Chris Holmes is the kind of rock start we need. Someone who can rip an amazing solo and enjoy an ice cream cone. God bless this man!
hell yeah mrs smith
When Chris left WASP..He took the sound of the band with him..Not the same since he left.
Amen to that! 🙏😎
I was thinking the same way you are about Chris!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍
a rock start
Long live the Mean Man! He battled cancer and won. And now is back to tear shit up!!!
"Let It Roar"
- goes fishing
- sips his coffee
- eats ice cream cone
- plunks some piano keys
- gives doggie a snack
- lounges on the couch
- looks at the waves
- looks through tourist high-powered binoculars
......and for whatever reason I really like this video
Nothing wrong with that, ive alwayz like chris with or without wasp....♪♫♪♫♎☠\m/☠♎♫♪♫♪=^-^=☠♎ KC3AGI =^-^= O.C. Rebel♎☠=^-^=♪♫♪♫♎☠\m/☠♎♫♪♫♪
@Dave Muller Oh yes I digs me some old-school Wasp definitely.
You forgot "vapes"
I think hes the only dude out there that can still look like a badass rockin a vape....or eating an ice cream cone....fuckin give'r
@@willloveless9327 haha you know it brother....and it's so great to see Chris out there still doing it. True rock warrior.
rock n roll :)
Chris your work with WASP for me personally is everything. Your trademark guitar sound and solos made a huge mark on my life as teenager and still does. Rock on Bra!
It's good to see you're still in the game. I always thought you were the best guitarist W.A.S.P. ever had.
Rob Valine Thanks Rob
+Chris Holmes
Hey, Chris! As a fan(and a young, aspiring guitarist and singer), i'm glad you're still out there doin' stuff, but while i support you doing your thing, i got a few things to point out.
1.The song idea is cool, it's got a lot of drive and it's very honest, but it feels underdeveloped and is sloppy at times(mainly at some parts of the guitar solo).
It will be better, if you work on the lyrics and vocal melodies some more, and redo the drums, because most of the fills(especially between verses) are overplayed.
The song's NOT bad in itself, i like it, it reminds me of Animal(Fuck Like A Beast) with all that classic Mean Man vibe all the way through. But still, it could be better.
2. Your singing. I like the tone of your voice(you kinda remind me of Lemmy of Motorhead and that's a cool thing), but you should consider getting a good vocal coach, 'cause you lack vocal technique and pitch control.
You've been a guitarist all your life, not a singer after all.
I hope you'll eventually read this and not get mad over the critique, cause i'm a fan, and i mean well, after all.
I don't have the experience you have, but i had to point this out, cause you can do better. Rock on!
Your fan,
Ron
+Rock N Roll Party Music
I agree with the fun part. Today's rock'n'roll tends to lack the fun aspect.
+Ron Rocker It does remind you of Animal in the beginning, just slower.
+Ron Rocker LIKEWISE!
"Get ready for a decibel shower" This one sounds great live. Huge guitar with some actual tone and attitude.
Nice work Chris.
Best fucking line in the song!
How can you dislike this video? This is an instant classic with attitude, rock spirit and humour all merged into one. Two thumbs up.
Its all about Passion. Thanks to Chris Holmes, my passion has returned and I'm recording again. Say what you will, but this is raw, pure metal! Thank you sir!
He seems to be having a great time, he seems to be happy, and trying to spread some positive vibes around. To me, he succeeds. That's all that matters.
Nothing says positive vibes like the number of times the phrase "fuck off" is used, along with the middle finger, and the picture of Manson.
@@lintboy2000 you are right hahahahahaha XD
I love that huge sounding old school guitar tone. Great to see you still doing what you do Chris.
This is the greatest music video I have ever seen in my entire life.
Im listening WASP over 20 years and first time its sounds amaizing like today and im so glad that Chris is a live and he is a good.It s a pity Blackie loses Chris and Randy it was amaising crew.CHRIS MY MAN MY LONG TIME HERO I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST ALL GOD HEALTH IN THE WORLD ALL GOOD FORTUNE AND THANKS U MEAN MAN FOR ALL.IM SO GLAD U STIL ROAR.GREATINGS FROM SMEDEREVO FUCKIN SERBIA.
I Believe Chris writes his music for himself not caring what others think!!! Awesome Chris keep rocking!!!
