+Roberto F. AH OK, the old Sepultura with the Cavalera Bros. Yeah I love Beneath.., Arise and Chaos A.D., but after that they played only shit. I think that isn´t enough to get in this league of outstanding Metal bands which formed Metal over decades.
FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! FUCKING BRUTAL!!! Til this day, these guys can put a show and Chuck Billy sounds amazing after fighting off throat cancer!!! These guys fucking rule!!!!
Got to love reading all these "Big Four" comments. You people do realize that it's not a "Top Four" list, right? They're not the Big Four because they're the best or better than other bands, they're the Big Four because they pioneered the genre and made it possible for other bands to get their foot in the door/paved the way for Death Angel, Testament, Overkill, Vio-lence, Pantera, Sepultura and many others. Yes there were other bands out at the time like Exodus and etc. but these guys were on another level. You show respect to the forefathers of Thrash and appreciate what they did for Metal not make a list of who you think is more deserving of their legacy.
Vio-Lence literally has 1 good album, eternal nightmare, oppressing the masses is destroyed by the likes of rust in peace and seasons in the abyss for 2 popular egs from the same year, and no they arent just the big 4 because they pioneered, they are the big 4 coz their masterpieces as recognized as gold standards in metal, so stop this retarded false pretense about the big 4 just being the big 4 only coz of them being pioneers lol
+markyboyire The fact they sold more records is why they are part of the Big Four. What's so hard to believe about that? Listen I am a much bigger Testament fan than I am an Anthrax fan, but it's not hard to realize that the "Big Four" are called that because they are the 4 "biggest" bands in Thrash. Anthrax was a lot more known on a commercial level, a lot more popular. That's what puts them in the Big Four. It's not called the Big Four because it's the 4 best bands. It's the 4 biggest.
Amazing performance. Chuck and Alex headbanging like a beast. I could just watch them headbang like that for hours let alone listen to and watch their performance.
IIIRattleHeadIII In 1993, Alex Skolnick and Louie Clemente were temporarily replaced respectively by Glen Alvelais and Paul Bostaph, both belonging to the Forbidden band. This formation published the live EP "Return to the Apocalyptic City". Shortly after this release, Glen Alvelais left the band and Paul Bostaph joined the Slayers.
That bass tone! I saw Testament support Anthrax in 1988, and I pitied Dan Spitz listening backstage to Alex Skolnick's incredible solo spot and knowing he had to do one later!
claudio benavidez ahora mismo están súper vigentes aun , girando por el mundo , con la compañía de steve di giorgio en bajo y gene hoglan en batería , los demás , los de siempre
This particular live is part of the Return to the Apocalyptic City mcd! They NEVER disappoint and they MUST be at Big 4 not Anthrax imo! They have NEVER released a bad album!!🤘🤘

This is awesome Testament trivia history! I knew Bostaph played/recorded with them on (a couple occasions?) but didn't recall Glen in the band. I know they've had A LOT of members come and go over the years. Looks like I need to get my hands on that EP. (I thought that sounded like Bostaph's playing, in the video...)
Salve amantes do trash metal.o Rock não deve morrer a mídia tenta apagar o velho e bom rock sé depender de mim o verdadeiro Rock viverá ...............
The most underrated thrash metal band ever.
Underrated by who?
Alex un moustro en las 6 cuerdas..leyenda
One of the greatest metal bands of all time..
+Roberto F. Exodus and Dark Angel as well. two thrash giants. I'd put Death Angel right behind them.
+Roberto F. Change Sepultura with Kreator, that would be the same league.
+Roberto F. AH OK, the old Sepultura with the Cavalera Bros. Yeah I love Beneath.., Arise and Chaos A.D., but after that they played only shit. I think that isn´t enough to get in this league of outstanding Metal bands which formed Metal over decades.

