Rappers React To Testament "D.N.R"!!! (Do Not Resuscitate)

[@MrMcSmack]

I think Testament has to this day, the most loyal fanbase of all the thrash bands.

[@thunderspike1892]

James Murphy and Eric Peterson on guitars, Steve Di Giorgio on bass, Chuck Billy vocals and Dave Lombardo on drums. Check out Careful What You Wish For from the same album and Murky Waters from the Demonic album.

[@tubelious]

Chuck's vox on Demonic are friggin' monstrous!

[@Droogie128]

James Murphy is criminally underrated. He's a technical genius, but still has incredible groove.

[@michaelbeaver9180]

I freaking love Testament

[@billwicketvogel1787]

Testament should be in the Big 4

[@tuffs4it]

Meh! They've retained their dignity by not being part of a lame, marketing gimmick thus far, why should they debase themselves?

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Hell yeah! More TestAmenT! This whole album is amazing, have you guys ever done a TestAmenT ballad? I'd suggest "Trail Of Tears" as a good ballad to start with, Chuck Billy is a Native American so this song packs a heavy emotional punch (and the guitar solo is beautiful). Definitely one of my favorite TestAmenT songs, so I know you guys will love it too! Great reaction as usual guys! 🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@athenawiltfong5717]

Don't forget The Legacy off the Souls of Black album. That also is a badass album.

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

Legends Dave Lombardo and James Murphy on this album.

[@nicksanfilippo9513]

This song and album are my most played Testament music. They are also my favorite thrash band and was the first metal band i ever heard. Practice What YOu Preach was my first into to Metal

[@aeronomer8389]

Definitely one of my favorite thrash songs

[@PML78]

7:15 bro is like... HOW DO U? madness is going down below 🤣😂😆... feel the HEAVY METAL 🤘🏽😎

[@DatMetalBoi75]

When I saw Testament in 2022, they played this song. It was especially awesome because Dave Lombardo was on drums that tour (he played on the record originally)

[@dvaderwasframed]

A little Chuck Billy get you through the night. Need to check out some Nuclear Assult, Sacred Reich and Death Angel

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Now we're talking! I'm a huge Thrash Metal Head, soo many amazing old school and modern thrash bands out there! Have you heard Atrophy's new album yet? Badass album front to back! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@donovanbriggs3650]

Exodus Metal Church Overkill You'll love them

[@guitaroffthecuff-davids5528]

I absolutely love watching my fave songs with y'all. You are both awesome. Funny, chill, enthusiastic, smart - to just name a few characteristics you both have. I have one question. How on Earth does Smoke Dog know so much? When y'all do the trivia he is always off the chain! Somkey - you need to go on Jeopardy or something. Stay awesome my dudes.

[@joshtowe95]

Going to see Testament and Kreator live here in Vegas in Sept!

[@metalman3987]

Honestly testament is one of my favorite bands, this whole album is one of the cleanest recordings I've ever heard. Fall of sipledome is one of this you gotta check out

[@kristaspecht]

Morning guys! That was so good! Loved all of it! Those drums tho!!❤️ I haven't been listening to thrash in a minute now I want to revisit some more thrash I loved as a youth!💯🤓

[@leviathon18]

This albums production and over all sound is so good

[@timmay587]

In my music setlist I have the Big 4 plus Testament so it's named" The Big 5"

[@timmay587]

Sorry My bad" playlist"

I have Exodus but Testament comes close

[@johnmartin9854]

The Super 7 with Testament, Exodus and Overkill

[@shmick6079]

Best Testament era

[@inkubuzz]

This song and True Believer got.me into Testament... I was living under a rock before that.

[@wmhawgfan]

The Gathering, this entire album is a masterpiece

[@Crom64]

Testament is almost as old as I am. love it. I used to think "Over the Wall" was Slayer. my bad Testament

[@solarsailcraft]

Testament > Anthrax.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

100% TestAmenT got robbed by not being chosen to be in the Big 4, there's no comparison between TestAmenT and Anthrax, TestAmenT wins every time!

[@PML78]

I would love TESTAMENT in the big 4... but... guys in Anthrax were all good Freinds with the other 3 so... TESTAMENT do their Thang 🤘🏽😎

[@skullionchild]

I’m conflicted. I love them both equally for different reasons.

