TESTAMENT's ALEX SKOLNICK Tries Out EVH Guitar At NAMM (Video)

January 18, 2011

Video footage of TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick trying out an EVH (Eddie Van Halen) guitar at the Fender booth at this past weekend's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California can be viewed below (courtesy of Metal Assault). Also available is footage of Skolnick performing at the Heritage booth at the same event.

The 2011 NAMM show is the largest music trade show in America, with more than 80,000 attendees and more than 1,500 exhibitors traveling from more than 100 countries. The convention, which concluded on Sunday, featured the music industry's newest musical instruments and state-of-the-art technologies.

Prosthetic Records has just re-released TESTAMENT's out-of-print 1995 hometown-show album "Live At The Fillmore" on CD. The LP was reissued digitally last spring.

The "Live At The Fillmore" re-release includes expanded artwork and new layout by Carson Slovak and new liner notes by Robert Deutsch.

Prosthetic previously reissued four TESTAMENT efforts: the acclaimed late-'90s studio albums "Demonic" and "The Gathering"; the re-recordings compilation "First Strike Still Deadly"; and the vintage live album "Live At Eindhoven '87".

TESTAMENT recently wrapped up the "American Carnage" tour with SLAYER and MEGADETH and is currently writing material for the follow-up to 2008's "The Formation Of Damnation".

"The new album will most likely be a culmination of 'The Gathering' [1999] and 'The Formation of Damnation', but we're definitely not going to forget who we are or our roots. I think we've found a comfortable spot in our writing style," stated vocalist Chuck Billy.

"The Formation Of Damnation" was reissued on February 23, 2010 in a deluxe tour edition. The two-disc edition includes the band's comeback album plus bonus footage of classic tracks and more.
