Rocksource360.com recently caught up with TESTAMENT / ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO guitarist Alex Skolnick. Check out he discussion on the audio player at the bottom of the page.

Skolnick recently issued the following update:

"I am thrilled to announce that the Alex Skolnick Trio will be supporting RODREGO y GABRIELLA on their upcoming US run. It looks like I will be sitting in nightly with Rod and Gab, as well.

This means, unfortunately, that I won't be out with Testament on the MEGADETH run of dates in March (dates that were added only recently, in light of the American Carnage tour being postponed). While I feel bad for anyone disappointed I won't be there, I respect the decision to book these dates and ask for the fans' understanding with this as the trio has had March on hold for a long time. Glen Drover, who is filling in for me, will do an awesome job and I encourage everyone to go see the show regardless.

Also, for those who have been asking: I will not be taking part in the TSO Beethoven's Last Night Tour at this time. I appreciate the support and encourage everyone to see it, as it promises to be an excellent with or without yours truly.

I understand it can get confusing keeping track of me and my multiple projects/genres (believe me, I have my own challenges with this, lol). But I'm happy to announce that we are redesigning alexskolnick.com in a way that's going to make things much easier to keep track of. The new design will happen soon.

If you are able to come check out the RyG dates with me, Matt and Nathan please come by and say hello after the show. See you soon, thanks for the support and a great 2010 to everyone."
