[OrionLegend811]

Hahahaha the song got the prisoners thinking about the lyrics

[vlodzimir111]

the beginning is from Souls of black, right?

[azrael666ethereal]

@vlodzimir111 No, it's Over the Wall.. The song

[Megadeth72]

@vlodzimir111 its from the song into the pit, the second record

[slavejko]

[dariox69]

CONCHETUMADREEE GRANDE TESTAMENT CARAJO!

[ShadowLord3220]

MTV recorded that and where is this stuff? I mean, where can i find full songs? There are 3 vids cuted to 1-2 min and thats it? Ofc its awesome and i want to hear whole songs...

[zullone]

is really exiting to see this band been alive after so many years...this show that the real muscians will never end to do what they dreamt.....and they remained thrash all the time along.....fuck metallica they are a bunch or rich men that did not know how to deal with it......is not easy to become so famous and rich at the same time and music was the product of their failure.....full stop: don t reply people cause is pointlesss.

[hollywars27]

wat was the point of doing this in alcatraz, and with accoustics?

[hollywars27]

wat was the point of doing this in alcatraz, and with accoustics?

[slantyrock]

@hollywars27 Well the original video for Over The Wall was filmed in Alcatrazz as the song is about escaping from jail, so I guess it was cool to do an Mtv special in the prison. As for acoustic, why not, it sounds great.

[Ianamerico]

@hollywars27 ear the lyrics , fucking asshole.

[hollywars27]

@Ianamerico this sounds horrible, leave it as it is , electric

[ThrashTillYouCrash]

Prisoner: "You guys are pricks, don't you think we want out?"

xD

Anyway, god damn, I love acoustic versions of heavy tunes like this.

Kick ass. \,,\d(>.<)b/,,/

[SuperRockgod666]

think about it guys. if the prisoners really were real, do you really think alcatraz would allow a band to tell the prisoners to escape?

[mechajesus2000]

@SuperRockgod666 I think the guys at Alcatraz (which of course is no longer active) would... Those guards would totally do it... Only just to piss them the fuck off... tease the hell out of em.. well... thats what i would do at least xD

[gh3rulz69]

i know the prisoners arent real, but thats still fucking cool

[Sk8Nature]

I realy catch a flamenco style now withou the distortion

and its amazing

[AdamBombThrash]

lol i like how they start with into the pit then go into over the wall kick ass!

[eferberto]

isn't that paul bostaph in the drums???

[FazSaber]

@eferberto

Yerr man :)

[jesse17ful]

@eferberto yes

[photog455]

@eferberto Yes that is Paul. From what I understand, Louie had to quit due to a illness.

[MrExorcist7]

good iniciative :)

(Y)

[alexguerreiro15]

look at the prisioners face they looked like they wanted to start a mosh pit in there but were afraid of chuck billy

[dmarins]

Chuck can kick everyone`s ass in there

[Prongful]

chuck billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Baldmelon]

13 crazy people. Dislike, seriously?

[MrRppd2shrds]

lol at the fake convicts

[dejandjukic]

this is sooo awesomee

[metalboto]

hell yeah !! it ROCKS, i like this 'acoustic' version of 'over the wall !! it actually starts with 'into the pit'

[metalboto]

hell yeah !! it ROCKS, i like this 'acoustic' version of 'over the wall !!

[10perrodelmal]

ive listening to testament since i was 10 they are my biggest influence

[uofm97]

This is actually pretty interesting. I always like to see musicians display different interpretations of their music. They should do a fullly "unplugged" album, if they haven't already.

[JelloFluoride]

AMAZING

[togetheras0ne]

I like testament.

But...

WTF THIS SHIT :S don't fuckin get it

[dennisalvey]

Yeah, this was kinda stupid... The inmates... haha.

[SGguy0425]

*LIKE*

[sonnyandtonya]

I like Chuck's vocals on this one. Sharp, short, and to the point. Period.

[priestrules]

Would you retards please knock it off with the comments about how you think the prisoners are real? Do you think pro wrestling is real, too?

[tomsat69]

@priestrules AlCATRAZ closed down vin 1963 ass holes snap the fuck out of it

[randy80801]

I just noticed the first 20 seconds they are playing the intro to "Into The Pit" not "Over The Wall". Kinda cool. Love their acoustic stuff!!!

[SoulburnSix]

That was just absolutely sublime!

Thanks for this Cego...

Absolutely awesome!

TESTAMENT FOREVER!!

[MrSnottwat]

great post \m/ thanks,that was awesome,lol \m/

[metalness666]

Top stuff...real Heavy Metal tallent.....no techno here...just guitars..Drum..& vocals..Testament kick arse \m/

[metallica378]

this is awesome

[CampCrystalLakeFan]

I think they're telling them how to escape by going "over the wall".

[carlsontsang]

rarely hear chuck singing in such a mellow way..lol still kick ass

[electroG1119]

That was the shit!!!!!!!!!!

