Exodus / Slayer's Gary Holt - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?

[@kfunkkillah4280]

Gary Holt is seriously the most humble and down to Earth guitarist on the planet.

[@vannacee26]

As is Kirk. Probably the reason why they're besties.

[@robpace881]

Gary was speaking in a guitar clinic and said I'm not really that good.. Then Melted everyone's face off.

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

John Petrucci is more humble I think. r

[@malakisands8180]

Johnny 5 is damn humble to. I was at a bar in Irvine Texas seeing a local band, Dimebag was I. The Audience and asked to play, of course that guitarist let Dime play. We drank Black Tooth Grin

[@Bunnytoes666]

Yah Holy Eff! New tidbit for me! Kirk's only a few years older too....to think that Gary went from "greenhorn" to "Gawd Level" in a short span......he prolly would have been an awesome physicist or something otherwise! Haha

[@Bunnytoes666]

Also, blew me away that Dukes was a guitar tech too - that threw me - too bad Exodus dumped him via text "apparently" - he must have fucked up hard somehow.

[@elcoollow5955]

And Kirk Hammets teacher was Joe Satriani

[@blucu001]

@Tyler Vincent That, and it sounds like he wanted Exodus to make a more hardcore leaning record whereas Gary is more metal leaning. And since Gary's the defacto leader, what he says go.

[@christineblack4654]

@@elcoollow5955 hahaha ok that's just stupid. Kirk was already amazing and had the best albums out before taking those few lessons lol he just went to Joe to learn more and different stuff. omg people are so stupid. Randy roads for exemple Ozzy said he would always be learning new shit and took lessons by the best town teacher in every town they went. See when your rich you can do that.

[@BigJackGameplays]

When Holt became a Slayer member I was really sad, I didn't know the guy and it felt like Slayer had Hanneman replaced. With the years I started appreciating Holt more and more...without him Slayer couldn't continue, and as a fan I feel like that's what metal's about.

[@deathcampmarch]

Jeff did pick him

[@jansandman6983]

Slayer is already retired. So.

[@cheferic6969]

Dude Jeff and Gary were beat friends, also he didn't replace him, Jeff was very sick then passed away. Gary was the only name in the hat per Jeff's request. And it is the correct and only answer. Gary Holt is metal. Search Gary holt on a cruise ship in ahurricae. If you can find a more metal moment on earth i will eat my hat and 100 more.

TRUE STORY: When I was in the Air Force I went to a mall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and they had a music store with nothing but bootleg cassette tapes. LOL I saw Exodus 'Bonded By Blood', and I shit you not, because of the super-strict Muslim laws over there regarding showing of the body, the 2 babies on the cover of the album had clothes literally drawn on them with a marker!!! It was hilarious! It was crazy - if there was still room left on the tape, they would just throw some other random band on there to fill it up...

[@enigmaticbeing7703]

Dude thats crazy lol

[@Djinn_Disfigurement]

I live in Saudi and I blast Exodus and other stuff loudly in the car and at home. I also wear my Tempo of the Damned t-shirt that I got when I saw Exodus in Virginia in 2007. Now Saudi is much less strict, Exodus can come play here without any problem as long as there is no blasphemy in the lyrics. I'm a Moroccan thrasher and black metal head.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

@@Djinn_Disfigurement wow, that's awesome!! Glad to see things have mellowed out somewhat over there. My roommate was over there on his rotation & someone threw a pipe bomb over the wall of the hotel where all the foreign military people stayed right as they were all filing out to get on the buses that took us to Prince Sultan Airbase each morning/night(we worked 12 hour shifts 7 days a week)... he was pretty shook up afterwards! He said they went running back inside while there were chunks of concrete raining down... pretty bad stuff.

[@Djinn_Disfigurement]

@@TonyHookedonVanlife that's sick. Fortunately now, MBS has destroyed all the roots of extremism, so it's pretty safe in here now and much more relaxed. The metal community is almost non existent but I'm pretty sure it's possible to play gigs in compounds where expats live.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

@@Djinn_Disfigurement I am happy to hear that. Everyone deserves a safe & peaceful life.

The most Underrated Metal Guitarist of all time. Gary Holt blows my mind. He's such an amazing Riff God. This interview reveals how humble he is. Fuck this guy is awesome. I hope he keeps melting faces with the riff's he writes with Exodus. It's no wonder Slayer chose him to step in.

[@dennisthemenace5466]

I met Gary in 89 on the Mtv Headbangers ball tour. I met a really cool Navajo who got me stoned then we played stickball with Exodus,anthrax and helloween at the Utah State Fair park. One of the best days of my life!!!

I’ve always though Rob Dukes was a very strong addition to Exodus when he joined. Zetro I didn’t feel was fit and Paul may he rest in peace. His vocals were powerful and unique and a great fit for the band and excellent in Generation Kill, but I still think Exodus should bring Rob back.
