I did not ever forget the amazing Eric Peterson! Without his amazing rhythms and occasional lead there would be no testament! He and Chuck kept that band together for all these years , and Bob bless ‘em for that ! Chuck had a bout with some illness a few years back , and I’m glad he’s still here with us .
Eric Peterson and Alex skolnick are the BEST tandom. Alex skolnick is a guitar God. Best lead thrash guitarist in my book. Number 1. Best thrash band EVER. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of the best guitarists for sure but definitely not the best thrash band. Lots of better ones out there. Not saying Testament are bad but not in the top 10 :)
Alex is in a league of his own. This song makes me feel like what i imagine a peaceful musical death would be like. When a song sparks an emotion like that is what seperates the greatest guitar players from the good ones
I was there in Reggio emilia IT WAS 1992 ! It was an incredible 1 day festival with some of the best bands of the period. Pantera warrant megadeth testament black sabbath iron maiden, for 15 dollars approximately. Today it seems to be unreal it was the golden age of metal ! Great Alex Skolnick !
Peterson and sckolnick easily floats into eachother, one of the best live performances they did!! Epic, one of the best trash band on earth and very underatted band, they belong in the big 4, and still at this day still holding to there roots 🤘🤘
I agree. He is one of my main influences from back in the day when I started playing. He is underated because he quit at the height of his career. He went out to try his hand at jazz and never recovered. I think he wanted to be like a Satriani type player but just couldn't pull it off. I've always considered him in that high class of virtuosos though. His work speaks for itself. And he was a pro at age sixteen! No metal prodigy can touch this guy.
Listen carefully kids! This was how it sounded like before Evertune Bridge during a real life concert! These guys ruled my teenage years! Bless them! 🤘
My soul is off my body is flying over the sea next to the cluds,wind, birds ETC. i cant not feel more free i cant feel more good more calm, relax i dont need nothing to be happy just music THIS music
Love that jackson kelly and of course this amazingly sad song. Hail testament. I got their tape at kmart when i was 11 yrs old of "low" i liked the cover and have forever been a fantill this day.
Io c'ero a Reggio Emilia, ERA IL 1992 ! pino scotto pantera warrant megadeth testament black sabbath iron maiden se non ricordo male 36 mila lire ! Oggi un festival del genere sarebbe impossibile, ad ogni modo non esistono piu gruppi cosi non ci resta che rimpiangere nostalgici quanto era bello il metal allora ! alex skolnick grandioso !
beautiful,tears in my eyes,well these 2 songs for me are 2 of the best things they made,nothing to say,i saw them here in curitiba-brazil,this years,great,alex for me is one of top 10 guitars of the world.
Last year I saw Slayer for the 14th time, Testament for the 2nd (and I feel honored for this) and Megadeth for the 1st. THAT was EPIC!! Chuck Billy has the greatest voice in metal.
In the late 80’s early 90’s these guys were being brought up to be an heir apparent to the thrash SF scene to the mighty Met ! Think the different direction and production of the ritual made a slight change for not the better . The ritual is an amazing album , but just didn’t hit as hard as the new order ,practice , or souls . Also to mention Alex Skolnick was ready to leave and do something completely different, jazz ! That’s not a bad form of music , definitely changed my perspective of metal music , you could hear the difference in all of the other ‘metal’ bands at the time . Exhibit A and a stint in savatage and Ozzy for like a second . I was like ‘you don’t want to play metal and be a jazzy martini guy , now you’re going back to the well’? Testament was not afraid to venture into new waters of music . The stylings of Alex’s fluidity of notes and time changes flowed . Souls of black the song was very jazzy in its approach, bass line is almost r&b . Skolnick leaves , they got heavier and used lower tunings . Almost unrecognizable to my ears , didn’t listen to them for many years after that . Only after reunion with Skolnick did I give a listen , and it sounded like the old testament. Now many years later I see this video and I am reminded of how ignorant I can be and how this band changed my perspective of metal music , and music in general. Love the Testament!
Combo of two songs - Look at the vid title - Musical Death (A Dirge) appears on the album The New Order [ Instrumental song ] and flows right into a later tune The Legacy from the album Souls of Black [ IMO one of their best melodic metal tunez. ]
Their new stuff is fucking great!!! Def very underrated band!! Saw them live in some small clubs during the late 80s early 90s. Great shows each time! Alex Skolnick one of the best metal guitarists out there.
I rememer having to buy this cassette tape over and over again because it never left my tape deck and I just wore the damn things out. Souls of Black changed my life.
Testament kicks ass! Chuck may have had some pitch problems on this one but nobody is perfect all the time. He is still my most favorite metal vocalist and long time friend of mine. we got drunk at my wedding and played The ballad off of Paractice what you preach for my first dance! My grandpa was like WTF? back in 91, and my ex wife now!
Testament is a good kick ass thrash metal band...i just dont understand how they are so underrated. they should be the big "5"...alex skolnick is a great guitarist and im so glad he came with the new album...testament rules...\m/...
one of the most under-rated, i totally agree. the Judas Priest guitarists and the guitarists from Glam metal band 'Roxx Gang' r also unbelieveably under-rated
This song always reminds me of my friend Brian who was killed in 1992 at 15yrs old. He gave me a taped copy of this before he died. RIP BRIAN
Rip Brian
RIP Brian. 🤘🔥💙
RIP Brian
RIP Brian
He knew beautiful gutair. This one's for Brian.
Crowd was weak for such an iconic masterpiece.
17yrs later and watching this...
F--- yeah! Legacy is one of the best ballads ever written!
Agreed!
I think Return to serenity is better
@@arvindshastry1178 the trío: the ballad-the legacy- return to serenity. Add Trail of tears.
@@kikethrasher2448 all masterpieces
Testament =
single
most underrated band in history
I did not ever forget the amazing Eric Peterson!
Without his amazing rhythms and occasional lead there would be no testament!
He and Chuck kept that band together for all these years , and Bob bless ‘em for that !
Chuck had a bout with some illness a few years back , and I’m glad he’s still here with us .
Eric Peterson and Alex skolnick are the BEST tandom. Alex skolnick is a guitar God. Best lead thrash guitarist in my book. Number 1. Best thrash band EVER. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of the best guitarists for sure but definitely not the best thrash band. Lots of better ones out there. Not saying Testament are bad but not in the top 10 :)
Love Testament, they are definitely in my top 3 with Slayer and Kreator.
@@arvindshastry1178
I love KREATOR. And slayer. Great bands. . 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Testament kicks ass! Alex Skolnick is one of the best lead guitarists ever imo.
Skolnick and Peterson are such amazing players, there is always some esoteric feel to their music.
The Legacy and The New Order = two of the best Bay Area Thrash albums of all time!
The Metallica that never has been...I never understood why Testament didn't get as huge as they should.
Testament made a "bad" commercial decision: not selling out.
Please don't compare Metallica with Testament. Testament is way better than Metallica
Testament beat the shit out of Metallica any day.
this can only be a joke with my fucking face of course the testament has always been and will always be better than metallica,yeaaah
Jeremy Cubs Testament is huge!!
This is the testament I remember the most man. There's nothing better than the original line up imo. That's when they wrote their best songs/albums..
Alex is in a league of his own. This song makes me feel like what i imagine a peaceful musical death would be like. When a song sparks an emotion like that is what seperates the greatest guitar players from the good ones