Chris write all his music and lyrics ...Thank you :)
I meant Chris writes for himself!!! Not caring what others think
***** That is true !!!!... He is who he is and don't play games ... Thank you for your words !!!!
Great to see you back at it. Good tunes. CHEERS!
I don't know what it is about this song, but the more times I listen to it, the more I enjoy it. Nice job Chris.
Agree 100%. What a great performance here. Chris really rocks hard.
Watched the doc on Prime last night and I'm so happy that you're sober and still rocking! Guitar tone still sounds killer, too.
There is no wasp without Chris Holmes. You’re badass man. Thanks for all the jams.
This one is the real deal, the vocals are raw, rough, they translate years of vodka, smoke, and Rock&Roll ))) The guitar tone is awesome too. I don't know why Holmes reminds me of Mickey Rourke!!
Anyway, cheers from Morocco to the last man of his kind, Mr Chris Holmes
Love it !! Video is incredible, very visual showcasing the Chris Holmes Rocking and nice songwriting too. Can't wait to see more videos.
This proves what I've said all along. Chris Holmes was the SOUND of W.A.S.P. period. And I just happen to dig it.
Chris Holmes, you've always been one of my favorite guitarists and after all these years you're still an inspiration to me, man! Your tone, riffs and solos are always instantly recognizable, you are a legend.
You've overcome so much and now you're sober with a good wife at your side and living in beautiful France, free to make more kick ass heavy metal music that sets my blood afire with every listen. You've been one of my heroes since the very beginning of WASP and I thank you for it! I'm 46 now and it makes this old man happy to see you doing so well. Cheers!
Absolutely love the Holmes guitar sound. Its what made me a wasp fan in the 80's and its still just as good today.
Holy shit I fucking love this song!! Chris rules!!!! I got to play with Chris and Randy with Animal back in 2003 in Youngstown, my band Metalourd opened the show for them, I've always loved your playing Chris , you've been a huge influence on me since I was a kid. Great to see you're doing well and kicking ass brother!!!!
Chris Holmes lives and breathes hard rock and heavy metal... A true free spirit...
This track is not only bad-ass, but it's from one of the TRUE REBELS in the scene! Rock on bro.
His guitar sound since early W.A.S.P..is still here. This is a great song. It's W.A.S.P. 1984 style!!!
Good to see you in great form Mean Man. One of my guitar heroes growing up. Rock on big man.
looking forward to seeing your documentary Chris. Rock on and come back to Edinburgh again soon! x
Jeepers. Some people need to understand that not all musical expression is serious or deals with heavy emotion. Sometimes its just a blast to make. You go Chris, and if you ever need a guest solo from an electric ukulele player, hit me up! LET IT ROAR!
I don't care what anyone says as this is awesome rock n roll and nothing more. WASP was never the same after Chris left and this music tells you why. Keep rocking Chris !!!
You gotta love Chris Holmes , what a character! so good to see him happy in his new life.
awesome man I seen W,A,S,P in 1985 the last command tour in Phoenix Az,
Chris "let it roar" is awesome! Thanks for sharing this incredible song with us!
The real deal from the real mean man ....we love him because he stands for the underdogs the real metal fans......long life to you brother..
Chris, I'm so glad you're back and rocking! Your guitar tone is still the same one that blew my mind back when I listened to WASP. I wish you the best of luck and may the metal gods shine upon you again!
Holy shit!!!!! Did I just hear that????? Fuck yeah, I knew chris wouldn't let a hard core fan like myself down. This is the real deal. I wouldn't go as far as to say he's back, because he never went away. But I will say this, he has always been creative song writing machine. He just had to get back with the right people. And he has done just that. Fuck yeah chris, "let it roar"!!!!!!!
Still the best show I ever saw in my life at the Troubadour in 1982. His voice reminds me of El Duce from the Mentors. Glad to see he's still around.
Chris this rips, brings me back to the better days of rock. Glad to see your still playing the Jackson!! Love it.
One of the most gifted guys I ever grew up to. I loved Chris and his technique and his uncompromising approach to guitar playing
Awesome tune! I am glad that 80s heavy metal is still around for people like me who weren't there in the 80s.
When he comes to the netherlands I hope I can see him live.
I met him last week. A fucking great guy. Humble, nice and open. And most of all. A true rockn rooller! Greatings from Norway and Lillestrøm, Chris!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
This song RULES!!! My 5 old son makes me play it over and over again. He loves it as much as I do. We love you Chris! Get better soon, you are gonna kick cancer in the ass, you are gonna beat this! God bless you
Great tune Chris. Awesome guitar playing as always. Your guitar tone always stood out among all the guitar players from 80s.
