Chris Holmes - Let It Roar (Official Music Video)

[@thesistersboil]

Chris Holmes is the kind of rock start we need. Someone who can rip an amazing solo and enjoy an ice cream cone. God bless this man!

[@Captaincurtsgarage]

hell yeah mrs smith

[@dino9395]

When Chris left WASP..He took the sound of the band with him..Not the same since he left.

[@jeremyjacob420]

Amen to that! 🙏😎

[@amilcarderas1624]

I was thinking the same way you are about Chris!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@noises4978]

a rock start

[@nosgothmarauder5603]

Long live the Mean Man! He battled cancer and won. And now is back to tear shit up!!!

[@89Ludwigs]

It's good to see you're still in the game. I always thought you were the best guitarist W.A.S.P. ever had.

[@ChrisHolmes]

Rob Valine Thanks Rob

[@ronrocker7131]

+Chris Holmes Hey, Chris! As a fan(and a young, aspiring guitarist and singer), i'm glad you're still out there doin' stuff, but while i support you doing your thing, i got a few things to point out. 1.The song idea is cool, it's got a lot of drive and it's very honest, but it feels underdeveloped and is sloppy at times(mainly at some parts of the guitar solo). It will be better, if you work on the lyrics and vocal melodies some more, and redo the drums, because most of the fills(especially between verses) are overplayed. The song's NOT bad in itself, i like it, it reminds me of Animal(Fuck Like A Beast) with all that classic Mean Man vibe all the way through. But still, it could be better. 2. Your singing. I like the tone of your voice(you kinda remind me of Lemmy of Motorhead and that's a cool thing), but you should consider getting a good vocal coach, 'cause you lack vocal technique and pitch control. You've been a guitarist all your life, not a singer after all. I hope you'll eventually read this and not get mad over the critique, cause i'm a fan, and i mean well, after all. I don't have the experience you have, but i had to point this out, cause you can do better. Rock on! Your fan, Ron

[@ronrocker7131]

+Rock N Roll Party Music I agree with the fun part. Today's rock'n'roll tends to lack the fun aspect.

[@robertschall9071]

+Ron Rocker It does remind you of Animal in the beginning, just slower.

[@AngelofAnguish]

+Ron Rocker LIKEWISE!

[@draganilic3064]

Im listening WASP over 20 years and first time its sounds amaizing like today and im so glad that Chris is a live and he is a good.It s a pity Blackie loses Chris and Randy it was amaising crew.CHRIS MY MAN MY LONG TIME HERO I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST ALL GOD HEALTH IN THE WORLD ALL GOOD FORTUNE AND THANKS U MEAN MAN FOR ALL.IM SO GLAD U STIL ROAR.GREATINGS FROM SMEDEREVO FUCKIN SERBIA.

[@myworstenemy680]

"Get ready for a decibel shower" This one sounds great live. Huge guitar with some actual tone and attitude. Nice work Chris.

[@mattgraham7835]

Best fucking line in the song!

[@boogabeazley8276]

Chris your work with WASP for me personally is everything. Your trademark guitar sound and solos made a huge mark on my life as teenager and still does. Rock on Bra!

[@WinslowLeach1974]

"Let It Roar" - goes fishing - sips his coffee - eats ice cream cone - plunks some piano keys - gives doggie a snack - lounges on the couch - looks at the waves - looks through tourist high-powered binoculars ......and for whatever reason I really like this video

[@djrebel236]

Nothing wrong with that, ive alwayz like chris with or without wasp....♪♫♪♫♎☠\m/☠♎♫♪♫♪=^-^=☠♎ KC3AGI =^-^= O.C. Rebel♎☠=^-^=♪♫♪♫♎☠\m/☠♎♫♪♫♪

I Believe Chris writes his music for himself not caring what others think!!! Awesome Chris keep rocking!!!

[@catherineholmes4050]

Chris write all his music and lyrics ...Thank you :)

[@feiner69]

I meant Chris writes for himself!!! Not caring what others think

[@catherineholmes4050]

***** That is true !!!!... He is who he is and don't play games ... Thank you for your words !!!!

[@Fidelio116]

He seems to be having a great time, he seems to be happy, and trying to spread some positive vibes around. To me, he succeeds. That's all that matters.

