i will never understand how a band of such amazing talent and ofc great song writing ability did not surpass metallica :S this song clearly shows that there not just all speed, and ofc alex is better than most thrash/metal guitarists out there in my opinion. (and prob many other peoples) \m/
Domicidal Covers they just weren’t first I suppose? Been wondering that forever. Testament clearly has as good a songwriting chops as anybody throughout their whole history. And skolnick is the greatest guitarist both lead and rhythm thrash metal or metal in general has ever produced. His talent is on par with petrucci and Vai. And he was basically before them if u wanna talk band fame. Truly incredible player and soloist. His leads always been fire. Extremely memorable and technical.
Back in 91 when I got married, at the reception I played this song ( chuck was there!) we all grew up in Dublin, me and him were fucked up slow dancing and singing this fucking song and I thought my grandfather was going to die! He was like what the fuck is this?? what happened to nice music that was playing! I love this song.
absolutely fucking agree! Testament have a magical side that makes them RISE above any other Thrash band! Musical Death, The Ballad, The Legacy, Trail Of Tears, Hypnosis, Return To Serenity, beautiful songs!!!
this is a so fuckin great I got goosebumps from this shit!! they don't make songs or band like this no more long live Chuck Fuckin Billy and A Skolnick and the rest of these fuckin thrash kings
i saw testament slayer and megadeth live last summer they went through the whole formation of damnation album man di i ever wish they went through the whole the legacy album or pratice what you preach amazing video!
Skol rockin' the Sabre. Jeez I remember staring at one at Guitar Center back then. They had it super high on the wall so the young bucks couldn't just grab it easily and bang on it.
@hibodon it was the worst thing that i can remember from my child hood, watching my life long heros die like that.but not all is lost we still have megadeth, testament, slayer and anthrax
load/reload rules ! some of the best songs written there ! also justice...wow, if a band made an album like justice for all and then go on and made shit, they would still be legends...not to say metallica made 4-6 legendary albums, each in its own way that being said, i love testament
Great song! Outstanding execution. Every genre of music has ballads... even thrash. Like it or not. This song is great. It does not have the candy-ass lyrics like other ballads do. I see the guitarwork in this song as controlled aggression. Very powerful. I read all the messages in this thread. Man, what a total bitch session! This is TESTAMENT song! Why even bring up the senseless topic about Metallica- Past vs Present? Whether or not Fade To Black is a ballad? It's NOT! Blah Blah Blah!
3:27 Chuck Billy Fucking Rules... I mean the passion his voice can get at the ballad and the evilness at nighmare is fantastic!!!! and 3:27 of course RULES!!
@MetalStratcovers the black album,or the metallica album was theyre last good album they made. it doesnt scratch any of theyre previous albums, and just about everything after that was heartless crap. metallica hung up theyre axes long ago. but theyre still under contract so they dont have much choice but to crank out shit that only die hard metallica fans barely like
Because everything they did metallica had already done. I like testament too, but the doors the walked through had already been knocked down by the mighty met
Makes me laugh how people say that Return to Serenity, The Ballad etc are great songs, yet those same people rediculed Metallica for doing Fade to Black, which was the standard for Testament to follow.
By the way. James and Lars made Metallica in the first place. Ever listen to And Justice for all? I never cared much for Mustaine. We all know Cliff was the badass and we miss him. I do think it's stupid to post non topical things on videos though. But chill on Metallica.
musically speaking and to my judgement, there is not point in comparing Metallica and Testament, Cliff Burton was the only musical asset of the first, while the whole lineup of Testament was worthy. Skolnick is whole above Hammett. Christian defeats Newsted but not Burton. Peterson and Chuck beat Hetfield. Louie was even with Lars. However, Dave Lombardo beats both. for me Slayer has one musical weakness: Tom Araya. He is great frontman but his bass is mediocre compared to Burton or Chistian.
Maybe people need to change their attitude to the term "soldout". Metallica changed direction for reason, sometimes with good results. everyone looks at it has if they have commited a crime. The only crime is that other bands don't wake up and push the boundries of metal music forward and capture new fans.
the question with metallica isnt if it is old or new stuff(I to love metallica) that´s not the point. The point is that metallica was a very good band,theyr musicians were very humble guys,(drunkers inclued) and they haved time to be with theyr fãn, now its fucking ridicule...paranoiks,megamaniacs and delusional dudes. Testament,was,is,will be allways time for theyr fãns and look at skolnick,is got a degree in music Universaty and is still a very down earth guy,.,just it
Why cant Metallica, Testament, Megadeth, etc. fans all live in peace? all are fucking AMAZING and wayy better. Keep the hate on rap and other shitty music
the big four are ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, SLAYER AND MEGADETH.... never metallica... althouth there are better groups from the bay arena like heathen or death angel
great song, yet rarely played live.. should be fixed at in their live playlists

