Chris Holmes PART 2 W.A.S.P. History, Blackie Lawless, Randy Piper, Don Costa, 1982-1983 - Interview

[@SeaToSkyImages]

I could listen to you and Chris talk for hours. What a great interview.

[@geecee4746]

Big respect for Chris Holmes

[@MegaDknox]

Only complaint about the interview. It wasn't long enough. I really enjoy listening to the stories.

[@kevinblake839]

Chris sounds really lucid here, which hasn't always been the case. His guitar work on the Headless Children album is exceptional, his finest moment.🤘🎸

[@kathiweaver7392]

Oh thank god, I always thought that was about me, and it's about them the nub body that don't pay attention to something really special and make up lies about each other! God!

Oh no, so it's Fox was, no Randy got bass I mean Chris - eh what did you buy him for Christmas?? : )

I like Chris on Bass, you suck! Whoever you were!?

[@kathiweaver7392]

Chris, he don't play guitar so well, in a solo band of his own, or something. Thanks!!

Randy and I are Chris too; Blackie won't be! LOL.

Chris Holmes is going to be the 80s generation's Keith Richards - the guy who everyone thought would drink himself to death early on and ends up living forever instead.

[@meotv2336]

We love you Chris

[@stevengoodman3498]

Cris Holmes is a timeless rock n roll warrior who slays anything with his tone for days! I hope he lives forever. Rock on Chris! Thanks FIB for posting. All your interviews are legendary.

[@douglaslane2570]

What a sweetheart of a guy. Great interview.

[@kathiweaver7392]

You damn biatches learn - this is how you to be a guy!! : )

[@douglaslane2570]

Chris had a Heart Of Gold!!

[@irocitZ]

The sweetheart moment for me was when Chris told Don Costa he would chew his balls off and spit 'em back in his face on stage. Haha

[@phnigra111]

~Chris sounds great! 🤘🔥 Great interview~

[@cecilmusick8629]

Love your channel and how you ask in detail about what amps etc. they used, I geek out on that stuff! Chris Holmes is such a likable guy, honest, down to earth and no BS with this guy!

[@cheeseguy4998]

This was great thank you ! :D Also little unknown trivia here : After Circus Circus they briefly were called Sister again before becoming Wasp . So they were called Sister twice.

[@rjc7289]

Never knew that. I thought the Sister period was only in the late 70's. What's your source for that information?

What a killer interview, I could listen to this all day as interview's this the shit, just listen to it

[@larryshepherd5380]

That jackson with manson on it is my dream guitar ever since i got into wasp back in 88-89. Knowing he still had and records with it is awesome. Really wish it was in my collection though.

[@SuperStrik9]

That guitar rules.

Genuine guy, man....no filter

[@joestewart2298]

I’m glad I subscribed to this channel, il love hearing interviews about back then, I wanna be somebody too, wild child, vh1 interviewed blackie lawless on t.v. Once, blackie you have the Memphis 50s, Elvis, you have those chapters, 82’ -83 LA, WILL HAVE ITS OWN CHAPTER, I was like WOW.

[@stickmaster90]

After listening to this, I have even more respect for Chris Holmes. Blackie may have been the main song writer but Chris was most everything else. He really got screwed

[@musicmamma]

I love your interviews. Informative, descriptive, & professional. Kudos!

Thank you for the love, musicmamma. Glad you enjoy them.

A pure Guitarist the sound in the sound in the Studio or Live is Chris Holmes

[@rayprevailer8454]

WASP has never been close to what they were after Chris. I saw WASP in Minneapolis on the Electric Circus tour. Medium size venue. The Orpheum. 3 bands in order were Raven, Slayer, WASP. My first concert experience and close to the best I have seen since.

[@MsJhook]

Seen that show in Salt Lake

[@skk7593]

100% Blackie is good on guitar but Chris.....like missing Jeff from Slayer or KK from Priest. Not the same. KFD tour was the last I saw with Chris playing (Double Live Assassins). That was the best show.

[@zebageba]

I was at the Dallas show at the Arcadia Theater in 1984. Fucking wild show.

[@johnadams2063]

Chris is a badass rockstar!! So cool. He looks as cool as a rock star can..

[@image30p]

So many interesting pieces of information!

[@blakejohnson996]

He has the best guitar tone! Love his lead sound.

[@darkChristian]

How can two of the most intriguing gentlemen come together at the same place? Blackie & Chris look like they were born to be together its in the Stars, I hope they work together again and Tony Richards on drums and do the last W.A.S.P RECORD with a big bang cuz it is "The Blackie Lawless project" KFD & I like "still not black enough" there last true records after that it sounds like an airplane going a round and round no dynamics or true passion UNLEASH W.A.S.P ON THE WORLD, NOW!

[@dennismcdonald2607]

Nice!

[@TheMetalMag]

great thx, he's awesome

[@TheParris1]

I love these shows,Asking the right questions ,me and my friends are big fans...I met Chris backstage when I was working for a independent local mag.and Co hosted RocklineTv a Austin TX a local access show.Chris and Blackie came to the area I was waiting in.They seemed as if they were drinking as they were having words with eachother and ended getting their hands on eachother.i m trippin thinking holy shit ! Both of these guys were big dudes...after they break it up.i didn't say a word.then Blackie said are you the guy that wants to talk to us I said yes."well let's do this sit down "ok he said where is your pen ",I say I need to get my things I set them dow over there.the fight had my attention so I moved out the way as they scffuld.I think Chris could take him .he was drinking..everyone sat down it was like nothing happened..they both talked yo me going through the questions and statements...it was great...they I think we're opening for Stryper in Austin

[@fullinbloom]

Great story. Thanks for sharing it.

[@TheParris1]

It s a pleasure .thanks for doing this show.great idea .telling us about how these guys made there records, amazing down to the mic that was used.if your looking for any help,I have many years of TV radio cut ads and host Ed late 80 interviewing all the biggest bands in the world at that time.perry parris fb

3 tracks...now I know why I can’t play it lol

[@23skidoo46]

I remember seeing WASP around Hollywood back in the early 80's and they were the shit back then. It was the glory days in that area w/bands like Ratt, Great White, Crue and WASP all beginning their big breaks. It'll never be the same again. lol

I didnt know Chris modded his star to be a Tune O matic. Thats the guitar i associate with Chris.. He whips that thing around like its nothing on stage. They should reissue a Star by Jackson with a Tune O Matic

[@linodanese4877]

Why can't Chris and blackie just get along

[@allthecolors6900]

A part of me feels bad for Chris but he has repeatedly said that he was really there to make money; and he didnt care about promos, interviews, etc. If you don't put in the same effort as others in the band, why the F should you reap the same benefits as those who put more work into the project???

[@kathiweaver7392]

Let's hear Chris' view on The Beatles, huh?

[@kathiweaver7392]

"Well, my sister likes em, so I guess that means I do as well," is all I heard.

[@kathiweaver7392]

You bought that one album, you let her have...I bet it was expensive, cost your whole dinner table and a three months past, into years just sitting there. How stupid, but maybe it's an Eno production; Hoorahh! Good choice smellies sister...

[@kathiweaver7392]

I don't really like 'em, I think Ringo does maybe, idk, dc, suck off - eh; Beatle Baster.... (reminds me how much Glover sucks too, yawn, the drama) I wish I was you sweets, man you are u just take wild turns at your friendship baste, and probably stole his c.c, oh nark, baunk! : ) : (

Where can you see that? or just sarcasm?

You should really get to know your producer better; if you're not him.

[@adrian3668]
