I can't find another metal singer keeping huge quality and power through so many years as Chuck Billy does. The band is always powerful and tecnichally perfect. It's a shame to see TESTAMENT in an afternoon show.
Wow, Alex Skolnick is the best guitarist in the entire universe. This sounds amazing on a good pair of headphones, I can't imagine how awesome it would sound actually being there, hearing it live. Epic!!!
42:30, the reason Alex is my fav guitarist, fav solo.... just keeps going, and going..... From the first time I heard him in 88, he blew me away and wanted to emulate him.
I'm 34 years old and I'm sorry, the 80s bands were just...better than today's bands. Such a better grasp of songwriting, melody, dynamics, and overall musicianship. Don't get me wrong there's some incredibly talented metal bands that have come since then, but the best metal came from the 80s, hands down!! Social media addiction has destroyed most people's brains, so they can't focus enough to compose music like this...
Didn't say there wasn't talent. Though I will say Trivium and Unearth got NOTHING on Testament IMO. Their songs are chaos. Arrangements all over the place. Very little structure. The guys can play but they struggle with the writing aspect. I actually saw Unearth open for Testament like back in '08. Unearth was good, but kinda started to sound repetitive and the lack of song structure was really starting to grate. Then Testament came on and blew them completely off the stage. Unearth's guitar players were good, but Alex Skolnick was just in a different league. Not even close...
One thing I will give you is that the drum/bass playing improved generally from the 80s. See your examples. Lou Clemente was fast but he just wasn't all that creative behind the kit. Once Testament got John Tempesta and then Lombardo and now Hoglan it was all over though!
Damn, what a performance- really shows their experience and expertise as metal musicians, or even just musicians - excellent band. Should've been "The Big Five"!
Pow mano Voltei aqui pra dizer que ele largou esse costume Agora ele canta com o microfone normal como outro frontman qualquer Q pena Era a marca registrada dele
I look out at this crowd at my metal brothers who grew up on Destruction, Kreator, and so on...and know that WE are the strongest audience of ANY form of music!!!
Thrash is not even my fav sub genre, but Testament gave fucking everything on this show... *True American Hate* is one of the most brutal pieces ever recorded, and the crowd was just lame.
I've followed this particular artist since they formed in '95. You people have to understand, Steve Schrippa had just been kicked out of Metallica when he decided to launch Testament. If you weren't part of the midwest party scene, you missed it. Some of the best power metal comes from the midwest. Testament, Metallica, megadeth, slayer, exodus, warbringer, gorguts.
Wow Eric Peterson kicked ass on a few solos....See that's how good Testament is, their rhythm guitarist is a better lead player than alot of other bands lead guitarist....lol...they are the SHIT
Too bad Greg got treated like s*** from Chuck and Eric and left. He was part of the original line up when Chuck wasn't. Should have stayed, but whatever, Steve DiGiorgio is a pretty cool replacement.
Always loved a good Testament pit! If i came out uninjured, it was a waste of time. Lets just say Testament always delivered the goods! Blood, bruises, fucked up joints. Nothing like it ❤
simply, there are moments when the bass is good but sometimes the bass volume went to 0, listen to the intro of Practice What You Preach, there is no bass, but throughout the song the bass is hearble
why don't they ever play more off the Formation of Damnation? That album is one of the only metal albums i can listen to from start to finish. Theres not 1 bad song
*una bandera mexicana hasta el frente del concierto 🥰* 1:18 *Toca Raúl jajaja* Es curioso como Chuck Billy agarra la varilla del micrófono Tengo entendído que el también toca la guitarra,pero como es el vocalista y el frontman no es necesario que toque una en los conciertos jajaja Aún así se nota mucho porque los punteos que hace son los mismos que las canciones que están tocando Por cierto,que público tan tieso,les falta moverse mas
Chuck Billy ......what an underrated guitarrist!!!!
lol nice
He was the vocalist
@@hubertcooper1391 are you stupid ? It was a joke... Because he plays air guitar on stage...
Lol yeah
@@hubertcooper1391 Whoooosh
The Bass player is awesome!! making that Fender Jazz bass sing.
Greg Christiansen, big bass guitar.
@@ricardoblancogalean8884 Yes i like his Sound , but i am more a Fan of Steve DiGiorgio
@@monsi6663 sadus
Chuck Billy. Best vocalist and air guitarist in Thrash Metal
Yeah pal!
I can't find another metal singer keeping huge quality and power through so many years as Chuck Billy does. The band is always powerful and tecnichally perfect. It's a shame to see TESTAMENT in an afternoon show.
oh my god, CHUCK BILLY'S voices sounds great and powerfull in this one
Chuck Billys Air Guitar skills are amazing
sacred talent!
Wow, Alex Skolnick is the best guitarist in the entire universe. This sounds amazing on a good pair of headphones, I can't imagine how awesome it would sound actually being there, hearing it live. Epic!!!
Damn right he is
His body of work can stand up against anybodys ,,,ANYBODYS .....lol Hes fkn amazing.
