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.

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.

straightfromcamera In reply to HeavyMetalFaerie [2011-04-14 20:19:05 +0000 UTC]

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!

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!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

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
