TESTAMENT - Practice What You Preach - Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival 2017 . Tilte : Practice What You Preach Ronnie James Dio Stage www.bloodstock....
This solo part is a real guitar lesson. It has all techniques. Harmonics,blues, chromatic content( like piano classics),legatto, and dramatic melody progressions with pedal note. Skolnick is..great.
Skolnick is so amazing on lead. Kinda feels like he is underappreciated in the guitar community today. He really should be put in the same category as guys like Rhoads and Dimebag IMO.
@@saraivatoledo1842 That's not what I said. I was making the point that Skolnick doesn't seem to get as much recognition as other guitar players nowadays. Which is a shame, because Alex always writes such memorable solos.
When ESP has 4 of his signature guitars and Engl has his signature amp in production today, it's hard to say that he is not appreciated. They just play old-school metal, not metalcore or black metal of the modern type. Actually I might get the esp ec + SD JB for D standard, not everything must be tuned to C or B. Great liquid crunch of the pushed power amp and the NOISE ))))
@@PeterVenkman_666 Ha, that made me spray coffee out my nose when I read it! Oddly enough, after 30 years of playing, the best I ever was was about as good as Kirk in his prime. In Alex Skolnick's book, he details his opinion of Kirk's lead guitar playing when he first heard it. Claim Kirk's solos had great personality but were a bit punk rockish in execution.
I’m glad Alex’s finally using a whammy on his Les Paul. The whammy dips on the solo outro sound so much better compared to the improvisational bending he used to do with a regular Les Paul. Also, Chuck’s air guitar skills are hilarious 😂
People go see Testament for 1. Chuck's godly vox 2. Alex's Shredding leads 3. Eric's Amazing Riffs 4. The tightness and intensity of the Rhythm Section 5. The great songwriting.
Eric Peterson is so underrated, not to take away from Skolnick of course but Peterson has been the musical heart of this band since its inception (Legacy and then, Testament). He rips as a guitarist. His riffs are heavy and full of punch. He and Chuck have kept the band going through difficult times but Eric deserves for recognition than he gets. And though there are some who don't like it, I dig his side project Dragonlord.
Saw Testament live in a shitty little uni bar in Sydney a few years back and despite the years that have passed they were still amazing and were so amazingly cool with the crowd. Testament - the most underestimated metal band eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chuck likes playing air guitar with his mic stand LOL. He’s a really underrated singer. He’s way better than Dave Mustaine but he never gets the credit. For that matter Testament deserves credit for being there at the beginning when thrash metal started. The big 4 should be the big 6. Testament, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Overkill.
It's rare to have the extreme pleasure to see what is without doubt one of the best solos in thrash being played with such gusto by the original composer no less! It may never be the best thrash metal solo but by the gods above and below, Alex Skolnick is a beast!