Easily my favorite Testament song! Timeless classic!
The same in my case!!! The really touching anthem of Thrash Metal ballads!!! The very best of Testame!!! \m/
Big respect to original Drummer louie C., His simple yet effective and musical playing make him my favorite testament drummer of all.
Man I remember seeing testament in allentown pa everytime they came around.
Greatest thrash band ever
I absolutely love Musical Death (A Dirge). It is in fact, my ultimate song ever. I cry every time I hear it. I get chills.
Great!! 1992 Monsters of Rock at Reggio Emilia, I was there and i remember this song just like it happened yesterday. Heavy Metal never die!!
uno dei pochi gruppi che dal vivo sono MEGLIO che in studio! Grandiosi!
What a great voice chuck has here
this is an exmaple of greatness of metal music
I love Testament!
Skolnick is an absolute beast!!
One of my all time favorite bands!!!
skolnick y peterson 👌 hace un año que no escuchaba este tema, los amo 😍
I agree. He is one of my main influences from back in the day when I started playing. He is underated because he quit at the height of his career. He went out to try his hand at jazz and never recovered. I think he wanted to be like a Satriani type player but just couldn't pull it off.

Alex is the most under-rated guitarist ever.
This is one of my favorite videos on all of TH-cam... Skolnick is the man
the best 1,2 punch by Testament...love it...long live Testament...\m/...
Many Memories I have with this sweet song,I still have TESTAMENT cds,I still hear this Great rock band 😀👍💪👏 blessings"

This is music. Real music.
This is one of the best intros in all my live I heard 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻n one of my favorite songs

