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.
This line up kicked SO much ass ! Lombardo right after was absolutely insane and Dovas now is doing really well - they might change a few people here and there but they're like a big family and ALWAYS deliver ... most consistent and humble Thrash metal band out there - they deserve every inch of the fame they have and i think they should get more :)
I agree I've followed Gene Hoglan for years. One of Metals best drummers. Check out early days of Dark Angel and you know why Testament was glad to have him.😊
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.
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!
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.

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.
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"
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"
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.
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.
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
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
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!!
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.
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)
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!
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
I love Testament! Probably my favorite of the 80's thrash metal masters. It should be the big 5 to include them or perhaps the big 7 because Exodus and Death Angel are forces to reckon with. Alex is a true shredder and a guitar genius. All the members are incredibly talented, and for the singer, I would not like Testament if anyone ever took his place!!!
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.
I saw them first taking Megadeth´s spot at the imfamous Monsters Of Rock - Festival 1988 in Schweinfurt, Germoney. And they still rule. One of the best Thrash, nuh, one of the best metal bands ever!
30 YEARS after THE 'Dynamo' gig, Testament still sound great, but I miss Greg and Louis sound, no disrespect to either Steve di Giorgio & Gene Hogan (respectively) but I'm a very 'old school' an and miss the Origional sound - Chuck sounds great, as do Alex & Eric - Rock on lads!
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?
I've been a Testament fan since.....'89. I love watching Chuck Billy preform, who else thinks Chuck should pick up a guitar? He plays air guitar with his mic stand the entire show, he should just learn to play and join Eric & Alex...
Who gives a crap about that nonsense.. just enjoy the bands.. that shit don't matter.. no band is bigger than the other, all the 80s thrash bands are cool in they're own way.. what matters is the fans keep going to shows and supporting the band..
I find with comments like these, it depends on how young the person is< I came into thrash around 1983, so for me ALL the 1980-1990 Metal bands that still exist and gig, are THE consistent bands, and still sound great, just look & listen to Overkill and Annihilator for example :0)
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!
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.

They should have added Souls of Black and The Legacy to the playlist, anyway this is terrific.
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.
an 147 And Rise Up!
How is it possible they play any show without The New Order? Killer song and the best in their library.
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.
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?
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
madometal Damn right!
He’s always done solos.
Its a shame he isnt paying Alex and the others a fair wage.
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.

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.
Testament, aside from the classic first release is a heavier and tighter band without him...

And Andy LaRoqce played with Death's Individual Though Paterrns too
Always a pleasure to watch Testament
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.

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".
Alex inspired me to learn to play the guitar. But then i dropped the guitar, now i want to learn to play MIC-GUITAR just like chuck!
Fuck Yea!!
Chuck Billy; Master of the SHURE(only mic company that comes to mind)finger shredding
@@metaldad1967 Shure needs to get Chuck his own customized mic.
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!!!!

see 17:38 for example
Seamus RBNW you must be a joke. 56 mins concert and you are pointing out a few seconds? Are you and camera guy bros, or what?

@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.
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.
13:40 electric crown! I love the solo.
MY GOD SKOLNICK AND PETERSON A COUPLE GENIOUS OF THRASH METAL
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
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
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!!
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
What a solid performance. Testament 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The lineup in this band is legendary!
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.....
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.
Annihilator and wrath child America here

1990 with Megadeth and Judas Priest they stole the fucking show
Thrash with class...so glad i've met Chuck and Eric during their first tour in Australia..lots of banging ,stage diving and crowd surfing...
That bass tone is on point!!! Well done!!

I have always felt Testament was the best from the 80's they dont really put out bad albums, and they all still rip despite pushing 60 years old.
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.

30 YEARS after THE 'Dynamo' gig, Testament still sound great, but I miss Greg and Louis sound, no disrespect to either Steve di Giorgio & Gene Hogan (respectively) but I'm a very 'old school' an and miss the Origional sound - Chuck sounds great, as do Alex & Eric - Rock on lads!
Dynamo :) Brings back memories ;)
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?
Thanks for posting this! Testament and Anthrax are the masters of thrash!
I’ve recently gotten in to testament and they quickly became my favorite band I really wanna see them live because they sound great
Testament is Better Tha Big 4..😎🖤🔥🎶🎵🇵🇪🤘🏻
Facts
Wow what a band! I'm in love with Alex Skolnick playing guitar...
Testament deserves more respect.
Sounds fukn killer!! It's awesome seeing them rippin it up and having fun at the same time. Testament still THRASHIN!!!👊
Dark Roots of Earth 23:42 \m/
Love all the love for each member of the band on these comments !
Was a great show! I enjoyed so much!!!
Always a pleasure to watch Testament
Alex Skolnick is fucking unreal, one of the best shredders in the business
Dude... no offense, better than metallica.
They’ve ALWAYS been better than metallica.
Hispanic conservative they sound better live now but back then from 83-93 nobody could touch Metallica live
exodus did hahahah, metallica is blues rock band compared to the mighty unholy H-TEAM
@@bohdilama Damn Skippy!
@@teddyrodgers5917 wtf
I've been a Testament fan since.....'89. I love watching Chuck Billy preform, who else thinks Chuck should pick up a guitar? He plays air guitar with his mic stand the entire show, he should just learn to play and join Eric & Alex...
Testament, Overkill, Exodus, and Sepultura (with MAX) should be the BIG 4, NOT the other Jamoke bands!!
Jeremy Freeman I agree on your big 4 🤘🏽
Jeremy Freeman death angel.
Not megadeth?
And definitely not sepultura
Who gives a crap about that nonsense.. just enjoy the bands.. that shit don't matter.. no band is bigger than the other, all the 80s thrash bands are cool in they're own way.. what matters is the fans keep going to shows and supporting the band..
Bow to excellence and precision in the musicians the mighty TESTAMENT CREATED.
Should be more love for Gene Hoglan in the comments!!! \m/
Gene ATOMIC CLOCK Hoglan. Amazing drummer for decades!
Gene Hoglan stands alone. His legend needs no words.
This is the 2nd Testament concert I have watched this week, and NOT A FUCKING PHONE IN THE AIR!! \m/ \m/
If there was ever a competition of consistent quality music released in heavy metal Testament wins. Accept, Priest, Dio, Sepultura comes close.
Sepultura? They haven't released a good album since Arise. You forgot to mention Overkill.
Cenot4ph Roorback, Dante XXI, Mediator, Machine messiah are all great albums. Yes Overkill are consistent too.
Johan Olofsson kreator, artillery, voivod, annihilator, flotsam and jetsam, exodus, death angel, metal church, etc. are great also
sepultura bullshit isnt big
I find with comments like these, it depends on how young the person is< I came into thrash around 1983, so for me ALL the 1980-1990 Metal bands that still exist and gig, are THE consistent bands, and still sound great, just look & listen to Overkill and Annihilator for example :0)
always loved how chuck plays air guitar with his mic, i would totally do this too if i was in his shoes!
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!
August 3rd I'll being watching Slayer, Testament, Anthrax and Lamb of God. Can't wait!
Excellent video btw
Centuries of Suffering 10:13 😁
Lol! yep they chunked it up pretty bad there. It happens to the best!
Killer Set List! Congrats you folks! long Live to Testament!
,..Gene Hoglan on Drumms,....King!
These guys are so amazing, because they're still in their prime today! Both live and in their albums. BOTS was fantastic