load/reload rules ! some of the best songs written there !
also justice...wow, if a band made an album like justice for all and then go on and made shit, they would still be legends...not to say metallica made 4-6 legendary albums, each in its own way
that being said, i love testament
Testament needs to be in the big four, not Anthrax.
Charbok12 Facts.
@dotd113 Exactly, one of my favs from them :)
Best band ever? I think so
Because most of their fans these days wouldn't be able to appreciate it.
chuck billy
deserves his own action figure
чък винаги е можел да пее страхотен е
Alex Skolnick tearin' that shit up.
Great song! Outstanding execution.
Every genre of music has ballads... even thrash. Like it or not.
This song is great. It does not have the candy-ass lyrics like other ballads do.
I see the guitarwork in this song as controlled aggression. Very powerful.
I read all the messages in this thread. Man, what a total bitch session! This is TESTAMENT song! Why even bring up the senseless topic about Metallica- Past vs Present? Whether or not Fade To Black is a ballad? It's NOT! Blah Blah Blah!
Skolnick.. is a master... is fu... amazinggg yeahhhh
From around Chicago?? I'am i want to see them this summer
f*ck yeah
probably these guys are the best thrash metal band with Kreator nowadays
your dream came true man they are touring this year together!!
3:27 Chuck Billy Fucking Rules... I mean the passion his voice can get at the ballad and the evilness at nighmare is fantastic!!!! and 3:27 of course RULES!!
@itamhoe You're completely right, but I have to say something - although their talent or its lack I worship music all of them (at least before 91).
7:47 wtf even was that!?
@Charbok12 Agreed!!
@MetalStratcovers the black album,or the metallica album was theyre last good album they made. it doesnt scratch any of theyre previous albums, and just about everything after that was heartless crap. metallica hung up theyre axes long ago. but theyre still under contract so they dont have much choice but to crank out shit that only die hard metallica fans barely like
249!!!
Because everything they did metallica had already done. I like testament too, but the doors the walked through had already been knocked down by the mighty met

@fuckinthrasher666
Fuck yeah
Is it the lighting or do they all have pink guitars
By the way. James and Lars made Metallica in the first place. Ever listen to And Justice for all? I never cared much for Mustaine. We all know Cliff was the badass and we miss him. I do think it's stupid to post non topical things on videos though. But chill on Metallica.
chops.
one person likes R@B ballads

@HerrGeneralVonBraun
Alex Skolnick disagrees with you.
@dotd113 Pretty solid? Its a masterpiece!
@HerrGeneralVonBraun You're entitled to your opinion. I, for one, do not agree.
the question with metallica isnt if it is old or new stuff(I to love metallica) that´s not the point.
The point is that metallica was a very good band,theyr musicians were very humble guys,(drunkers inclued) and they haved time to be with theyr fãn, now its fucking ridicule...paranoiks,megamaniacs and delusional dudes.
Testament,was,is,will be allways time for theyr fãns and look at skolnick,is got a degree in music Universaty and is still a very down earth guy,.,just it
@HerrGeneralVonBraun i disagree
@dotd113 well, maybe because it´s too soft?
Why cant Metallica, Testament, Megadeth, etc. fans all live in peace? all are fucking AMAZING and wayy better. Keep the hate on rap and other shitty music
Школьник Жгёт!!!!
the big four are ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, SLAYER AND MEGADETH.... never metallica... althouth there are better groups from the bay arena like heathen or death angel