Fuck that's 1992 Modena (if I well remember..)I WAS THERE!! I saw Megadeth, Pantera, Iron Maiden!!! One of the best show I've ever seen!
Reggio Emilia
@@albertoboccali7437 vero hai ragione. Festa unità. Lapsus con i live dei guns ;)
Hard to pick a favorite Testament song... \m/ \m/
Thanx for posting this!
I like Eric's solo.....I like the line: "Just another lonely boy"....gives me goosebumps like Dime's Floods' solo.
My soul is off my body
is flying over the sea
next to the cluds,wind, birds ETC.
i cant not feel more free
i cant feel more good
more calm, relax
i dont need nothing to be happy
just music
THIS music
La canción más atemporal y completa en la historia del thrash metal, nunca me canso de escuchar
Every time I see a band playing at this show the crowd never looks like they're enjoying the music
Yeah Pantera's concert too
Testament was such an underrated band of the 80's-90's. So nice to catch up with them after all of these years. Thanks for this...
Chuck's wearing a C.O.C. shirt, hell yeah!!!!
Love that jackson kelly and of course this amazingly sad song. Hail testament. I got their tape at kmart when i was 11 yrs old of "low" i liked the cover and have forever been a fantill this day.
These guys are so amazing and the fact that they could always pull it off live only reiterates that!
Another Joe student. What makes Alex great? Distinctive sound. Monster player.
what like Vai?
Dude!! He's talking Steve Vai !!
juan battini what?
***** I mean Joe Satriani, its been a long day lol
wait you're right he was his teacher?
Memories of Miami. 1992-1997.
Testament was my favourite band. I had their T-shirt.
yup, completely agree! When I saw these guys, I stood there like a statue, just watching, listening, absorbing the genius music of this band!!!!
he puts lots of feeling on his playing and rythm
what todays are rare
Nostalgia feels like home. !!!! brilliant! thanks for the upload !!
Musical Death and The Legacy sound so much better in this tuning!

beautiful,tears in my eyes,well these 2 songs for me are 2 of the best things they made,nothing to say,i saw them here in curitiba-brazil,this years,great,alex for me is one of top 10 guitars of the world.
One of the most under rated videos on youtube...
TestamenT are one of the all time greatest metal bands. Hugely underrated. This concert footage is awesome. Thanks for posting it:-)
Last year I saw Slayer for the 14th time, Testament for the 2nd (and I feel honored for this) and Megadeth for the 1st. THAT was EPIC!! Chuck Billy has the greatest voice in metal.
This SYMPHONY of lyric feel it deep inside my soul and to tempted on my image hallucynation
eric peterson's tone is so good
semplicemente stupenda

Man, that was one of my first concert, an amazing "Monsters of Rock" in Reggio Emilia 1992!! They really rocked!!
oooh yeah ive been to that in manchester apollo!! Fuuuucken hell they were abnormally good!!!!!! Testament was the band I went to see!!!!!
damn skolnick really derailed the way he executed the main solo on the legacy. @6:42 the sliding octaves gives a nice touch
deffinately one of the best instrumentals!!
I rememer having to buy this cassette tape over and over again because it never left my tape deck and I just wore the damn things out. Souls of Black changed my life.
Testament in Puerto Rico this April 22, 2007!!! YEAH!!
amazing songs.
great idea of playing them together
Testament kicks ass! Chuck may have had some pitch problems on this one but nobody is perfect all the time. He is still my most favorite metal vocalist and long time friend of mine. we got drunk at my wedding and played The ballad off of Paractice what you preach for my first dance! My grandpa was like WTF? back in 91, and my ex wife now!
AWESOME!!!!
what a pieace of art...dam it
I love the bass line
loooove this song....Testament was my alltime fave band in high school...it's still awesome to study microbiology to, lol.
@Eruption360 Great song mate!!nice work!I'd like to see more... ;)
The Legacy at 4:00
You spelled 3:00 wrong. ;)
yeah at 3:00 mate
Great performance. One of the kind.
Beautiful
gawd!! i love this band!!
Testament is a good kick ass thrash metal band...i just dont understand how they are so underrated. they should be the big "5"...alex skolnick is a great guitarist and im so glad he came with the new album...testament rules...\m/...
I just seen them live, unreal!!
Yeah, more than legends! Unfortunatly i was born on the 10th of february of 1992 so i was just 7 months old!
i'm glad i got to see testament live. it was pretty much the original lineup that i saw except for the drummer
beautiful!!!
one of the most under-rated, i totally agree. the Judas Priest guitarists and the guitarists from Glam metal band 'Roxx Gang' r also unbelieveably under-rated
Petition for testament to be in the big 4
I would sigh that petition
They both have almost the same style and it's difficult to say who is the best....They both kick ass!!!!;)
Alex Skolnick è un grandissimo!!! Grazie a Dio è tornato l'anno scorso dopo un pò di jazz.. ancora più cattivo!!!
Jak można TAK GRAć na gitarze ?????
Rozumiem 20 lat wstecz,
Wraca mi wiara w niektóre wartości :)))
esta canción es realmente hermosa..muy completa.
This concert is the one i would have loved to be at
Seeing them tonight in Montreal!
