I have been listening to these guys for 30 years and I never get tired of hearing them play. Truly one of the best metal bands ever. They don't get the credit they deserve in my opinion.
Apocalyptic City, Burnt Offerings, Fall of Sipledome, The New Order, The Formation of Damnation, Stronghold.. and that's just some of better thrash songs from Testament. Dead Embryonic Cells, Desperate Cry, Slaves of Pain, T.D.S. (Take it as you will), Bodies on Bodies, Kill on Command, Blackened, Damage Inc, Disposable Heroes, Ghosts of War, Crypts of Eternity, Silent Scream, Captor of Sin, Some Pain Will Last, When The Sun Burns Red, Coma of Souls, Awakening of the Gods, Riot of Violence, Phantom Antichrist, Totalitarian Terror, Army of Storms, March Into Fire, Follow Me, Through Eyes of Glass, Twisted Into Form, Infinite, Fabulous Disaster, Strike of the Beast - I could go on... DNR doesn't even have any climax to begin with, it doesn't build up to anything special, despite having awesome riffs and a good, up-beat tempo.
@@Metalton95 - Look...no one here wants to debate something that everyone has their own opinion on!!! I agree that DNR is a great pounding thrash metal song!!!! Best ever??? For some people Yes! For others...No! Let's just agree that Testament kicks ass, period!!
One of the greatest live bands and thrash metal bands out there! They’ve stayed true to their roots for over 30 yrs! Never compromised just play true raw metal from start to end
I think his most important skill is the ability to play just about anything in metal, and unlike people who cover other people's songs (cough cough lombardo), he doesn't leave out any of the iconic fills. Also one of the strongest, most consistent feet in metal. May not be the fastest drummer who ever lived, but he's probably the most consistent live.
That whole entire album is probably their most technical album, as well as untouchable, just listen to Legions Of The Dead, D.N.R and Fall Of Sipledome, 3 of the greatest Testament tracks post Ritual.
How awesome! I went with my buddy to testament 27 years ago. And now they're playing in St Petersburg Florida and him and I are going 27 years later. How cool
desde finales de los 90 TESTAMENT , MEGADETH y EXODUS son los únicos BIG THRASH TRIO en América , por Europa están KREATOR, SODOM y TANKARD los demás se extinguieron a mediados de los 90.
Been listening to testament since i was kid... one of my all time favorite bands chuck Billy has the greatest metal vox still to this day... definitely one of go to bands to listen to every day
One of Erik's best riffs he has ever written. Look at that talent? Chuck, EP, Gregor on bass (I know Steve Digiogio, a master himself, would soon came back on bass), and the incomparable lead guitar of Alek Skolnick and on drums one of the greatest drummers in metal history. Talent in excess here.
this band is by far one of the best to see live. they sound better than the CD. Crisp, clean, and always on time. truly one of the best shows I ever seen.
And my face thrash band grew up on the best band ever KISS - so declares the Queen of The KISS Tranny Army as crowned by Mr. Demon himself (6/2/17 backstage Philly) :) TESTAMENT RULES THRASH Slayer can take lessons
Testament and Overkill are both better bands than Anthrax. I think most real metal heads know this. I respect Scott Ian but Alex Skolnik is a legitimate thrash titan.
The only word I can find here is "wow". Been listening to them since I'm 14, but only today have come to this live performance, which is absolutely unbelievable and different from the studio records. That's massive.
DNR is one of greatest mosh songs ,I've been into testament since 87,their cool dudes from nor.cal. I seen them live at cheers in Sunnyvale, ca.and it was fucking brutal my friend Tim Calvert from forbidden is good friends with them nor.cal. rules!!
