I can’t believe these guys are still around, and they even spoke about chuck. Unreal
They are all class. They keep chuck's memory alive!
The thought of the both of them and Sklonick playing together is insane
That's Chuck's legacy bro
Got to see the DTA tour with these 2 badasses. Fuckin incredible live musicians. Finest in metal!\m/
@@papagregorio6688 I'm jealous. I've watched the videos of the shows. So cool!
Individual thought patterns, one of the best death album.
"Plus now the boss is gone" was a guilty laughter for me
Gene looked like he didn't wana laugh
Yeah I hear ya, but Steve knew him wayyy more than any of us, so it's a different context for him
@@88omair yea he still laughed but i saw that he was a lil hesitant at first lol
@@williamalva2826 yeah he did, I guess it caught him off guard heh as well. It certainly caught me off guard
@@88omair yea, seriously lol i laughed at first but than i thought about it but i laughed after
These guys are a seriously heavy rhythm section. And to have played together in multiple bands!
David Nissim I’ve been blessed to see the current line up of Testament with Gene Hoglan and Steve Di Giorgio three times during the Dark Roots of the Earth tour and the Brotherhood of the Snake tour and they really are the sickest rhythm section! The physical wall of sound and feel that Steve Di Giorgio emits with his bass combined with Gene Hoglan’s absolutely amazing technical and groove oriented style of playing, is something to experience live. You physically feel the music! Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick shred it as usual with their guitar playing! And of course Chuck Billy’s vocals are just as good if not better live and that’s super important because most bands fall short in that category when preforming. I just hope that this coronavirus nonsense blows over soon so I can see Testament in concert again especially considering how epic and badass their new album is! But to circle back to Testament’s rhythm section, I just can’t say enough good things about Di Giorgio And Hoglan. They truly compliment each other’s playing and they both know their roles in the composition of the songs. Together they add so much depth and skill to the band and when you see and experience them playing live, you can’t help but know that you have witnessed something special! They don’t call both of those guys The Rhythm Section Of The Apocalypse for nothing!
Arch Angel Couldn’t have said it better. Testament’s current lineup is far and away their best.
David Nissim oh yeah! The current line up of Testament is not only their best but the current line up is also one of the ultimate Metal live Experiences! I constantly tell any Metalhead that if Testament is in town you have to see them live!
All due respect for Chuck as I’m a fanatical fan of his, but these 2 made ITP
@@archangel5627 unfortunately Gene had to amicably leave Testament earlier this year due to his commitments to his other bands, but he's still working with Steve in Death To All. Plus Dave Lombardo is his replacement, so that's also good.
When I first heard that Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio were going to join TESTAMENT I was like holy moly
Atheist and Death, two bands that injected much needed creativity into death metal.
@el Guapo that's thash there sir
@@ryankiesow833 Death Metal isn't so far from Thrash. If anything the more inventive Death got the more Thrash - like they became. And Chuck loved Overkill. I know it's splitting hairs lol.
Could you recommend some Atheist?
@@RedFlyRuledByTheRiff Look up their discography and go in chronological order. They have not put out a bad album. Elements is probably their "mildest" album, but still solid. If you want individual songs then "Piece of Time, On They Slay, Unquestionable Presence, Your Life's Retribution, And the Psychic Saw, Green, Animal, Second to Sun, Live and Live Again, Fraudulent Cloth."
@@TheJollyMisanthrope Thanks! Will do! \m/
These guys are both absolute beasts...
It's overwhelming to see the current Testament lineup full of virtuosos, not too many bands have that privilege these days
Steve will always be SADUS / DEATH at first place for me!!!
Elements of Anger for me is his masterpiece alongside Individual Thought Patterns
And Gene will always be Dark Angel.
@@BlasphemousVerses and Death of course
I never knew DiGiorgio played with Sebastian Bach's band. The guy really has done it all.
He's a gift from the Metal Gods. Have you heard Soen - Cognitive? Simply fantastic.
Yea, never heard of it either & bach never boast about it either..
Both were cool guys..
With Bobby Jarzombek on drums too. Baz had a real rhythm section for that tour!
didnt he play for obscura too?
Hoglan has done it all too. Both have played with an insane amount of bands
5:08 Damn Gene looks almost exactly the same, down to the shades
Steve covered Dark Angels Merciless Death as a bonus track on Sadus' Out for Blood album. Imagine Steve joining Dark Angel, the world might melt.
Steve and Gene in dark angel and Steve and Gene is Sadus, how about that?
Timo Peterfeef that has to be one of the easiest bass lines in thrash history though.
@@jeancarlosartist havee you heard of slayer bass lines?
best metal rhythm section ever .-
Wow that was great. They are amazing musicians and great people. They have been around the block!!!!! They played with Chuck!!!
End of story.
lol. I met and took a picture with Gene just before he did this interview. This was the small stage where Phil Campbell played. Good times. I miss this cruise so much....
