They really are amazing. On their first album they do a cover over Orion by Metallica. The track that Skolnick plays on is called Atman and is dedicated to Dimebag Darrell.


Thanks, I'll check it out. Skolnick is awesome. I just heard about Rodrigo & Gabriela earlier this year. Cool stuff. Anyone who covers Orion gets points right there.

I saw Testament in the spring of 08. Didn't get a chance to catch them this year. They're touring Japan right now. I'm hoping they do a few U.S. dates before the end of the year.
