Why did Alex Skolnick only do one album with Savatage?
Alex’s work with Savatage was only a project by project, tour by tour, leg-by-leg basis. Alex himself has said he enjoyed working with Savatage and that they are without a doubt “the coolest band he’s ever worked with.” Alex said of the Testament -> Savatage jump: “They didn’t like what I was doing. So, I found someone that does.” When someone said to him, “…you joined a better band anyway,” Skolnick quickly replied: “Not BETTER, just different. I respect Testament for what they’re doing.