I did an interview with Gene and he always comes across so happy. I love this guy
Wow, this was a fantastic interview of two of my favorite musicians of all time! Thanks for the upload!
Two of the greatest musicians of all time! Its incredible they are still killing it all these years later, makes me feel really Fucking old lol
Awesome interview. These guys are so laid back.
I met and took a pic w/ Hoglan just before this interview happened. MegaCruise was legendary. Everyone was cool as hell
Man sitting at home during this fucking quarintine, I really wish this video was longer. These two guys are awesome musicians and cool ass dudes and I could listen to them talk for hours.
Two of the best metal musicians in the world.
Absolute Legends. Long May They Live 🤘🤘
These 2 guys are awesome. RIGHT on. Thank YOU for sharing this video
wow! it was interesting to hear steveDi about human and ITP
The Sebastian Bach story is pure gold LMAO
Two of my all time favorite musicians
Imagine these two as your rhythm section... jesus.
So glad to see Steve recovered from the coronavirus.
He did?
most of people do
@@unkind78 not all dude..
@@krzysztofburek9038 yea he did & just saw a video of testament concert in nepal durinv the covid.
Good to see how much weight Gene has lost! Now its your turn Dino Cazares!
Epic.
Eric Peterson looks like a skinny Dino Cazares
Let the Metal flow !!
Chuck Billy plays one hell of a mini microphone stand!
This was a great video, good to hear from the guys in testament that you don’t hear from as much
"Dude I know Mr Likely".....hahahaha!!! Love you guys!
Steve is like a crazy Viking you'd want on your boat
7:37 best comment from Gene: i love being able getting from a nap go straight to the stage
💪💪💪💪😅😅
They are such great guys
Aiaiaiai! Talking about Ralph Santolla @ 6.07 and showing Craig Locicero. Otherwise great interview with legendary dudes!
Holy crap!! Our mistake!! Thanks for pointing out... Got confused between Germany and UK 1993 tours...
Two real professionals.
I never made it to his level as a bass player…But I always respected…
Yada Yada Yada…
Anyhoo, great peeps!
They're incredible and gave Testament a well deserved push imo
Would love to hear Testament cover some of that individual thought pattern stuff. It's one of my favorite albums.
Legends.
OK DUKE TV! You just grabbed a new Subscriber. Well Done!
Freakin' love Steve Degeorgio! I don't even have to spell his last name when I type Steve on my phone, Degeorgio and Harris automatically pop up.
Tengo que ser sincero. Comencé a prestarle más atención a Testament después de que supe que estos dos iban a estar juntos tocando en la banda. Llevaron a Testament a otro nivel
Best channel ever! Keep on rocking guys!
Damn!! Steve has been drinking he took a shot at chuck when he said, " now that the boss is gone"
Two of the best in the business!! Fuckin legends!
I fucking love Testament
Me as well
Thank you for the Russian subtitles!
That's what a pro behave.. They don't stay one dimensional in music genre.. Sadly most metal elitist cant do that.
Shout out from Florida!
These two did a great job on the new Testament. Good to see them get more participation.
Two amazing musicians and two real cool dudes
The Dynamic Duo !!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤟🤟🤟
100% agree Steve!
Two favorite guys in Testament. Also like Dark Angel and Sadus. 🙏
Wooow, great musicians and nice guys..
The best drum and bass duo in death/thrash metal
Love the Dungeons and Daddies reference. That was almost as awesome as them talking about Death
2 legends right there
Legends🤘☢️🤘
Steve DiGiorno is a bass god and his frozen pizzas are delectable.
I opened up for testament in Phoenix and was moving r gear on the stage and Alex came off the bus and helped us move r gear I'm from Montana and had seen him on guitar player magazine and all that pretty neat guy tell that story often
Gene looking great!
Testament 💕 rules!!!
DiGiorgio, YOU MONSTAH!
Steve gets his massive respect due for his work in Testament, Death, Autopsy, Iced Earth, Obscura and Control Denied. But for f~~~s sake his work on SADUS is amazing. They are one of those few bands that walk the fine line between the most extreme of thrash and death metal. They are super underrated and it is Steve’s first creative endeavor and love.
I still have my tour shirts from autopsy and sadus' first tours
7:00 lol Priceless
''Now the boss is gone'' LMAO wowwwwww steve
what a fucking combo!
Steve looked like a teenager when individual thought patterns was being made. He could play bass like that way back.... Impressive
Any comment about these guys is on spot. They are great. Seen them over 50 times live and hope to see them live 50 more!! Tacoma first show and they blew the roof!!
Can't get a better rhythm section than that.
Legendarios
They seems down to Earth Guys
Bobby Jarzombek and Steve is another potential powerhouse rhythm section, unfortunately in the context of Sebastian Bach's solo project.
