This is arguably the best line up Testament has had; DiGiorgio and Hoglan with Peterson are a relentless rhythm unit; Skolnick is in a league of his own in terms of lead work and Chuck Billy remains one of the most unique, original and consistent singers in metal. What a great band.
Testament Live Bloodstock Open Air 2017 Setlist: 1.-Brotherhood Of The Snake (01:08) 2.-The Pale King (05:32) 3.-Centuries Of Suffering (10:13) 4.-Electric Crown (14:38) 5.-Into The Pit (20:40) 6.-Dark Roots Of Earth (23:43) 7.-Stronghold (29:54) 8.-Low (34:19) 9.-Practice What Your Preach (38:12) 10.-Disciples Of The Watch (43:44) 11.-The Formation Of Damnation (48:35)
Hearing "Electric Crown", "Into the Pit" and "Practice what you Preach" made me happy. It reminded me of the days when metal was still kick ass and no headbangers had to have their metal categorized. Chuck Billy is still awesome.
Chuck plays that mic-stand like no other. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does the singer play anything, sure he plays the mic stand. It's a spectacle to see. Even better when he comes down off stage directly in front of you. Then it took the pit push him back on the stage. That was a gig.
It ought to be considered crime to not have the camera on the lead guitarist when they are playing their solo for the song. A federal offense when it is Alex Skolnick.
On Drums: Gene Hoglan On Lead Guitar: Eric Peterson On Rythym Guitar: Alex Skolnick On Bass Guitar: Steve Di Giorgio And On Lead Vocals and Microphone Guitar: Chuck Billy
Jeremy Vaughan aahhhh. A snowflake millennial pretending to be a testament fan A true fan would know Skolnick is the true lead guitar in the band. Been following testament since back in the 80s.
Not that the replacements are a bad fit but I did also enjoy listening and watching Louie Clementi and Greg Christian were fucking awesome with Testament.
Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio are one of the best rhythm sections metal has ever known. Even before Testament, their work on Death's Individual Thought Patterns album was and remains phenomenal!
I'm always expecting to see Greg Christian on Bass, then it's the new Bass player Steve! 🤔😏😂 LOL 🤙🤘✌️👍 I'm just so used to seeing Greg what is he up to these day's, I'm an old Thrash Metalhead, seen Testament numerous times always Outstanding love these dude's! I've never seen them live with Steve yet I do miss Greg standing there on Stage just seems weird to me nothing against Steve.......................... 🤔

