Best Testament Leads

[Insania]

Played most of their catalogue over the last two days, and I have to say that the solo on the song Practice What You Preach is the best one laid down.

The best live solo was Skolnick's 'Burnt Offerings' at TOTT -- I could swear I was listening to the CD, he nailed it note-for-note...

Your choices?

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

Definitely Over the Wall and First Strike Still Deadly are my top two favorites. He's a great player.

 

[Testament Legions]

Too many to list...

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

*nod* to Over the Wall. Apocalyptic City and Reign of Terror rawk as well.

Hard to go wrong with a Skolnick lead. As far as pure shredding, the leads on The Legacy are pretty brutal. I also love the leads on Souls of Black... lots of melodic, shredding arpeggios.

I agree with TL, theres to many to list, but one on of them thats up there is Eerie Inhabitants.

 

[Stun]

Do you mean solos or any leads at all? I assume you mean any leads.

I haven't heard all of Testament's songs, but I think the intro to Eerie Inhabitants is really fucking intense... I love Return to Serenity's solo a lot too. Troubled Dreams is another really good one. Can't forget Signs of Chaos either, tho.

To me: SOB, PWYP, Electric Crown are probably best Testament solos. I hope Steve gives his best shot on upcoming album and his solos will be as good as those mentioned by me.

Hi JimmyPL! I know this is a bit late, but welcome to the TL Forum!

Just about every Testament lead (be it Al, James or Eric) is fucking amazing, so I'll just list a few that haven't been named in this thread yet:
- Malpractice
- A Dirge
- Face In The Sky
- The Ritual
- All I Could Bleed
- Fall Of Sipledome
- Deadline

Thank You :hotjump:

Thank You :hotjump:

You're welcome, JimmyPL. Last night I had some Polish vodka - it's the best!

If I had to pick my fave solos, they would be from The New Order/P.W.Y.P. and The Gathering.
