Posted August 29, 200618 yr I found out that one of my favourite bad's singers has cancer :( Chuck Billy was the singer for classic unsung heros of thrash metal Testament. He sung for them during their classic period of their early albums. For me Testament are one of the best thrash metal bands of all time and in some ways i consider them better then Metallica. Their metal ballads are amazing, they are not affraid to slow things down and add accostic influences. Also they can be fast, really fast, some songs they make Slayer seem slow. Here's some of their best songs.

August 31, 200618 yr Author Ok, well i found out he was cured of cancer. so that's good news. Has anyone actually took the time to listen to these songs or am i speaking to myself here?
August 31, 200618 yr Author Sorry to hear that My best wishes go out to him and his family umm he got better, didn't you read the second post? :P but there's always the chance it could come back :( i hope it doesn't.
August 31, 200618 yr Testament are a great Metal band, I started listening to them in the late 80s when I was big into Thrash, I always found them to be a more intricate and melodic band than the likes of Slayer, but when they thrash out, they do it BIG time... "Burnt Offerings" and "The New Order" are fave tracks of mine....

September 1, 200618 yr Try it at about after midnight or 2am when there typically aint as much traffic on You Tube.... I will thanks :D Though I don't know if it's my wireless connection playing up actually :unsure:
September 1, 200618 yr I've watched them all and not my type of music to be honest. Return To Serenity was the better one for me because it's easier to follow.

September 1, 200618 yr Author I've watched them all and not my type of music to be honest. Return To Serenity was the better one for me because it's easier to follow. I thought it would be for most people. It's very melodic. One of my favourites.
September 17, 200618 yr testament are a great band i have only recently started listening to them, but i love their early stuff. Their later music is a little to heavy especially the screaming style vocals.