I saw him live last year and it did indeed sound awesome
42:30, the reason Alex is my fav guitarist, fav solo.... just keeps going, and going..... From the first time I heard him in 88, he blew me away and wanted to emulate him.
I wish I could too. I do think of solos on his approach on Testament
Jajaja bienn ahi brotheer
i love the bass sound of greg, i like steve d too, but this man is underrated.
I agree. Loved Greg in the band. He had a really cool Cliff Burton vibe.
Chuck Billy.....Air guitar champion since 86.

@@pulp735 Skolnick and lombardo are 2 of my fab metal musicians, both awesome in what they do
Charles Leon Focus is the key word
testament is one of those you have got to see live bands...they bring it righteously!!
I love Greg Christian bass sound!
Greg Satanist also kills it!
Testament is Better Tha Big 4..😎🖤🔥🎶🎵🇵🇪🤘🏻
Sempre digo isso irmão sulamericano salve do br! 🇧🇷
Hell yeah! 100% agree.
Yes
Testament,Exodus,Overkill,Death Angel
E aos 1:18 min um homem estende um cartaz dizendo : "TOCA RAUL"
😂😂😂😂😂 Brasil ⚽🌴🌴🌞🌞
Inacreditável! Kkkkk
Até no Wacken isso, kkkkkkkkkk
pqp...
Kkkkk
Kkkkk ngm nunca toca, por isso que continuamos
Mucha Banda, para ese público
jajaajajajaj]
Almenos se comportan no como los animales de mi país ( tercer mundo) 🤣
True that, wtf is wrong with most of them ?!
Damn, what a performance- really shows their experience and expertise as metal musicians, or even just musicians - excellent band. Should've been "The Big Five"!
The big one ,the shit on everyone else 🫡
Best active thrash metal band, fact
Best metal drummer by far!
Amazing.... btw billy skolnik peterson... nuff said ;-)
skolnick learned some stuff from Jon Oliva so yeah he's sick
Eric Peterson is definitely an underrated guitarist
@@Blashyrkh89 absolutely! he is Testament together with chuck...
Thrash Metal at its finest. Horns Up from the Philippines!!!
Mano o Chuck Billy é sensacional fica tocando guitarra com o suporte de microfone
Né kkkkkk
Pow mano
Voltei aqui pra dizer que ele largou esse costume
Agora ele canta com o microfone normal como outro frontman qualquer
Q pena
Era a marca registrada dele
Those last 2 songs were fantastic! His voice was perfect!
What I understood from this live is that chuck wanted to be a guitarist and Gene a T1000. Alex wanted to be probably Stephen Hawking
I look out at this crowd at my metal brothers who grew up on Destruction, Kreator, and so on...and know that WE are the strongest audience of ANY form of music!!!
Nothing beautiful than the classics
Hey, Chuck Billy , hands down is the best ! He still sounds like he did off practice what you preach
1:18 TOCA RAUL huhauahuahauhauhauhauha
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
🤣😂🤣😂
@@Michewl82Brasileiro mitando
Testament still kicking ass!!! 🎃🍺🤘
O show é incrível , mas o toca Raul ali no min 1:21 salvou meu dia kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Brasileiro fazendo brasileirice no wacken

09:20 That bass is fucking incredible
51:11 my favourite song DNR
Me toooo... You know The Name?
@@dariengutierrezmejia1982D.N.R.
Woohoo! Finally happens! Full concert after couple of tease
This band is just impressive. Such a true metal fantastic band. What's wrong with the audience?
theyre stuck in the fuckin mud
Thrash is not even my fav sub genre, but Testament gave fucking everything on this show... *True American Hate* is one of the most brutal pieces ever recorded, and the crowd was just lame.
Saw them in Manchester just yesterday! Awesome!
FIRZEN FIRE they were awesome in Bristol 2
True. Vader and Annihilator was fantastic as well
1:17 "Toca Raul!" - brazilians must be studied hahaha

Bruh there was never a “Steve Schrippa” in Metallica. And Testament certainly was not formed in 95’. The Legacy was released in 87’
😂😂😂 just wow I have nothing!!
@@bentheguitarlord8391 Whoosh
You don't know shit, do you?
Testament es una de mis bandas favoritas. Yo era un adolescente cuando los escuché por primera vez, quedé impresionado y atado al buen metal
Raul mais famoso do que Ed Motta ! O Testament e o Wacken sabem disso!! Toca Raul!!!!
The crowd was disappointed to see Testament as they were expecting Ed Sheeran to perform........... Pathetic crowd
There was about 40 cm of mud, i tried to mosh but i was nearly impossible
On the contrary...I was there and people was freaking out for good!
Wkk
This is wacken. The crowd is not disappointing. Its the best crowd in the world.
Brutal autentic thrash metal high quality
The opening with the hellraiser theme is sooo cool
Was a great day in the front row!
Me, Too!!! Great day! Yeah!
