Eric Peterson is underrated as a riff master.

These videos with you just talking about the riff then playing them have been pretty good should do a couple more of these.

Got see Testament in Pensacola Florida in 1987 opening for Anthrax at the same theater that SRV recorded his last video Saenger Theater. My friend and I drove from Fort Walton Beach Florida in my 1970 Camaro and a Santa Rosa Sheriff Deputy sped past us so we got behind him on US 98 doing 100 mph with everyone moving out of the way. We got to Pensacola, which is about 40 miles from Fort Walton Beach, in about 20 minutes. I wasn't sure where the theater was so we saw 5 guys with leather and denim and long hair and figured they were going to the show. We pulled over and asked them where the Saeger was and they told us. As we pulled away we realized that the 5 guys were Testament. I raced around the block to catch them again but they were gone. Show was spectacular.

I saw testament live last year. One of the absolute best shows I've ever been to in my 24 years of existence. I also got to meet chuck before the show and he was the nicest dude

I wish more bands would do "rushed" albums like Testament. Great collection of riffs, loved the video.

SOOOO many killer riffs. They went a bit sideways there with Souls of Black and the Ritual but the rest of their catalogue is stellar! Nice job as usual Lamb

I know it's not quite as thrashy, but Electric Crown will always be my favorite Testament song. The solo has to be my favorite guitar solo of all time!

I like how the old intro came back for the past couple of videos. And I can’t get enough of Ollie.

They’ve been on an absolute rampage since they came back with Formation of Damnation. Testament is still kicking ass, and the new Exodus album should rip everyone’s head off next year. Great time to be alive for thrash heads.

This series is great and i could watch these for hours

I just want to say that I really enjoy watching your videos and that you are one of my biggest inspirations to keep playing guitar. I love all your covers! Keep up the good work.

Testament! I’ve seen them in concert on four occasions. They have never disappointed. Your talent and appreciation of thrash is remarkable.

Testament fkn RULE!

You are such a great guitar player, everything sounds so clean.

The last band I saw on tour with Exodus and Death Angel, before everything stops. Amazing video man, those riffs!!!

Formation is such a great album. I think For The Glory Of has to be one of my favourite album openers ever. Also, these videos really make me regret selling my VMNT some years ago haha. Fantastic guitar although I’m more than happy with my current collection. Fab video as always! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Awesome playing and great selection of riffs! Good to see Testament getting some recognition. They have so many cool riffs you could do many more videos like this.

This is such a cool video. I’ve only got into Testament on the past 6-12 months so haven’t listened in depth to everything but I have listened to most of their albums. Some riffs that really stick out to me that kind of popped out head of shoulders above the barrage of metal I was listening is; Children of the Next Level (Titans of Creation album) - the two interlude riffs, heavy one at 2:31 which moves into octave riff at 2:53 Eyes of Wrath (The Gathering album) - outro riff that starts at 3:58 3 Days in Darkness (The Gathering album) - Octave riff with vocal chants at 1:35 I know these are from recent albums, I love their earlier stuff but I find these riffs so catchy

I love your attentive parrot. Fine playing. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes 😊

Exodus then Testament, it has been a good week. Keep the vids coming, awesome tone.

I saw them live a few years ago and they killed it 🤘🤘 Epic band

Loving the classic riffs mate !!! Keep thrashing. 🤘🤘

Great riffs bro! I always loved Testament, Alex is a madman!! To this day I still can't listen to the tune Greenhouse effect without cranking the volume so loud my neighbors can hear it!! 🎸🎸👍

My favourite riff is the main/verse riff from Burnt Offerings

Netflix shit the bed by not casting you as Geralt of Rivia. Thanks for all the quality content, one of my favorite youtube channels. Hail from Newfoundland!

Love these videos dude, great riffs! I'd love to have heard some riffs from The Gathering, possibly one of my favourites!

This was really cool! Alex Skolnick is a Masterful Guitarist. Probably one of my all time favorite soloist. The Bird looked like it was into it too! Cheers!

