Bad, you never heard of Testament? Were you being sarcastic?

Chuck Billy and Alex Skolnick, brother!!! I think that they had the guitar player from the band Death at one time.

At one time they were thought of as a Metallica rip-off. Chuck sounded very similar to Hetfield...early-mid 80's of course.

Now... Testament has added a little more drive to their music and have a much heavier, but cleaner sound than Metallica.<br>80's Testament<br><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CYidfcYh0C4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CYidfcYh0C4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br>Testament 90's<br><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GLPuF7yDDpg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GLPuF7yDDpg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br> Testament now<br><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JU1FzbvjQLY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JU1FzbvjQLY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

FYI - I met Chuck Billy at Vintage Vinyl in Edison, NJ and the dude was like 6'10"!

Also...Kirk Hammitt couldn't tune Alex Skolnick's guitar...lol.
