Why can't bands just be straight with us when members leave?
At any rate, fuck you Bostaph for leaving Slayer high and dry during the the God Hates Us All tour, but thank you for departing and leading to the return of the superior Lombardo. I doubt your perofrmance on this album will be on par with Lombardo's on "The Gathering". That was simply amazing drumming.
Amd what the hell is taking so long with this release. I thought they had been writing material for it since the Spring of 2002?

I'd get sick of playing the same 3 beats too,can't blame him on that one.I think his playing was real strong with Forbidden.Playing for Testament would be way more fun than playing for slayer.Testament have more to offer musically and diversity wise.Good move Paul!!!\m/

HA HA,I dont think so.Slayers albums are far superior to Testaments stuff.And at least Slayer can put out albums and tour the USA on a regular basis.Testament are taking "far" to long to release a new album.And finally,Bastoph is one hell of a drummer.

It's not a ? as to who is better than who. Both bands kick ass. As for drummers, I prefer Slayer with Lombardo and Testament will definitly benifit from having Bostaph behind the kit. Just be glad the guy is playing metal and not some wierd shit like some metal drummers go on to do. I do agree with SlayerNPG in the fact, The Gathering will be hard to beat. Sounds like both bands will have new material out around the same time. Let's see them on the same bill, that would fuckin' jam!

What ever. All Testament albums top the Gathering except for Demonic. The new one will be no exception. I expect the new one to be what The Gathering should have been. I have no idea how good Paul is as a drummer; he was in a band that hasn't known how to make metal for the past 10 years. It should be interesting to hear what Paul can do in a real band.

Aggravated an old softball injury by lifting a laptop? How much does a laptop weigh, like 5 pounds? What a Nancy-boy! He was good in Forbidden, and he'll do fine in Testicle, but Slayer's definitely better with Lombardo.

This is GOOD news for Testament fans. Everybody was worried about the drummer slot in Testament when Lombardo went back to Slayer, and now people are bitching about Bostaph? Count your blessings, you fickle pickles, 'cause Bostaph will MORE than deliver on the new album!!!!

GHUA didn't have fast or didn't have complex drumming. I said it had shit drumming, to go along with the shit guitars, the shit lyrics, the shit vocals, the shit booklet, the shit messages, the shit EVERYTHING. They even released the damn thing on the shittiest day; 9/11/01. The albums sucks, and it's not because of Bostaph.

I, for one, think both bands shall remain more than decent. Even if Slayer's recent albums were shitty, having Lombardo back in definitely enhances the experience. Testament could kick ass no matter what drummer they had really. Both bands own. End'a'story.

somehow brings down the quality of the music? no way, it's a pretty damn good CD, not their best, but still good, and the drumming on it was quite good, I think having the CD released on that day was almost like predicting t he future, perfect album title for the day, and yes i realize that is pretty twisted, after having to put up with all sorts of bullshit at school that day about the WTC I was quite relieved to finally be able to go get God Hates Us All that afternoon, I'm actually surprised that fundementalist Christian groups weren't trying to get it removed from stores after that, i thought for sure that was gonna happen

Ok, Testament take some time. At least their past two CD's were actually thrash.
Not to mention, Tool take an average four years to release a CD. They pretty much have the biggest fanbase of any band. Your point is every but valid.

They haven't been able to nail down a permanent drummer for years... Though, on the up side, they've been lucky enough to work with some of the greatest drummers in the metal industry: Dave Lombardo, Paul Bostaph, John Tempesta, Chris Kontos...
You know, people always talk about Slipknot being the shit because they have three drummers. Sadly, all three of those drummers suck ass. Now, if Testament could rope in all those drummers they've worked with that I just listed, and had all of them playing complex drum rhythms - even on just a single song - we'd get to see THE SHIT. That would fucking kick so much ass... Can you imagine?

Testament better than Slayer? excuse me, i almost pissed myself laughing.
anyway, the album was released on 9/11, so fucking what? i listened to that album when i got it on 9/12 and in between the news and blasting it 3 or 4 times that day--the song God Hates Us All got me through, the perfect anthem for that day. to say it's shit just for the release day is bullshit, it was just a strange coincidence.

Ok, early Slayer (i.e. up to Seasons) is awesome, and probably better than early Testament (i.e. up to The Ritual).
However, post-1994, Testament fucking destroys Slayer. Low, Demonic, and The Gathering are all brilliant records, where as Divine Intervention, Diabolic In Musica, and God Hates Us All, are all painfully mediocre.
As for Paul rejoining Testament, its fucking great news, so long as Paul is back to his old, normal, ass-kicking self!
Listen folks. This is the best of both world here. Bostaph will slay in Testament, and Lombardo has always been the key to Slayer's success!
I can't wait for both bands new albums, 'cuz they are both gonna be fucking awesome!!!!

I totally felt the title GHUA on 9/11. I was suprised too,that the religious wing didn't try some stunt to get it pulled from the stores but glad I got it. It made 9/11 more bearable for me as well.

I must respectufully disagree with you. Divine Intervention, Diabolic and especially god hates us all are great albums. God hates us all can be compared to Slayer's greatest albums in my opinion. However, Testament's recent albums are great as well. Thankfully I love both bands and don't have to choose between them

Testament AND Slayer are both great bands. Why not just jam to both isntead of arguing? They are both very different musically, with Slayer coming from a Metal/Punk background and Testament being a strictly Metal outfit. I was lucky enough to see Testament when Bostaph was in November of 1992 at Harpo's in Detroit, and am looking forward to seeing them live again. I will say this, though: 5 years is too damn long between albums! Come on Testament, Anthrax took 5 years between Volume 8 and We've Come For You All and it didn't help them any.