Congrats to the camera guy who had shown every damn thing on and around the stage but the soloist during the solos. I wish he had taped some pigeons too. I love to watch pigeons during a heavy metal solo!!!!
cyjazz no actually. This is recorded live. The camera guy I'm talking about is not the man behind the camera. I am talking about the man behind the desk managing the multiple cams, who has no idea what to focus in a metal concert. I myself had to step in and set the eq properly in several occasions in different festivals and concerts where the mixer guy had no idea what he was doing and one even asked me "what on earth a limiter was" . My point is " If you can't do your job properly what the hell are you doing there"
Alex is one of the best lead players in metal IMO. No-one creates a mood better while laying out a melodic dark undercurrent. Definitely one of my favorites.
geniuses indeed, my friends. Madometal said it best...pass it on-these men deserve more $ AND recognition. Treat your ears to the finest-buy any testament song or album theres not one bad song
What an awesome bunch of dudes still having fun performing after all these years. And Skolnick's solos are incredibly spot on, while still adding his own unique twist to them.
Amid all the guitars, drums and vocals onslaught, the BASS playing actually SHINES through this performance! Kudos to Steve for showcasing his bass playing PROWESS!!!
That it is, A them boys like many, many others would agree....your only as you feel and Alex along withe Eric Petersen have and always keep on provin' it!!! " KEEP ON KICKIN" DAT ASS GUYS"
I agree on the talent. But there's never a bad slayer show, regardless if jeff and Dave aren't there, and dave is supposed to be showing up on some of the dates. I'm gettin ready to see both next month. And I can't wait to fuck some shit up.
I saw Slayer a year or two ago with Death Angel and Anthrax, it wasn't bad by any means but Tom and Kerry seemed like they were kinda phoning it in a bit (Gary Holt went mad though!) I think this final tour is the right time for them, and the line up kicks so much ass!
Testament in my opinion is the greatest Thrash Metal band ever!!! All 12 studio albums they have done are all amazing to me. Chuck Billy is the perfect frontman and singer. The whole band is amazing at their instruments. Alex and Eric are a great guitar duo. Steve is a great bass guitar player, he Gene is a beast on the drums. Testament live is much better than even their studio albums.
Yep. You can't fake it live. I think their recordings are honest, not overly produced. Crisp sound. Skolnick could play an ukelele without amplification and still kill it!!
It shouldnt have been called the big 4, it should have been called the big 5 with Testament on the bill. I dont care what anyone says these guys are LEGENDS. Practice what you preach is a classic. Alex is one of the all time best metal/thrash guitarists.
It is the solo plus the changes in the rhythm guitar. I always thought Testament where worthy heirs of Maiden -in their very own way. Gave a Billy before nasal Dick-inson any time
Wow so many times hearing James Murphy cover Alex Skolnick's solos, it was nice to see Alex return the favor! Great set! Glad they threw Low in there! One of their best albums! They should play more off that
My god! Chuck's voice only gets more brutal over the years!! I saw him this year and it was insane in rock in rio! He performed 3 songs only but were unforgetable ones! LONG LIVE TESTAMENT AND THRASH METAL!
Listened to them in hs in the late eighties. But only saw them in the 90s. Lucky for me they were doing small clubs. Chuck is a tall f-er. And his hand shake is like devastating. I'm glad that Alex is back and they get the respeck they deserve or at least better than they did in the nineties.
I caught them on that New Order tour as well. I may have seen them earlier. For sure at one of the shows Chuck Billy did a stage dive right onto my head. He was a big guy so I guess I'm lucky I suffered no damage.
as usual, Alex shows he is world class, in the running for best ever guitarist in the world, BUT Eric shows he is right there with him, although not as "popular." Heck, from a lifelong fan, Eric may even be better IMHO. He is a monster if you pay attention. Either way, Testament, is world class and should be recognized as one of the top bands in the world.
Agreed. I personally think Eric Peterson is up there with Hetfield in terms of rhythm guitar skill, some of the best, crushing riffs in metal have come from Eric Peterson, and his leads are not bad at all.
Saw these guys two weeks ago in Manchester and they were fuckin awesome... the energy is unreal. I’ve seen people make comments for the likes of Metallica slowing down because they’ve gotten “older” over time. These guys still lead the way in metal for me. 🤘 (big Metallica fan before I get hated on haha)
Chuck is the best metal singers ever par none. I’ve been playing guitar for years and this band was hugely influential to me. Alex skolnick is amazing Eric Peterson is amazing but chuck is just amazing his voice can hit all kinds of different ranges and every range of his is great.
I go all the way back to the days of The Legacy and Practice what you Preach. I still love the Big 4 but Testament will always be my favorite. Should be the Big 5. Wanna see you guys again soon.
Watch there London concert and the second have of the show is all the original member, the singer says it's been awhile with all original member playing together and man they sound great.
I saw them when nobody knew who they were back in the 80s and they opened up for Anthrax and Metalchurch at the Santa Monica civic.....and here they are kickin ass still....they are fn amazing.
Thang WOO no it’s those crappy digital kemper amps that sound like shit. nothing beats a miced up cab to fill the room instead of some digital sim going front of house without the same dynamics.
arjan snijder don’t get your parities in a bunch. Were you there? Probably not. I was. And it didn’t sound anything like this. Stop letting Kemper amps be your default argument.
Arjan Snijder, objectively false. Kemper profiles sound as close to the analog version as possible. Check out Andy Sneaps AB tests if you even pretend to care about objectivity. Furthermore, the reason for this sounding crap, is because the audio's taken directly from the board and then streamed live. There's no post processing, no mixing. Just raw audio.
You can tell Alex doesn't enjoy playing songs from albums he wasn't on like Low, but the fact still remains that Testament is the best thrash metal band ever by far.
Chuck is the best and most enthusiastic vocalist ever he's well cute in a non gay way how he air guitars bless him What a fuckin true guy more people in metal should be like this guy always a pleasure watching these guys play
Time after time, year after year and the Testament just becoming a better band. That's one of the best bands of trash metal. The riffs, the voice, everything. That's great!
I still think they don't belong in the Big Four of Thrash, for one reason only. They are the BIG ONE! What a criminally underrated band, Skolnick is a legend and Peterson is a riff monster, need I mention the Chuck and the cyborg sitting on the drums too?
This set makes me want to get back into Testament again. I kind of fell off them after Formation of Damnation (amazing album btw). I didn't lose interest, I just got really busy in life and didn't have time to get into their new albums. I love Testament and I don't even know half these songs :(
You won't be disappointed. The latest Dark roots, Snake and Titans are awesome. Cant wait for them to record with Lombardo now. Chuck is as brutal as melodic, what a voice. They are classic thrash yet they don't sound tiring. Secret? Tons of talent
Eric is using E V H . Awesome!! They still sound bad ass! Keep it up dudes I know we're get'n up there glad to see metal is still alive and thrashin!\m/
You know I guess I never realized that testament is my favorite band. I watch all their shows and have been to dozens. They never ever let down and i have never seen them have a bad show...just solid metal and a good time. Wow i never realized that till now!
Just give Chuck his own guitar...
LOL. He needs a custom guitar with a mic at the end of the neck. :D
or at least a flute!
😅
he gets a triangle.
I wonder if he can play for real too?
Eric Peterson is one of the most underrated rhythm guitarists of the thrash metal scene. Great to see these guys killing it in 2018!
@steve k. Underrated lead player as well
mjbrands couldn’t agree more . Eric is a full-on, Grade A , Riff Lord
He & Alex are the best guitar tandem in Metal
Yes I said that
and still riffin it
Always considered the best thrash rhythm guitarist.
its a shame he isnt paying Alex and the others a fair wage.

