List of all rare Testament songs.

[flebbie]

I made a list of songs that didnt appear on their regular albums.

- Reign Of Terror (from the Trial By Fire single)
- Draw The line (Aerosmith-cover, from Signs Of Chaos)
- Sails Of Charon (Scorpions-cover, also from Signs Of Chaos)
- Rapid Fire (Judas Priest-cover, from Legends of Metal)
- Hammer Of The Gods (Japanese bonustrack for The Gathering)

Are there more rare songs around?? Other bonustracks or whatever?? And how about demo recordings? That would be very interesting to hear... but I never found one...

 

[Diluvial_bloodshed]

C'mon man, none of those songs are rare except Hammer of the Gods

- the live version of over the wall from Return to the Apocolyptic City EP

 

[flebbie]

they didnt appear on their regular albums...

and if you're such a smart ass, try to make the list longer instead of adding a live version of Over The Wall, thats not interesting at all

 

[Diluvial_bloodshed]

Burnt Offerings ( from the Legacy Demo )
Reign of Terror ( from the Legacy Demo )
Alone in the Dark ( from the Legacy Demo )
Raging Waters ( From the Legacy Demo )

better?

By The Way, They sound terrible with Souza

 

[flebbie]

Yes thats better. And I think I have to agree about Souza, I havent heard those demos, but his vocals on First Strike Still Deadly were awfull..

i had that EP, sold it back to the 2nd hand shop that i bought it from though.

I just discovered another rare song. Sewn Shut Eyes (unmastered mix) Its from "Hammered Volume 6".

This cd was added free with July 1999 Metal Hammer Magazine and was released before the official "The Gathering" release. I just found it on Kazaa and sounds a bit different then the original (for instance Chucks growls sound a bit rougher).

 

[Diluvial_bloodshed]

Okay, for that, I admit defeat

OK now its your turn again, there must be more interesting to find

 

[Diluvial_bloodshed]

All I could come up with is:

Time is Coming
Seek and Destroy ( Metallica cover )

 

[flebbie]

Time Is Coming?? Whats so special about it?? You got a rare version of it?

Seek and Destroy is of course not played by Testament, Chuck was the only Testament member...

 

[Diluvial_bloodshed]

It was only chuck? it was all of Metallica with chuck on vocals? seriously?

 

[flebbie]

This was the line-up:

Chuck Billy - Vocals
Jake E Lee - Guitar
Jimmy Bain - Bass
Aynsley Dunbar - Drums

The song appeared on a Metallica Tribute album called "A Metallic Assault".


Now tell me about "Time is Coming".......

Testament's version kicks ass! The Scorpions original and the Yngwie (?) Malmsteen version both sound like shit, but Testament really made it rock

I have to disagree. Dude. C'mon. This is a shredding
cover. Chuck's vocals sound fucking awesome x 2!
I"m sorry but you are mistaken.

I also like the original from the Scorpions, dont forget its a very old song, The Scorpions recorded it in 1975 if Im not mistaken! I agree the Malmsteen version is a bit weak.

 

[Lyndrodius]

Malmsteen's version is exactly the same as the Scorpion's version except he threw in random 2.4 second solos in stupid places.
