It's nice those rare instances when the GHIII DLC is vastly superior to the RB DLC.

Testament is one of the best metal bands to ever exist. This is a great song, but they do have much much better songs. They are in a whole different league than these other bands. And if you are trying to compare Testament to these current "rock teenage emo" bands, you are sorely mistaken. Alex skolnick has more guitar talent in one finger than all of those other bands put together.

You should have just linked the original version. They're not a very great live band IMO specially in 2008 and they're all in their 40s. Most of their live stuff just makes them sound like another crappy scream metal band, when in the original songs he actually sings way more.

Well if you think metal of all genres is gay, for your sake you probably shouldn't say what your favorite is because it's not gonna be any "manlier" than metal.

Meh. As I always say, I judge Rock Band DLC based on stuff that "my friends will want to play" and this is a pretty big fail in that regard.

Between Testament's "Electric Crown" and "Souls of Black" on the RB2 set list..... YEAH!

I'm a huge Staind fan and have been wanting them on Rock Band for a long time. That said, I really wish they picked a older song or released more then one song like Disturbed did with Indestructible. Believe would have been a good one I think.
Ahh well, win some you lose some. More money for the Galaga remake. :D

Fuck yeah Testament!
The other songs aren't too bad either. We'll see. Haven't heard Yomp yet so can't say much about that.

TESTAMENT!!!!!!!!!! \m/ Nice to see them getting lots of attention through the Rock Band franchise. Aside from the Four Horsemen Of Thrash (Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica & Slayer) it was bands like Testament, OverKill, Forbidden Evil, Destruction, Annihilator, Kreator and Pantera (etc, etc.) that kept the sub-genre going.
Saw Testament a couple weeks ago actuall @ Monsters Of Rock in Calgary - They were amazing!! I'd like to see the entire Formation Of Damnation available for Rock Band DLC.
....that or a Manowar trackpack. HAIL FROM WESTERN CANADA!!!