How is it possible they play any show without The New Order? Killer song and the best in their library.
Everyone's always talking about alex and peter playing great solos and all, but they will never be as good as chuck billy playing mic-guitar
Chuck shreds the ever loving fuck out of a mic! No shredding mic solo, no Testament.
Chuck plays that mic-stand like no other. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does the singer play anything, sure he plays the mic stand. It's a spectacle to see. Even better when he comes down off stage directly in front of you. Then it took the pit push him back on the stage. That was a gig.

Not that the replacements are a bad fit but I did also enjoy listening and watching Louie Clementi and Greg Christian were fucking awesome with Testament.
All four of the original line-up were at least one level above the skill of Louie Clemente's drumming.
when you guys gonna play return to serenity live ?
This is true.

Peterson is an amazing guitarist and now he's doing solos as well ...what a legend ...skolnik and peterson ...the tipton and downing of thrash

He’s always done solos.
Its a shame he isnt paying Alex and the others a fair wage.

ME TOO
Saw these legends in Dublin last week. What a show!! What a band!!! Testament Legions Forever 🤘🤘
ireland or california?
Alex is one of the best lead players in metal IMO. No-one creates a mood better while laying out a melodic dark undercurrent. Definitely one of my favorites.
Skolnick is such a freakin beast still after all these years
Testament has stood the test of time.
It's called well Seasoned...
Actually you can only get better if you play guitar that much for so many years.
He is Mastrclass Beast today :)
yup, like Marty Friedman says, "if you're doing something all the time, you should get better, not worse".
Testament has truly aged well
MY GOD SKOLNICK AND PETERSON A COUPLE GENIOUS OF THRASH METAL

You wish you'd like to see 'em? What spirit is that?!
Every time i watch their live show, music sounds like they never get older.
Yeah, totally agree. Was just messing with you :D
Everyone in this band is so fucking talented, they deserve so much more credit!
I would see them 1000 times before modern day Slayer tbh.

