"like Lawrence of Arabia" is a great analogy of the lead. Its such a great contrast to the crunchy guitars in the back. The layering (greatly noticed through headphones) is galaxies away mind blowing. Many of us old school guys (58yrs old) who grew up on the original, think this song not as an homage but damn amazing stand on its own song. Thank you!
Hands up one of the best guitar players not just in metal but in jazz and in rock. Amazing musician,he stepped out of the box and stretched the way metal is played. Total respect
I'm really digging Alex Skolnick's guitar playing & after seeing Testament live in Toronto (Feb.18.2013) I was even more of a fan as well as Eric Peterson & seeing Gene "The Atomic Clock" Hoglan was icing on the cake.Flotsam and Jetsam opened & were a great live act as well.
All the pedals, amps, effects, engineering, etc. are just icing on the cake. You can NEVER sound like this unless you have the talent, musicality and technique to support what you hear in your head and actually make it come out. Without, you could practice for 20 years and still sound like an amateur who’s been playing for a year or two.
That’s now understand how it takes to make a record ,long painfully hours for just one solo.cant imagine track the drums parts and the bass ufff months of work.
Per the Spinal Tap reference, the album cover for Animal Magnetism (which is a great title track) probably helped spur on the bored wives of politicians who were to form the PMRC. 😇
It's gotta be mind blowing to work with Alex, he's an amazing guitarist.
Amazing guitarist. Incredibly talented. All of this is so effortless for him. Very well done.
Best guitarist Ive ever heard in Thrash, thats for sure. Fantastic guitarist period.

One of my favorite songs by the Scorpions!

Best part of the year, each year is getting to say hi to this fine human at winter NAMM.
One of the best, one of the most haunting and kick ass songs from this era. Thanks

Alex, do you put that distortion box in front of the head or in the fx loop???
Killer man. You are one of the best!
Dislike = Dumb Ass ..... This song is ALWAYS of full volume. Sends shivers down my spine.

Help!
I need Tab for this song :(
I saw this. It fucked me up. That is what's about being a fan boy. What a great ride
I normally don't like these things. But I.am All ears
i enjoy things
The sound on the covers is better than the album's imo, especially the guitars.
Skill
Testament really should of done this alot more like the scorpions and maiden. Skolnick juist kills the harmonies in this video, fuckin awesome
Sounds a bit like Andy laroques sound in Abigail.
Without a Fender or bitch in sight. This is wailing
That’s now understand how it takes to make a record ,long painfully hours for just one solo.cant imagine track the drums parts and the bass ufff months of work.
Alex is the perfect example of a guitarist with class means
HOLY CHI CHI'S!!!
This kills. Allyou need is a c singer

Skolnick mejor que Kirk Hammett y por masacre
Kirk le come los cojones a Skolnick XD
TheTHRASHMOSH THRASHBULLA buena pendejo amanerado, nada que ver la vompsracion...
Kirk sem wah wah não faz nada... É horrível como uma banda como o metallica tenha um guitarrista e um baterista tão ruins
:)
I gotta be careful. This is life shaping shit for me
Just endorse EVH like Eric does.
Alex has nice socks
Get some one whi can sing
