Testament is literal THRASH defined with SKILL! So underrated.
Hi Kevin
Give them better production on their first 4 albums and they replace slayer in the big 4 in my opinion
@@mattcumiskey7653 they replace anthrax with no changes, anthrax is incredibly over rated and testament and slayer are badass
@@keighanmarshall9200 Very true. Anthrax is so boring, but I guess they were OG on the scene before Testament hence the Big 4.
@@mattcumiskey7653 Nope! That old raw production is what made the genre so great!
Testament are criminally underrated
Their new album is unbelievable amazing.
By who? Lol
@@OscarVargas it's like whisky, gets better with time
They are still around and doing perhaps better than in their prime...so very much appreciated not underrated
It’s true. Every Gen xer who was metal and not grunge I talk to when talking about the big 4 but who is in that conversation always without exception forgets Testament. People ALWAYS say.. Suicidal, Sepultura, uhh… and I hit em with TESTAMENT, they always go.. oh yeah?!! Like, shit, man?
Eric Peterson is one of the most underrated power down-pickers. His right hand is a blur when he gets on it. His solo's with James Murphy on Low were amazing, too.
LegionDe75 fuck yeah bro
Total agreement. The guy is a beast!
I agree. I always felt Alex Skolnick was Testament's true guitar hero. But when I saw them live, I bowed down to the mighty Eric Peterson.
Nathan Dufresne fuck man keeko
Indeed. Murphy was a monster on Low. Monster tone too.
"Practice what you preach" is definitely one of the best metal albums. such an underrated band!!
the sound quality is kinda off
Alex such a humble person. One day he came to my restaurant with testament, great people all of them super nice and friendly. I remember talking to Alex, he introduced him self to me, had a great convo. mad respect for them for sure
"My dad's guitar, the strings were like that far from (the fretboard)"
Anyone who learned to play guitar in the 80s or 90s on an acoustic guitar knows this pain.
And Gorilla Amps.
I spent several years trying to play thrash on a cheap classical guitar. Made almost no progress but when I got a decent electric with good action I was shocked how good I was. Busting my ass on that hard ass guitar prepped me for an easier to play guitar.
@@ivorlongshotcrate
Cheap acoustic with terrible action is the only way to learn
I said to myself, "I hope they talk about the "Burnt Offerings" riff."
AND THEN THEY TALKED ABOUT THE "BURNT OFFERINGS" RIFF!
Princess Olmeca I have a soft offering for you
I felt the same about The Haunting
Favorite album for me. Absolute killer
Yeah I thought the same thing. This song is killer live
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING DAWG
One of their best riffs for sure
The New Order album reshaped my musical identity at the time and shortly after I had begun playing guitar. I don’t listen to Testament as much these days but omg just listening to these two riffing on some of the old tunes makes me wanna take a deep dive again. Much love.
"The Monkees", I gasped lmao
Jorge Salinas no shit, guy doesn’t even know daytripper
@@GamezOfWar that didnt sound like a great ass version I could barely tell
Squiggy... sei un asino!!! The Monkees???
Gesus that was embarrassing
Too be fair, people often confuse those old British bands for one another.
Holy crap I remember listening to practice what you preach on my Walkman in the summer of 89 or 90 .... f$& k I’m old 👴🏻
That riff of “Burnt Offerings” rules. Definitely one of the best metal riffs EVER.
When they harmonizing it feels like the end is near lol
This.
War Zone It’s crystal CLEAR!
You're right about that, especially with the flanger sound they have going on, let alone the Godly harmonizing they were doing!
It's called major 3rd, but in the present situation you are probably right LOL
Beginning of the End: The time is coming.
Electric Crown is one of my ALL TIME favorite Testament songs, it's what got me into them in the first place.
Bless you. "Electric Crown" is so underrated, even amongst fans, it seems.
I love Electric Crown \m/
MissyP80 don't talk, just open your mouth..
The Gathering is even more underrated.
talleyz whenever I’ve been on Spotify that has been the most played track
I wished they took off that flanger preset haha
Sounds like just Alex and yeah I agree. Why is he using that during rythym playing? 😆
I think that's a phaser haha
Two of the most underrated guitarists in Metal
Peterson is a full on Riff Lord & Skolnick is just in another universe
Cool video
Thanks!
Testament r great, how could u not love this band?
Eric is so Underrated...
Well, he is in the front row. Underrated cook or mechanic? As who?
Eric seems to almost be the forgotten member of Testament, the sole original member who has been on every album (since Skolnick left for almost 10 years before coming back)
@@FirebirdCamaro1220 And the one who writes 99% of the music.
@@RobKingRC almost all the songs on The Legacy were written by Zetro, fun fact
@@FirebirdCamaro1220 No shit.. Eric usually does write most of the riffs.
Watched the band a few weeks ago. They’re amazingly synchronized doing all the harmonies on stage.
An amazing and extremely underrated guitar duo!!! Alex Skolnick is a PHENOMENAL lead guitar player, and Eric Peterson is a PHENOMENAL riff MASTER!!! They sound so amazing together every time they harmonize together. They were already incredible together since their debut album The Legacy came out.
