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.

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.

@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.

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.