[@lintboy2000]

Nothing says positive vibes like the number of times the phrase "fuck off" is used, along with the middle finger, and the picture of Manson.

[@salvajegeorge2830]

@@lintboy2000 you are right hahahahahaha XD

[@blacksheep25251]

Its all about Passion. Thanks to Chris Holmes, my passion has returned and I'm recording again. Say what you will, but this is raw, pure metal! Thank you sir!

[@kinghanuk]

How can you dislike this video? This is an instant classic with attitude, rock spirit and humour all merged into one. Two thumbs up.

[@alejampi2]

This is the greatest music video I have ever seen in my entire life.

[@cpirazzo]

This song RULES!!! My 5 old son makes me play it over and over again. He loves it as much as I do. We love you Chris! Get better soon, you are gonna kick cancer in the ass, you are gonna beat this! God bless you

[@dividedbyzach]

Watched the doc on Prime last night and I'm so happy that you're sober and still rocking! Guitar tone still sounds killer, too.

[@999heretic999]

There is no wasp without Chris Holmes. You’re badass man. Thanks for all the jams.

[@eustaceyazzie]

awesome man I seen W,A,S,P in 1985 the last command tour in Phoenix Az,

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

I don't know what it is about this song, but the more times I listen to it, the more I enjoy it. Nice job Chris.

[@romanesq]

Agree 100%. What a great performance here. Chris really rocks hard.

[@joserpm]

This proves what I've said all along. Chris Holmes was the SOUND of W.A.S.P. period. And I just happen to dig it.

[@jonesrbd1]

I love that huge sounding old school guitar tone. Great to see you still doing what you do Chris.

[@nikkifarris9873]

thank god hes back some good ole vibes and stage volume thank you chris thank you

[@zerodelorean]

Chris Holmes, you've always been one of my favorite guitarists and after all these years you're still an inspiration to me, man! Your tone, riffs and solos are always instantly recognizable, you are a legend. You've overcome so much and now you're sober with a good wife at your side and living in beautiful France, free to make more kick ass heavy metal music that sets my blood afire with every listen. You've been one of my heroes since the very beginning of WASP and I thank you for it! I'm 46 now and it makes this old man happy to see you doing so well. Cheers!

[@emedel5772]

the guitar tone is amazing!

[@tuhhahmiss]

Jeepers. Some people need to understand that not all musical expression is serious or deals with heavy emotion. Sometimes its just a blast to make. You go Chris, and if you ever need a guest solo from an electric ukulele player, hit me up! LET IT ROAR!

[@simonhunter3430]

looking forward to seeing your documentary Chris. Rock on and come back to Edinburgh again soon! x

[@EdenMyrrhOfficial]

Great to see you back at it. Good tunes. CHEERS!

[@DrDommm]

His guitar sound since early W.A.S.P..is still here. This is a great song. It's W.A.S.P. 1984 style!!!

[@anahowana534]

This one is the real deal, the vocals are raw, rough, they translate years of vodka, smoke, and Rock&Roll ))) The guitar tone is awesome too. I don't know why Holmes reminds me of Mickey Rourke!! Anyway, cheers from Morocco to the last man of his kind, Mr Chris Holmes

[@michaelmessina5341]

I don't care what anyone says as this is awesome rock n roll and nothing more. WASP was never the same after Chris left and this music tells you why. Keep rocking Chris !!!

[@TheEmbrace666]

Absolutely love the Holmes guitar sound. Its what made me a wasp fan in the 80's and its still just as good today.

[@eduardoavello8710]

Chris Holmes lives and breathes hard rock and heavy metal... A true free spirit...

[@stianfuruseth542]

I met him last week. A fucking great guy. Humble, nice and open. And most of all. A true rockn rooller! Greatings from Norway and Lillestrøm, Chris!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸

LET-IT-ROAR.. it sounds like I hear A-NI-MAL ! Which is what you are Chris, a beast ! Your my bro mean man!

[@josephschmidt4157]

Chris rocks and kicks ass!

[@johnniewalker972]

This track is not only bad-ass, but it's from one of the TRUE REBELS in the scene! Rock on bro.

