One of the things I love about James Murphy is that he WILL LEARN the original solo and add just a few distinct little bits that are his own. He has that kind of level of respect for the original composer. He also covered all of Skolnick's solos rather admirably to triumphantly. He is truly the most underrated guitarist in thrash/metal.

I am a die hard Uli Roth fan . This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard . He puts yngwies cover of the song to shame. And he's not relying on distortion and overdrive like yngwie does either, clean like Uli . New respect for this band

@chickenbeek Жыл бұрын

Resounding an reinforced respect for this band. Heard this for the first time in my car on the way to work. Ancient Scorps with Uli probably the best to ever do it fo me, also a fan of Testament since the 80's. And Yngwie before all of them in fact. Still i winced at every key moment.prior to every key moment in this tune, like how are they going to pull this next part off, well epically apparently. Uli is god.

@YngtchieMusic Жыл бұрын

What are you talking about? The guitar tones are even more distorted than on Yngwie's version.

@andyconnrock 7 ай бұрын

@@YngtchieMusic I agree. Got some serious distortion. However, I think what @birddog8140 meant was that, even though this cover is very distorted, Yngwie's cover wasn't up to snuff, so to speak. Testament's guitarists played it cleaner (not in amp tone, but how good they played it) Playing something "clean" in this context (correct me if I am wrong) means playing it well and with good technique.

I don't think that Alex was involved in the recording of this song. Alex left Testament in 1992, a couple years before the band recorded Low. I think that this cover song here was an outtake from the Low recording sessions. But just imagine Alex doing the solos in this one. James Murphy did a fantastic job here, but Alex Skolnick woulda turned those solos into something magical, for sure!!!!
