The best album that suicidal tendencies did was the art of rebellion and the rhythm section was Robert Trujillo and Josh freese you can't get any better than that. And then with infectious grooves you had Robert Trujillo and Josh Paul both amazing With the incomparable Brooks wackermen and Josh freese. I like The 1st infectious grooves album ( With Stephen perkins) and groove family psycho was a great 1, but mas barracho was it! But in the latter years Ra Diaz is certainly a mind blowing experience especially with Dave Lombardo( king doublebass)
Charlie's got one of the deepest pockets in thrash...no matter how fast he's playing, there's always a pocket with groove. I love Dave Lombardo (as does everyone), but Charlie is right there with him in terms of the Big Four drummers...plus he's tighter, more consistent tempo-wise, and his hands are just as good. Great video. Diaz, Skolnick, and Benante killed it.
@@dorian2112 Nice! I was only a young kid in the '80s...I wish I'd been a bit older to have really experienced the heyday of metal back then. I've pretty much gotten to see all those classic bands since, but not in their primes.
Charlie's defo up there with the top metal drummers but people also forget he's a great guitarist, think he played lead guitar on a lot of Anthrax's albums as well as the SOD albums
He may be one of the best of all time, but calling him "underrated" is a straight up lie, he is highly respected by many, many fans. That is a slap in the face to many drummers who are actually underrated.
I know, right? I never really listened to him that closely but rediscovered S.O.D and had forgotten how ridiculously amazing he was on 'Speak English or Die!'
The good news is that you often find this in comments for metal music. People come to listen because they love it and them the like to talk about how they love it!
These are seriously the best collabs I’ve seen in this lockdown period. I’ve been an Anthrax fan since Spreading the Disease and you don;t look any bloody older Charlie. Or slower come to that. 😂
What do you mean Skolnick is underrated? He is arguably only internationally known for not only his playing capabilities in Testament. But, he's a jazz, jazz fusion, blues, etc guitarist who works for a number of companies all over the world. There isnt a guitarist or musician alive who hasn't heard or knows who Alex Skolnick is.
Alex looks bored here...he is on the level of guitarists like Gary Moore and Yngwie. Lifeson is a great guitarist..he became second fiddle in the 80s and got put on sequencer/keyboard duties and barely did any soloing. His guitar playing ability is probably better than what we hear in Rush but the music never really showcased it
@@netrioter I'm sorry for you but Alex may be bored or not bored, if his technique is weak, nothing will change it, only improving by hard working. Once you learn a thing properly, even being almost dead you won't make mistakes that newbies who have no technique make. Watch Paul Gilbert's cover of this song to see the difference between having a technique and not having it.
Phenomenal cover ! It's pretty ballsy to do ANY Rush cover based on the skill level required to do it and the passion Rush fans have for perfection.. WELL DONE !! From a Rush fan AND metal fan :)
Wow what a surprise, one of my favorite thrash metal drumer Mr Charli Benante playing together with the lead guitar of one of my favorite metal bands Testament, Mr Alex Skolnick, (by the way Alex, your 28th feb Testament concert in Madrid was f…ing great and the last concert I had before all this shi…started) and playing one of the best ever rock bands, Rush!!! you guys made my day and I really love to see when different musicians get together and enjoy music just for the fun, thanks for sharing this!!! Miguel from Spain.
That was excellent! Old Rush fan like me gets a real kick out of watching some great and familiar musicians doing a cover and doing it so well. I've been listening to quite a bit of Anthrax, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies in my time. I know some of your history and I'm sure Rush has been an important band for us all. Love the Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage teaser at the end!
Thanks guys! Really been enjoying all of these videos. A real bright spot in a pretty dark time. Thank you Charlie and Alex and Ra and Scott and Dan and everyone involved.
Dude, this is awesome. I've been so sad since Neil Peart passed away. I always wanted to see Rush, and just never got around to it. I grew up with these guys. I'm 48 and still have Moving Pictures on the original vinyl album I got as a kid. Still to this day one of the best albums I've ever heard, period.
I’ve never forgotten how great a guitar player Alex Skelnik is but goddamnit! You are the shit and diaz on the bass,you’re the best. Charley Bonati I remember meeting you at dinner in Carol Stream Illinois for Thanksgiving dinner. You guys are fucking awesome! Kirk Behrendt says hey!
Charlie! Love this series man, maybe some other cool songs.... fast as a shark, love gun, maybe some s.o.d. ? Rush rules, thanx for all of you... also.. faith no more would be nice
Wow👏👏👏👏👏👏🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 looks like Charlie lost some weight and still my fav drummer since 1983 we love Anthrax in Québec City can wait to see you in town👏👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🥁🥁🥁