Gustav Bogren He sounds pretty great at this concert actually . But he used all of his enegry to the end , and that’s the result . Actually he sounds pretty good at disciples of the watch too , and disciples was after the p.w.y.p . It should be technical difficulties imo
Shane Bickmore had nothing to do with cancer! He sounds great if not better now. It was his sound man. Towards the end picks it up. You can see chuck keep askin an looking towards him in the beginning
I remember buying "The Legacy" summer before 1988 hs senior year started. I was in a school in Mississippi that was like 98 percent black. Hmmm looking back I think I was the only black kid there with this album! I was the kid who was a poison and motley Crue fan before meeting a cousin of mine that was into the harder stuff. So, I was at a record store about to buy the ex Kiss guitarist, Ace Frehley's album, Frehley's Comet, I saw the Testament artwork and bought both. This was at Pop Tunes, a r cord store in Memphis, TN., dang I miss record stores. The attendant was like, " You sure I wanna get those!", but was smiling with it so I was like...... Yeah!!! Loved both albums bit damn, that testament album was so brutal and raw, to me dark and hahaha, I had a Peavey patriot guitar and wanted to start a speed/thrash metal, hahahaha, a 17 year old black kid in Mississippi in 1987!! Damn, I love your music Testament! Thanks for those albums!!
What nincompoop recorded/cut the video? Alex starts his solo - camera still on Eric. Chuck is complaining on stage that the backing chorus is not comming - ye, let's grab that. wotdafak
Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick - probably the most underrated metal guitar duo of all time.
Agree 100%
Peterson, Skolnick, Billy trio 😄
U forgot criss oliva from Savatage
Dude… what about Louie Clemente???? The guy never gets mentioned as one of the greatest drummers in metal and the motherfckr is a drum machine!
Alex went lame ...he's not wat he use to be
This solo part is a real guitar lesson. It has all techniques. Harmonics,blues, chromatic content( like piano classics),legatto, and dramatic melody progressions with pedal note. Skolnick is..great.
And of course ( sweep) arpeggios
The very best thrash metal solo ever created.
@@ricardosilva-cy3xe apart from over the wall.
@@ricardosilva-cy3xe marty friedman and jeff waters has entered the chat
Spoken like someone desperately trying to sound like they know what they're talking about.
One of the strongest lineups in metal today.
the fact that Skolnick, Hoglan and Di Georgio are in the same band still amazes me to this day, it's so sick
Schuldiner would've definitely recruited Skolnick if he were given a chance
@@russell2890 I agree. I'd love to hear Chuck on vocals on this tune. I think he'd do a killer job!
Yea it's honestly retarded lol
@@bucknasty69 chucks getn old..he seem exhausted
Skolnick is so amazing on lead. Kinda feels like he is underappreciated in the guitar community today. He really should be put in the same category as guys like Rhoads and Dimebag IMO.
Dimebag " underappreciated " ? Dude , would it be too much asking where you´ve been getting your gear from , please ?
@@saraivatoledo1842 That's not what I said. I was making the point that Skolnick doesn't seem to get as much recognition as other guitar players nowadays. Which is a shame, because Alex always writes such memorable solos.
@@neckcheese1356 Sorry ! You´re absolutely right , misread the comment ... perhaps I should give you my connections instead ...

Tru..but effecive
You gotta give it to Chuck... He's out there giving it all he's got after battling cancer. You *FUCKING ROCK CHUCK BILLY!!!* 🤘🏽😎
Look how happy Chuck is.playing air guitar.
Chuck's stand-guitar playing is unmatched
I play the guitar just like chuck does
wooow, awesome
I play it like Alex would wasted and with arthritis
@@nigel7779 like Kirk?

@@imvandenh you're as good as kirk in his prime eh? Better get up on that stage and into the studio and prove it buddy
Alex shredding a solo and the camera is on the rhythm guitar.....
Brian Miller i notice that too. I was like. What the FUCK. I WANNA see that Guitar solo by ALEX SKOLNICK
Damm camera man
I hope you know Alex skolnick and Eric peterson are both lead guitarist because there both very great guitarist.
Proud to be an American alex is main lead. And is the best metal lead guitarist possibly all around too!
@@Joetrout+1
@@proudtobeanamerican1997 yes but at the time Alex was playing the lead and the camera guy failed
Alex's performance is next-level. The way he holds that thing as if it's an exhibition in solo demonstration is great.
I’m glad Alex’s finally using a whammy on his Les Paul. The whammy dips on the solo outro sound so much better compared to the improvisational bending he used to do with a regular Les Paul. Also, Chuck’s air guitar skills are hilarious 😂
@blackcamelify Yup, my bad. Lovely guitar!
I wish he'd go back to his classic Ibanez axes...his old S540 in metallic red was too cool back in the day!
@@bucknasty69 It's still cool to this day. It looked so sleek and thin. And I bet it has active pickups.
People go see Testament for 1. Chuck's godly vox 2. Alex's Shredding leads 3. Eric's Amazing Riffs 4. The tightness and intensity of the Rhythm Section 5. The great songwriting.
Love the gnarly bass tone!
Chuck´s guitar skills are amazing.
LOL

