Testamen't Alex Skolnick Featured On NHL Ad for 'Winter Classics'!


Alex Skolnick from Testament and the Alex Skolnick Trio, is one of the most well grounded guitarists in Heavy Music today. He is also one of the founders of the legendary Thrash Metal band Testament and in 2002 he started a musical project called the Alex Skolnick Trio. He has also played in bands such as Ozzy Osbourne and has contributed his talent to many musical projects. His latest musical project? Skolnick lend his guitar skills to NBC for an NHL advertising, which you can watch below. Here is what Skolnick had to say about this.

"A couple weeks back, I tweeted about recording from my hotel room while on the road, using a Strat and a whammy bar. Here's what that was for (I can finally say)... An ad spot for the Winter Classic on NBC Sports. The game airs on New Years. What NBC wanted was the New Years song, 'Auld Lang Syne,' done in the style of 'Star Spangled Banner a la Hendrix in Woodstock. It's very short - the first half of a 30 second spot, which morphs into prerecorded music. But it's kind of cool and was fun 2 do."