January 28th 2024... I still can't get enough of this shit !!!!! Thanks again fellas. 🥰🥰😁😁😁
Same, still watching it:P
Bass player is KILLING IT
And Skolnick..
And Charlie "dont cheat" B!
Holy crap. So awesome. Makes me tear up
That bass player is sick!!!
Fucking spot on! Everyone’s performance was top notch!!!! More!!!
As a 49yr old Rush fan who still has my boyhood CASSETTE of Moving Pictures ... this brought me such joy. THANK YOU BOYS
Im sure Neil is jamming along there on the flip side. 👍
47 here, Rush fan since 1986, Presto was my first concert as well. Got a small electric kit which I may have to bring back out. Thanks guys!
48
How is it Suicidal always grabs the best bassists🤘
Ra is probably the best bassist they’ve had after Louiche Mayorga
great bassists
it's the infectious groove CYCO MYCO has with bassists!!!!
The best album that suicidal tendencies did was the art of rebellion and the rhythm section was Robert Trujillo and Josh freese you can't get any better than that.
And then with infectious grooves you had Robert Trujillo and Josh Paul both amazing With the incomparable Brooks wackermen and Josh freese. I like The 1st infectious grooves album ( With Stephen perkins) and groove family psycho was a great 1, but mas barracho was it!

@@MatChew75 89
this song is so fucking amazing! thrash metal monsters playing rush is perfect
Charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for saving my ears from boredom!
They’ve got that Rush chemistry down perfectly. They should start their own power trio once quarantine is over.
Charlie you are the best !
Hell yeah guys!
Damn Charlie is a beast!
Charlie's got one of the deepest pockets in thrash...no matter how fast he's playing, there's always a pocket with groove. I love Dave Lombardo (as does everyone), but Charlie is right there with him in terms of the Big Four drummers...plus he's tighter, more consistent tempo-wise, and his hands are just as good.
Great video. Diaz, Skolnick, and Benante killed it.
love Dave, but prefer Charlie, i like his precision and attack. saw him back in 89/90? sunken gardens in SA Tx he killed!! POT tour i believe.
@@dorian2112

I'm not sure that Charlie is the Greatest Metal Drummer of All Time, but I can't think of 5 that are better.
Charlie's defo up there with the top metal drummers but people also forget he's a great guitarist, think he played lead guitar on a lot of Anthrax's albums as well as the SOD albums
For pure metal, especially thrash, I go with Dave Lombardo. But overall skill? Definitely Charlie.
THE most underrated drummer in all of Metal history, period! God bless the man.
He may be one of the best of all time, but calling him "underrated" is a straight up lie, he is highly respected by many, many fans. That is a slap in the face to many drummers who are actually underrated.
Kickass. Charlie Benante is among the top drummers, ever.
I know, right? I never really listened to him that closely but rediscovered S.O.D and had forgotten how ridiculously amazing he was on 'Speak English or Die!'
Crushed it...super bad ass!!
this is the first time i read an entire comment thread and " EVERYONE" agrees with one another .....WOW !!!
Awesome job guys .

Yeah...Charlie looks like he's 27, not 57. And the way he creates Neil's sound with a kit that's one-third the size...BRILLIANT!
Alex Skolnick is by far one of my favorite guitarist.
Words can't describe how well yall played this....epic is an understatement.
Great cover CB! Fun one to play too. Rest in peace Neil, thank you for all the music, we miss you.
What we dream of sounding like, when we play along to RUSH. Pure magic🙏🏾🤘🏾✊🏾
Skolnick is a seriously underrated guitarist. Anthrax/Testament/Suicidal Tendencies is an awesome combination.
nice joke

really love to see when different musicians get together and enjoy music just for the fun, thanks for sharing this!!! Miguel from Spain.
Spent most of the last few weeks watching Charlie with Alex & Ra and watching Charlie with S.O.D. and have to say im enjoying the music
Alex is a mysterious maestro...this fellow does a great interpretation...

