It's great to see Rick doing so well and making music that excites him. He was always my favourite thrash guitarist because he played melodic lines with feel. The way he complimented Holt's more technical playing was so unique in that genre. Absolute king.

[@ChuckShute]

Definitely! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@scottperrin9655]

100%...His lead tone was and still is fantastic. Neck PU, really clean sounding, just a very unique tone inside of the Thrash genre.

[@whitebread940]

Much respect to Rick giving up Exodus to be alive for his kids. The new DieHumane track is SIC! Such a painful, soulful solo he adds to it. Happy for him.

[@ChuckShute]

Yes! Agree with all of that! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻

Hey Rick this is Rich from the North shore town you don't care for very much lol. I just found out about a mutual friend of ours that I was starting to jamn with I sold him the white charvel. I am shell shocked....... Diehumane fucking grows on you it's very different and I like it. Heard about it from our friend at the recycling shop at the casino!!!
