Glad to see him up on stage again. The last time I saw Chris play was when wasp opened for kiss in Seattle. During their song, I wanna be somebody, I had a couple of big dudes push the crowd back so I could jump up and grab Chris's mic. We got to finish the song before I handed it back up. Bypassed the bouncers and handed the mic to a tech. Chris wasn't happy at first, but I think it set the mood for Chris to kickass that night. He played like a mad man. A memory I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
Iron Maiden was right when they said we were living in the golden years. Damn glad he's still at it. As for the pool interview...Many of us were on the same page. Some of us didn't last long He emerged. He conquered.
Shows what an absolutely astounding vocalist Blackie Lawless is. I don't wanna hear anyone but Blackie sing it. I really did love Chris's guitar work in the original. His original feel and wailing sound perfectly matched Blackie's visceral vocals. 3:585:15
I really hate that it took me till I was 40 years old to appreciate wasp and especially Chris Holmes guitar playing... the way he approaches the instrument and his guitar tone really hits home with how I approach the instrument myself. Holmes is truly the first person to make an influence on me since I discovered Randy Rhoads when I was Young.
Chris is a fighter,he has overcome so much and now he's got cancer but we know he's gonna kick the shit out of cancer and come back meaner then ever!We love ya buddy!!!!
We forget, we all age, and the guys that we listened to when we were young were several years or more our seniors back then. Now 40 plus years later, here we are in our in our mid 50's thinking, "why these guys look so old? Oh yea that's right, they're in their 60's, 70's and 80's now.
Not to mention they lived/partying harder than most of their fans. That swimming pool scene in The Decline of Western Civilization Pt 2 was so depressing... didn't think he'd live much longer after that came out.
@Fons van Oers I only found out about that after reading up on the aftermath of the film release. It's a different tragedy, in the effect it had on his career. Still, I was relating my impression after seeing it in the late 80s, not knowing the truth behind the scene.
It's a miracle that the guitar Chris is using, a Jackson RR-1 (named after Randy Rhoads), has actually survived all these years. That's a testament to the quality of what Jackson guitars were, back then. Interesting note: Chris Holmes did NOT like Randy Rhoads.
Blackie might be currently playing the the whole first WASP record (and I'm not going to lie, what I have watched hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be) but *THIS* is the sound.
Does anybody know if he's going to be with W.A.S.P on their reunion tour? I'm psyched that blackie is coming out of retirement for the occasion but it's not going to be that enjoyable if Chris isn't with W.A.S.P. yeah I will still go but I'm going to be disappointed. A shout out to my fellow North Carolinians, they are going to be at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC, at 7:30 pm, November 27 I believe. For the rest of the State, I'm not sure. Charlotte is closer to me so that's why I know. I didn't look for the other shows.
I wasn't the biggest fan of wasp. But I was a big fan of Chris Holmes a great big dude playing Randy Rhoads V and his guitar parts were really good.. he had some Tasty Licks a lot of stuff from I've tried to copy over the years and steal from some of his stuff I really liked him
Only a few from the eighties that Jammed like that. That's Randy Rhoads. Carlos Cavazo but You my friend Take the the Cake because you're still jammin'....
Listening to Chris soloing is like the ultimate FREEDOM ! Every note is visceral , comes from that fucking badass soul! Keep rocking father Holmes!!
He definitely still has it. Glad to see he is still making music. He seems stoked.
Chris Holmes, Legend of Rock
Incredible guitar
🎸
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m just glad he’s still playing. This is where he belongs, a rockstar. He sounds good, the band is good

I wish that Chris would tour the US. I would really love to see him live. Definitely one of the g.o.a.t.s of metal guitar players eva!!! 🤘🤘🤘
One of my favourite guitarists ever
Such a great feel
Long live Chris and the way things should be 🤘
Same chris is amazing wasp is nothing with out him
Iron Maiden was right when they said we were living in the golden years. Damn glad he's still at it. As for the pool interview...Many of us were on the same page. Some of us didn't last long
He emerged. He conquered.
So happy he is in such a beautiful place in his life. 😎
The passion he has is so evident in his facial expressions.
I'm glad he's still alive and kicking. I love this song. I had the cassette when I was a teenager.
Me too , bought it when it first came out
He plays it different every time. And every time its awesome

Great To see chris back!proud of him, he's a winner,the rock roll forever more!
Fantastic guitarist, just THE best.
I watch this video a couple times a week just to hear that solo. Chris Holmes is amazing and W.A.S.P.'s loss.
Love his guitar tone he is so awesome
Good to see Chris live again :)
Incredible, Chris is still hitting those otherworldly notes.
Chris is playing with fire and heart in this video. The singer is doing a great job too.
Chris is a fighter,he has overcome so much and now he's got cancer but we know he's gonna kick the shit out of cancer and come back meaner then ever!We love ya buddy!!!!
Great video. Chris' tone is always great. That solo too.
One of the best rock/metal guitar tones of all time! Rock on Mr. Holmes.
Nice solo! Love seeing Chris Holmes rip on that song.
His tone man....since1986 making me cry

