One of the best quotes in metal history just happened here. “Play for the love and listen to Angus and Malcom Young. “

Gary always comes across as very humble and grateful for his success, seems like such a nice dude

You have my full attention 🤘🏻

I’ve met Gary a few times over the last 8ish years, every single time he’s been nothing but kind and down to earth. I showed him an LTD Eclipse I had painted myself and he said to me “dude, killer!!!!” And has been nothing but a sweetheart. Very blessed to have met him, and so happy for all of his success!

Gary is one of the best guitarist out there. The way he chugs out riffs is so unique.

This man deserves Tonality Gary Holt edition, not just ToneHub pack. How about it, STL Tones?

To me, Gary has the best overall career guitar tone and riffs in metal.

"Listen to Angus and Malcolm. They teach you everything you need." Best advice EVER!

One of the best guitarists of all time. So talented but genuinely nice down to earth guy. Bonded by Blood is one of the best albums ever released. Love the Holt signature ESPs, Officer Holt, Hell Yeah. Thanks Gary, you Legend👍🤘🤘🤘

i love his tone live, so crushing , very distinctive sound

Thank you Gary for all your music! Made my childhood the best. Can’t wait to grab this!

The honesty and just how down to earth Gary is is just astronomical. At times it boggles the mind because he's just like us you know just like you just like I

My cousin surprised me for my 52nd birthday with a video from the one and only Gary Holt wishing me a Happy Birthday!! my eyes welled up lol and i'm a grown ass man! so surreal to hear your Living Legend, your Idol wishing you that from the GODFATHER of Bay Area Thrash.

Chasing killer guitar tones and riffs with the way Gary plays is such a killer combo. I was blown away in the 80’s with the riffs and have been a fan since. Definitely on my top metal gods list.

Gary is a good dude and a monster musician.

That Officer Holt guitar looks so sick.

Was lucky enough to see Gary in Perth WA with Exodus many years ago.. Killer guitarist. Played a huge set and noticed for Gary it's all about the audience being happy. What a fucking legend. 👏 ❤

Gary is in my top 5 guitarists of all time! And I always make a point of saying that he deserves a lot more recognition. We love you, Gary!Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

Its releases like this make the monthly plan so worth it! You always have new gear to play with.

Classiest and warmest solos in metal. Simply the best.

He's such a humble human

I wish I had as much experience in the music business and touring as Gary does. I'm 54 and I'm just starting a music career basically. And I've been an Exodus fan since the first album. We are just now getting it going. I guess we'll see how far it goes. But Gary is probably one of my top three favorite guitar players of all time. Malcolm Young is one of the others along with Alex Lifeson.

It's super cool to see one of my long-time guitar heroes get his very own amp sim package. This man is so deserving of this. Absolutely one of the coolest guys in all of metal. Much love to ya Gary...and hope to be jamming some of your new tunes soon.

One of the best human beings I've ever met! Gotta love this guy for all eternity!

Gary is an absolute legend🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥💕

Gary is an excellent player. He also has the best attitude that there is. I have seen Exodus a few times, never met him. And the Angus/Malcolm comment rules!

11:24 Dude, hearing the story behind this guitar makes me love it more! Especially the bullets!

Gary Holt is gold.

The predator sticker on his amp had me rolling 😆

Always get great advice in Gary's interviews!

Grinder was the first song I ever learned! Gary has amazing tone, writes amazing riffs, shreds solos and is like the coolest guy 🤘🤘

The opening riff to impact is imminent is STILL to this day the heaviest most technically challenging riff ever

Gary always seems so nice, i didnt knew that Kirk invite him to join Exodus, thats awesome.

Gary’s gear collection is crazy

Great interview, very inspiring. Gary you are the man!

when I heard the song "plaesures of the flesh" and "brain dead" being played on my local radio around 1988 it was like a revelation. So good riffs... and awesome solos.... in "pleasures" "Faster Than You'll Ever Live to Be " main riff is killer... This is where it all started. There was Slayer and Destruction before, of course, but this was like gold. Gary has one of the best sounds that exist in metal. The solos from the album Pleasueres of the flesh are masterpieces. I listen to a wide spectrum of metal and many genres, from Racer X to Origin, or John Petrucci and Immortal but Exodus started it.

