TOP 10 TESTAMENT RIFFS

[@VERMILIONGOD]

What's next, guys?

[@kyleisreal_tv]

Toxik because they are underrated af

[@PedroPaes2862]

Autopsy. Underrated early death metal band.

[@rockandmetal2955]

Fit for an autopsy or dream theater, maybe?

[@enzorodrigues9735]

Malevolence?

[@ЖандосАубакиров-р9н]

Fear Factory

[@Simotin]

Finally some old school stuff. Testament really nails it on so many level, especially on the first two albums. It's violent and energetic without sacrificing any melodic aspect or other other emotions. Peterson might be one of the greatest rhythm guitarists in the scene, ever, and don't even get me started on Skoknick...

[@veerakirby2722]

Absolutely. Those first 2 are the shit! I met Alex once and let him know as well 😂

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

When I first heard Burnt Offerings I thought the harmonized riff was wild and still is! Something so unusual sounding yet so catchy. Eerie Inhabitants is a banger as well.

[@anothername2730]

They are right up there with the “Big 4” of thrash, even better in some regards.

[@systematic11]

@@Cthulhu_Awaken that harmony riff is out of control. Probably my favorite of theirs. Something about it is so majestic, yet off-putting. They aced it.

[@franco1926]

@@anothername2730 I would put them in the big 4 over Megadeth.

Im a Testament fan from way back! I've meet Alex skolnick he's a real class act ! He's very intelligent and friendly! Meet him Here in Hawaii. He's was on his morning run an he passed me . I Instantly turned and called out his name. He stopped with a surprised look on his face. We stood and talked for about ten minutes on the side walk and the he went back to his run!

[@jasons.3921]

I agree..met Alex when I was 19 and saw him again 25 years later. He was kind and patient at both times.

[@dvalentino885]

That's Class! And shows huge respect for fans, and stopped to give his time and attention it's amazing 👍 Top man , diamond geezer 👍

[@therisendead7]

I bought The New Order when I was 15 and freaking loved it. Thanks for reminding me of how great Testament's riffs are...time to go learn some 🤘

[@JudgeDrey]

I was about 14 I think. Was totally blown away. Probably what turned me on the most about wanting to play guitar.

[@vikingguitar]

Exceptional tone choice here. The low gain really let’s the picking articulation come through. Great playing!

[@DukeofNukem98]

Never seen someone who’s music taste aligns so perfectly with mine. Been watching for a few years now keep it up man

[@Bdizzle-tm6bt]

Man forgot how sick testament are, henchmen ride is my favorite riff and song by them

[@KrilleCaveman]

I love their riffs so catchy and heavy, great video man

[@jasons.3921]

Just hearing these riffs reminds me of some great times in my younger life. How I loved going to the shows and getting close to the stage, only to have my ears blown off. Eric Peterson is a great rhythm guitarist and his compositions are not easily played. Well done and thanks for the vid.

[@dragroch5536]

Legion of the Dead is one of my favourite songs ever and this video got us to hear the riff more isolated in the mix. I can just feel the anger and energy in that riff

[@helljumper115]

God I love Eric Peterson his riffs are amazing!

[@NoCantsAllowed]

[@pauliewalnuts2072]

One of my favorite bands of all time! There songs never fail 🤘

[@JudgeDrey]

I remember the first time I had to play with a chewed up finger tip. Tried New Skin Liquid Band-Ade and I was ready to fly! It only wore off after 2+ hours of shredding. lol

[@standepain]

Always loved the harmonizing guitar is Ride the Snake right before the main riff kicks in. Gathering is such a underrated album, glad to see you threw a few in here.

[@mrshaneyt43]

I’ve never listened to Testament but seem to have a lamb of God kind of feel to them . Pretty awesome stuff . Definitely going to have to check them out some more . Also hope your well . Those trousers are amazing 🤩

[@SchwartzerAdler]

Why is Anthrax considered one of the Big4 when there's Testament?

[@allandnothing5987]

Exactly..Testament is legions better than Anthrax

[@DimaNSK-vy4br]

Because Anthrax is a more commercially successful thrash metal band than Testament. That's why there's a big four.

[@fixi2255]

@@DimaNSK-vy4br testament has 2,8 million monthly listeners while anthrax has 1,2 million

[@DimaNSK-vy4br]

@@fixi2255 Genius, it's not measured by the number of plays on music services, but by the number of albums sold. Apparently Anthrax sold more albums than Testament.

[@ToxicWaltz92]

That's so f*****g great! Testament should've been in the big 4, imo!

[@mylovesongs2429]

even Hetfield told that little kid he got interviewed by that both Testament and Exodus shoulda been on the big 4 tour.

Ahhh TestamenT The band from the Big FIVE of Thrash. I NEVER forget the first time I ever heard Testament's WALL OF DISTORTION sound on The New Order. It was like being slapped in the fucking face! Then hearing the insane riffs and harmonies and leads on The Legacy. OMG. Saw them open for Megadeth and Slayer, and Testament were the ones too loud for the arena. Lol. Anyways, great job!

[@ericw.9907]

So fucking cool. I could watch this shit all day

This was one hell of a band but overlooked by the big 4 . In many ways they were better . Listen to some of these riffs

Oh hell yeah!

[@ИлистыйПрыгун-д1р]

Щас будет оочень многим неприятная мысль, но чисто по интересным гитарным приемам и находкам, композиторским решениям в сочетании с техническими аспектами, насколько я слышу, тестамент металике под зад дать вполне способен был
