Hahaha YES!!! We'll travel around the great city and I know some people that could put us up for the night maybe :D

Aye Testament are an amazing band, The New Order being one of my favourite albums. Skolnick's also my favourite lead guitarist. Although Metal Iain is right...there is a lot of wankery with the acoustic intros on the album

I loved TesTamenT up until they released The Ritual. That for me was the point where they lost it. Don't get me wrong The Ritual is a good album, but it had nothing to do with the TesTamenT i liked. Was totally underwhelmed when i saw em at Clash Of The Titans in 91. Was expecting them to blow me away and they were just ok. The albums since have maybe had a couple of cracking tracks on them here or there, but again, nothing special. Still enjoyed the dvd of the KoKo club show from last year though.

Nah, it was the Ingliston Exhibition Centre out near Edinburgh Airport. It was a big shed and the sound was fucking awful. I remember someone had (found?) one of those sturdy plastic oil drum type containers and was slamming off the top of it!!!

Good to see that no one has voted them as overrated and boring. They are one of the best Thrash bands about. However I do prefer Overkill.

The Legacy is an esssential album for any thrasher, the new order is great and then they kinda take a steep nose dive imo