HEY CHARLIE... I think Neil would approve. Greetings from Rush's home in Toronto.
Damn..... You guys just made my day... We need this kind of vitamin during staying at home.... Stay safe and be strong...
Well Done!!! Thanks for an emergency dose of Rush!
What can i say...
To see some of my favorite guys cover a song from some other of my favorite guys.
Perfect!
Looking leaner and meaner than usual Charlie.. Respect to all.. that was great
Wow! La raja, Benante rules, Alex is a master and Ra Diaz chileno pride!!
Charlie, these have become the highlight Easter eggs of my days here in the quarantine. Keep on doing what ya do!

A fitting Tribute to Kings! The Cygnus X1 ending gave me chills!!!
Hoooo shit!!!! the Cygnus finish was Ssssiiiikkkk!!!!
That ending!!!! what an unexpected gift to this grizzled Rush fan. CYGNUS X-1!!!!! Thank you guys, brilliant.
Absolutely freakin' AMAZING! One million upvotes. Give them all of the upvotes!! Thanks for keeping us entertained, sirs!
My fav Band Rush, great Cover. Thaks again Charlie, Alex and Ra.... RIP Neil
Circus Magazine, now there's a flashaback.
I was thinking the same thing, is that magazine even around anymore?
@@crushingalldeceivers No it stopped printing in 2006.
That and Hit Parader were my bibles back then.
DUDE. No shit. I remember getting that mag and cutting out all the Van Halen pics and gluing them to posterboard for big collages in my room.....Metal
Exactly what I said to myself as well.👍
Fantastic job, Guys!! Huge respect! Stay safe and well. RIP Neil... \m/
Muchas gracias!. Thanks for sharing this. In times of isolation music is a great relief. Saludos y ver la bandera de Chile es un orgullo
Proper quality Gentlemen thanks for posting.
Thanks guys! Really been enjoying all of these videos. A real bright spot in a pretty dark time. Thank you Charlie and Alex and Ra and Scott and Dan and everyone involved.
These vids are a very special treat Mr Benante. PS- Please do more jams with the impossibly badass Alex Skolnick!
I love these guys and I know them from their original bands...YOU GUYS NAILED IT AND THE PROFESSOR HAS GOT TO BE REALLY HAPPY@!!@!!!
Wow! Merci, merci, merci!!!!! I feel good now tks to all of you!
Charlie's chops are on spot!
I just don't understand the mean spirited feelings of the people who leave a thumbs down. I'm just grateful you filmed this great contribution.
I fucking need MORE of this!!!! Awesomeness

Awesome rendition! More Rush covers by metal artists please, I hope to one day hear bastille day sung by Bobby Blitz.
Neil would be happy to hear this- great job🙏
The solo Alex. The solo. NICE.

Totally appreciate you guys!!! 🤘👏
Dude, this is awesome. I've been so sad since Neil Peart passed away. I always wanted to see Rush, and just never got around to it. I grew up with these guys.

This was freakin' excellent! Can we have some more please??
Alex playing Alex’s solos as if by reflex.
That was fucking awesome
Love this, especially with adding a little Cygnus X-1 at the end.
I’m here to offer Ra Diaz some love
I love the tone of Skolnick! Such brilliance.
The amount of talent in those rooms is at such a high level. Man!
Well done gentleman! Pleasure listening to your collaboration, and great choice of tunes!!

Thank you guys so much for the great content. You have no idea....
Outstanding work. Bass player a monster
I’ve never forgotten how great a guitar player Alex Skelnik is but goddamnit! You are the shit and diaz on the bass,you’re the best. Charley Bonati I remember meeting you at dinner in Carol Stream Illinois for Thanksgiving dinner. You guys are fucking awesome! Kirk Behrendt says hey!
I'm pretty sure at this point charlie could post a video of himself eating cereal and I'd be hype as fuck to watch it.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME !
I like the addition of Cygnux X-1 (Book One) at the end. Nice job, guys! I, too, am a huge Rush fan and a protege of the great Neil Peart.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that.
Charlie! Love this series man, maybe some other cool songs.... fast as a shark, love gun, maybe some s.o.d. ? Rush rules, thanx for all of you... also.. faith no more would be nice
I love how Alex is even in the pocket with his "finger conducting.'
What a great job! I've been missing RUSH more than usual & this helped smack me into a better mood. Thanks, guys.
Fantastic. Just beautiful.
Damn I didn't even see this one until now (october) lol. Rock on!
Best bedroom player I've ever seen
