en tis te merken ze staan overal
Vooral Legacy en Live @ Dynamo draai ik echt vaak, geweldig, brute live-band ook

Die live CD "alive at the fillmore" is ook super!

zelfs de acoustische versies van 3 nummers die er als bonus opstaan zijn geweldig!

Urutsikidoji of iets dergelijks ja. Dikke vette bassolo

Na al een hele tijd alleen het eerst nummer van the Gathering (DNR) op mp3 en Low op CD te hebben, nu maar the Gathering helemaal gedownload en jezus wat beukt dit zeg. Echt ongelooflijk! Maar DNR blijft denk ik m'n favoriete nummer; die aggressie

gaaf!

Hmm..wat Testament betreft, ben ik vooral liefhebber van het latere werk, van "Low". "Demonic", "The Gathering" en "First strike still deadly" zijn geweldige platen. Heb bijna alles van ze, inclusief de oude platen, maar ik luister er weinig naar. Productioneel vind ik ze allemaal niet even geslaagd

testament is geweldig.
Mijn favorite plaat blijft toch new world order.. alhoewel the legacy, demonic, en souls of black ook gaaf zijn
Ik heb iig weer zin om ze volgend jaar ergens te zien

Mijn hoogtepunten waren Gamma ray en ASSASSIN

Former SLAYER Drummer PAUL BOSTAPH Joins TESTAMENT - Feb. 15, 2004

Former SLAYER/SYSTEMATIC drummer Paul Bostaph has officially joined TESTAMENT, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

The band, whose most recent drummer, Jon Allen (SADUS), reportedly left the group over an "extremely fragile and urgent family situation" involving the health of his 11-year-old daughter, are currently rehearsing with Bostaph for their upcoming live shows in March, including scheduled appearances at Florida's Sun N' Steel Festival (March 6-7) and New Jersey's March Metal Meltdown VI (March 12-13).

TESTAMENT are continuing work on the material for the follow-up to 1999's "The Gathering" and are reportedly planning on entering the studio in April/May to begin recording the album for a late 2004 release through Spitfire Records. The band will likely premier two brand-new songs during their festival appearances next month, the sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

Bostaph is no stranger to the TESTAMENT camp, having played several live dates with the group in 1992 and appeared on the band's 1993 live EP, "Return To The Apocalyptic City" (Megaforce/Atlantic). He subsequently spent nearly a decade in SLAYER, with whom he recorded four full-length albums (1994's "Divine Intervention", 1996's "Undisputed Attitude", 1998's "Diabolus In Musica" and 2001's "God Hates Us All") before leaving the group (for the second and final time) in December 2001.

An official press release issued by the SLAYER camp had listed a chronic elbow injury as the reason for Bostaph's departure — an account later disputed by Bostaph, who almost immediately went on to join San Francisco Bay Area metallers SYSTEMATIC.

"I didn't leave SLAYER because of an arm problem, and I certainly didn't leave SLAYER to join SYSTEMATIC," Paul told the San Francisco-based Internet music magazine Perfect Pitch Online last year. "I was ready to go. It was nothing personal towards anybody in the band, it was just my time to leave. Musically, I wanted to do something else. And in terms of the problem I had with my arm, I re-aggravated an old softball injury by lifting up a laptop at the airport. That happened right at the beginning of the tour, and it never had time to heal. But even at that point, I was considering moving on from the band.

"SLAYER's a great band, and I had a lot of fun playing with them, but I have to feel like I'm taking chances musically.

"The first time I left SLAYER, I did [a project called] THE TRUTH ABOUT SEAFOOD. Sure, it never got signed, but I enjoyed it a lot.

"SLAYER took my drumming to a new level, but there are also other levels of drumming that I haven't even touched yet. I want to become a more eclectic drummer."

Bostaph officially left SYSTEMATIC last October, with the rest of the band attributing his departure in part to Paul's slower-than-anticipated progress following a knee surgery last fall. He has since been replaced in that band by his predecessor, Shaun Bannon.

nee, dat doe ik niet.

(okee, jij was eerst )

maar ik ben wel benieuwd hoe het gaat klinken want Bostaph is een keigoede drummer en een eeuwige opvolger van Lombardo.

Eerst in Slayer en Forbidden hebben gezeten en nu weer Testament, hij gaat echt alle grote thrashlegendes af geloof ik.
Bostaph was in Forbidden echt magistraal!

Heeft iemand dat SYSTEMATIC al gehoord?

Heet dat album toevallig 'Pleasure to burn'?

TESTAMENT Singer: 'PAUL BOSTAPH Is Steamrolling Through Old Material' - Feb. 16, 2004

TESTAMENT frontman Chuck Billy has posted the following message to the group's official Testament Legions message board:

"We just completed construction on a recording room in our new studio. Everything is set up, and it is full-steam ahead. After completing the studio and starting rehearsals with Johnny Tempesta [ex-WHITE ZOMBIE, EXODUS], we got on a roll, but it was getting tough with the distance between L.A. and the [San Francisco] Bay Area. At that point we knew we needed someone full time, and that is how Paul [Bostaph, ex-SLAYER, SYSTEMATIC] came into the picture [as first reported here yesterday — Ed.]. Paul was even Johnny's first recommendation. Johnny is still part of the family, and he knows I wish him well with HELMET. We've jammed with Paul before, and knew it would be killer if he could commit. After getting in touch with Paul, within a week he was set up, and has been rehearsing ever since. Things have been progressing quickly and amazingly. He is steamrolling through the old material and just as pumped as we are to be writing the new stuff. We have full confidence that it's gonna be KILLER! We do have shows in March and Europe in June. Our goal is to have [the new album] be recorded by the European tour in June. We have about 6 songs and [guitarist] Eric [Peterson] has a lot of great riffs that he and Paul are putting together. It feels good to have new songs, a new studio and a great vibe when we are jamming. Now that things are flowing, you'll be hearing from us more often!"

Dat klinkt goed ... alleen Jon Allen bij Helmet?