Is this lineup the exact same from the original video back in the 80s?
Alex Skolnick makes guitar playing look so easy.
Probably my favorite album from them
I got ..The Album...Legacy...i was 22 years old...Its nice to see that where still Going STRONG..💪
Im 57 in September 2020....
Saw Testament live in a shitty little uni bar in Sydney a few years back and despite the years that have passed they were still amazing and were so amazingly cool with the crowd. Testament - the most underestimated metal band eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not really a shiity bar quite a good venue for metal bands
I always love seeing Chuck so into Alex's solos.
Chuck Billy playing that damn air guitar love it
Still to this day my favorite solo by a
musical genius. \m/ \m/ You rock Alex Scholnick.
Alex is the master of sweep-picking - no contest.
Gene and Steve the single best rhythm section in metal
One of my favourite metal guitarist couple,Alex and Eric are monsters
Always excited to see notifications for Testament
Testament are a VERY underrated band
El solo de Skolnick... que se podia esperar de uno de los mejores alumnos de Satriani. Excelente.

I can't turn this song up loud enough. Rockin.
You think your life's so gray
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make, your mind goes blank
And then you lose control
Then you lose control
I never was the one, the one to say the things you say
Never seem to wonder what you say
You think you got your life completely in control
You got a lot to learn, the bridge you burned
It's gonna take its toll
Pay the burnt bridge toll
So practice what you preach
Practice what you preach
Preach!
Practice what you preach
Practice what you preach
Preach!
Practice what you preach
You think your life's so gray
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make, your mind goes blank
And then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll
Then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll
So practice what you preach
So practice what you preach
Preach!
Practice what you preach
Practice what you preach
Preach!
Eric Peterson=Riff Master
SKOLNICK!!!!! WHAT A BEAST
Gene, Greg, Eric, Alek... the best players on their instruments nowadays
Greg isn't in the band anymore, that's Steve Digiorgio playing with them now

I'm waiting for see them in Mexico @ Hell& Heaven!!!!
Chuck clearly disappointed about his voice, poor Chuck had to push it so hard.
Technical difficulties!
That's what happens when you're battling cancer. He was really struggling here. He's such an amazing singer and person.
He sounds awesome on the records tho

Sorry, Anthrax. You've been kicked out of the Big 4.
Testament was always the big 4. Dont know where anthrax ever came into the picture 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Someone should get Chuck a guitar with a mic at the end of it.
Haha yeh funny as fuck right on
That would be so AWESOME!!
Legends
Legendary
Alex is just amazing !
The greatest METALLICA cover band ever! ;)
Skolnick shows you every fucking trick in the book, and dares you to learn it. Awesome.
Man I miss concerts. Chuck is the man!

Hail Alex Skolnick!🤘
2:39 James is that you?! Lol
VoraciousSouls95 Good catch!
Practice What You Preach is my favorite Testament song
I haven't read the comments yet but I'm guessing 95% are about Alex . The other 5 % is probably about how they should be in the big 4 .
Always feeling good listening to this song
Great album and tour!!@!
um dos solos mais lindos do metal!
Só perde pra Tornado of Souls (Megadeth) e Return to Serenety, do próprio Testament kkk.
Testament is legendary in history of thrash metal...respect \m/
Testament the Mighty, FOREVER!
In case you didn't know, Alex Skolnick is a goddamn badass.
Alex, Eric, Chuck, Steve and uncle Eugene...
Eric peterson is great on the riff department especially
I saw the Practice What You Preach tour back in the day. Bogarts in Cincinnati.
Pedazo!!
Bay area THRASHERS never mail it in. Always the best professional musicians they take massive pride in their craft.
Still kicking ass.
Great!
Yes!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏👼

Hell fuck yeah! I love Testament!
Don’t care much for these guys, but I must admit, Skolnick plays clean as fuck, dude is always super relaxed
How Testament wasn't in the big four instead of Anthrax I will never understand.
