Chuck's guest appearances

[one man]

Ok, I found that Soilwork info. Chuck sang "Follow the Hollow" with them (one of his favourite bands back then) on June 6th, 2002 at the Cactus Club in San Jose. This was his first live performance since "Into the Pit" at Thrash of the Titans.

Here's what DE wrote about it. Too bad the video he recorded never ended up on YT. http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/steve-digiorgio/30337-chuck-billy-sing-soilwork-san-jose.html

I'd love to hear Chuck doing some Death stuff.Matter of fact can we get Chuck to do the vocals over on every metal album ever made?

That's a brilliant idea . The only down side I see is that we wouldn't get the next testament LP or even EP soon.

 

[redfly]

Ha,yeah.But it might be worth it! Those Slayer and Pantera song he did were awesome.

 

[Sole Reaper]

If Testament ever redid an album of there's if should be Souls of Black. Better production and Gene Hoglan on drums would make that record that much better.

I also saw Chuck on stage with Dragonlord at Milwaukee Metalfest in 2002. They did a run through of "Into The Pit", complete with members of Exodus and Vio-lence (who both played earlier) shouting gang vocals.

 

[one man]

Cool. Thanks for the info! I'm guessing that since it was 2002 Dragonlord still consisted of Eric, SdG, Steve Smythe, Jon Allen and Lyle Livingstone, right? Or, wait, that might have been Derrick Ramirez on bass already.

According to BBM, Chuck will sing Mr. Crowley on a RR tribute album. The song will feature also A. Laiho, R. Sarzo, V. Appice and K. Rhoads.

Here's Chuck doing Refuse/Resist as a part of the Metal Allegiance (Alex and Johnny Tempesta are also a part of this project):

AH,THANK YOU ONE MAN! I've been looking for some with Chuck and couldn't find any!

 

[one man]

Glad I could help. I've also seen Lights out but the quality was very poor.

Found the whole show:

Chuck sounds good and seems to enjoy it a lot - especially the Sepultura stuff. Too bad Mark from DA didn't have the best day. He's a very good singer. Zet didn't shine as well. I guess more rehearsals would have helped.

oh, and be sure to check out Cold Gin - it's the first time I've seen Chuck play something else than air guitar

 

[redfly]

To me all the singers sounded really bad except for Chuck!

Also Alex looked uncomfortable to me when using the wammy bar on the Van Halen stuff

The Ozzy's song with Chuck has been released. Check it out:

[redfly]

Pretty cool one man! I think they should have had Testament do it though. It would have been better.

 

[one man]

Definitely. These all-star tribute albums usually consist of songs recorded by musicians who have never even seen each other in a studio. Everybody does their part in their own studio and the producer merges this into a song hence the total lack of live feel to the material. Still awesdome to hear more Chuck. Can't wait for a proper Testament album. Man, they could an EP at least.

 

[redfly]

Yeah and considering that Alex does play on a song!
An EP would be great! I miss those!

Here's Chuck's song on the Metal Allegiance album (Alex's a major part of that project along with Portnoy and Elleffson)

Chuck sounds pretty old school. The intro kinda resembles Seasons in the Abyss, doesn't it? Shit, I can't wait for the new Testament album. 6 months at least...

 

[redfly]

I think I'm probably going to be listening to this all day lol I wish it wasn't all different singers though...or least I wish some of them weren't on there.
