Testament is to thrash metal what Elvis was to rock n' roll & rockabilly. Skolnick is not only at an extremely high level of technical skill, but his feel, art and substance are rarely seen in metal. He's a genius. He's what Bach would play if he were into metal.

if you think the video is too intense, listen to some more TestAmenT \m/

@katbunz26 metheny was a big influence on skolnick so it's probably in there.

FUCK those who didn't like the song

[katbunz26]

In my opinion, this piece has hints of Pat Metheny in it ... or is that just my imagination playing tricks on me??

The video could be better in my opinion, the fact that you have many overlaying video clips, and the colors, and the camera's picture quality are all great,.. but I have a feeling that something has been lost, through the video.. Maybe its just me.. but for a song with this kind of vibe, I feel the video is too spastic.. just my opinion though..

[xXNeoShredderXx]

There's alot of loudness and energy in the silence if you know what I mean.