[idpmofo]

LOL Alcatraz has been closed since mid-60s. those were not real prisoners

[philahundro]

are those the only prisoners from Alcatraz who like testament?

[TheZepKid7861]

its into the pit too!!!

[JediKeSula]

Pretty ballsy for a metal band to attempt something like this. This is fucking awesome!

[spectre31909]

anyone that sees this and thinks this is Testament... please take another hit on your crack/meth pipe...

[GuitarLegend310]

@spectre31909 But this is Testament....

[JavodeOz]

this is so superiooooor!!!!!

[slantyrock]

lol at the prop inmates

[zubiac]

fuck bongos and co. pauly hits his fucking snare with his bare hands! \m/

[krasen1212]

into the pit not over the wall,big difference in this songs

[Wyga23]

It wasn't the best idea, lol. Although song is great, it proves that metal without electricity/ energy doesn't sound like metal. More like cardboard. lol

[generosos87]

@Wyga23 i thought it sounded awesome, not as awesome as the real version of the song, but it has just as much energy imo

[Wyga23]

I love the band. Maybe with proper acoustic of the room it would sound better. And Billy is like his granny would tell him to be "shhhh!!!! grandpa's sleeping". But it is ok, just a unique event.

[rarebanana]

CRAZIEST SHIT U CAN DO!! PLAY INSIDE ALCATRAZ AND A SONG ABOUT BEEN INCARCERATED!!!

[prawwwnik]

Really amazing video.

[bobbyspitstix1172]

thats fucking awsome. show the alcatraz buddies some love some true brutal killers that would rot in in a cell for maybe the rest of thier lifes. people make mistakes dont deprive them of culture as well. they need to hear some real music.

[Extremmetzger]

@bobbyspitstix1172

do you really think these guys are real?

[bobbyspitstix1172]

@Extremmetzger

i think so. i bet one of them is a murderer.

kinda messed up of singing a song thats about escaping prison. hahaha. but i think it was awsome.

...but yes..i think so.

[joe6panther6]

Just think.. What if there was no electricity? Here they are playing this song stripped free of Con Edison. ..And it sounds fucking awesome! Just like artists who paint and draw with their hands and don't use computers and fancy expensive programs. Raw talent!

[wvfjr]

Geee!!! Goooossssshhhhh!!! Hey! Woul those "prisoners" be real condemned ones or just actors??? Heh-heh... Here is a thing to think about... Or isn't it?

[Godsmack0Believe]

LOL 0:45! Skolniks Face!!!

[Godsmack0Believe]

is their a full version of this somewhere?

[B0R3D1nk]

lol sounds like a group of mexican amigos trying to cover a hard ass metal song

[MrPirate93]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! Hahahaha wish they played the solos too though

[weissnet666]

Huh? Are those real prisoners??? Anyway, amazing, that the Over the Wall-Riff fits so good on accoustic guitars. The very first riff is from "Souls of black".

[ezzwhitezombie666]

@weissnet666

No, the very first riff is from "into the pit"

[FabianVasara]

Ehm thats not Over The Wall...i think it is Into the Pit! :P

[MrPirate93]

@FabianVasaraYea except for the part where he goes "over the wall" hey

[luiehiy]

can anyone tell what Erics guitar is? is it a martin or yamaha or something else i cant tell >.<

[christimpaler1]

is this really in a prison

[saehell]

cool!!!!...fucking awesome..

[prawwwnik]

Врх, брате!

[MattsBlood]

is that ex forbidden/slayer drummer

[mizzd67]

@MattsBlood yes it is Paul Bostaph

[65ways]

20 yrs ago my buddy and i made a joke about testament playing one of their songs with acoustics. it took 20yrs but it happened..

[juckarhoza]

Chuck Billy is a nice guy, he seems pretty cool with his fans

[IMSCARED1408]

dude at 0:29 would that be the original Testament drummer Louie Clemente?

[TheEncine]

this is just too clean and clear ... amazing

[pinkzyla]

this is like a good day in hell... Chuck rulzzzz

[janja777]

acoustic bizzare

[jimmymorat]

Awesome, some bastards said metal band will not work without electric guitars and basses. I'm glad they were fuckin' wrong.

[1bizop]

very cool

[TheEusys]

횽들 한국에도 한 번 와줘 ㅜㅜ

[6672rock]

Acoustic thrash metal -- now that's a first! They may have pioneered the latest music trend and not even know it! LOL!

[londretta]

@6672rock Actually, Sepultura did an acoustic for MTV probably 15 years ago. Check their video for "Kaiowas". It doesn't make Testament's acoustic less impressive, but it is certainly not a first.

[rdo6]

Never saw this b4, AMAZING!! I loved the acoustic version in their live album years ago.

[renatonigro]

GODS!

[lcastrose]

This is very COOL!!! I love testament...

[BellmeisterGeneral]

yes!! we used to cover this song when I was in Metagore in the 90's...I did the lead guitar...Skolnick was the man....love this band

[okcys]

just imagine testamente for a mtv unplugged...  sounds amazing.. burn all that crap of unplugged stuff like nirvana shit!!!

