Holt is such a legend. Seems like a genuine nice guy
metal musicians are usually the coolest fuckin musicians on Earth.
Jazz guys are snobbish and get excited over random note soup.
Country guys are pretty ok, but prone to wanting to fight when beer is added.
Rap shows are the most violent.
I ran shows for years, and metal, which is my fav music anyways, was always the best time with the least amount of drama or violence happening.
I can't remember who it was, but had to shut down a rap show once. I want to say it Was Project Pat, whom stayed in his bus the entire show, let his crew do his music, he came in, did ONE song, went back out, the crowd wasn't having it. Fights, broken glass etc
My wife organised a Cameo message from Gary for Christmas in 2021. He made it really personal, mentioned my wedding which was last year and all sorts. So if you somehow read this, thank you Gary.
🤘
Holt has the best guitar tone in all metal , way superior to anybody period , im 50 , holt is best hands down
Gary is the EVH of thrash! His riffs are insane!
YUP!
Absolutely true !!!
Gary is just like that cool friend you have that can talk about anything and it won’t bother him. 😎
What a HUMBLE legend of a dude!
Gary is the best metal guitarist from back in the day!
So humble
Holt had the sickest tone on the Exodus, Testament, Death Angel tour last year. Nice to hear how he got that sound outta the Jubilee.
One of the most humble and down to earth players in the industry. 🤘🏾
Fuk yeah he’s awesome person
I want to see Gary and Jeff Waters do a project together. These guys rule!
🤘🤘🤘 Hearing Gary cheering about our PdeQ pedal made our day! :D
I just ordered one from your store on Reverb tonight because of this video , LoL
Gary Holt wrote so many great thrash riffs over the years! He seems like a great guy as well, very cool
👍
Are you aware of Dethklok? "I was on Dethklok!" Shit, I forgot about that too!
What a great guy to chill with for an hour. Thanks Diablo Guitars! 🤘
Him and Kerry King should get Band together.
Gary is hilarious. He is like a cool uncle.
Riff legend...and really nice guy!
Man, I wish they would play Verbal Razors live. It's in my top 5 Exodus songs ever. I'm sure that song is a MF for Zetro to belt out at his age. Same with Fabulous Disaster and Last Act of Defiance.... those 3 songs off of FD are beasts to do vocals to. I remember getting the cassette when it released back in the day and sitting there with the small lyrics card and playing songs over and over until I memorized every lyric. I can still belt them out somewhat today lol
Verbal Razors is my go to Exodus song!
Been playing that since I was 17! 50 now!
Now this audio is killer! I hear everything Gary is doing. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
He had me at BLACKMORE! I knew there was a reason why he's my favorite thrash metal guitarist 🎸
I own the Gary Holt Schecter Blood Splatter V. Gary always had cool fucking guitars
What a top bloke Gary is, so gracious and humble, funny too
Gary is awesome
Gary is such a cool and nice guy. My friends and I got to hang with him and the band on Eodus's tour bus after a show last year. He talked to us for awhile and let us get pictures with him even though it was late and it was a long 3 band show. Mark from Death Angel invaded the bus later on and he was hilarious. That was the first time I got to meet any musicians and I've been a metal fan my whole life!
Garry put new life in to Slayer, as a big Slayer fan I appreciated him kicking ass in Slayer
Was watching Gary Holt on Diablo guitars UA-cam video. If you see this and still have back pain, problems. Look for Sara Meeks exercises on UA-cam, or a Therapist that uses her method. I'm a Physical Therapist and use her protocol. My back pain went quickly gone with her exercises. I apply it daily in my practice. Go for it.
Essentially no contra indications because uses isometric exercises
my hero🤟
This is so great! Thx for posting
this is pure gem thank you
5:09 I love when he does that
Being told "Come on up" by Gary Holt - wow!
Thanks for sharing
This is great. I love that someone brought some alcohol free beer for Gary - he comes across as a top man and was happy to answer some really good questions from the audience. Looking forward to that book…. 👍🏻
This was awesome
Only 17 min of AMA and already learn a lot (this persona non grata and verbal razors riffs made my day :D), really one of the greatest thrasher ever. Hell love Exodus!!! Thx for the clinic!
Holt is my spirit animal.
