour in their country. the song 7 days of may was highlighting the killing of people by china. anyone else surprised about this ?

I saw them after the show,they are pretty nice people and told me privately they would be back in China to attend a rock festival in spring(not completely confirmed). I never heard Testament's political standpoint,and I also don't think they are as political as Megadeth(even Megadeth can be approved to perform in China,but their company is too money-oriented,they didn't make it in Nov. this year,Dave seemed to be pretty disappointed about this.)

[bushbreeze]

My baseline is as long as a band isn't anti-China,supporting Taiwan's split and extremely sex-discriminate,anti-communis­m won't influence my judgement towards this band,finally it's music what matters.

China is more capitalist than we are.

[bushbreeze]

@luke666808g A nice point but not true in the whole picture. I happen to have some finance background and somehow familiar with both situations in China and U.S. China is much more complicated than anyone who hasn't been there long enough can imagine, not Mr. Chanos, not Mr. Roubini, not Gary Shilling, not Mr. Soros. Jim Rogers got part of it, but far from enough. The key is who supervises and who takes responsibilities, not capitalism. Discussion welcomed, politics not welcomed.

great show!

Sorry I was half asleep when I viewed this. I have the transcription of that song from a March 1991 issue of Guitar School magazine. It lists the song as 12/8 time. So that's 12 8th notes per measure. In 6/8 time you count ONE two three FOUR five six. So, I'd imagine 12/8 would be similar. I don't know why they didn't just use 6/4 time or use tripulets.

[bushbreeze]

what is 12/8 time? That's me yelling, I have already written in description.

[jotunobsidianeyes]

That things in like 12/8 time or something. Is that you or your friend yelling there?