[vengadorpancho]

This isn't a good unplugged at all. It's just Thrash without distorsion, no arrangements, same speed as the original. Testament can make better unplugged songs like 'Return To Serenity'

[MadeWithMetal]

@vengadorpancho Whatever, most of bands do that. It's like the acoustic version for Megadeth's Holy Wars, just the same tabs without distortion.

Anyway, as you said I also think they could have done it better.

[Chenamonster]

@vengadorpancho I agree completely, they might aswell have just plugged in the guitars. This is just a worse version of the original.

[Schifty616]

EARGASM :)

[onefittyone]

this is fuckin badass man, i always wanted to hear something like this played acoutsic style

[deadembryoniccells7]

nice

[ThePower2MEtal]

im going to jail, just so i can see TESTAMENT play that song again

[shastamcnasta666]

that was pretty sick, not as good as the original, though i love the intro in acoustic.

[Marcus666Sund]

lol, that was very different, but still AWSOME!

[sym4destruct]

thats was kickass!

[bigcaddy3]

fok yeah

[king666nothing]

Was that Into the Pit in the beginning?

[Marcus666Sund]

@king666nothing shure it was, first acoustic version you can build a moshpit to!

[leonel1993]

Poor bearded inmate, he was like "STOP SINGING THOSE LYRICS! CAN'T YOU SEE MY SITUATION DICKHEAD?"

[CoolCoverBro]

@leonel1993 dont forget they are locked up for a reason lol

[jimmymorat]

What a dickhead you are. Music is a way to feel free, lyrics can help to do that.

If you identify yourself in a song it's so powerful, gives you energy.

[leonel1993]

@jimmymorat

Hey, asshole, ever heard of a joke? Don't get your panties in a bunch the next time you don't get one.

[jimmymorat]

Ahhhh, ooohh so it's a joke.

If you'd signed this with a "LOL" maybe everyone knows...

[leonel1993]

@jimmymorat

Oh, so next time I have to type a "lol" at the end of a joke just so YOU get it? Typing "lol" at then end of a joke is now a requisite so the dumb as shit people that don't get it can now understand it?

Hahahaha! Give me a fucking break!

[jimmymorat]

It's not an obligation. I've read so many people writing shit and criticizing without any reason. I love Testament and I felt your comment in a bad way. That's all dude. Don't get mad.

[leonel1993]

@jimmymorat

Don't get mad? Weren't you the one that said "What a dickhead you are" after a simple joke?

Really, I love Testament and I would like to let this go as much as you but don't come to me with that "don't get mad dude" bullshit, you were to one to start this in the first place by getting upset over a joke you didn't get so don't try to act like the "bigger man" when you realize how fucking dumb your whole fit was.

I'm sorry, I want to stop this too, but you can't do that.

[priestrules]

@leonel1993

Because they still house prisoners in Alcatraz....

[randy80801]

@priestrules -- No - Alcatraz has been closed since 1963. It's a tourist attraction only..

[priestrules]

@randy80801 I was being sarcastic, because someone was talking about the "inmates" behind the bars.

[randy80801]

@priestrules Ah I gotcha...

[pkrlz14]

@leonel1993 Ahaahah :D thats true. "Restart my life or self destruction, To climb this wall of dark construction" And this dude is like "Are you fucking kidding me?!" :d

[daz3z197707]

I enjoy a styles of music, but its cool stuff like this that bring me back to METAL.

[AnalVomitZ]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooow !!!!!!

[Vlodimer]

laid to rest by LoG sounds almost the same as the begining riff Testament guitarists playing on this video

[Naildownrock]

thats because lamb of god stole that riff

[Godsmack0Believe]

@Vlodimer LoG took it from the song into the pit

[NWOBHM1777]

chuck billy looks like the guy from the Nickeloedeon show AHH! Real Monsters

[Snakeplisskin440]

Hahaha

[NWOBHM1777]

i know, right

[Hatorn3]

SWEET!!!

[gugastgo]

[Cathexis256]

i like the drums

[3seaw4dr]

Drums? Why plural? I only see one drum.

[basssungwoo]

SUPER BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glasgowdmon]

[thatmetalguy85]

still sounds sick! full of badazzness!

[STR8L8CED]

Seing them Jan 18th in Seattle!

[khashayarviper]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkflameSG]

those inmates are probably either actors/fans or "good behavior cons"

[DarthNader11]

Alcatraz has been closed since 1963, so they are certainly actors.

[roky616]

I bet they're roadies : D

[darkflameSG]

hehe possibly, or like someone said before, actors. or they could be fans ;)

[DreamyGhost1492]

2:03 XD!!! Irony can be prett fun when you apply it to THRASH METAL!!!

[AlexakisKochetakis]

thrash it with ur grandpas gitas!

[conker1oo]

still sounds badass with acustic instruments. fuck yeah gonna see them on jan. 22.

[UltraThrash1]