We need this closer contact with guitar heroes, here in Brazil
Gary Holt is such a cool , funny and humble guy in real life. He was the obvious choice to play in Jeff Hanneman’s spot in Slayer he already had the cred with the fans and really did an incredible job with Slayer. All the metalheads around and me included were very happy to hear he was the one to play in Jeff’s place 🤘🏻seen Slayer 5x live -3times with Jeff and 2x with Gary. He definitely did Jeff proud 100%. Even fans that didn’t know from sight who he was live when I saw him with Slayer the first time were very happy when I told them exactly who he was and Exodus is where he comes from they were like oh shit that’s really cool 👍🏻😎 he’s the perfect guy to do it straight out of the gate! So awesome to see he is such a friendly and fun guy in person who loves being around the fans wherever he can. Also cool he is willing to share his personal tips / tricks and anything else you can think to ask him “even the stuff he shouldn’t show us !” 🤭 as well as being quite funny too !😊 keep on having fun doing your thing brother we are all here for it dude! 👍🏻
You Rule Gary 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
One of the coolest down to earth dudes. I wish I could even play guitar, but enjoy watching the technique. 🤘
2 times I seen exodus man thanks to the band
This is awesome 😎🤘🏻
Thanks Gary, you are a GUITAR GOD. So down to earth, so cool and interactive, loves the NFL👍 Riff Master 🤘. Exodus is the greatest thrash band IMO🤘🤘🤘🤘. Seriously, now almost 60, the man is immortal and one of the greatest guitarists of all time, both Rythm and Lead. 1 word 🤘GENIUS🤘. We Love you Gary. Keep pumping this stuff. A walking living encyclopedia of riffs. SOOOOOO COOOOOOL and down to earth. Legend. And love how he plays the budget LTD version. True Ambassador on every level.
Really appreciate Gary .
That tone 😳😳😳😳🥵🥵🥵🥵
Happy Gary started off with Deathamphetamine, that’s one of my top 5 Exodus songs 🤘
What a genuine sweet guy from metal Gods era.loved his songs ❤🤘🏻
LEGEND
Verbal razors🎉❤
First of all that was sweet thank you diablo Guitars for Broadcasting this! I'd be all over the ESP V If it didn't have a Trem I know I know but i'm not a Trem player. Since my first Japanese strat Boohoo...Maybe some day but until then I got a Jackson Rhodes V MJ incoming soon.
Such a cool laidback dude
I want that Gary tone. Squishy, tight, string definition, heavy. Everything I want.
*KILLER* .*CATER*
Verbal Razors🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
awesome tone 🤘 Exodus in my top 10 Metal Bands
Exodus - greatest thrash metal band ever!
I gave a demo CD of my band to Exodus' manager during a show (I wanted to toss it at Gary) and they let me go backstage (me and other 4-5 guys). They gave us drinks and snacks and then the band came. All of them were super cool, especially Rob Dukes, he might look tough, but he's super sweet and great with the fans! Well, Gary was amazing as well, I don't know if he even heard my CD, but we had fun.
Then I met him again when he was touring with Slayer and again, super cool dude. He was wearing a shirt that said 'vegans will be shot' haha, I didn't want to tell him that I was a vegan. Good times 😂
gary is the nice guy of metal
STRIKE OF THE WIG!!!!!
Dave grohl aka Gary Holt.
My favorite amp is the 6105 Peavy.... i own 2 with a couple marshal 2x12 cabinets.
Thos is so cool
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
All I want to know is what was the question about Rick Hunolt!
Dude, I never would have EVER thought metal guys I looked up to growing up, would eventually be in videos on a website like YT, teaching us shit we once would have to some how track the guy down in person, and hope we oculd ask at a show or something.
I remember driving 6 hours when i was 16 to ask Jack Owen a guitar question at a cannibal Corpse show.
Not only did he answer, but he showed me some things with his travel rig.
Gary is an amazing guitarist,metal god!!the only man who could fill in for Jeff hannerman and pull it off.poor Kerry king has to live with being the second best guitarist in slayer,both lineups..lol
I used to think that but Kerry took care of himself over the years and can still play the same as he was in his twenties, Jeff struggled to keep up towards the end from what I’ve read. I read there were songs Kerry wrote that Jeff couldn’t play live ( Rob Flynn talked about it)
@@whitebread940 Not surprising. People love to shit on Kerry but he's a much better musician than people give him credit for.
@@metalthrashingai2238I'd say he's a better guitarist than most say, not so much better musician
frekin Gary is cool!! lol especially the signature guitar question lol
Came for the riffs stayed for the personality
39:57 "and then there were none" intro/verse riff
NB : been playing this riff wrong this whole time haha :)
No one ever asked him if he still had Bernie Rico Jr. guitars (and he had a lot of them) and if he was playing something from the "Impact..........." or "Force of Habit" Albums. ..
