He didn't have throat cancer, it was in his chest. And I've seen Testament play The Preacher live twice in the last few years, so I really don't know what you're on about...

Easily my favorite Testament song. Unfortunately I never got to see them play this live. Chuck Billy's bout with throat cancer has pretty much assured that I never will.
Once I can sweep pick (I just can't do the tedious slow practise xD) I think I should be closer to achieving this but... damn Testament and their individual talents :G
@shreddeth7 wasn't everybody though? Unfortunately all of our metal heroes must age....I wish Mustaine, Hetfield, and Araya were still in their mid 20's.....
@shreddeth7 seriously? I think hes lost nothing with age, maybe apart from being able to do the high screams. They still sound brutal, The live in london dvd is brutal.
@shreddeth7 Maybe his stage presence isn't what it used to be. But vocally i don't think he's gotten bad. I like his death growls better than his high screams.
Holy Mother of God.... The scream at 2:40 is the sickest, gnarliest scream/grunt i have ever heard.

Yeah they still play it live, just without the really high pitched screams. Thats probly not because of cancer but because hes older now

@rudoggg Thrash isnt brutal, And his voice isnt as good, the band isnt as alive nor as tight anymore.
