I got my pops into Testament

[Alteredmindeath]

My dad a long time rock n roll fan, 60 years old, and still rocking. I got him Testament greatest hits album and he loved it. Then I told him to get The Legacy and he got it and loves it. He said Testament is under-rated and should deserve more praise from the scene. Just thought I would share a cool story. -AMD

How cool is that! A person with a taste will always appreciate good music.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Definitely! He has really started to embrace thrash music.

 

[one man]

Never too late for that. BTW my old man's a big fan of the Ritual.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Yeah we're fired up about the new album. Wondering what they will do about the current drummer situation.

 

[one man]

From what Chuck said in the latest interview it seems they're approaching Gene, which is not a big surprise. Would be cool to see him stay in the band for a couple of years for the benefit of everybody concerned. He doesn't, however, seem to be looking for a permanent job these days.

Didn't Gene complain about Testament when he was in for the Demonic era?

 

[one man]

Well that was 15 years ago. He wouldn't have agreed to do the tour if it had been something serious. If he stays - I hope they'll use some of his lyrical talents (Time Does Not Heal has some of the best lyrics in thrash) and perhaps let him compose a song or two in the future.

I really hope Gene joins, that would really add fodder to Testament as a touring attraction.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Gene is a great drummer, but he never stays in the same band for too long.

Gene is a great drummer, but he never stays in the same band for too long.

funny how Death Angel, the band that really launched him in metal, is missing from that list...

 

[redfly]

Interesting indeed,and why single out live next to Testament? He played on Demonic.
