Fantastic! Skolnick has wonderful stage presence. I've seen him with the Alex Skolnick Trio, and TSO, but not yet with Testament. He also gives the best hugs EVER.

I think it helps that I'm female. That seems to earn me plenty of hugs.

Haha, yeah.. tho he is so nice he would have given me one if I asked

HeavyMetalFaerie In reply to straightfromcamera [2011-04-14 19:35:16 +0000 UTC]
He probably would have! The guy is super-nice. Seeing him with the Trio was excellent, because he wasn't mobbed by fans, so he was easily accessible.

I've seen Testament twice, the Trio hasn't been here, and he only plays the East version of TSO..

I had the pleasure of seeing Testament about a year ago. Great show. I love this shot. It captures the energy of the band.

I've heard of these guys... I never bothered to check them out though. Mainly because it's thrash. I'm not much of a thrasher.

straightfromcamera In reply to BassOvercast [2011-04-14 03:12:39 +0000 UTC]
He has a Jazz trio under the name "Alex Skolnick Trio" - i know thrash isn't for everyone.. I don't like it as much as other genres either

BassOvercast In reply to straightfromcamera [2011-04-14 03:50:32 +0000 UTC]
I'm mainly into funeral doom metal. But I like almost all genres of metal. In fact... I like almost all genres in general. I'll have to check out his Jazz trio. Thanks for the recommendation!

This is awesomness! Damn! I wish I could do photos like that!

You can, just takes a decent camera and inspiration to get out there and do it! I took a quick look at your gallery and you're already half way there.. just keep shooting music!

schwarzdrossel In reply to straightfromcamera [2011-04-14 13:04:12 +0000 UTC]
Oh, thank you.
The problem is, I don't have the money to buy a decent camera... besides, the security wouldn't let me in with that. I tried with my Sony one time, and they refused, so I had to use my cellphone. :/
I only shoot the photos as a paying guest
Would be awesome if I would get as close as that!

Haha, you know, on saturday I met some people from a website. They shoot photos on concerts and parties and that... aaaand... I applied. I already talked to the boss on the party I was... A friend and me ended there by pure coincidence... now I'm waiting for the answer. I hope I get the job - well, for no pay, but hey - I could go to any concert, club and whatever

Awe, thank you
I'm still waiting for their answer, and it's so damn hard not to bite my nails off up to my elbows...
