Dude, Testament were true bay-area rollers man...Thrash Metal Heavyweights...y not them instead of Slipknot
agree with you. Back by Eric Peterson palm muting fury, Alex Scholnick solos are awesome, unique and uncopied. Chuck Billy vocal rules...
I don't think a lot can cover them.....ke ke ke....too difficult. Not much awesome solos in bands today ...maybe a short spurt here and there and mostly chromatic type or fast non melodic sturcture out of musical consonance....eekks!
Lagi worst most bands today...(better don't say name) is just fast and complex palm mutting riffing! Difficult though but unexciting and when the crunch comes for the solo..anti-climax.
The past was all both riffing and awesome solos!