Happy to see you again my friend!Let it roaaarrrrrr!!!
Chris, that was bad ass! after seeing many bands, your show in December 84 at the rainbow is still my favorite! you still kick ass brother, thanks!
So awesome to see you are still doing what you love Chris. This is one of the most metal songs I've heard in awhile. It has that uncompromising attitude that's been missing in mainstream modern 'rock and metal' outfits, and if people can't take it, too damn bad. You do you brother!
Wow I found this by accident and now I'm all lit up!! There's something about Chris Holmes that lights everything up like a xmas tree. I could watch that dude shred chops thru a practice amp or read out of the phone book and it's the raddest thing I've seen in WEEKS. I don't know what it is, he's just got some kind of 'it' factor.
LET-IT-ROAR.. it sounds like I hear A-NI-MAL !
Which is what you are Chris, a beast ! Your my bro mean man!
rock guitar and fishing! cant get any cooler than those two! glad to see Chris back and rockin out!
thank god hes back some good ole vibes and stage volume thank you chris thank you
This music really has the spirit and sound that has been missin for a good 25 years.
M J it's been missing for a reason...lol
You GOT that RIGHT
Vicious guitar player with killer tone. One of my all time favorites.
That's R'N'R ! Welcome to France, Chris !
Chris is bringing us back the music Blackie was denying us \m/
Hey Chris. Good to here you still shredding the axe. Your style is unsurpassed, raw and loud. Loving it man. Hope to see you again one day my friend. Had some good times back in the day. Keep rockin' never stop. Mean Man back for the attack.
Man, that Jackson Rhoads is a road warrior with some mojo! Love it! Good stuff Chris! Playing guitar and fishing are two of my favorite things. Glad you're still out there playing for fun and enjoying life. Keep it up!
After listening to this about twenty times, I had to grab the download from Amazon. Looking forward to getting the full album. Love it.
I love everything about this video. Every freakin' cut.
Good old fucking Heavy Metal with balls, fun and kick ass solo and chorus !
Good to see you back Chris ! Fun to see you're not too far from me (I live in Belgium) ! What a change it must have been for you :)
Fuck yeah, rocking and vaping. Good to see. Stay healthy and stay with us Chris.
This song kicks ass! It is so good to see Chris Holmes back playing. His guitar sound is always awesome which is why W.A.S.P. kicked so much ass back in the day. Keep on rockin Chris!
nobody has the guts to rock like this anymore....hey blackie you listening!!!!
Catherine, please tell Chris that this rocks! Love the vibe, I wouldn't change a thing!!
I will :)..Thank you so much Steve
You can't beat a old diehard rocker jamming out.
Love the song and the video...glad your kicking ass my brother...Donnie Lawless
Best video I have seen in 20 years!!!
great song, great LP! I fully understand the humour in this video, if any was ever intended :D. and it's still heavy enough,just like the music! love it! to me he seems a lil bit more sober recently, enjoying life, and the french riviera is the perfect place to be at when you're in that period. (well..if you can afford it...:D ) a lot of my best friends love this LP and the previous one too! please, make that T-shirt! ;)
Very cool and that heavy classic sound, unique timeless stuff. One of a kind Holmes no shit attitude.
Well, to my surprise, he's still got the hair. Glad to see that this guy continues rockin.
Chris is actually a really good metal guitarist, and there's a certain swagger in this song's solo where the "touch" of the notes is actually pretty hard to replicate. For example, the last 13-14 seconds of this solo (when he's sort of just outro-ing out of it), there's a certain feel and touch to the notes that's just totally "Chris" and only Chris.
Chris, damn it's great to see you playing and releasing new stuff again bro! I been listening since 1985. I hope you are well, and happy. I look forward to hearing new stuff from you soon! You and Zakk Wylde have been the two biggest influences on my own guitar playing style. Much love and respect...
Chris. I've been a fan since 1984. This is good stuff. It sounds really good through a set of headphones and cranked up really loud. Thanks for the jams.
Chris is a real man. Respect from Russia, we love you.
A way underrated guitarplayer! This video is 200 % Rock n roll like it should be. Pure, original!!!
Well done Chris, fuck all the haters. What you are doing is what you love and it comes from the heart. The riff and guitar tone is exactly what WASP does not have anymore and would die to have. Keep on rocking!