All the best to Nick Barker!!!!!
Force of Habit has aged so well. I liked the album when it came out, while most panned it.... but now, it has grown on me even more. Impact has always been amazing. Exodus never got the real credit they deserved imo. They should be mentioned with Megadeth and Slayer and have that kind of sales power.
I thought his Vixen was badass!
Probably. It's all about sponsorship when in public. I have one and it's one of two main guitars.
@@pleasuretokillpersonally I think Pump It Up and Bitch were poor choices for covers compared to Lowrider and Overdose off Fabulous but the rest of Force of Habit slays!
@@alexmay3659 I lump Low Rider in with Pump it Up and Bitch actually. I think all 3 are pretty bad. Overdose being the only one of the 4 that is good.
You know you are badass when a legend like Gary Holt calls you (Hetfield) "The best ever"
He's being very self deprecating coz he's one of the most technically accomplished guitarists out there.
More Angus than Pertucci lol
Oh man, I've never heard him speak. He sounds just like The Dude! XD
Riff Machine
“I do have hearing aids, thank you Slayer”
Lmao, classic
That LTD V guitar totally destroys the Les Paul style LTD.
What was the last thing he played?
Who is Gary Holt , what band t shirt 👶🎤🙏
Napalm > Nuclear Blast (at the moment!)
hahaha his tshirt
HOLT!!!
Gary isn’t to good at this guitar thing eh? Lol I kid, the guy’s my favorite thrash guitarist & one of my all time favorites! 🤘🤘🤘 Exodus rules! 🤘🤘🤘
Gary holt looks like Rachel Ray
bring Rob back on vocals
Songs 31:00 - 32:30 ?
🙂
no fucking way this dude is 59
What type of soda is that?? I just am particularly really interested in the soda. Is it lime? I must have one. It's not real is it? Damn! Well I'll just drink uh, beer. Can I get a beer. Thx.
🍺
What if Gary holt replaced Dave Mustang in Metallica instead of kirk
Verbal Razors. Everybody wants that song played live. Dump the over played songs and add it to the setlist.
Verbal Razors, Braindead, Parasite, Fabulous Disaster, Thrash Under Pressure, Sealed with a Fist....oh man, it's such a long, never ending list of forgotten songs that need to return back to their setlist!
His voice sounds exactly like somebody and its driving me mad who it is
Lmao someone in the crowd tried to challenge Gary’s opinion of Hetfield being the best rhythm player to ever do it and he just ignored the fuck out of him and kept talking and playing.
😏🤣😉😊
Casually sets beer on expensive amp.
where the hell do you set your beer?
@@warshipsatin8764 on my amp.
Фреду не скидывайте, пожалуйста
can this guy play or what?????killer?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude's is 59 ffs. Thrash keeps him young !
And STILL not one fucking ballad ever!!!!!
He would do much better than zakk wylde in pantera
Just after the hour mark gary is shredding some exodus and a woman in the FRONT has her head down on her phone( possibly) and completely obscures garys left hand .... pay attention and stop blocking shit!!!
Went to one of his clinics in Pittsburgh a few years ago. He had to start talking liberal non sense putting down Trump and Ted Nugent...kinda ruined it a bit. Decided I didn't need to stick around and meet him.
@ronsperski7132 Dude, you seriously get this offended if your favorite artist has different opinions than you? LOL I don't agree with Tom Araya, Dave Mustaine or Steve Zetro Souza of Exodus when it comes to their politics, yet I still support their music and I still respect them as people. Gary's an artist and artists have the right to their own political views like the rest of us.
If an artist's personal views ruin your day, then maybe art isn't a medium for you.
@@TheMrHavish My right to disagree and walk away also. Brought Nugent up as an influence then turned into a political talk. He can have his opinion.
@@TheMrHavish Didn't say it it ruined my day. Ruined the clinic a little bit.
@@ronsperski7132 You're aware three of the OTHER guys in Exodus (Zetro, Jack Gibson and Lee Altus) are conservatives, right? If Gary can get along with his Republican bandmates, then I think his fans can accept his differing opinions too.
@@TheMrHavish I could care less about Exodus or Slayer. Just saw a free guitar clinical and it was on my way home. I'm good bro,don't worry 😟 😰