[@TheScorpion1987]

Exodus, Overkill, Dark Angel....

[@drew65sep]

Uh...it IS very much possible to like BOTH bands...jus sayin. Personally, if there had been one more band worthy enough to be added to the Big Four...thus making such the Big Five, I gotta go with Overkill by the thinnest of hairs over Testament. But, that's just me. I'm a huge fan of both.

[@Karaya.2014]

This album is fire!!

[@mattjohn4731]

Thrash confession: I actually was late and missed Testament opening for Slayer and Megadeth. The silver lining was I didn't know their stuff but knew all of the others. They did Seasons and Rust In Peace, as I recall. War Ensemble vs Holy Wars! Holy crap we got thrashed🤘🏴‍☠️🤘🎸🤘🥁🤘💥🤘

[@davidwatts1295]

Awesome Acid Bath shirt. My buddy's sister used to be married to Dex

[@msfoodiediva]

Luv the rift. Great way to wake up on Sunday. Not sure about the lead singers voice but i could b down for more

[@mattjohn4731]

Kreator is one of the world's great thrash bands too 🤘💥

[@freemanjohn72]

The great dave lombardo from slayer on drums🤘🤘🤘technically a member from one of the big 4 is on this album 🤘🤘

[@jeortiz30]

Yesssss!

[@brettanomyces7077]

I got The Gathering CD in my deck right now. This whole album is so damn heavy. Chuck Billy does some Death Metal vocals on this album as well, James ain't doing that. James Murphy from Obituary is on this album.

[@mp1335]

If we're gonna talk about singing and testament... you guys should check out "alone in the dark" by testament. That is quality right there. Thrash with melody as well.

[@-Heavy-]

Grar song!I love Testament!!Exodus and Overkill are next!!!

[@drew65sep]

OG Thrash/Speed Metal godz...been a fan since the whole scene blew up in the early 80's.

[@fhermeneses7999]

Testament.. The real voice of the thrash metal 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@CompendiumVril]

One thing's for sure...in terms of technical/instrumental prowess alone, Testament blows the "big four" outta the water.

[@ericsaculla8501]

My favorite Testament album! Check out the band Seven Spires when you can. They dropped a new song a few weeks ago called Architects of Creation and it’s amazing.

[@sebastienlavoie9334]

You guys have to react to some other songs by Testament, More Than Meets The Eyes, Souls Of Black, John Doe, Low, Trail Of Tears, Return To Serenity, Practice What You Preach, The Ballad, Electric Crown

[@twilightsithstephenbutler9746]

try More Than Meets The Eye by Testament

[@michaelbeaver9180]

Dude one of my favorites, that song is straight FIRE

[@davidmassey6332]

Acid Bath shirt! Def check out ‘Practice What You Preach’ and ‘Children of the next level’

[@mercedogre]

i like the earlier time release for the day, let's do that from now on....ok? okay its settled.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Same, I prefer this time. It drops at midnight here in California.

[@beefy1728]

This is "new" Testament. They changed their sound, became more heavy and fused thrash metal with death metal after their album "The Ritual" in 1992. This album is "The Gathering", and it's 🔥🔥🔥. It features a complete all-star line-up of musicians who play together on this one album only (unfortunately 😂). Some of them include: James Murphy - Guitarist (bands include Death, Testament, Obituary, Cancer, Disincarnate) Steve Di Giorgio - Bass (bands include Sadus, Autopsy, Death, Control Denied, Testament, Dragonlord, Iced Earth, Vintersorg, Artension, Takayoshi Ohmura, Sebastian Bach etc.) Dave Lombardo - Drums (bands include Slayer, Grip Inc., Fantômas, Testament, Philm, Suicidal Tendencies) The first five songs on this album are epic: 1. DNR 2. Down For Life 3. Eyes of Wrath 4. True Believer 5. 3 Days in Darkness I highly recommend reacting to those songs (except DNR obviously).

Public Enemy - "Harder Than You Think" (lyric breakdown) Michael Franti and Spearhead - "Good To Be Alive Today" (lyric breakdown)

[@mattjohn4731]

💯💯💯💯💯 also dig Franti's old act Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy🎤💥

[@dvaderwasframed]

Is that a hot sauce bottle behind you? Kinda looks like Melinda’s Garlic Habanero , is it?

