Definitely. I heard this for the first time back in '94 on Headbangers Ball. I didn't buy the album till '97. The Ritual for me is Testament's best album. Modern classic.
@@mroc7113I have disputes with the usual Metallica fan boys regarding that, I take nothing away from Hetfield but Peterson has come up with some of the most killer riffs in all of metal. And live they're as good as anyone out there.
Cara, já vi o Eric tocando a uns 3 metros de distância... ou seja, bem na frente dos meus olhos e garanto, ele é incrível, tão bom quanto o Alex, talvez a diferença seja de apenas 5% de sofisticação pro Alex na hora de solar
Es indecente lo infravalorada que siempre ha estado esta banda. En mi opinión, a día de hoy son la mejor banda de thrash metal, tanto por los discos que sacan, como por sus directos.
Probably Testament's most radio friendly/"approachable" original song. Laid back drums at a slower tempo, a vocal melody that's easy to sing along to, a driving riff and a very traditional pentatonic/diatonic solo.
Seeing guys at this age still rock a song that technical at that speed, and NAIL it, even adding improvs that weren’t in the record… and they still look like they’re having the time of their life doing it. Truly inspiring stuff.
A great player can make just about any guitar sound amazing. It's also worth keeping in mind that they have guitar techs who are going to bring any guitar they're given up to phenomenal specs. Additionally, since he's a sponsored artist there's no way to know whether that's an actual LTD that was made in Korea or Indonesia or if it's just a custom shop ESP badged as an LTD for sponsorship purposes. Additionally, the differences between an LTD and an ESP are less likely to come across in a live setting, especially an open air festival. The sound board will have a much bigger impact than the guitar itself
There really isn't much difference between my ESP and LTD guitars. I'm old enough to remember when there were shit cheap guitars or really good expensive guitars and not much in between lol
Here we go, the people show Victims of tomorrow The way it goes, it never shows Emptiness or sorrow There is nothing left inside Nothing left to cry for So I justify my crimes Things that I must die for So alone, away it goes The life that you have wasted You never know where it might go The sweet success you've tasted Tested by a bitter frown Knowing I must die for Can't confide to all the lies No one to inquire As I wander, change of seasons As I realise that I'll soon be there I'll let you know, the reapers show Makes you beg or borrow He comes to see the tragedy His fate he will not follow Wearing your electric crown The preacher starts to pray Shiver as the lights go down Heed these words I say As I wander, change of seasons I can't ponder, got my reasons As I realise I don't care All I know is that I'll soon be there Now it's done, the time has come The people stand in silence Another dawn has come and gone His fate has been decided There is no one left inside A brain without mind Traces of a bitter man Are all that you will find As I wander, change of seasons I can't ponder, got my reasons As I realise I don't care All I know is, that I'll soon be there And I'll soon be there And I'll soon be there And I'll soon be there
Saw them on June 21, 93. With COC and Iron Maiden. Tinley Park. Front Row. Great great show! However, I'm glad Maiden was last because after standing in front of Dave Murray's Marshall wall for 1.5hrs, I was pleasantly deaf and the tremors in my upper torso needed to dissipate!
Hahaha Alex Skolnick plays a guitar solo and is obviously focused on the camera but, when Eric Peterson plays a guitar solo, Alex Skolnick is focused :(
FUK YEAH. Testament delivers. TESTAMENT TESTAMENT TESTAMENT. Love Chuck Billys air guitar solos on microphone stand. All hail the LEGACY that is TESTAMENT.. 1 of the Kings of THRASH. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Older Billy gets the more his belly sticks out...ive seen them around 11 times over the yrs with the first being their very 1st tour many yrs ago... ive noticed that now the older he gets the more his tongue sticks out when he has to do the high notes. Haha

electric crown is one of the best metal songs of all time
Absolutely
Yes, bro
I agree 100%
Yes it is
Definitely. I heard this for the first time back in '94 on Headbangers Ball. I didn't buy the album till '97. The Ritual for me is Testament's best album. Modern classic.
Skolnick and Peterson are one of the best duo's out there
Nailing the right guy soloing - the eternal struggle for all video directors 🤣
Eric stepping up his game over the years
Eric Peterson is so underrated as a player. Dude is fantastic. And of course Alex needs no additional hype, he is as advertised!
Agree 100% . Eric’s a total riff lord .

I'm I the only one who thinks Alex is
criminally🤘😈🤘 underrated!?!?
I dont know.
I never get tired of listening to Electric Crown over and over and over again 😅
What a fucking great live band. Unparalleled musicianship. Not bad for 50-something dudes. THRASH FOREVER
Um 60 something
This killer song is a masterpiece. Alex Skolnick's solo just amazing.

Testament...one of the best!
This song is so fuckin' rhythmic. It's infectious.
I love testament for 30 year's.. they still kick ass.
what a cool underrated song it was in the tape cassette... long live the tape casette!
I wonder how many times chuck bites his tongue while singing?
Classic!
Hahaha 🤣 stop reading my mind

An amazing solo, the fact that it is accessible and radio friendly doesn’t take away how fucking awesome song it is

that solo from alex is sick! underrated!
This song is a freaking masterpiece !!!!!
If that doesn't get you moving, your dead!
It is hands down one of my best findings of 2023
Thank you, Mr. Skolnick, sir
Damn...they sound great🤘🏻
I think it really speaks to the quality of ESP LTD that Alex is playing the LTD version of his guitar during a venue like this.
Depends on the player.
A great player can make just about any guitar sound amazing.
It's also worth keeping in mind that they have guitar techs who are going to bring any guitar they're given up to phenomenal specs.
Additionally, since he's a sponsored artist there's no way to know whether that's an actual LTD that was made in Korea or Indonesia or if it's just a custom shop ESP badged as an LTD for sponsorship purposes.

