I sincerely appreciate Gary Holt’s talent and for stepping up and helping Slayer. He is the perfect person for that job. His work with exodus is superb. I wish you health, success and lots of peace.

[@fredriksvard2603]

He's got great phrasing, you instantly feel the groove, no drums needed. Like with hetfield, dimebag, gibbons and hendrix.

[@scribeofsolace]

@PJ Ket okay AND?

[@uome20bukz]

@pjket4229at leads yeah, but not at rhythm. Gary would never have been able to play Metallica’s riffs the way Hetfield did on the albums. Especially Blackened and Dyers Eve. I’m sure Gary could have played those songs. But not the way Hetfield did. Only Hetfield can play them the way Hetfield did. Even Gary says Hetfield is probably the best rhythm guitarist out there.

[@Guttszerk]

Wow he's a big Rainbow fan.. thats awesome, great taste for music boy!

[@benjaminsmith6674]

Apparently a my chemical romance fan too.

[@Chicosweet666]

[@jaredbranson7060]

the way he's holding the guitar is unsettling, my mind wants it to be a Flying V

[@destianpatrianagara1119]

Exactly 😂😂

[@Stephen_Eee]

It's an optical illusion, it's actually a V painted to look like a single cut.

[@williamspetter2823]

He probably just likes having his neck more upright, plus with his back being fked up he probably does that so he isn't hunched over at all

I have seen Gary Holt twice in one night in Vancouver Canada He played 2 sets that night Exodus and Slayer

[@kencoakley3959]

I met Gary back in 1988. Exodus were playing with M.O.D. He was really cool.. just like he doesn't agree with Nugent's politics, I don't agree with Gary's but I, too, can separate music from the politics and it is my opinion that he is one of the best Metal (not just Thrash) guitarists today. G

[@80nighttime]

Yeah cringe that he even brought it up.

[@123slowdown]

I love the sound of bleeps and pick scratching in the morning.

[@ukulelelifelessons1746]

Sure glad he had his amp up loud enough to hear those riffs over the sound of the pick.

[@twimine]

Lol Gary Holt and Ted Nugent are on the exact opposite ends of the political spectrum

[@Sarvlosify]

Yep, But as he said, You don't have to believe what he believes to love his music.

[@billthompson5644]

Ted might be 9' tall, he makes the other guys in the Damn Yankees look like Munchkins.

[@afrocoolio25]

He actually is not really tall. Just his appearance in the 70s made him a larger than life figure. A band that was tall: Kiss. Every member of the original Kiss lineup, Ace, Peter, Gene, Peter, were all *over* 6' tall. With their height without boots and makeup, it did make them unrecognizable. Most people thought that they were not actually tall guys.

[@lancifers5.047]

Gary Holt is thee reason I played guitar and became addicted to thrash metal.86 down in my cousins basement after we got back from the record store and I was curious about this kinda chaotic song titles to seeing the song Piranha/No Love. It was the first song I played and Piranha blew me away. Holt and Exodus is what changed my life and buying mixed tapes with anything Exodus and it kept building and building. Thee best riffer period is Holt.Watching him play and how he interacts with the crowd is amazing and still thrashing his body while playing live and the fact he never looks to see where to play,the dude is a cyborg.

[@LosBombero]

Squiggy's first question........I hit pause and was going to comment with a 'Ted Nugent joke' before Gary's answer........only to have Gary start immediately talking about Ted Nugent !! Kirk Hammett references Ace Frehley as an influence, so inspiration comes from wherever it comes from. Steve Harris (Iron Maiden boss) favorite album is Genesis' FOXTROT.

You’d think, what with video coming from a music company that they’d be able to mix the sound so that the guitar was properly audible. Same happened with the Bostaph drum video. Loads of cool content but virtually unlistenable. Bostaph might as well still have been those pillows he had as a kid.

[@thedunwichhorror4334]

For Gary to make it a point to say he doesn't like Teds politics is in itself a political statement while trying to act like it's not. I don't like all of Ted's politics and never did like his music but I do like that he at least sticks to his beliefs and makes no bones about them. At least he doesn't try to act like by not agreeing he isn't overtly making a huge political statement. Anyway..love Gary's playing and Slayer!!!

To all the people whining about Gary not liking Ted Nugent’s opinions, he has just as much of a right to say that as Ted himself does. After all, they both have the same occupation. It doesn’t even take a hardcore leftist to understand that Ted’s a crazy loudmouth. Just ask my dad, who happens to be a registered republican and thinks he’s an idiot.