People have been arguing about which thrash metal band is the best. And it's always the "big 4". Nothing against them, I love them too. However, Testament is THE BEST thrash metal band ever. Either them or Kreator
I seen them in the early 90’s at The Back Room in Austin, Tx. I lost a game of pool to Chuck and told him “if you can do that again I’ll turn you onto some acid.” He smoked me on the pool table again. So that night me, a roadie & Chuck tripped balls. He would run over to the side of the stage where we were, point at us and say “I’m fucked!” Yet he was business as usual while singing! My 21st birthday that night!
Chuck, U should do Native American Indian Headress when you sing beginning, middle or at end of the song to Native Blood... Navajo/Hopi... Fr Many Farms, Az where my O.G. Dad resides. Haven't met him, Wanna meet him ever since I was 3 mths old... So yeah It's time... Not mad at him but wanna say Hi & give him a big hug because U TESTAMENT, SLAYER, brought me this far... Amen brother...
Love watching Alex play songs from the gathering.... That album didn't need solos but Im not mad at alex throwing in licks.... He is the reason why I play guitar
Creo que fue una de las primeras bandas que escuche en este genero, inclusive antes que las bandas populares que ya todos conocemos. Como dice @mexikong00, nunca me canse de escuchar sus temas. Testament 4ever
I have been listening to these guys for 30 years and I never get tired of hearing them play. Truly one of the best metal bands ever. They don't get the credit they deserve in my opinion.
Oh yeah I totally agree they are very bad ass. Another 1 of those bands that I go and see whenever they come close within 50 miles from home.
Seriously.... never.
Grossly underrated!!!
I could not agree more with this statement....
Fucking A right
DNR is the greatest thrash metal song of all time. Come at me!
I will stand next to you as they come!
As I will stand with you my metal brethren 🤘
Apocalyptic City, Burnt Offerings, Fall of Sipledome, The New Order, The Formation of Damnation, Stronghold.. and that's just some of better thrash songs from Testament.

500 tons of pure metal
Jesus Chuck is a beast 9:45 One of the best vocalists
It will always amaze me how after 40 years as a vocalist, entering 'grandparent age', and fucking cancer this man still is at the apex of his game.
Gods on Guitar, Mr Eric Peterson and Mr Alex Skolnick they are great. I Love Testament
The gathering is my Favourite thrash metal album of all time
Arvind Shastri best Metal album of the Decade
100%
What you said! Favorite band, favorite album.
That's my first Testament album and will always be my favorite!
Lombardo on drums!!
this performance is perfection!!!!
Underrated is an understatement. One of the best that we will hear for the rest of our lives.
One of the greatest live bands and thrash metal bands out there! They’ve stayed true to their roots for over 30 yrs! Never compromised just play true raw metal from start to end
Gene Hoglan is such an amazing musician!
Best drummer in metal, hands down.
@@theodosios2615 yes

He is the Atomic Clock
Word
DNR is a killer track, so strong 🤘
That whole entire album is probably their most technical album, as well as untouchable, just listen to Legions Of The Dead, D.N.R and Fall Of Sipledome, 3 of the greatest Testament tracks post Ritual.
Eric is THEE riff master.
And Alex the solo master
Eric Peterson wrote the best Testament Album!! The Gathering! ❣️
The guitar tone on The Gathering is untouchable!!
Eric Peterson is a full-on Riff Lord & Alex Skolnick is just the master shredder
Best guitar duo in Metal
Period.
How awesome! I went with my buddy to testament 27 years ago. And now they're playing in St Petersburg Florida and him and I are going 27 years later. How cool
These guys SMASH so many bands out of the Water live it's no Joke
Totally Agree
absolutely
I’ve seen Testament 7 or 8 times..Always blown away
FACTS!!
Testament favorite band of all time saw them 21 x
Bestial! Testament fue y siempre será parte de los 4 Grandes del Thrash, la voz de Chuck Billy es simplemente perfecta! 🤘🤘🤘
Súmale a Kreator, Exodus y Sodom /m/
desde finales de los 90 TESTAMENT , MEGADETH y EXODUS son los únicos BIG THRASH TRIO en América , por Europa están KREATOR, SODOM y TANKARD los demás se extinguieron a mediados de los 90.