[@quit293]

Great tune Chris. Awesome guitar playing as always. Your guitar tone always stood out among all the guitar players from 80s.

[@elblancobasura]

Still the best show I ever saw in my life at the Troubadour in 1982. His voice reminds me of El Duce from the Mentors. Glad to see he's still around.

[@guitarstorms]

The real deal from the real mean man ....we love him because he stands for the underdogs the real metal fans......long life to you brother..

[@canterbilly1]

Good to see you in great form Mean Man. One of my guitar heroes growing up. Rock on big man.

[@LuisRodriguez-ud2jl]

Chris, I'm so glad you're back and rocking! Your guitar tone is still the same one that blew my mind back when I listened to WASP. I wish you the best of luck and may the metal gods shine upon you again!

[@tayron27]

One of the most gifted guys I ever grew up to. I loved Chris and his technique and his uncompromising approach to guitar playing

[@upos9471]

Vicious guitar player with killer tone. One of my all time favorites.

[@metal66674]

Holy shit I fucking love this song!! Chris rules!!!! I got to play with Chris and Randy with Animal back in 2003 in Youngstown, my band Metalourd opened the show for them, I've always loved your playing Chris , you've been a huge influence on me since I was a kid. Great to see you're doing well and kicking ass brother!!!!

[@whotendsthefire7234]

rock guitar and fishing! cant get any cooler than those two! glad to see Chris back and rockin out!

[@PurpleGameRoom]

Awesome tune! I am glad that 80s heavy metal is still around for people like me who weren't there in the 80s. When he comes to the netherlands I hope I can see him live.

[@DHTC888]

Wow I found this by accident and now I'm all lit up!! There's something about Chris Holmes that lights everything up like a xmas tree. I could watch that dude shred chops thru a practice amp or read out of the phone book and it's the raddest thing I've seen in WEEKS. I don't know what it is, he's just got some kind of 'it' factor.

[@frankalvillar4064]

Holy shit!!!!! Did I just hear that????? Fuck yeah, I knew chris wouldn't let a hard core fan like myself down. This is the real deal. I wouldn't go as far as to say he's back, because he never went away. But I will say this, he has always been creative song writing machine. He just had to get back with the right people. And he has done just that. Fuck yeah chris, "let it roar"!!!!!!!

[@flotsamjetsam8697]

So awesome to see you are still doing what you love Chris. This is one of the most metal songs I've heard in awhile. It has that uncompromising attitude that's been missing in mainstream modern 'rock and metal' outfits, and if people can't take it, too damn bad. You do you brother!

[@ΑποστόληςΤσιακίρης]

Happy to see you again my friend!Let it roaaarrrrrr!!!

[@mattbauckman9907]

Man, that Jackson Rhoads is a road warrior with some mojo! Love it! Good stuff Chris! Playing guitar and fishing are two of my favorite things. Glad you're still out there playing for fun and enjoying life. Keep it up!

This song kicks ass! It is so good to see Chris Holmes back playing. His guitar sound is always awesome which is why W.A.S.P. kicked so much ass back in the day. Keep on rockin Chris!

[@RockNRoller66]

Yes brother! Also digging the new documentary movie all the way from here in Memphis. Rock On, I still do and I've been playing since 1973. Them guitars and amps are my lithium...

[@benjamincolerowe]

Chris is actually a really good metal guitarist, and there's a certain swagger in this song's solo where the "touch" of the notes is actually pretty hard to replicate. For example, the last 13-14 seconds of this solo (when he's sort of just outro-ing out of it), there's a certain feel and touch to the notes that's just totally "Chris" and only Chris.

[@michaelobrien9689]

There’s that great guitar tone. One of the great things from the WASP debut. Pretty cool song and he sounds like El Duce singing.

great song, great LP! I fully understand the humour in this video, if any was ever intended :D. and it's still heavy enough,just like the music! love it! to me he seems a lil bit more sober recently, enjoying life, and the french riviera is the perfect place to be at when you're in that period. (well..if you can afford it...:D ) a lot of my best friends love this LP and the previous one too! please, make that T-shirt! ;)