I rarely go out my way to meet "celeb" types, but I'd go WAY out of my way to meet these two guys. They represent everything I love about metal, and are inspirational from a guitar POV. Alex for his lead playing and sheer skill, Eric for his insane riffage and skill. I may take heat for saying it, but I have always felt that Peterson is the best riff writer in metal, hands down.
Eric was a huge influence on me when I was first learning to play in the late 80s early 90s. He is a library of riffs all on his own. You will get no shit from me for your opinion. Both Alex and Eric are big influences but I loved Eric's thrashing more than Alex's shredding.
Everyone talks about the first albums, but he reinvented himself on The Gathering. There he went from Riff Monster to Riff God.
No heat from me at all. Eric Peterson is a phenomenal riff MASTER!!!! It is amazing how many amazing riffs that he come out with and continues to do so.
Burnt Offerings, Apocalyptic City, Trial by Fire and The Preacher should come back into their setlists!
And I wouldn't mind The Fall of Sipledome either!
Preacher was played at the show I went to last month, not sure if it's the same for all the other dates.
Fuck yeah!!!! I've never heard them play Apocalyptic City live. I would love to hear that one. Trial By Fire is just about the perfect song for the pit.
The Fall Of Sipledome is perhaps their most brutal song. Would absolutely love to hear it live.
Dude, the preacher is my Fav testament song ever
Wasted is such an underrated Def Leppard song.
Neigh Slayer I love their old stuff like Switch 625
Wasted rocks
I've always wanted to do a heavier cover of that.
True musicians. They really love their craft , they don’t do it for money or fame .
Nah they do it for prime pussy.
Being 70s kids I knew they'd mention KISS and people are always shocked at how big of an influence they truly where back then. The riff for Parasite at the time must of been mind blowing.
Dude, I don't know how many podcasts I've listened to and bands have mentioned Kiss. They really influence a ton of great musicians!
i was always intrigued by Testament's ballads, some of the most beautiful guitar playing Ive ever heard . I killed that live at the filmore cd.
one of my favourite live albums, along with Iced Earth's Alive in Athens
@@sproaty I liked the live production of Return To The Apocalyptic City album more. It had a much heavier tone, vs Live At The Fillmore (which was fucking awesome!) ...and to top it, Chuck's vocals were much more powerful, despite it being an EP.
Insane how good this is
The Haunting to this day totally holds its own. True Legends!
they have the most wicked harmony. Alex n Eric are metal legends
Giving some advert for BangerTV, loved him on Shredders of Metal
So awesome to hear and watch them play like this. Loved it!
Guys complement each other so well. Probably the most underrated guitar duo in metal.
These guys have the most amazing collaboration riffs. I love the sounds they come up with.
Alex Skolnick and Marty Friedman are the undisputed king of metal soloing bar none imo
@Joesph Nickell absolutely!
I couldn't agree more about Marty! I'm also highly influenced by Jeff Loomis, who's style I feel was genetically engineered from Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, and a few drops of Dimebag sprinkled in!
Yea whatever dipshit. I know its not cool to say Kirk Hammett even tho hes the best
Joshua Barrett arguably the worst mainstream metal guitarist. You must not play. And that’s coming from a die hard Metallica fan
You are right!!!!
That riff to the Haunting have always been my favorite riff by them. \m/
And the song is pure 80s thrash, Gotta love that shit! \m/,
Peterson & skolnick, two of my favorites guitar players.
so much fun with these greats!!! I love this stuff!! BRAVO LOUDWIRE!
Thank you so much for this; great to hear them jam like this!
Awesome! Have always loved their harmonized riffs. Alex is a criminally underrated guitar hero, and Eric is fantastic as well!
Really great ro see Eric and Alex chatting and playing together. They're so different and it's good to know they get along and jam.
TWO METAL FUCKING LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they would do more covers. Powerslave is incredible...
Two guys who just love to play. awesome to watch.
Love w they harmonize !! Thats thEE TESTAMENT SOUND RIGHT THERE.!
Great interview, keep up the good videos with great bands. Skolnick and Peterson are two of my favorite metalhead guitarists
The Haunting riff is definitely their best ever!!!!
Cool how they aren't fighting for credits, they're struggling to even take credit for some things
that's called peace
They both have different styles, yet somehow manage to make the dual-guitar solos work
Oh how i wish i could find a guitarist to jam with. Its really awesome when u can find someone else who u can actually play in key, harmonize, change key etc.
I could seriously sit there and ask them questions all day about their riffs, their early days, touring, everything. It was surreal to meet these guys in person at Comic-Con San Diego!
Killer FACE TO FACE riffs ... PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH \,,/ Awesome vid!
Absolute legends, thanks for sharing
Saw Testament with Anthrax and Sworn Enemy at the House of Blues in New Orleans back in June, got Gene's stick autographed too. Pretty badass for my first concert ever🤘🤘
I saw Testament for the first time in 1993, opening for Iron Maiden, great show!!
