I've followed this particular artist since they formed in '95. You people have to understand, Steve Schrippa had just been kicked out of Metallica when he decided to launch Testament. If you weren't part of the midwest party scene, you missed it. Some of the best power metal comes from the midwest. Testament, Metallica, megadeth, slayer, exodus, warbringer, gorguts.

[@bentheguitarlord8391]

Bruh there was never a “Steve Schrippa” in Metallica. And Testament certainly was not formed in 95’. The Legacy was released in 87’

[@marcusvinicius4116]

clássico.

[@pulp735]

I'm 34 years old and I'm sorry, the 80s bands were just...better than today's bands. Such a better grasp of songwriting, melody, dynamics, and overall musicianship. Don't get me wrong there's some incredibly talented metal bands that have come since then, but the best metal came from the 80s, hands down!! Social media addiction has destroyed most people's brains, so they can't focus enough to compose music like this...

[@waiz0231]

Tool, Opeth, Gojira, Trivium, The agonist, Unearth Just saiying

[@pulp735]

Didn't say there wasn't talent. Though I will say Trivium and Unearth got NOTHING on Testament IMO. Their songs are chaos. Arrangements all over the place. Very little structure. The guys can play but they struggle with the writing aspect. I actually saw Unearth open for Testament like back in '08. Unearth was good, but kinda started to sound repetitive and the lack of song structure was really starting to grate. Then Testament came on and blew them completely off the stage. Unearth's guitar players were good, but Alex Skolnick was just in a different league. Not even close...

[@pulp735]

One thing I will give you is that the drum/bass playing improved generally from the 80s. See your examples. Lou Clemente was fast but he just wasn't all that creative behind the kit. Once Testament got John Tempesta and then Lombardo and now Hoglan it was all over though!
