Was a privilege to be there on Chris 65th birthday. Been into metal since early 80s and been to a lot of concerts. Seeing Chris in Northampton was one of the most memorable. Absolutely awesome 👌
Love ❤ Chriss You are the best with the humorist and positive attitude no matter what are you dealing with. Keep doing what you like. Great interview! 🎸🗽🇺🇸
This guy scared me straight lol... Never going to forget his cameo scene in The Decline of Western Civilization 2. Anyways I am shocked this dude is still alive. This guy is rock n roll to the bones 😂
Saw Chris in 2016 in Edinburgh- great gig and met him afterward, he's spot on about the government running drugs too, I think the interviewer is quite Nieve good interview though : )
I'm so glad to see Chris in good health. After seeing the doc about Chris and how he lives his now. It's much better for Chris to be out of WASP. Even though I miss him being in the band. I feel Chris now as a life where he can be at peace with himself. Only one thing for me is that I've never met Chris. I hope to one day.
Chris the guy who c9uld comes around from every corner and goes in a Pub and Drink beer with you without all that 80s Rockstar attitudes,and one hell of an Guitarist 🤘
Only 645 likes (including mine) as of Jan 3, 2025. This brings me to understand that I am getting older than I thought and I am looking behind and all those 80s, 90s, folks that were there...are gone. Well....at least I made it to click on the LIKE button in 2025 for me and for them. Chris....great interview brother !
Chris is a great person he loves his fans, unlike some other musicians who have worked with him.I wish him the best with his health and new band .If he ever comes back to the States, don't forget to stop in Indiana. You have a shit ton of fans here that would come to your show..
Chris Holmes is the real deal straight up cool one of a kind hope he rocks for a very long time you can tell he really loves playing music God bless him wish i could of hung out with him when i was a roadie back in 1975 until 1984 meet a lot of really cool musicians who weren't eat up with the dumb i am a rock star crap.
Me and misses was invited to Chris and Cathy Holmes wedding anniversary in 2016 in south of France in Cannes at their home and believe me Chris and Cathy are superb people so lovely and having the pleasure holding Chris famous beat up Jackson guitar. He’s such a fun guy to be around and Cathy is so supportive of Chris and that’s lovely to see 🙏🎶🎸🎵
I'm about 7 years younger then Chris, I remember WASP well they were doing their thing in my youth / teens/20s, I hated that band but, I say But, i watched Chris in another program i came across the other day & i have to hand it to em, He's a fcken stand up dude. nothing but props for him Enjoy brother!!
haha comments like this could only comes from an wannabe Stranger Things Fan ,who never saws that Band live at their prime😅,i bed Chris finds that comment stupid too 😅
This guy was almost like a real life style "monster" (kinda Lol) to me as a 10-12 kid, even though I was listening to all the Metal bands, back then Lol. But yeah man, Chris is the REAL deal , NO doubt. I can see why he has such a great reputation as a stand up dude, through the decades highs and lows..."And I LOVED bein an azzhole! Ohh yeah!"...LOL Guy is a CLASSIC...🤘🔥🤘
He looks in better shape than Blackie these days but man these artists form the 80's really need to call it a day they've already proven enough and given enough to the fans. But I get it, they don't know anything else. Guess you might as well go out doing what you love. Your the best Chris!
His retirement money would roughly be $1,800. How can he say he shouldn't get it???? He worked his ass off and legally that money IS his. If he gets sick again he's going to need that cash. That would roughly be $21,600 a year
He Just Means "YET", Just Because You Reach The Eligible Age, Doesn't Mean You Have To Apply / Claim It ASAP. It's Not A "Use It Or Lose It" Deal. It'll Still Be There When He Needs/Wants It. Evidently With The Documentary & Mean Man, He's Making Enough $$$ That He Just Doesn't Need It Now.
@@ponyxpress001 Just goes to show WHAT, kinda, actual human being that Chris Holmes IS 😏.....He is just FINE/content with WHERE he IS at, financially speaking... UNLIKE, SOME of his old past timed fellow 80s rockers (cough cough Dicki Sukks and company 😒) And that he does NOT, have ta ta be a money hungry grabbing 💸💸💸 media whore where" ALL of it" is just NEVER enough, even.....

Chris’s guitar sound in concert and records was astounding! I hope he has great breaks and luck in the future because he deserves it.
Chris Holmes looks like he's in good shape right now, nice to see that
Chris is the coolest, you're for a full recovery!
Had the pleasure of getting to know Chris and his wife Sarah when they lived in Finland (2014) you couldn’t meet more genuine down to earth people. Had some unforgettable personal moments with a true Heavy Metal legend.
One of a kind.. 🎸
I hope that he gets to do everything he love's and wants to do in life.
God bless you Chris.. 🙏

Back in the 80’s I thought Chris would be a rockstar to die young. He’s a legend.
Had the pleasure of seeing Chris and meeting him with his band few months back in England such a gentleman. Told him he’s been my hero for 30 years 🤘🏻
Love ❤ Chriss You are the best with the humorist and positive attitude no matter what are you dealing with. Keep doing what you like. Great interview! 🎸🗽🇺🇸
Happy birthday Chris.
This guy scared me straight lol... Never going to forget his cameo scene in The Decline of Western Civilization 2. Anyways I am shocked this dude is still alive. This guy is rock n roll to the bones 😂
Amazing he made it to 65
Saw Chris in 2016 in Edinburgh- great gig and met him afterward, he's spot on about the government running drugs too, I think the interviewer is quite Nieve good interview though : )
Me too, I saw Chuck Mosley that weekend too. Chris is still an amazing guitarist
It's good to see Chris. I'm glad he is healthy. It would be so cool to see him because I never got to see him when we were young.
1st gig I ever went to, W.A.S.P. Liverpool Royal Court 27th May 1989, I'll never forget it and they were never the same after Chris left.
Also my first gig 🤘🏻
Love his tone always have !!!!
I'm so glad to see Chris in good health. After seeing the doc about Chris and how he lives his now. It's much better for Chris to be out of WASP. Even though I miss him being in the band.

Chris the guy who c9uld comes around from every corner and goes in a Pub and Drink beer with you without all that 80s Rockstar attitudes,and one hell of an Guitarist 🤘
Then why was he known as the mean man?
Probably just add alcohol. Also getting famous - becoming stars they have to have some armor.

Funny how I can't type lawless first name, Google thinks it's racist, but he looks like an old woman today,
You Master 🎸🤘😊🤘 music
Chris was certainly having a lot of fun with WASP back in '86.
He’s absolutely right about those drugs that where brought into America , It did happen.
Hi Chris 🤘🏻
A veRRy meRRy HäqpY b-d, all the way fröm GermanY 🇩🇪

If Blackie was there, Chris wouldn't get a word in edge wise.
The best thing about this is that’s Chris fuckin Holmes she’s talking to.
What a gorgeous woman! 😍
What a desperate simp!
He looks good. She looks great 😃
Bien chris
He made it too 65 hard to believe with his life style.
❤
I love Chris but dam that left one is hypnotizing
Nooo he can't be 65. Jeez that would make me 55
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Van Halen was not milk and cookies kinda band
Champ
He needs to share his sound as much as possible before his fingers freeze up. Maybe play/write some music for ubisoft or ea games.
She looks like a cool chick to hang out with.
Cringe
HELLLION ....THE DEVIL'S HELLION CHILD