Absol-farking-lutely
FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! FUCKING BRUTAL!!! Til this day, these guys can put a show and Chuck Billy sounds amazing after fighting off throat cancer!!! These guys fucking rule!!!!
Testament is the band that made me pick up and play bass. Top 4 best metal bands ever
Got to love reading all these "Big Four" comments.
You people do realize that it's not a "Top Four" list, right?
They're not the Big Four because they're the best or better than other bands,
they're the Big Four because they pioneered the genre and made it possible
for other bands to get their foot in the door/paved the way for Death Angel, Testament, Overkill,
Vio-lence, Pantera, Sepultura and many others.
Yes there were other bands out at the time like Exodus and etc. but these guys were on another level.
You show respect to the forefathers of Thrash and appreciate what they did for Metal not make a list of who
you think is more deserving of their legacy.
Chill. This is the free world. Plus, people pick their favorites. There's no disrepect. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Peace. ✌🤘😎🌹🌷
What's pantera have to do with anything?
Vio-Lence literally has 1 good album, eternal nightmare, oppressing the masses is destroyed by the likes of rust in peace and seasons in the abyss for 2 popular egs from the same year, and no they arent just the big 4 because they pioneered, they are the big 4 coz their masterpieces as recognized as gold standards in metal, so stop this retarded false pretense about the big 4 just being the big 4 only coz of them being pioneers lol
Flotsam and Jetsam were one helluva band
@@yvonnegoodman1427 Hes not wrong.
how anthrax sold more records and are considered part of the big four compared to these guys completely baffles me
+markyboyire Overkill and Testament own Anthrax
+markyboyire Anthrax gravitated towards a nicer kinder form of metal, Testament stayed thrash.

Big Four is based on influence. Testament came out much later.
Anthrax coined the term Thrash from they're song Metal Thrashing Mad. So yeah...
They deserve to be the big five!....What a Sound!
Awesome. Classic tune, classic band. Disciples....OF THE WATCH!!!!!!!! Hail Testament.
Chuloloc *OBEY*

Oka! THE BEST GENERATION TO THE MÚSIC 80's & 90's. !m! 🎸♪ ♬
GABRIEL BEHD CLASSIC.
Everything up until the 2000's you ask me.
More like 70s, 80s and 90s
That bass is a monster.
I remember seeing them in the 80s.. What ever happened to real music?
Testament is still putting it out!
@@stevepolgar2000 Slot of bands are still putting it out. The question is where were you in the 90s, 00s, and 10s?
grew up listening to this shit still one of my all time favorite bands to this day great riffs great drums kick ass fkn vocals
Got to love Alex Skolnick’s shredding and Chuck Billy’s battery acid vocals,It just makes you want to go out and kick somebody’s ass
I fucking love Testament's bass tone its trembling heavy and shakes me up to the core
omg what a fucking heavy song
Vasilios Petris put it together with the clean intro = masterpiece
The headbanging is unmatched, fuckin brutal song and solo
The highest quality in this performance. They sound just perfect and that's the way it should be! \m/
Testament ! Always kicking ass!!!
Testament...pure thrash metal ever and forever !!!
That bass tone! I saw Testament support Anthrax in 1988, and I pitied Dan Spitz listening backstage to Alex Skolnick's incredible solo spot and knowing he had to do one later!
que tema ,que grupo..testament en la mejor epoca ..que mas.....
claudio benavidez Buena cancion tienes razon
claudio benavidez ahora mismo están súper vigentes aun , girando por el mundo , con la compañía de steve di giorgio en bajo y gene hoglan en batería , los demás , los de siempre
I LOVE TESTAMENT😍😍😍😍😍😍. CHUCK BILLY HAS THE PERFECT VOICE🤗🤗🤗
The only true metal band that hasn't got enough respect ...these guys really kick ass
The Bassist is Absolutely Awes. Souls Of Black
chuck billy incredible
This particular live is part of the Return to the Apocalyptic City mcd! They NEVER disappoint and they MUST be at Big 4 not Anthrax imo! They have NEVER released a bad album!!🤘🤘
Anthrax totally deserves the spot, also Testament Is a second wave thrash metal band, big 4 are the First wave.
Their tone and heavy riffs are off the chain!!!!!!!😇😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
the very first testament song i heard 20 years ago!
yeah man ..... me too.... i was totally amazed!
same here lol wasnt 20 years ago since im only 20 but yeah. i love playing the solo :D its a challenge
most energetic solo ever!
congratulaions!!!!
my first song i heard from them to 26 years ago
One of the best thrash metal bands ever
Definitely should be in the big 4..greatest thrash band
Best band in the world! ! !
J Madison saw them open up for priest in 91 Megadeth also jammed rust in peace and souls of black painkiller headlined
You can Chuck's highs fading away and his big low end voice kicking in.
The most consistent band in metal, they have never released a bad album 🤘🏻💀
Great sound quality wow
Testament most righteously deserves to make the "Big 4" the "Big 5". The new Brotherhood of the Snake album absolutely cements this. Crushing.
Right!And Exodus are the big 6th
I can't believe that this is so great
Return to the apocalyptic city EP
Bought that in 1994 and it blew me away! Had to buy a second disc cause my first mysteriously vanished when someone moved.
Hands down the best Thrash Metal band of all time.
