@@TheLucidDreamer12 Tom Hunting (drummer) is an original, but I know he was out of the band twice. Gary's technically not an original, but he's appeared on every album.
I love Rainbow , Ritchie Blackmore's is my favorite guitar player haha my favorite stuff from them though is the live stuff when they would play a song for like 15-25 minutes just jamming out , sick stuff
Gary Holt! Just reading about you and others recoup from covid, thank god!! You were a friend of my son Jim Lapin. We lost Jim, Oct 1993. A month or so later you and Exodus and other bands organized a benefit concert for him - meant so much!! Stay well!!
@@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.
@@uome20bukz nobody can really play songs the exact same way as somebody else anyways, everybody has different picking styles, ways of holding a guitar etc. James wouldn’t be able to play the exodus rhythm the same, it would sound like james hetfield playing exodus.
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.
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.
@@billthompson5644 I actually knew that. Blackie said he called Chris Holmes and asked his height and hair color before he asked about his guitar playing. As shallow as it was, Blackie knew that he needed a Hollywood image to make it.
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
Nobody noticed the Lock-Up t-shirt? :D Come on guys! CRUSHING band, great to see some of my all time favorites supporting younger bands this way. You go Gary :D
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.
@@pjket4229 I used to hold it normally then i quit a few years. During that time I became a major alcoholic and got a huge beer gut. So when I got a new guitar I couldn't hold it the same anymore. It sucks bad
"On this episode of Gear Fuckturd, Squirty sits down with Prayer and Exodux waffleist Hairy Bolt, who plays and talks about some of the riffs that have inspired him throughout his career." Cmon guys, check the wording before posting!
Such stupid questions, "What song made you want to play guitar?" "What song did you have to learn first?" who the hell remembers that after decades of playing?
First riffs I remember wanting to learn were master of puppets and the fast riff in this love by pantera. Got my alternate picking down. Can’t believe they downpick master. Nutbags!
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.
vacantplanets lol you have to get your talking points across so badly that you didnt even wait for Scott to make that argument. who said we should ban guns here?
Gary was always an underrated beast
Organized Chaos Absolutely!
Saddly Exodus didn´t did really well after Bonded by blood, so Gary never got too much spotlight.

Thata amazing, sorry for your loss, i hope everythings going well.
the way he's holding the guitar is unsettling, my mind wants it to be a Flying V
Exactly 😂😂
It's an optical illusion, it's actually a V painted to look like a single cut.
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
Jared Branson he did spend quite a long time playing Vs
Lmao it is!!! Its fuckin uncomfortable af to sit down with and play. I own one.
He's got great phrasing, you instantly feel the groove, no drums needed. Like with hetfield, dimebag, gibbons and hendrix.
Brandon Macon gary is a better guitar player then hetfield

Wow he's a big Rainbow fan.. thats awesome, great taste for music boy!
Apparently a my chemical romance fan too.
One of my favourite guitarists
Gary Holt is the man, saw Slayer last week and they are still killing it.
I have seen Gary Holt twice in one night in Vancouver Canada He played 2 sets that night Exodus and Slayer
Such an almost machine-like guitar god. Gary does not even need to look at his guitar to play anything. What a beast.
Years and years of practice 😂
I love the sound of bleeps and pick scratching in the morning.
Ted might be 9' tall, he makes the other guys in the Damn Yankees look like Munchkins.