Last time I saw them was last year as the first of five bands on slayers farewell tour. It was an outdoor facility and with the bright sunlight, I could barely see them on stage, but they sounded great.
0:42 "The Beatles...DON'T MAKE KILL YOU OH ERIC BOY!" His face it's priceless.
"The Monkees" is perhaps the most metal comment I've ever heard. Eric Peterson is probably the most underrated guitarist ever and aside from maybe Danny Lilker, the most metal guy on the planet.
those guitar tones. especially Eric's.. damn
He has great tone IMO ,always has.
This episode was awesome!!!
The Legacy - wonderful album.
I thoroughly enjoyed this 🤘
Alex rocking the BANGER TV t-shirt! Awesome! Great video as well.
Beatles was digged, loved and adored by both women and men, alike. Very good stuff to get into, if you are a starting guitarist.
My first Testament favorite song …"THE PREACERRRR!!!!"
LISTEN TO THESE
WORDS I PREACH!
Love these guys since I can remember.
...and this right here, folks, is why Testament has been my favorite thrash band since 1991!
The Name’s Skolnick... Alex Skolnick
i see what you did there, 007.
Licence to shred.
Eric is like Dino Cazares' slim brother
Yes. That's entirely true.
LMAO! You never know, he is half mexican! Lol
I always thought he was half asian
@@gaicek4862 Half Mexican and half Swedish.
Its kevin spacey with a wig.
Alex is one of my favorite guitarist in the world!
Over the wall, Alone in the dark (my favorite in album), practice what you preach, low and shades of war, eerie inhabitants, souls of black and face in the sky, the ritual and so many lies! These are my all times favorites.
Alex looks like Adam Jones from TOOL, with the hair and the Les Paul
That was so cool I could have watched about another 3 hours of these two guys playing together
Great band and GREAT guys!!! Love Testament!!!
I was the "photographer" for an interview with Testament AFTER the show (because we were late) back in... 1990?. Myself and 2 others were on their tour bus this was roughly 1990?... THEY WERE KINDA PISSED!!! because it was AFTER the show and NOT BEFORE like it was supposed to be. Alex was SOOOO COOL!! As was Erik. Chuck...NOT SO MUCH!!! Louie was cool too... EVERYONE but CHUCK was kinda like "ehhh whatever, PUBLICITY!!" (miniscule as it might have been)....STILL!!! one of MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RIFF MASTERS!!! ALEX and his INCREDIBLE SWEEPS!! ANYONE that listens to "The New Order" can hear those sweeps beginning to the end of the album.... so ETHEREAL! Alex and Erik are SO DAMN IN SYNC!!! Makes KK and Glenn look like.... well... ACTORS bobbing heads in the same direction at the same time, while Alex and Erik PLAY!!! Not to take anything away from KK and Glenn, BUT, NO COMPARISON!!!
Man these guys were it for me for so long, and this shows why. That is some locked in playing right there.
All time favorite band.Have met them few times.Great guys.
One of my all time favorite guitar duos.
I got the chills!!! The becomings of a legend!!
Saw them in Burgettstown PA. What a performance!
Great Interview !
You know, I have only just started learning guitar (electric & acoustic at the same time). This was so good to watch and learn from. I can't move my fingers that quick, but hey, baby steps, I'll getr there ;)
These dudes are so down to earth.
You guys are starting to be come my favorite guitar duo.
Eric's rhythms are amazing.
Cool to hear from legends & how they got started!!
i love those guys, a brutal inspiration!!!
I remember hearing "The New Order" cassette for the first time and being blown away...I put it on after watching this video...still blown away!!
Saw Testament's Practice What You Preach show at a small club with no more than a few hundred people in Tucson, Az back in the day; same venue I later saw Jimmy Cliff. Was an amazing show to say the least.
This is excelent stuff... both excelent!
Stuff like this just make me smile.
Eric’s tone is killer
Totally awesome!!!!
Beautiful!!!!!
Dang. I saw them live on the Practice What You Preach tour. Walked in before the show started and saw some long-haired guy sitting on a speaker off to the side.. not on stage. Nobody really around him and I asked my friend is that...? Let's go see. Walked up and said are you ...? Yep. It was Eric just casually siting there, legs dangling and observing the crowd. He was super nice and down to earth.. signed our tickets. Very cool and it was a great show.
My favorite riff and Testament song is 3 Days In Darkness off of their hands down best album... The Gathering.
That was some Badassht!
Friggin love Testament!!
This is cool to them jamming and feeding on each other. Imo one the best two six string slinging combo.
It's so good to see them back together
These guys most be fun just to hang out with and hear stories man would love just to be in the same room with them. I always loved souls of black and the legacy guitar work
My two all time favorite players....... wish it was longer
Thank you for inviting and interviewing Eric and Alex together. My way into metal music has begun with this band, which I prefer more than Metallica. And I'm very glad they mentioned "The Haunting" which is my favourite song. It's inspired me so much I have started playing guitar.
My favorite guitar duo they really complement each other
My gosh they are so cool. Those tones too! Like, dang
5:51. OMMFG. I think I just had an ear-gasm!!! 😝🎸✊👂