Chuck Billy’s voice is still amazing! Gene is frigging incredible machine, Erik and Alex are still vicious axe men!
Testament is getting better and better by time !
Эти внезапные соляги Алекса - это неимоверно круто!
Man they sound amazing live. Super tight and a great sound crew.
truer words have never been spoken
Been listening to testament since i was kid... one of my all time favorite bands chuck Billy has the greatest metal vox still to this day... definitely one of go to bands to listen to every day
Fucken aye right! 🤘
These dudes are crazy good musicians-!!! Hoglan on drums!!!!
Fuckn Aa!!!wanted to b a disciple of the watchhhhhhhh
Gene Hoglan is a beast!
Toornap Tarraa Dave lombardo on the original version..
Ra S Lombardo is a legend, in the other hand Hoglan is a beast.
Both are awesome!!! I love both gene and Lombardo
Agreed
Lombardo is great.. Hogland is not a beast.. he is the f#@kin beast. Lombardo could learn a lot from him
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who loves most The Gathering album from all Testament albums. What a masterpiece!
GOD BLESS THESE GUYS!!! SO HEAVY!! SO GREAT AT LIVE PERFORMANCES!!!!
Some things get better with age... These guys are amazing.
One of Erik's best riffs he has ever written. Look at that talent? Chuck, EP, Gregor on bass (I know Steve Digiogio, a master himself, would soon came back on bass), and the incomparable lead guitar of Alek Skolnick and on drums one of the greatest drummers in metal history. Talent in excess here.
In my opinion Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson are one of the greatest guitar duo of all time
Now they have The Gathering era back, imagine the next album and how that will sound!!
It's awesome that Chuck's voice didn't change one bit, but Hetfield does.
Get your yodel on.
this band is by far one of the best to see live. they sound better than the CD. Crisp, clean, and always on time. truly one of the best shows I ever seen.
Sounds great. Seeing Alex play these songs is a trip, bad ass to see him busting them out.
Testament sound 100 times better now than they did on the " Soul's of black" tour and they kicked ass back then.
Chuck Billy is the best.
And my face thrash band grew up on the best band ever KISS - so declares the Queen of The KISS Tranny Army as crowned by Mr. Demon himself (6/2/17 backstage Philly) :) TESTAMENT RULES THRASH Slayer can take lessons
Testament still reign supreme!!
Testament is my favorite thrash band ever,Alex Skolnick is a beast 🤘🤘
all my life i listen to this guys i am 43 and i say they are the best band in the planet.
Testament - One of the Big 4....
... and Overkill.
@@timoklabuster5065 than we are at the Big 6!
Id replace Anthrax with Testament
Testament and Overkill are both better bands than Anthrax. I think most real metal heads know this. I respect Scott Ian but Alex Skolnik is a legitimate thrash titan.
Outstanding.
Best album ever...
One of the few thrash bands that can go on the road with a band 20-30 years younger and not sound like dinosaurs
How these don’t get the recognition megadeth and anthrax get is beyond me
Anthrax of all bands...
they do...and they destroy both of them with ease
Because Anthrax and Megadeth sells more album than Testament but I like Testament more than the big 4
Anthrax thrashes Testament Outta the park. Let alone Metallica
@@dante666jt testament has more talent than the big four combined lmao
The way they came in on 3 days of darkness with that drum fill was tasty 😋
They are still a kickass legendary thrash band.....prove that ages just numbers for them
Chuck Billy is the voice of Metal!
The only word I can find here is "wow". Been listening to them since I'm 14, but only today have come to this live performance, which is absolutely unbelievable and different from the studio records. That's massive.
Holy shit that was powerful.
The best ever
This is why I love testament
Chuck Billy has the coolest voice in thrash metal. Period.
So proud about testament..
Always one of my bigest influences in music from when I was a kid..
