Testament at the Best Buy in NYC was amazing. The venue was one of the best I've been too and the line up was incredible! Overkill, Flotsam & Jetsam, and 4ARM we're excellent support and it was great to finally see Overkill live. This was a great Thrash concert, no complaints. I would recommend all of these bands to any metal fan. It was truly a Valentines Day Massacre!!

Are you kidding me......Testament was nothing short of remarkable in Cincinnati this Wednesday night. Gene Hoglan looked like he was on vacation as he pounded out the most incredible display of percussion artistry I have ever seen, effortlessly driving the thunder behind the best Testament show I have ever seen. Chuck B.......forget about it.... he is just getting started folks, I don't remember him sounding any better. Skolnick, Peterson, Christian WHAT...it was sick, best show I have seen all year and I have been to many. They were ALL in from the beginning of the show visably happy to be sharing their time and art with the crowd. OVER-DELIVERED EXPECTATIONS! EPIC ! Do yourself a favor...see Testament
Honesty, I wish I could have done it all over again on Thursday.

This was a truly Amazing event! I purchased the VIP ticket for this show. I went mainly to see Overkill, but Testament rocked and Flotsam & Jetsam was an added Bonus! Of course no Overkill event would be complete without Eddie Trunk, and he did a wonderful introduction for the bands. Testament nailed every song from old to new with amazing precision! Overkill brought down the house with everything from The Electric Age to the more classic fare that everyone including myself sang along to word for word! Even DD Verni was sporting a new haircut which looked good! Old school Thrash Metal is alive and well thanks to pioneers such as Overkill and Testament! I hope they keep on decimating our ear drums for many years to come!

Two words: freaking brutal.

Ticketmaster says I need to add more words, so how about super-freaking brutal? Testament came out of the gate at full speed and never let up. Chuck Billy, Alex Skolnick, Eric Peterson, Greg Christian and Gene Hoglan know how to keep an act on the boil. I'd say they're up there with Maiden for maintaining momentum. (By the way, Hoglan is a drumming machine--always a treat to see him live.)

4arm, Flotsam&Jetsam, and Overkill put on a great show with great sound mixing from the sound mixer. Testament wasn't as impressive due to the sound. The Best buy Theater is an awesome venue for any and all type of musical performances.

Unfortunately overkill did not play due to illness. However 4 Arm and Testament were absolutely incredible!! Flotsam n jetsam also played very good. I was really bummed about overkill but I was really impressed with 4 Arm. And the guys came out after their set and spoke with us and signed photos. Testament as always put on an incredible show!!!!

Testament is on a roll with their constant touring and promoting their new album. The Dark Roots Of Thrash tour will be unforgettable in all ways, and I'm so glad Testament brought an amazing line-up to support them. Every band member performed with such energy that in got the crowd alive and wild. Both guitarists performed brilliant solos and vocalist Chuck Billy never missed a beat. I loved his glow-in-the-dark microphone stand as well. What an experience!

Its incredible that these guys are still recording amazing music and performing amazing shows. They played for a solid hour and a half! Well worth the money. I have to admit I didn't know what to expect, since I started listening to Testament when I was 14, and am now in my 30's...but wow! They are incredible musicians and performers, full of energy and no gimmicks. Cannot wait to see them again.

TESTAMENT was excellent! Great show ,great crowd but I went to see OVERKILL.
Apparently Bobby Blitz called in sick. Hopefully they will be back. TESTAMENT still blew me away. Its was my first time at this theater and I was very impressed. Its a great place to see a show. I highly recommend THE PARAMOUNT in Huntington NY!

The sound wasnt that great so my mind had to figure out the sound-to-noise ratio. Almost no guitars and vocals. Percussion and bass guitars were clear probably because the geniuses who set up the system go for rap crap. The energy and fans were definitely there. Camaraderie was definitely there among the thrashers.

Was a good time regardless.

I got there when Flotsam came on. They sounded great. I was hoping to hear songs from the cold but they did not play any. I was very happy to see them. Overkill came out screaming. Their set was intense. Testament blew everyone away. Skolnick was awesome. A lot of old school metal was played. Don't hesitate. Just go.
