Alex Skolnick Celebrates Angus Young | Rock Music News

Alex Skolnick, Testament’s fiery guitarist, is giving Angus Young the ultimate musical shoutout—calling him a criminally underrated genius behind the iconic AC/DC stage antics. Skolnick, who rose through the ranks inspired by The Beatles, KISS, Van Halen, and AC/DC, even studied with Joe Satriani alongside legends like Vai and Hammett. After joining Testament at 16, he dove into jazz, a journey that now fuels his wildly inventive Alex Skolnick Trio. Their latest album, “Prove You’re Not A Robot,” fuses complex jazz rhythms with metal and rock, blending influences from Wes Montgomery to Black Sabbath. Known for electrifying live shows and genre-bending covers, the trio tours the globe and earns raves from critics. Skolnick’s versatility also shines in collaborations—from jazz-rock to folk to Rodrigo y Gabriela—proving his guitar mastery knows no bounds.