DNR is one of greatest mosh songs ,I've been into testament since 87,their cool dudes from nor.cal. I seen them live at cheers in Sunnyvale, ca.and it was fucking brutal my friend Tim Calvert from forbidden is good friends with them nor.cal. rules!!
One of my favorites from Testament!
These guys are pure class!!! Brilliant!!!
Metallica (1986 - 91), Slayer, Sepultura (1989 - 93) and Testament - its my Big 4 of thrash metal
Best metal band ever.
Besides Megadeth
These guy sound great all the years I been listening to them. Should be more popular than they are.
Chuck has an awesome voice tight performance.
People have been arguing about which thrash metal band is the best. And it's always the "big 4".
Nothing against them, I love them too.
However, Testament is THE BEST thrash metal band ever. Either them or Kreator
CHUCK BILLY Kicked Cancer"s Ass!!!! CHUCK , you will knock Corona out in the first round// Get Well CHUCK!!
Hail! TESTAMENT!
Their best album.
no doubt
I agree. Dave Lombardo absolutely killed it on that album. Completely silenced so many other drummers mouths out there
@@jamesburris3397 you mean Gene Hoglan
@@dante666jt Dave Lombardo played drums on the album
Semplicemente GRANDI !!!
YES !!!
I seen them in the early 90’s at The Back Room in Austin, Tx.

Epic story. 🤘 TX here too
So awesome seeing Skolnick play this song as if he had a hand in writing it!
I can not get enough of this. Constantly listening to it over and over and over again. Fucking Thrash Riles.
I love this band!
This was such a badass show I watched them last year to and it was killer.
seen these guys on the Practice what you preach tour. absolutely phenomenal to see live.
DNR in a word is AWESOME!
THIS WAS MY TESTAMENT, SINCE THE EARLY YEARS!!!
I went to Testament around age 20. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life lol
Freaking underrated fo sure
Chuck, U should do Native American Indian Headress when you sing beginning, middle or at end of the song to Native Blood...
Navajo/Hopi... Fr Many Farms, Az where my O.G. Dad resides. Haven't met him, Wanna meet him ever since I was 3 mths old... So yeah It's time... Not mad at him but wanna say Hi & give him a big hug because U TESTAMENT, SLAYER, brought me this far... Amen brother...
Joey Belladona has been doing it for some time now.
Love watching Alex play songs from the gathering.... That album didn't need solos but Im not mad at alex throwing in licks.... He is the reason why I play guitar
If he's the reason why you play guitar do you know about his side project Alex skolnick Trio it is just insane
holy shit i didn't expect them to sound this good live 😳
Did I just hold my breath for 11 minutes? Wow.
Outstanding
4:00 Chuck Billy talks about surviving as i live my covid19 days ☠☠😅😅
Two complete bangers!!🤘🤘
That is how it is supposed to be done.
Cant wait to see these beasts in Glasgow in April!!
I’m seeing them this weekend preform the new order and the gathering in their entirety and I can’t wait to hear dnr live.
Eric Peterson, what a machine
Super musiciens de folies à prendre aux tripes !!!
These riffs are really great!
Back 1999 I used to crank this song while playing Quake III Arena. My kill ratio quadrupled.
So fu.in' good!!!
fantastic
Grandiose !
Putain super groupe de métal, d'une super énergie l!!!
Fantastiquement bon !!!
simplemente apoteósico! impresionantes! para siempre Testament!
Песня чумовая. Прям в учебники трэша
Excellent display of complete Badassery!
great great great great
/m\ Best Metal/trash Band ever. TESTAMENT
No one’s giving credit to the drummer. WHAT A FUCKING BEAST
D.N.R. This one of the hardest Testament songs this shit goes hard till I fucking die
Creo que fue una de las primeras bandas que escuche en este genero, inclusive antes que las bandas populares que ya todos conocemos. Como dice @mexikong00, nunca me canse de escuchar sus temas.
