122. TESTAMENT’S ALEX SKOLNICK SHREDS: THE INTERVIEW (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)

The lead guitar player of Testament isn’t your typical metalhead, as you’ll soon hear. He’s had a long, varied, and surprisingly moving career in music.

In this episode, Alex talks with Discograffiti about:

  • The evolution of the types of guitars he’s played through his life;
  • The exciting road to becoming Testament’s lead guitar player;
  • And the epiphany he experienced in the late 1980s watching a Miles Davis gig, and the profound effect it had on his career.