@Sweet Jones III are pantera rlly thrash tho?
@Sweet Jones III because that's what it is..it's just thrash bands!
it should've been the talented and big 4 of Thrash, and taken out Anthrax. and take Mustaine's vocal mic away. perfect show.
The day that Chuck dies, thrash metal and metal in general will lose one of his greatest legends both as an artist and also as a human being ...
Chuck is a legend? As Lemmy, he'll never die...
please paisan, no talk about Chuck passing, grazie
Have you heard something I've not about Chuck?! 🤔
Death could come to any of us at any time. Talking about Chucks death is a bit out of place.
"Chuck" Schuldiner
Man, that solo in "Practice What You Preach" is in the same league of the one on Megadeth's "Tornado Of Souls"; easily!! A true Thrash Metal gem!!!!
It's way better
It is the solo plus the changes in the rhythm guitar. I always thought Testament where worthy heirs of Maiden -in their very own way. Gave a Billy before nasal Dick-inson any time
The lineup in this band is legendary!
Testament rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE perfect thrash metal band
Hell Of Performence.
Testament You Are ALWAYS Damn
AMAZING YEHHHH
30 years and these guys are still fucking awesome! you don't see this kind of dedication anymore. Alex and Eric still Fucking shred. Dammit man.....
Wow so many times hearing James Murphy cover Alex Skolnick's solos, it was nice to see Alex return the favor! Great set! Glad they threw Low in there! One of their best albums! They should play more off that

Sound off old school metal heads. I first saw Testament on the New Order tour 1988. Testament, Voi Vod and Vio-lence.
hell yeah! saw em in 89' with nuclear assault & savatage.great concert. rock on old skool m head!
Listened to them in hs in the late eighties. But only saw them in the 90s. Lucky for me they were doing small clubs. Chuck is a tall f-er. And his hand shake is like devastating. I'm glad that Alex is back and they get the respeck they deserve or at least better than they did in the nineties.

One of the few bands to stay true to themselves and their sound. I love testament.
The best!
August 3rd I'll being watching Slayer, Testament, Anthrax and Lamb of God. Can't wait!
Excellent video btw
Testament was one of the first bands I ever got into way back in The New Order era, and they're still going at such a high level. Very cool.

You can tell Alex doesn't enjoy playing songs from albums he wasn't on like Low, but the fact still remains that Testament is the best thrash metal band ever by far.
He can't play some of Murphy's solos, like Dog Faced Gods. I guess that's the real reason why he doesn't enjoy that material much.
I am pretty sure he can play anything you put in front of him. He's a top 5 (in my opinion) metal guitarist of all time.
They need to play more songs from The Gathering, such as Legions of the Dead.
empirikal09 they need to play at least anything from demonic

You won't be disappointed. The latest Dark roots, Snake and Titans are awesome. Cant wait for them to record with Lombardo now. Chuck is as brutal as melodic, what a voice. They are classic thrash yet they don't sound tiring. Secret? Tons of talent

Eric is using E V H . Awesome!! They still sound bad ass! Keep it up dudes I know we're get'n up there glad to see metal is still alive and thrashin!\m/
Wow what a band! I'm in love with Alex Skolnick playing guitar...
My hero alex skolnick is there....love u master...
You know I guess I never realized that testament is my favorite band. I watch all their shows and have been to dozens. They never ever let down and i have never seen them have a bad show...just solid metal and a good time. Wow i never realized that till now!
Chuck is such a happy dude love this guy
Seen them with SLAYER 92' In Detroit, Great show. Glad to see Alex back.