What a trip I thought that bird was fake. All of a sudden it started moving! 😲

Great to see you do Testament, epic band!! For many it's Metallica, Megadeth then Testament but for me it's the exact reverse, hugely underrated with every member a beast on their respective instruments. Skolnick is a virtuoso and I love their early stuff but must admit I'm just as keen on Demonic and The Gathering when he was away as well, I love the more heavy melodic style and Chuck getting into some growling! Would love to see a top 10 for the mighty Priest at some stage as I know you've done a bit thier stuff before. \m/

Great playing man and damn what a tone

Great videos. Ollie is looking good too!

Testament has written some badass riffs. I subcribed to your channel,learned about you through ola england,dude,you can shred,glad I subcribed,and I'm a drummer.🤘🤘🤘🤘

That tone is CRUSHING! Testament is my fav. heavy band and James Murphy was my fav guitarist. The Low album kills.

Fantastic channel brother, keep it up

It's great to hear someone talking about Testament. These guys definitely deserve more attention than they've gotten over the years. I love the way Skolnick and Peterson write their guitar riffs, they just seem a little more melodic to me. And Chuck Billy is the best vocalist out of all the thrash metal bands of time...in my opinion anyways. Great video!

I can die for that guitar

I hope that you'll do a second part to this, as I'd love for you to play some songs from Souls of black, Practice what you preach and some of there other albums

Nice picks from of my all time favorite thrash metal bands! Disciples Of The Watch is pretty much my favorite track from Testament. The riffing in that is killer and the solo is magnificent. And of course The New Order is my favorite album. First one I bought on vinyl back in '93 for $5.00 U.S. brand new at a privately owned record store. Those were the days. lol

Testament is obviously criminally underrated. But, nice series going on mate!

Very cool and the tabs are appreciated!

Cool as always

Fantastic 👍

Thanks for doing this video, Testament is so underrated...I think Brotherhood of the Snake is hands down their best album.

Testament is and always has been my all time favorite Band! Got to see them with Annihilator back in the day. Saw them in the Low tour and saw them with Forbidden in '96 at the House of Blues in Chicago. This was between Low and Demonic and The Gathering James Murphy was in the band during that time, Forbidden was touring for Distortion. Awesome show! I was front row the whole time head banging and going hoarse from shouting the lyrics and the coolest moment for me was as Chuck Billy was saying good night to the crowd, James Murphy walked over, grabbed my hand and gave me his guitar pick. Cool memory.

I love Testament. I saw them live 5 times in the early nineties. I got all of their autographs on the insert of my “The New Order” cassette tape. I would love it if you’d do a lesson on how to play “Trial By Fire”. I still love that song.

I love how your videos feel like you're my bud and we're hanging out in your basement jamming. Cheers!

Henchmen ride!!! Love it

They talk about the process of making Brotherhood of the Snake as if to excuse its quality for being subpar, but it is an unbelievably good album. So many different musical ideas and concepts, the riffs, the solos, GENE HOGLAN, its almost too much if that were possible. The transcendent bliss of Stronghold and Neptune Spear's solos or the teeth-clenching riffs of The Number Game or Centuries of Suffering are highlights, as well as the bluesy harmony in Black Jack (really like that part!). I feel so blessed to have discovered Testament. One of my absolute favorite bands and since Low they haven't put out a record I don't love.

Awesome. Love testament. Very underrated band.

I wish more bands would rush and album like Brotherhood of the Snake. That’s one of my favorite albums probably in the last 8 years

Nice selection of amps mate! I have a Mesa, Marshall, and looking to add a 5150. You recording direct, explains why your bird is chilling out there!

Good vid. Surprised that there was nothing off of Practice what you preach, such an amazing album. Testament does sound better than ever now. The addition of Steve DiGeorgio and Gene Hoglan really lay down a fantastic rhythm section. Testament is a damn super group now.

I’m totally digging Symptoms lately

Cool mate! Testament have just the best riffs

Epic band. Well played :D

🤘🎸💕Love Testament💕🎸🤘Well done Lambchopper, Wicked Disciple named half by „Discples of the Watch“ - „The Ritual“ is far underrated

Daamn nice tone

Amazing guitar work on Chasing Fear from the Low album!

