Testament is such a great F ing band!!! Time has proven that. I'll never understand why they never got as big as Metallica or Megadeth for example. Hindsight is 20/20 and I can definitely say they were way BETTER than Metallica and I'm an old school Metallica fan (don't care for anything after And Justice... even that album took some getting used to.) But I digress... F ing TESTAMENT!!! Those of us who know...KNOW.

They also should have left the full-length song intact. It's a crime they cut off parts of the guitar solos.

I skipped my high school graduation to see these guys with Slayer in 1992 ! These guys were amazing. Groups like them and Overkill, Slayer, Creator and Megadeth were bad ass !

I am Louie Clemente's daughter and my dad was always on tour when I was really little and after I was born. So I saw him mostly on holidays,bdays and for the summer until he retired. But seeing his talent as I've grown up has been great. As an adult now it hits different. Greg is the mastermind to the concepts and most lyrics and so much more. But the band as a whole is the true definition of manifestation. My mom told ne she watched at 18 yrs old Testament band members manifested everything to do with the band. From choosing members,writing music,lyrics and getting signed and touring/Headlining. Never stop manifesting in your life. I've manifested everything great in mine.

This song and "The Legacy"... If the band should make more songs like these, it would be amazing.

I've always wanted to see them play this song live but it's not always in the set. Really cool moody song from these guys. And the solo is amazing.

I remember being stranded at the Terminator 1993 Halloween; Testament was playing in the basement and I was able to enjoy the show from the front. Chuck Billy shook my hand after they were finished. My most worst night ended up being the most amazing night!!

Still to this day one of my favorite Testament albums. Never gets old 👍🎤🎸🤘

Underrated song!

Damn it! It still rocks like almost 30 years ago. Beautiful and iconic. So underrated! it's lot more deserves than this. Scholnick rules!!!!!!

one of the all time best

The "big 4" could only dream of writing a song like this

If a new band had popped up with this album in '92, they would've been huge.

They should be in the big4 for me.

(No disrespect to Glen Alvelais, awesome guitar player btw) I've learned a bit later that he had left the band, i was really devastated!! My favorite band EVER! Kinda like when old folks learned that "the Beattles" had just split up... I love you Alex, you're a true genius!

The best band ever. Period.

Discovered This Song Couple Of Days Ago. Guitar Solo is some God Level Work 🙌

This song has great meaning to me. I am addicted to girls but back in 2008 didn't know it yet. My first girlfriend dumped me and I fell into a crisis and in that state of despair one day I got into a record store and bought the Signs Of Chaos compilation and listened to this song which helped me to soothe the pain for that moment (thank God years later I found help in a support group and my relationships have improved greatly, still have some issues with that department of my life tho).

Today people have no clue about the real music, this is a real art...