[@lunixcaptain]

Most of the Demonic album is death metal and it's beautiful. The Burning Times is clutch.

[@optimoprimus4608]

Y'alls next song should be, Night of the Witch, it's off their 2020 album, Titans of Creation. They're still kicking ass.🤘😖🤘

If there was a big five Testament Could be in the conversation

I like how SmokeDogg says... GETTING OUT YOUR AGGRESSION TO THE THRASH 🤘🏽😎... I need a shirt with a badass pic 😈

Testament, Exodus, Overkill, Nuclear Assault...

[@nudegamer6496]

Several things. 1st - great reaction video as always dudes; 2nd - i agree that the order of the "Big-4" is according to individual preference; 3rd - many of us We-Us Metal-ers put Slayer ABOVE Metallica in the 'Big-4'; 4th - IF Testament (OR Overkill) were to replace one of the 'Big-4' (Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica), then EITHER Megadeth or Metallica would be replaced. 5th - as far as the hierarchy of the top bands just below the 'Big-4', it would be between Testament, Overkill, and Flotsam and Jetsam; 6th - Obituary WOULDN'T come into consideration, simply because Obituary is a Death Metal band and NOT a Thrash Metal band. But that aside, again great reaction video as always dudes.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

😳😱😁

[@daktaylor]

Obituary is death metal.

[@Lewphi]

I used to be in a band as the vocalist, and we were often compared to testament, I can see why, we did sound a lot like them. but life goes on and the band dissolved. such a shame.

[@brettmanus7904]

Testament is the BEST thrash band. The combination of their music, songwriting, vocals and talent. They are better. That doesn't mean they aren't good though. D. N. R. was written because it was singer Chuck Billy's father's wishes.

[@TheAsphyx666]

One of the most aggressive, unrelenting, in your face thrash songs ever. Lombardo's drumming is insane. If you dig this, check out The Haunted's "Bury Your Dead"...

[@redcyco213]

I think Overkill should be in there.

[@marcedhk]

Definitely not talking about ending yourself, but rather that if he gets ended don’t try to bring him back

[@scottshaffer7296]

Don't forget overkill

[@1BigBroncosFan]

Testament didn’t show up on the scene several years after it had already been established. They are NOT part of the big four! Anthrax were one of the original thrash bands in the East! They are most definitely part of the big four!

[@ShanLH5]

This has nothing to do with testament lol… Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms here! 😊💕

[@jodyvalverde5057]

Back in the days (80's) thrash it necessarily wasn't a competition, it was a movement yes there was or is a big four but in my opinion I think it's based on how they came out imo Of course Metallica came out first, and then spawned Megadeth, etc of course slayer was on top of thier game and though every one wants to give flack to anthrax (like always) they were the ones not taking everything so serious So generally speaking thrash actually goes in order of the time they came out , so you could have big four for people who don't know or you could have big twelve for people who do ( exodus, testament, kreator, sacred Reich and so fourth, hence the time period they came out 🤷

[@beefy1728]

Try the album "Souls of Black" by Testament. Dark, heavy, sharp, thrashy, and a mature sound comparatively to how Metallica's "Master of Puppets" is to "Kill 'em All". Recommend: 4. "Souls of Black" 5. "Absence of Light" 7. "Malpractice" 9. "The Legacy" I'm sorry guys but reacting to the song "The Legacy" on Souls of Black is an absolute must. We haven't lived life if you haven't reacted to that one. Fo sho. 😏

[@efakter1]

I’ve always said that Testament needs to replace Anthrax in the big four. I like anthrax but they’re just not thrash metal. When you buy a Testament album, you know what you’re gonna get. Anthrax you just don’t know what to expect from them. But I like listening to it, but they’re not big for material. But you guys definitely need to do more Testament I mean the song so far that you’ve reacted to have been fire. And it just gets better from there, especially when you go to their debut album and go in order. Anyways, awesome reaction you guys I’m glad you realizing Testament is for real because they’re one of my favorites Peace out ✌🏻

[@HunterS4711]

listen to The Way It Is by Sacred Reich
