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.
@@bcbitchkkv - 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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
The Gathering is one of my Favourite albums from the TestAmenTers !!! And they have too many Great albums to me !!! And in a concert they are Always a Total Blast !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
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
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...
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
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.
Eric is THEE riff master.
Eric Peterson wrote the best Testament Album!! The Gathering! ❣️
The guitar tone on The Gathering is untouchable!!
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 🤘

500 tons of pure metal
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.
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!!
Eric Peterson is a full-on Riff Lord & Alex Skolnick is just the master shredder
Best guitar duo in Metal
Period.
this performance is perfection!!!!
Chuck Billy’s voice is still amazing! Gene is frigging incredible machine, Erik and Alex are still vicious axe men!
Underrated is an understatement. One of the best that we will hear for the rest of our lives.
Gods on Guitar, Mr Eric Peterson and Mr Alex Skolnick they are great. I Love Testament
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
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!!
It's awesome that Chuck's voice didn't change one bit, but Hetfield does.
Get your yodel on.
Эти внезапные соляги Алекса - это неимоверно круто!
Testament favorite band of all time saw them 21 x
These dudes are crazy good musicians-!!! Hoglan on drums!!!!
Fuckn Aa!!!wanted to b a disciple of the watchhhhhhhh
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
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who loves most The Gathering album from all Testament albums. What a masterpiece!
Some things get better with age... These guys are amazing.
Sounds great. Seeing Alex play these songs is a trip, bad ass to see him busting them out.
Testament is getting better and better by time !
Man they sound amazing live. Super tight and a great sound crew.
truer words have never been spoken
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!!
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.
Holy shit that was powerful.
Testament still reign supreme!!
GOD BLESS THESE GUYS!!! SO HEAVY!! SO GREAT AT LIVE PERFORMANCES!!!!
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
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.
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! 🤘
Chuck Billy is the voice of Metal!
Outstanding.
The way they came in on 3 days of darkness with that drum fill was tasty 😋
I went to Testament around age 20. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life lol
CHUCK BILLY Kicked Cancer"s Ass!!!! CHUCK , you will knock Corona out in the first round// Get Well CHUCK!!
Testament is my favorite thrash band ever,Alex Skolnick is a beast 🤘🤘
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.
One of the few thrash bands that can go on the road with a band 20-30 years younger and not sound like dinosaurs
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.
Best album ever...

The best ever
This is why I love testament
Freaking underrated fo sure
Hail! TESTAMENT!
Chuck Billy has the coolest voice in thrash metal. Period.
all my life i listen to this guys i am 43 and i say they are the best band in the planet.
So awesome seeing Skolnick play this song as if he had a hand in writing it!
One of my favorites from Testament!
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!!
That is how it is supposed to be done.
Chuck has an awesome voice tight performance.
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
So proud about testament..
Always one of my bigest influences in music from when I was a kid..
seen these guys on the Practice what you preach tour. absolutely phenomenal to see live.
4:00 Chuck Billy talks about surviving as i live my covid19 days ☠☠😅😅
They are still a kickass legendary thrash band.....prove that ages just numbers for them
I love this band!
THIS WAS MY TESTAMENT, SINCE THE EARLY YEARS!!!
DNR in a word is AWESOME!
I can not get enough of this. Constantly listening to it over and over and over again. Fucking Thrash Riles.
These guys are pure class!!! Brilliant!!!
This was such a badass show I watched them last year to and it was killer.
Metallica (1986 - 91), Slayer, Sepultura (1989 - 93) and Testament - its my Big 4 of thrash metal
Did I just hold my breath for 11 minutes? Wow.
holy shit i didn't expect them to sound this good live 😳
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
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.
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
thank's to upload this video.
These guy sound great all the years I been listening to them. Should be more popular than they are.
Two complete bangers!!🤘🤘
Semplicemente GRANDI !!!
YES !!!
These riffs are really great!
Best metal band ever.
Besides Megadeth
No one’s giving credit to the drummer. WHAT A FUCKING BEAST
Зашибись, давно не сышал
Eric Peterson, what a machine
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.
Excellent display of complete Badassery!
Good Grief Gene is a monster!!!!
So fu.in' good!!!
D.N.R. This one of the hardest Testament songs this shit goes hard till I fucking die
Back 1999 I used to crank this song while playing Quake III Arena. My kill ratio quadrupled.
love how testament do the music like a ritual !!! the most trasher ritual !!!
simplemente apoteósico! impresionantes! para siempre Testament!
Песня чумовая. Прям в учебники трэша
Gordo Hoglan on drums. Awesome!
Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!
