I'm going to see them tonight. I saw them open for Preist but they only got like 30 minutes and I was pissed. Tonight I will get the full show and I'm ****ing pumped!

The Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City.

It's a small little club and it will kick some serious ass.

I have seen them there before along with Slayer, Pantera, Exodus and various other metal acts. Great venue for a metal show.

I saw them back around 90 with Priest and Megadeth. Fantastic show all around.

I bet.

Megadeth is the one big thrash band I have never seen. It has never worked out when they have been in the area for some reason. Hopefully, I will catch them someday.

Megadeth is one band I was fortunate enough to see live. Testament I've always wanted to but never had the chance. Looks like the OKC show is the nearest it will be to me

Yeah, that sucks. I was dissapointed when they took the opening spot for Preist in the Summer and canceled their date at the Diamond. They were great but only played like 6 songs. I just heard yesterday that they rescheduled this date and have been on cloud 9 ever since. The new album is almost perfect to me and I hope they continue to put out new stuff and tour. Hopefully, you will get the chance someday. They sound fantastic live and Chuck Billy's voice projects like no other singer I have seen live. Other than Slayer, Sepultura(with Max and Ivan) and Metallica(early years) they are probably my favorite band to see live.

Keep in mind I have never seen Megadeth or Lamb of God.

I have Testament's Live in London DVD and watch it all the time. I love Chuck Billy's performances glad to see he kicked that cancer. With Skolnik back in the group tops it all off for me. I love the new album, their sound has never changed.

Oh yeah, post some pics if you get any at the show

Great show last night.

They played a lot of stuff off the Legacy and New Order and all the really good songs on the new album. Even the Practice what you preach/Souls of Black era stuff sounded good live. I'm not a big fan of that period. The only complaint I have was their sound system was a bit too loud for the building they played it and the sound got a little distorted at times, but it wasn't that big of a Deal. Alex and Paul especially were on ****ing fire last night.

Solient Green was great as well. Those guys can play.

They are heading to the east coast so if you like metal and live up there definately check them out.

****! I'm still envious

My 2 favorites. Never had a chance to see them.

It's too bad they aren't hitting the rest of the area. It's weird. They just came from Australia to OKC and now the next show is in PA. I feel pretty lucky they came back through since that show got canceled when they took the headline gig with Preist.