Bobby & Joey Vera in Fates Warning, that's a seriously talented rhythm section (and the music is more interesting than Bach's imo). New album coming hopefully this year \m/
@@88omair No doubt. Fates Warning has been a hard band to get into for me, mainly because John Arch's singing is like nails on a chalkboard. Is the new singer any different sounding? The music is fine though.
@@TheJollyMisanthrope oh duuude, Arch left the band way back in the 80s, his voice definitely is an acquired taste and I don't really listen to the Fates albums he's on. I'd suggest checking either their last album "Theories of Flight" or "Parallels" (which is their most famous probably), both are two of their best. Top notch musicianship and songwriting, without the wankery that prog metal bands typically indulge in
@@TheJollyMisanthrope as a primer, from Theories I'd suggest listening to Seven Stars and From the Rooftops.
From Parallels I'd suggest Leave the Past Behind and Eye to Eye.
Then you'll know which album's sound intrigues you more atm :).
Sorry for the lengthy message! I just think Fates is criminally underrated (and I used to be a Dream Theater fan wayyy back in the day). Fates is one of metals finest and underrated bands Imo. Cheers 🤘🏼
@@88omair Yeah when Arch hit the higher octaves I just turned the song off. I'll check out the more recent stuff!
My dream is to be able to play with these guys some day
Cheers to Testament!
Yep Steve's the best metal bassist in the world!!!!
TESTAMENT - BEST BAND EVER!!!!!
(and death)
one my fist metal albums was Testament The New Order
03:20 - 03:25 Here ladies and gentlemen we can witness the fact that Gene Hoglan is not into backstabbing.... he def, did not want to laugh with Steve when he backstabbed Chuck (you know the deceased genius) but was torn between two places.
Gene Hoglan is a loyal man. I met him, talked to him, shook his hand in Holland Amsterdam during the Mechanized tour of FF.
What do you think,.... did Gene say anything to Steve about what he did ?
I don't know if Gene said anything to Steve afterwards, but it definitely looked like Gene didn't wanna laugh. But yeah, I didn't like what Steve said either. It was a cruel joke in my opinion. But I stil think Steve is great dude, it's just in this case he didn't think before he said that, so it came out as a cruel joke. In my country we have an old saing which goes "He's tongue was faster than his brain", it sounds better in my native language.
@@filipnezak2084 Good you sort of see what i saw. I feel Steve has had this feeling about Chuck for a looooong time. He even said they (the musicians who played with Chuck) at last got recognition with the Death To All tour.
Steve can be a great guy, who knows....... but this thing is not o.k.
@@patrickvangelder1784 Yes, it's definitely not o.k. And I don't know why he said "at last we got recognition", what in the hell is that supposed to mean? Because every musician who played in Death and I mean every, has left a wonderful mark in music with their instruments and Chuck Schuldiner never, never, never said anything negative about his musicians. So I don't know what that line is supposed to mean?
You can tell that Gene was caught off guard, but that probably had more to do with him saying it with the camera being there. Anyone who knows how close these guys were know that it wasn't a big deal. When one sees how the situation was for the leading up to Chuck's final days , it's easy to tell that they didn't have the kind of weak friendships that would be affected by that. It especially puts into perspective how insignificant a comment like that would seem to them. You often heard gallows humor come from war veterans and trauma survivors for a reason and it wasn't because they didn't care about what they were talking about.
immaculate rosary
Will there be another death to all tour ? That would be awesome
The atomic clockwork and the human bass 2 living legends
DiGiorgio is the Fucking MAN!! 🤘
Эти парни скоро станут иконами. (если уже не стали).
Всем - рок !!
Dark Angel!
This video is really uplifting. Life is good and I still got good friends so fuck this depression.
Two monsters!!!\m/
Practice what you preach these guys live really kick ass early days were the best in my opinion. Rock on my friends.
Too much talent on this couple of guys!!! ... the boss is gone....yeah he's gone but ITP live on!!!!
Doesn't matter how they do it now. They are and always will be Chuck's songs forever. Death is Chuck, Death to all is Chuck and Symbolic is Chuck. Put as much twist into the songs , they will always be Chuck and Death.
In a few months, "trapped in a vessel" went from "hell yeah" to "fuck no"
and now it's time for the Megadeth experience. Break a leg!
Steve playing in a glam rock band how diverse is that!! Paycheck is a paycheck I guess
That's wasn't Ralph Santolla in the short clip @6:05 , but Craig Locicero.
Having Hoglan, DiGiorgio and Skolnick in the same band together is completely unfair on everyone else in thrash land haha
"plus, now the boss is gone" biggest OOOF
Yeah I’m not sure if that was meant to be funny but it made me really uncomfortable if he was talking about Chuck
@@nickclaxton4734 Chuck seemed to be a control freak when it came to his music. He never settled for anything less than his perfect vision, which, while it made for legendary music, probably wasn't conducive to healthy relationships. While the joke Steve made was in poor taste, I can kind of understand where he's coming from.
