Greg Christian Says He Was 'Under Duress' In Testament
. (Classic Rock) Former Testament bassist Greg Christian has posted a reflective Facebook update, a year after he left the band after a lack of payment. Although he again hits out at his ex-band's hardline attitude - which left him with less than $150 to his name - he also writes of being in a better, more productive place with his new project Trinity Fallen. And he also reveals his financial woes were put into perspective following the death of friend Fozz Bear. He says: "Been reflecting a lot. A little over a year away from Testament I see everything so much different. There's also something about death that helps to put other things in perspective so I think Fozz's passing may actually be 'helping' me in a way. "I'd have to say I was under duress the entire eight and a half years I was back in the band. I came back with nothing, under a great deal of stress about trying to keep up an appearance that was consistent with being in a band of this stature, while being sh*t broke and struggling. "That's exhausting and I was never able to get ahead, even a little. They fully took advantage, knowing if I didn't just do the gigs and get that next cheque, I couldn't pay my bills. There was no negotiating. There was a, 'F*** off, take it or we'll get someone that will. We own everything and you're not sh*t anyway' kind of attitude. I never once felt grounded or balanced. It wasn't possible." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