❤ Testament, люблю Вас с 1988 года, Беларусь ❤❤❤
Testament is a band that’s consecutively getting better
Testament Rule 🤘🤘
It is awesome to see a "Toca Raul" sign at a Wacken concert. 1:17
Toca Raul kkkkkkkkk
Daniel Castro kkkkkkkkkk BR é foda
V A L A G R O S S A tem que ser estudado kkkkkkkkk
B R A S I L C A R A I
Daniel Castro tinha que ser brasileiro 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Qual o tempo?
I think Testament is right in there with the big four...I mean...not officially, but I always consider them one of the best trash metal bands
Wow Eric Peterson kicked ass on a few solos....See that's how good Testament is, their rhythm guitarist is a better lead player than alot of other bands lead guitarist....lol...they are the SHIT
It’s nice to clearly hear the bass, it’s a bit loud but he’s rocking it
nada mas sabroso que escuchar buena música mientras cocinas JEJEJEJEJEJ SALUDOS DESDE VENEZUELA!!!!
Very loud and clear.Dammed good music.
Amo essa banda foda do caralho.. ..
Thanks thrash metal🎉🎉🎉
Damn, these guys are good.
Yes!!!!
Poland love Testament💗🎵✊👏🎤🎸🔥
Zgadza się
amoooo a testament la mejor banda de thrash
Over the Wall, a top 10 all time metal song, prove me wrong!
MÉXICO PRESENTE 0:27 !!!!
También en el 1:00
Come on crowd! They are dead?
it's muddy. that's why
Hahaha Pepe Olivares is stupid.
WOA 2012 was muddy as hell, and Testament was on the last day. Its not easy to mosh in deep mud.
This is Wacken. Wacken always has the worst crowds.
Because the band totally blows
The bass guitar really cuts through the mix.
Too bad Greg got treated like s*** from Chuck and Eric and left. He was part of the original line up when Chuck wasn't. Should have stayed, but whatever, Steve DiGiorgio is a pretty cool replacement.
@@NoName-t7e yeah, Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio is probably the best rythm section you can have in extreme metla rn.
1:04 Venezuela carajo!!!!!
Greg Christian on bass
Tô vendo direto da Selva "Green Hell" Amazônica brasileira.
\,,/
O Alex toca muito uns dos melhores
Chuck matching Alex note for note on the air mic guitar
1:18 Br precisa ser estudado
Toca Raul!!! Kkkk
Man practice what you preach is so sick. Fav from em
Big 4 - Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament.
They should be in big 4
Also Kreator should Too!!!!
It's just the first thrash bands signed to a major label. It's not the Best 4.
Testament no Big Four pra ontem !!!
É MUITO BOM ; É ÓTIMO !
Que pena el mal sonido. Una de mis bandas preferidas.
En persona era buenísimo el sonido! Yeah!
Extremely legendary
'into the pit' will be my wedding song
That bass descended straight from the dark pits of hell.
Terrible sound. Was it too difficult to take the audio out of the console for the video?
The greatest
Alex is so amazing! \m/
Saw Testament at Hammersmith Odean 32 years ago, HELL FIRE 😈 WAH HA HA HA...
THE PPPRRREEEAAACCCHHHHEEEERRRR!
The Big 5
36:55 Into the Pit trust me Better then Metallica
Purnama Sticker nope
Purnama Sticker Stop with the comparisons, both are great.
@@rogue7129 Yes they're
Never understood why this band is not part of the Big 4.
Always loved a good Testament pit! If i came out uninjured, it was a waste of time. Lets just say Testament always delivered the goods! Blood, bruises, fucked up joints. Nothing like it ❤
That 🅱️🅰️SS tho
Edit: WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HATING ON THE BASS!?!?
simply, there are moments when the bass is good
but sometimes the bass volume went to 0, listen to the intro of Practice What You Preach, there is no bass, but throughout the song the bass is hearble
why don't they ever play more off the Formation of Damnation? That album is one of the only metal albums i can listen to from start to finish. Theres not 1 bad song
I agree with you bro. The Formation of Damnation is their best album (in my opinion)
Metal forever, om peace and headbangin til death
Not one song from the legacy?burnt offerings and the haunting are must haves for a testament set.
01:18 huehueheuheuheuhe
DASUIDJHSAUDHUASDS MANO EU RI DEMAIS ASDHUASDHSAU BR E FODA
Yg masih nnton di thn 2019 acungkan jempol nya..😁😁

the mix was too quiet, especially the guitars
It was great!!!!
Eric's guitar volume was too low as compared to Alex's guitar volume
THE BAND TESTAMENT IT IS BEST OF MUSIC METAL
🤟👍
Chuck.. Delay in your ear???
*una bandera mexicana hasta el frente del concierto 🥰*
1:18 *Toca Raúl jajaja*
Es curioso como Chuck Billy agarra la varilla del micrófono
Tengo entendído que el también toca la guitarra,pero como es el vocalista y el frontman no es necesario que toque una en los conciertos jajaja
Aún así se nota mucho porque los punteos que hace son los mismos que las canciones que están tocando
Por cierto,que público tan tieso,les falta moverse mas
Chuck is the best air guitar Player ever
No he isn't
Testament never disappoints Live. Trust me, I know. 😆
Testament are fucking good, the guys do well on the show
