I love how you can actually hear the basslines in testament!

Testament,Heathen and Exodus... 3 of the greatest bands of ALL TIME!

ilove how at 5:00 Lee is talking about exodus, then 10 years later or so hes in exodus

Long life to classic Thrash Metal !!!

you know your drummer is a badass if he has the fingerless gloves

Testament's ''practice what you preach'' is freakin awesome in instrumental version. Good old days when metal was at its prime. I remember the hard n heavy series, they were full of cool interviews and the cartoons weren't bad either.

I had this video, back in the day.

Alex from Testament is a guitar god he never misses a note when live

jesus h. christ look how thin all these dudes were back then! great shit had it on vhs along with a bunch of other 'hard n' heavy' vids (i was chintzy so i taped em' off my friends) way back when. those are all long gone now so great somebody's posting these.

ahh those were the days alright, top notch bands. Makes you really wonder just were did it all go wrong! thanx for posting@

I keep coming back to this video just to watch Alex play the solo on the title track. 2:06 - 2:16 is one of my favourite guitar pieces from any metal band

Yeah, my left ear certainly likes it

The song's called Open The Grave, from their first album

Best Exodus Lineup !

I miss Louie Clemente on drums....

me too! I also had the sticker that was inside the vhs casing!

Heathen are kick ass!!!

havent seen this in Years thanks for uploading 1989 was an incredible year for METAL!

Nice S.O.D shirt!!!!

Holy shit! I am 18 again, I had this on VHS until the stupid vcr ripped the tape. Look how young they are.

@MrReaper117 the song is called "Open the grave" from the album "Breaking The Silence" ;)

PFf,fuckin sweet man,bay area thrash never gets old!

1989, Dude i wish i was alive back then

pretty fuckin cool to see the guitarist from Heathen say in 1989 his favorite band is Exodus,and now he is in Exodus.

haha,man i love it, the Exodus segment always cracks me up. hard n heavy thrash n speed metal special or whatever the hell it was called introduced me to a lot of bands when i was just getting into it. thank got for this tape.

WHOA, getting to see the actual EPICNESS of PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH being written is AMAZING :D:D:D

Look how fucking skinny Chuck Billy was......now i dont feel so bad!

Open The Grave from the album Breaking The Silence

bring thrash back??? it never left.

not to mention slayer and testament have shared 3 drummers and 1 affiliation Bostaph lombardo dette hoglan

They all have very funny hair. And they all play(ed) very fucking good music.

ha ha, yeah he does. Actually, I think they were at his studio, Pyramid Studios in Itaca NY. My old band actually recorded there many years after.

Heathen used to love headbanging

IIRC, its Open The Grave from the album Breaking The Silence... but its been a long time since I heard that album now...

Ya'll got to fight to bring thrash back, don't be sitting on your hands. Support the new & the old thrash, (yes there are new bands who play real thrash) as much as possible, tell your friends tell strangers and be proud.

Video tapes hard' heavy treasures

yeah its awesome, the song is "practice what you preach"

Killer bass tone

I actually hope so.

LOVE OVERKILL AND METAL CHURCH// LOVE POSSESSED// AND IN GERMANY ( KREATOR// DESTRUCTION// SODOM// AND TANKARD ( AKA) THE TEUTONIC BIG 4 \,,,/

1:53 Fucking METAL \m/

saneasylum679 - very good point.

Alex Skolnick is my idol !! lol =)

You can still get the Hard N Heavy series on DVD in a series of DVDs called Rockthology which come in volumes 1,2,3 etc. Each DVD has about 2 or 3 episodes of Hard N Heavy. This video was taken from volume 4 or 9, i can't remember because each DVD has shit loads of stuff. I don't know if you can get the Rockthology DVD's in the States or Europe, but we have em here in Australia. If you check out a site called EzyDVD you'll find em on there, they're pretty cheap.

Hahah! Alex is such a ledgend! I can really see his KISS influence he always fondly talked about haha. Ledgendary. These guys were amazing at Priest Feast, Testament have only just fucking begun!

Exodus own Testament! And I'm totally going to get some Heathen soon. But still Skolnick is a complete guitar god.

Yeah, exodus! fucking gang vocals!

@abel1010sfe Open the Grave from the album Breaking The Silence.

@Serpentrikeband dave mustaine was a jackson user from the start of megadeth until a world needs a hero.

hey right before the testament there was kingdom come. i just forget their song title showed here. can anyone help me what is it? thanks...

Awesome!! fucking greaaat!

fuckin metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Marcus666Sund Yeah it is, he played in Heathen before he joined Exodus (a bit late response but whatever :P)

@HaRrYRaMoNe90 Ha, thanks man. I have The New Order but I haven't listened to Practice What You Preach much. That song is badass though!

thats what they say..

He was on the first 2 albums,I don't know if he is still playing with them

They did, but he didn't want to tour anymore.

Does anyone know the model Alex is playing during the Practice solo? I’ve wondered that for decades

Alex the Producer looks like Jeff "Skunk" Baxter from Steely Dan/Doobie Bros.!!!

that is zetro in the exodus clips right?

yeah. it does. i cant find any thrashers at my school. my friends listen to punk and modern hottopic metal. sad.

@chebrofan and @headbanner666 its practice what you preach , sounds in the entire segment of testament , by the way one of the best songs with new order, over the wall and souls of black

thats cool man i have like... 2 other and me...

There is no solo at 2:36 ish

Because they've kept their heavy style unlike Metallica who prefered different sounds after "And Justice For All"

to bad he died i will miss his sick ass vocals

Not sure if the Exodus guys are drunk or high.

damn, beaten to it :P

simply becouse started something then bands like Testament followed

wats the name of the song of HEATHEN

what is song on 1.55?????

i cant find any high basket ball shoes locally haha.

ALSO DAVE MUSTAINE GOT HIS PAYBACK WITH THE ( THRASH GODZ " MEGADETH")

big 4 part 2 metallica exodus , testament overkill

ahh the days where everyone had to have a jackson

Where i found part 2 ? please!!

Guess there WAS blood upon the stage...

sound..?

whats the name of that first testament song?

Like it or not thrash left. Many of the bands dug their own graves by releasing their own "black albums", and thusly losing record sales and label support. Relegated to minor labels and releasing mediocre music wasn't the only issue, but it was a problem. So much so that most of the bands broke up. Many are reforming now, but it was touch and go for a while. Ironically Pantera got heavier and they started to go platinum, and then death metal had a surge in popularity too cause thrash wimped out.

@Stiratel95 It's Practice what you Preach. Killer right.

Why do all Thrash metal bands always have to remind me of my lack of hair and awesomeness?

WHAT IS THE EXODUS SONG AROUND 7:50?!? That solo/harmony sounds sick!

EXODUS RULES

just listen to howe chunky that bass is fuck. does any one no what settings id have make to get that testament tone?

5:11 - 5:17 Wtf?

0:20 NAME OF THE SONG PLEASE IT'S FUCKING EPIC LOL

haha oh yeah... bonded by blood!