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

Yeah cringe that he even brought it up.
Exodus is so good. Hell awaits, ride the lightning, bonded by blood= untouchable metal classics
I saw Slayer live, and they are amazing, rip slayer, I cant believe they are retiring
no, they are retiring from touring and making music as slayer
"Sits down with EXODUS and SLAYER" - that's the right order!!!
Love Exodus and Slayer...like how Gary never looks at what he's playing and nails it!
Nobody noticed the Lock-Up t-shirt? :D Come on guys! CRUSHING band, great to see some of my all time favorites supporting younger bands this way. You go Gary :D
Rainbow is so fokkin underrated and bad ass as fuck! Gary likes Uli Roth as well.Roth is an alien space ship.
Right on Ritchie Blackmore is a true musician.
🤣🤣
I don’t align with Gary’s politics either. But he’s a helluva guitar player.
Gary is such an awesome rhythm guitarist. Dude is an absolute machine gun.
his headbanging technique is fucking legendary
Absolute beast! Love both Exodus and Slayer!
Gary holt is my spirit animal
Love Gary. He's Awesome!! 🤟🤟🎸
Lol Gary Holt and Ted Nugent are on the exact opposite ends of the political spectrum
Yep, But as he said, You don't have to believe what he believes to love his music.
Caught one of his guitar picks during Slayers set in July!
Wow a rock star with no ego...

ok
No but it's angle of death. He has said that was the first slayer song that blew him away and still does.
At least they changed the title. And thanks Jeremy, thats what I came here for.

Victor Anselmo I thought Prayer would be funnier than Player like it was written initially 😁
Gary is Badass !!! I bet when he was starting out on guitar as a teenager he sat just like he is in this video all excited about music.. lol
Now I know who Gary Holt reminds me of - Rowdy Roddy Piper!
Trueeeeee
Kevrokk Kills why does he have a bucket of acorns in the back of his car?
Grab a 🍺 and hang out with Gary 🤘🏼
Gary seems like an awesome dude, saw Slayer a few months back and he fucking rips
Such stupid questions, "What song made you want to play guitar?" "What song did you have to learn first?" who the hell remembers that after decades of playing?
pretty cool that gary is a big rainbow fan
This was not what I expected, Ritchie in my opinion wrote his best work in Rainbow
Gary Holt is a LEGEND.
So awesome knowing he has deep rooted love for rainbow 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Turn the amp up!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
The riff Master!
Such a wholesome dude haha
You can’t go wrong with Richie Blackmore
1st Exodus album thrashes AND grooves!
Those beeps are annoying.
Saw them live aug 23rd it was amazing
I hope to see him playing a Hello Kitty guitar now
Ahahaha yes i'm agree....
You can see how much he loved playing Guitar from this interview its almost funny,lol.
He looks like Skwisgaar From Metalocalypse
Lol
A good day to die...
My fav G.holt track🔥🔥🔥
Richie Blackmore 🤘🤘🎸
Gary is the man.
Gary, lift the restraining order so we can hang!
Alright.. Gary's inspirations are some of my favorite bands

Love Gary's playing. Love Ted's playing. Love Ted's Constitutional views.
So constitutional that he shit his pants to avoid the draft 😂😂

Haunting Vital Seconds a little excessive
I haven't seen them once! And the last concert of them in my country was sold out in 5 minutes and I couldn't get tickets....

Gary rocking the Kemper!
I want that fucking guitar
Gary Holt one of the best ever🤘

Well, I'm not saying the video is bad, but it is clickbait
Yea!!! Holt is a Rainbow fan!!
TURN IT UP!!

Love Holt
Gary Holt is 54? Damn......
Gary hotd very cool
Gary holt plays rainbow songs while cursing. Brought to you by loudwire
Uncle Ted is a beast both musically and politically
Not politically ass wipe .
Yeah Scott after we ban guns then we should ban terrorist attacks right because that'll stop all the violence
Politically he just wants to keep the nation free as we know it. The left keep chipping away at our rights slowly turning us into a socialist country

lol you have to get your talking points across so badly that you didnt even wait for Scott to make that argument. who said we should ban guns here?
Isn't that what liberal pukes always want to do?
WAS GARY HOLT IN TOXIC WALTZ?
Gary just rips into a solo while still talking to dude and doesn't miss a note. Lmfao
Several times I should say
Not as advertised 🤦🏻♂️💨
He needs to turn his amp up!!
That's truly interesting. Just one word to the BIG Album : "Bonded by blood" ..? Okay, was another issue here.
I swear to God he's slowly metamorphosing into Cronos from Venom.