This year has been so crazy I would not be surprised if we heard Blackie and Chris doing a show together next year. #2020
a true guitar god
I don't think he's played this solo the same twice. And each time its awesome.
The great ones don't. There's a ebb and flow with the creative muse.
I think the same. Every time the solo sounds little different but great
Chris is like the coolest guy in the world man !!!!!---------------LOVE THIS TUNE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that's legit rock and roll right there
He has depth and range. He is a true rock n roller
Zakk and Chris, same stage, one jam. Metal would be reborn
OMGods! Yaasss.
Nope. Not zakk.
Great great great !!!
What a amazing player . True legend.vey underrated
Makes you realise how good Blackie’s voice is.
Heck yea thank you brother. My all time favorite. Maybe since your back just a lot of solo freestyle stuff 🤙🙏
Awesome Chris rock on forever
2:12 Nice trick to raise the guitar before the solo.
Yup I play V guitars and never thought of that.
Just happy to see that some of the f*** ups from my day made it through God bless you brother keep on living
Hellya that solo, sick 🤘
Video quality is excellent.
Great solo!!!
The Last Command & Inside the Electric Circus, both great albums.
Damn that was awesome

especially aimce lita ford smashed a couple of his iconic guitars.
He didn’t dislike him in particular, he just said he wasn’t really a fan.
@@gabrielbrouwer No. CHRIS DIDN'T LIKE RANDY RHOADS. period. End of discussion. Thanks for playing.
fantastic.
One of the greats right there. Get well Chris 👍
Man, this dude can sing!!
Right
What??
Mean Man, I hope your doing and feeling better, and i send my love.....
Those bends soulful man
Guitar solo took me back
That was amazing. I love him.
the best 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell yeah
Zakk Wylde's big brother
zz top grandfather
That's an insult to Chris
😂
Cool!
I like when Chris uses his Jackson V guitar. That's like his signature axe to me. He should always be rocking that particular guitar.
Definitely. That's what inspired me to buy one
👌
Blackie blackie blackie forever and ever
Thats not blackie
The heart of rock n roll is still beating
Blackie might be currently playing the the whole first WASP record (and I'm not going to lie, what I have watched hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be) but *THIS* is the sound.
HELL YES
I love Chris's playing style. He's got a good band. I just wish he'd get a real vocalist for future albums.
great trick adjusting the strap over the end of the top wing to get the guitar higher for the solo. The man still rips!
the most beat up rr jackson i ve ever seen in my life...
Guy singing is killing it
Selooooooco tio
Wow.Chris’s 3 minute plus solo was amazing.
Chris seems like a great guy
Chris looking good brother sounds great
Do we remember Randy Piper? I would love to see him playing this today!
Mean solo man!
The man can play.
Great drumming
I meet him Randy doing Thier own band traveling around in a old camper. They cool old metal gods
Does anybody know if he's going to be with W.A.S.P on their reunion tour? I'm psyched that blackie is coming out of retirement for the occasion but it's not going to be that enjoyable if Chris isn't with W.A.S.P. yeah I will still go but I'm going to be disappointed.

Fuckin hell yea Chris !!!!!!!
Chris Holmes is fucking awesome.
Wtf fucking good vocal 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn
I wasn't the biggest fan of wasp.
But I was a big fan of Chris Holmes a great big dude playing Randy Rhoads V and his guitar parts were really good.. he had some Tasty Licks a lot of stuff from I've tried to copy over the years and steal from some of his stuff I really liked him
Still got the chops!!
love that singer!!
for me Chris and Smith KK downing Murray tipton are the best Heavy Metal players of sll time
Wish him and Blackie could do a tour together might be too late sadly
👍💪🎸🎸
Fuck yeah 🤘❤
Only a few from the eighties that Jammed like that. That's Randy Rhoads. Carlos Cavazo but You my friend Take the the Cake because you're still jammin'....
👍
I didn't realize that song had such a short guitar solo.
this dude sounds better than blackie does now
for sure
He Grew up with Eddie Van Halen... have a feeling that they made each other better musically in those early years. Love it
Just a shame the 2nd guitarist didnt get to show his talent in the solos
To mistrz
🤘🤘
sounds like paul stanley /Blackie lawless singing
💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🤝🖐
It'd be kewl if WASP reunited for a SAVED n SINNED tour
Good
But he wasn't in the band when Blackie wrote this song
