Alex Skolnick Osiris Podcast is excited to release their latest episode of the multidimensional, multimedia podcast series -- Past, Present, Future, Live! -- featuring legendary thrash metal guitarist Alex Skolnick. Host RJ Bree talks with Skolnick, who at age 16 joined the band Testament, which would become one of the bands that defined the thrash metal scene of the late 1980s.

Skolnick discusses studying with Joe Satriani, touring the world with some of the leading metal bands, and changing his life completely by moving to New York, studying jazz, and forming the Alex Skolnick Trio, which is still playing jazz today. We also discussed his new podcast, Moods & Modes, which is now part of the Osiris family.