The thud of that double bass takes me back to the time when we used to make fun of bands that only had a single..rock on dude.
Thank you Chris for all the great music in the past and in the present. The new album is great !!!!! ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!
What's wrong with some of you guys?? This song/video is just pure rock n' roll and attitude. If you're looking for pretentious posers, just go post your negative comments somewhere else...
Chris Holmes rocks and this video kicks ass!!
Right on! The comments for once on a video are relevant. Metal Rockers get it... poser don't... they are "critics"
@@YogaArmy did you just use the word "poser" unironically?
Usually the people who use the word "poser" are the ones who are most concerned about what someone looks or sounds like. Which kind of makes them the poser.
@@Fektthis you said it too^^
Don't know why i'm listening this song again and again, but i really like it!)
Holy Shit!!!! This is great!! I always liked Chris Holmes and wondered if he was still creating music. This is Awesome!!!!
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen
In the '80's Heavy Metal was great , had great bands, great shows and badass Chris Holmes and he destroyed everyone. Still my favorite heavy Metal guitarist ever . This song jams and so does the album
78,620 views right now. Just watch, that number will grow beyond his wildest dreams. You are witnessing a viral video in the making. You know why? Because the video AND the song are amazing beyond explanation.
VERY obvious where the heaviness of WASP came from! 🤘 Great job, Chris! Rock on brotha! 👊
good to see you respond to comments chris. i always liked your playing.
Yes brother! Also digging the new documentary movie all the way from here in Memphis. Rock On, I still do and I've been playing since 1973. Them guitars and amps are my lithium...
Playing the piano and feeding a dog... Every rocker has a soft side! Love the song-- straight-up, no frills rock and roll! \,,/
I clicked on this out of curiosity... Holy shit! This kicks some major ass! I wondered what he was up to. Now I know. A friend, who says he knows Chris, told me he now lives in France. Wonder if that's true. Anyway, glad to hear something from him especially since it kicks ass!
***** I don't know who is your friend and if he knows Chris or not but yes we are in France when we are not on the road ..For now Chris is in rehearsal with his band and his first show in Nantes for the release of his second album ...Thank you Jason for your words and hope to see you one day in the road !!!
Catherine Holmes His name is Mike. We both live in Southwest Florida. He's got a pic of him and Chris together but who knows? Maybe it was from a show or something and he likes to boast. But it's great to hear Chris is doing well and clearly cranking out some good tunes! Sending some love and devil horns from Fort Myers, Florida! \m/
You know Stet then ? Mike i suppose must be our friend Mickael Grossi ...Please give a hug to both of them .. a big one ok :)..and send me a email at csarahholmesmanagement@gmail.com with your address please :)
Will do! I'll hug him too. He might think I'm weird but whatever. Ha ha.
you are my fav guitarist, , love the new music,, let if ROAR!!!! (and nothing better than a Jackson to rock the hell out)
Fuckin' hell, fuckin' yes!!! I've seen Chris perform many times, goin' all the way back to the mid-80's. Goddamn, those were the days. The music scene was so fun back then. I've played bass in bands for over 35 years, and NOTHING was as fun as gigging back in the 80's.
Good to see Holmes is still rockin... mean man!
Not all that is gold shines...this is true metal for me. Cheers.
Chris is the man period! Met him a few times in LA, him and his wife were always gracious! I am happy the mean man is doing whatever the fuck he wants! It's total Holmes in every way! WASP died with him! Love ya Chris! -Chris Lee
the guitar tone is amazing!
glad someone is still making this kind of music
FUCK I just found this!!! TH-cam algorithms finally paid off. Chris has always been Heavy Metal personified to me. This guy is what it means to be metal. The guitars still sound just like they used to. Man I miss the 80's
Invigorating return from Chris Holmes. Pure fkn' RAWK.
I LOVE Chris's guitar playing. The stuff he did with W.A.S.P s some of the best metal guitar playing of all time. Sleeping in the Fire in my top 5 guitar solos ever. So melodic and oozing with feeling. Go Chris. Ego maniacs are difficult people to be around. Don't think I could stand being around Blackie more than a few minutes without wanting to punch him in the face.
Damned Chris is back !!!!!!!! Great to see U back with a "mean mother fucking" look ;-) U & WASP still give me force to wake up every morning since years !!! See U. David. PARIS-FRANCE
my man is still burning up that 6 string. way to go Chris Holmes.