Always been a thrash fan but mainly anthrax and slayer with a bit if exodus, then i heard testament over the wall and it blew my mind, instant fan

damn that guitar tone though

good to see testament getting the attention. early exodus with souza has awesome riffs too.

Practice What You Preach is one of their best mixed albums I think.

Saw these guys with exodus and death angel playing a tiny boxing club live in March, gig was absolutely insane; blew metallica out of the water

Ni idea que dice, pero aguante Testament y LambChopper.

Fuck that brought back some memories - my band used to rehearse in the same studio complex as Testament in Oakland California (an old brothel in China town) in the early nineties and damn they were so loud lol - but it was great hearing the tracks for Practice what you Preach and the New Order coming through our walls when we weren't playing - not to mention they were all super cool dudes - other than Louie - he was always kind of a dick but what can ya do. Keep up the killer vids man!

Testament!Such a talented band of musicians Petersen Schonick Di Giorgio Mr. Geene Hoagland of course Mr. Chuck Billy!These guys definitely are and should be considered one of the big four.Man my metal brother you sure have some guitar skills. I’m sure you’re in a band if not you should probably get in one. Keep in Metal alive!!

hell ya man

Would love to see Kreator next!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Not one single riff from Souls of black or Practice😱 Those albums are epic and a statement of what Testament is all about! Hope you will do another Testament video👍🏻

YOOO chop chop , can we get a part 2 to this video with 'Envy Life' from the Practice album ? Good stuff as always.

That More than meets the eye chorus riffs sounds like that riff off Domination by Pantera. Sick riffs. Heavy and sharp like a Japanese katana

Hell yeah I love testament

Alex Skolnik is one of the best metal guitarists. He adds some really cool elements from other genres while most only include blues stuff

Underrated band, the legacy is one of the greatest thrash metal albums ever

Love the parrot

Love Testament! Saw them at First Avenue in Minneapolis on the “Preach” tour with Nuclear Assault and Savatage. Killer shows in those small clubs. Elbows and smiles all around in the pit!. High fiving Chuck from the barricade! Alex was the consummate performer: So focused!

Alex Skolnic - amazing guitarist!

Hell yeah dude. You're badass! I love Testament. I love thrash metal. Death Angel is a killer thrash metal band. Do you ever listen or play any of their music. I would like to hear that.

Where was Return to Serenity!!?? Love all those riffs thought!!!

Love the content and playing.skolnick / Peterson killer

Insta-thumb up before it even started.

5:57 The parrot: "yeah, yeah, yeah"

such an aggressive tone

There is nothing more to say, only this: Eric Petersen is a perfect thrash-riff generator machine, and it is true that is underrated! In addition to the albums from the past, the one I love more is 'The Formation Of Damnation': it is damned brutal and precise in all edges, also if there is Paul Bostaph instead Louie Clemente. Thanks to Testament and you LambChopper678 to keep the flame alive.

Great playing man where did you get the tshirt ?

Skolnik is a virtuoso and Peterson is awesome also wish he got more credit his playing well deserved

If I remember right from something Alex said in passing, there's some songs on the more recent albums going back to Dark Roots of Earth where he and Eric are in different tunings on the same songs. I wish I could give specifics or examples but if anyone out there knows for sure, please let us all know!

The parrot 🤘🏻😁

I love everything on New World Order. Also the tone they have on that album is pure thrash.

Would love to see Nightmare.

Coroner? So many riffs. Tommy rules.

Say what you will about the albums Demonic, Low and The Gathering, but I think those albums are stellar. The more death metal focused vocals fit really well, especially on tracks like Demonic Refusal and Riding the Snake

Dont know if you remember, but i had ask for this in my comment on the Exodus riffs video. The tone you're using is very nice. That pet will certainlly turn metalhead! I was expecting riffs from "practice" and "souls" as well. Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

Death Angel next please 🤘🏻🤘🏻

What’s your parrot’s favorite riff? 😝🤘

Anyone else waiting for the parrot to start singing testament riffs?

Nothing from „Practice What You Preach”?

Megadeth special?

Idk what to call it but Eric and Alex use a triplet sounding picking technique in the rhythm in a lot of their songs and it gives such a cool dynamic to metal rhythm

Nothing from Practice What You Preach or the next few albums?