@@krymsix574 found the sound engineer
There really isn't much difference between my ESP and LTD guitars. I'm old enough to remember when there were shit cheap guitars or really good expensive guitars and not much in between lol
Scott Ian also plays some his cheaper signature Jacksons on stage.
That Song during the Time just Getting Better and Cooller
I saw them play in '93 in Oklahoma City. They were badass then, and they are still badass now!!
Gene Hoglan is a beast on those drums! Too bad he left testament….he’s an outstanding drummer.
It's amazing why this guy sounded so familiar to me. Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion!
One of my favorite bands for sure, this band always delivers!!!
Here we go, the people show
Victims of tomorrow
The way it goes, it never shows
Emptiness or sorrow
There is nothing left inside
Nothing left to cry for
So I justify my crimes
Things that I must die for
So alone, away it goes
The life that you have wasted
You never know where it might go
The sweet success you've tasted
Tested by a bitter frown
Knowing I must die for
Can't confide to all the lies
No one to inquire
As I wander, change of seasons
As I realise that I'll soon be there
I'll let you know, the reapers show
Makes you beg or borrow
He comes to see the tragedy
His fate he will not follow
Wearing your electric crown
The preacher starts to pray
Shiver as the lights go down
Heed these words I say
As I wander, change of seasons
I can't ponder, got my reasons
As I realise I don't care
All I know is that I'll soon be there
Now it's done, the time has come
The people stand in silence
Another dawn has come and gone
His fate has been decided
There is no one left inside
A brain without mind
Traces of a bitter man
Are all that you will find
As I wander, change of seasons
I can't ponder, got my reasons
As I realise I don't care
All I know is, that I'll soon be there
And I'll soon be there
And I'll soon be there
And I'll soon be there
Immernoch Mega!!!
What a sound!
Love Testament 🤘💜

Testament + Death = EPIC
Makes me want to smash my head against the dashboard over and over. Testament rules!
Vedere chuck invecchiare mi fa male il cuore diobes...e pure rende ancora un sacco
They should be in the big 4
Yes they should!!!!Testament🤟🤟
They're way better than all of the big 4. Better people too!
Hahaha Alex Skolnick plays a guitar solo and is obviously focused on the camera but, when Eric Peterson plays a guitar solo, Alex Skolnick is focused :(
Yeah he should have focused on the guitarist who is playing the solo
@@arvindshastry1178 you were 100% drunk when you typed this
@@sigori4672 I don't know what are you saying.
Yeah, damn switcher
I don't think the director realized Peterson played that first solo.
Bad ass song
Ce groupe est légendaire et s'améliore avec le temps !
As great a player as Alex Skolnick is, nobody would notice if not for Eric Peterson who is often overlooked and always underrated.
That black Dean is badass
Alex is so fucking sick, my God
Alex is at the top of his fucking form here🤘
El sonido es increíble
Testament en Viveiro !!
Y ... la tercera vez e uno de sus conciertos.
Y ke vuelvan por aki !!!
Vamos Testament!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
THIS is how you f'king sing & play & head-bang dammit!!! Kickass!!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Amazing as always
That was awesome!
Hell yeah 🤘
Temazo 🤘🏻
FUK YEAH. Testament delivers. TESTAMENT TESTAMENT TESTAMENT. Love Chuck Billys air guitar solos on microphone stand. All hail the LEGACY that is TESTAMENT.. 1 of the Kings of THRASH. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Grandiosos
Meanwhile in the Multiverse, Chavez is a rockstar!
Long live Testament
Sa sa fracture mon gars !!! Trop bien !!!

ESTABA EN PRIMERA FILA!!! \m/
Hail to Alex Skolnik!🤘
ALEX! THE MAN!
Subirán el setlist completo?
2:00 🇨🇱
Wooow mola testament
Je suis pas jeune mais oui borde
Chuck looks like my grandmother when she was 6o years old..no kidding.she is on my profile picture
Release the airbourne set
Subid el de Lamb oficial God, quiero ver esos circle pits en alta definición
I've seen these guys so many times. And every time I'm always shocked by how big of humans they all are. I'm tall 6'3 and they all dwarfed my ass.
TESTAMENT fucking rules!
Why show us Eric when you should be showing us Alex, and vice versa?
I think they should have been part of the Big 4. Nothing against Anthrax.
Is that Steve DiGiorgio on bass?
Alex makes it all look so damn easy
It aopears Chucks been taking singing lessons from Ken Tamplin.
I like the part where his tongue comes completely out of his mouth while he's singing.
Amazing laid back rocking tune by Testament's standards. This must be like taking a break for the drummer, on this case Gene.
Older Billy gets the more his belly sticks out...ive seen them around 11 times over the yrs with the first being their very 1st tour many yrs ago... ive noticed that now the older he gets the more his tongue sticks out when he has to do the high notes. Haha
Epic Band but boy oh boy did the grow old since I first heard them back in the 80s....oh fuck, I also grew old🤔🤪
ОХУЕННО
Im not fan of them so much, but this song is killer ! bay strikes !
The real Big Fourth besides Metallica Megadeth and, in my opinion, Exodus.
Le signe de croix de peterson...
Subiréis de Arch Enemy ?
Ete da magnè meno
Suvirlo full
Does anyone else see something weird with his tongue?
Alex. Fucking. Skolnick.
Se parece a Chávez
Wtf!!! The singer looks like the president chavez!!
Video director 🤦♂️
The guitar rhythm is jibberish
how soo?
Kick metallica out of the big four, that vacancy is for TESTAMENT!
Testament >>>>> Metallica.
Metallica are nothing compared to testament, it should have been testament on the big four instead of Metallica.
Really enjoyed hardly hearing the solo lol
