The most underrated metal guitarist by far. He is a genius with a fret board.

[speedfiend]

The solo always gives me goosebumps. This is one of those rare songs that changes something inside me...a feeling that I can't even put into words. And almost 30 years later, it holds more relevance to my life today, at age 46, then the day it was released, when I was 18. Timeless...

[thomastaipliadis]

Two things: first, The Ritual is a criminally underrated Heavy Metal monster! second, I adore this solo! Stay safe, people!

If there was ever an underrated shredder it’s Skolnick. He’s prodigious.

[DirtyxLarry]

When you see Skolnick grit his teeth on a solo, you know it's epic.

This was one of my dad's favourite songs, he died from cancer in April this year.i listen to it to remember us working together, with testament blaring out of the cassette player. Thanks Alex.

The song is beautiful but The solo itself is a Masterpiece 😍One of the greatest solos i've ever heard.

[deansternberg]

Haven't heard this song in years. Chills all over again during the solo.

[JackMcLeodJr]

One of the greatest metal ballads ever Alex. That solo is one of the best mate.

[WickedKnightAlbel]

One of the best Testament songs, which is no small feat

[anthonynoe]

Man that solo gets me everytime. Love this guy's playing so much. He deserves so much more recognition.

[dreadbull]

My two fav guitarists in the world: Alex Skolnick and John Petrucci. Master craftsmen!!

[hugodellarciprete]

one of the best guitar solos of all time

[vrea]

After all this corona virus is done we're going to need a TESTAMENT CONCERT TOUR

[christhayil]

How is this not in their live set? This is one of the thrash 'ballad' classics, along with Unforgiven, A Tout LeMonde, Seasons in the Abyss, Black Lodge, etc

[matteolorenzetti]

One of the beautiest ballads in metal history. AMAZING

[Garbrel]

The guitar solo on this song and the title track from _The Ritual_ are two of Skolnick's most dynamic solos in the Testament catalog.

[knoxtaurigen]

Best guitarist in the world.
The best ballad.
The best solos ever made!

[Rational_Mind]

Seeing this masterpiece played to this level of perfection made me tear up. Skolnick is a guitar god walking amongst mere mortals!

After hearing this song on the radio for the first time, driving a truck through Florida on a sunny afternoon in 2004, I started playing guitar again after a 18 year hiatus. Thank you Alex.
