EXODUS Interview

We had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Gary Holt (Exodus, Slayer) about the 2013 Metal Alliance tour, the controversial banning of Exodus from performing on Disney-owned land, the 2007 lifetime ban from the The Whiskey a Go Go in Los Angeles, the Hell and Heaven Festival in Guadalajara, Mexico, his thoughts on American and European metal festivals, the upcoming Exodus album, his experience with Slayer and its influence on Exodus, as well as Exodus' lineup and the current state of thrash metal.
Metalliance Tour - Denver, CO 4/2/13. / superskum exodusattack.com.

Yeah, and he's metal as FUCK! Gary Holt is one of those most underrated guitarists I know, along with Exodus in general!

[@itsamiamario69]

What a cool dude.

[@IronDuke_xX]

Gary is such a decent bloke

[@bongolow07]

I had the chance to meet Gary Holt in person, he really is different compared to stage performance. Laidback as he can be, he really is a kind dude. I bought an Exodus guitar pick, had him play a little so hopefully I get a little bit of that thrash feel lol.

[@Orangeokie7]

It really does piss me off that the US doesn't have good metal festivals like Europe

[@asr1143]

wacken 2014 right now yeeeeeeehhhhhhh :)

[@imagoventola3233]

hahaha

[@DeadEndKing]

Jeff's up there, but NO ONE can write a riff like Gary. ;)

[@embassyhotel]

Ya I totally agree,& Exodus in general like you said.I also think that long time Exodus guitarist Rick Hunolt is very underrated also & is a very killer shredder on the 6-string ringer.

[@Denmark_1974]

He is about 50 years old. What did you expect?

[@lastotallyawesome7830]

The ban has been lifted!!🤘🏼 saw exodus at the house of blues in Anaheim earlier this earlier same with machine head saw them a few weeks ago at the same venue

[@AP-ik2tl]

I like Gary alot but Jeff is the greatest thrash writer ever

[@mikeywolves1]

I love Jeff Hanneman but Gary is more refined. Both seem like really laid back dudes

[@superskum]

[@happyrAGEeee]

[@anemaldemomusic8182]

Legend Exodus is way too underrated

[@DjProfiK]

,,if we are too extreme for them than so be it’’
Is something Metallica never said

[@rict5878]

If Hammett , Mustaine , Skolnick were gunslingers in the old west Gary and Rick would be Widowmakers.

[@TheSmartComputerGeek]

49, actually.

[@happyrAGEeee]

That is a fact.

[@nattheanswer24]

what's the song on the intro of the video?

[@arvindshastry1178]

Strike of the beast

[@slantyrock]

He looks like Zakk Wyldes younger brother

[@alfredodoppelgorf]

he kinda reminds me of an old jaime lannister sometimes

[@alanlloyd450]

Jeff quit cocaine and pills to ONLY DRINK.., well ,drinking kill you too

[@Golfshooter]

it's called aging

[@alanlloyd450]

Jeff Hanneman is the best thrash songwriter ever. better than mustaine even

[@MrSimondaniel3]

[@DropdaLTDtoB]

+Daniel Simon Abuse specifically.