Fantastic video. Thank you from Sweden! 👍🏻

What a genuine dude.

Exodus the sound of my life. thanks Gary.. master of masters. a hug from Italy

Dropping great advice and great tones! 🔥💀🔥

Cheers Gary! Awesome stuff.

This was an awesome interview, cool dude, im inspired to jam now.

Cheers Gary you have been my hero as a guitarist for quite some time your riffs and tone have always been crushing and although I have been part of the music industry my self with my own bands and projects that I have usually been the architect of over the decades as I put together most of the music and composition myself I have, as a Rhythm guitarist myself always loved your riffs even though all but one of my own bands/projects released officially or otherwise has nothing to do with thrash but when I just jam on a guitar for fun then Exodus id right up there in terms of things to play, thank you Sir \m/

I've been privileged to work with a LOT of artists, particularly in the metal genre. And Gary is one of THE nicest and most easy going guys I've ever met.

The tone of Exhibit A is one my favorite tones of all time, its fucking killer !!!!!

It's good to see you brother!! Great 👍 advice btw. I never knew you held your pick like that I do too! Happy anniversary too btw have a blessed Sunday night 😎👊

Legendary stuff. From a true legend.

Gary, you already achieved the Golden Tone: Tempo of the Damned/Blood In, Blood out Langner Marshall.

Gary’s the fucking man, can’t wait to load this up tonight and jam

More from that guy! First interview from him I saw until now and he seems very nice.

Awesome content!

Tha darta effects pedal! Cheers from Brazil!

Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of tone🤘

What a legend!

I saw him play with Exodus in Tokyo the day this was released. Great show and the fans loved listening to Bay Area Thrash!

I am so happy Gary was the guy who got the call when Slayer needed someone to take Jeff's spot for the last several years of the band. After putting in all of those years makign incredible music wit Exodus, Gary deserved a break and the chance to make some real money. Exodus should be way bigger than they are. Gary deserves some good pay days. Let's hope that Slayer paid him what he deserved...as Lombardo has raised some very real concerns about Slayer's book keeping, payments and management. Let's hope that Holt didn't get ripped off.

Grabbing this 🔥 Thrash legend!

I love his sound on the tripple x ! It's so brutal🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hell ya inspiration. I feel I can relate to Gary my band Angel Flesh Is Higley influenced by exodus.I played in another band and opened for them got to meet Gary Still my favorite show I've played

What a cool as hell guy!!! 👏 🤘🏻

Valeu demais! Dica simples pra conseguir essa sonoridade já saindo do padrão. Esperando a próxima!

Man I love this guy of late… all I knew of him was he replaced Jeff in Slayer… I love his tone and EMG guitars…. I saw a clinic he did and just dig everything he does , very inspiring to me as a player… thanks Gary

LEGEND!!!!

I'm so happy to be around and enjoy this era of bands and good musicans like Officer Holt !!! What will people say in 50 years when they look back and everything they have is crap. We're the lucky ones........

I’ve been crying out for Archetype Gary Holt for NDSP … but this is just 💪

One of the Greatest Metal Riffmaster 🎸

excited to hear Gary's deathbed riff

Legend.

wow those guitars !

Nice! Gary is awesome! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Love you Gary, Bay Area brother

That "Officer Holt" ESP NEEDS to go on sale for the public, just to demo one would be epic.

In 1992, I bought EMG 81 pickups for my B.C. Rich Warlock guitar just because of the guitar sound on Fabulous Disaster and reading that Gary Holt used those pickups. It sounded awesome going through a Peavey Supreme 160 stack. By the way, that t-shirt is hilarious.

Legend

Wise words here !!

Absolutely legendary human being and a massive influence of mine on my own guitar playing. Looking forward to watching them at Chania Rock Festival in Greece this year. Maybe, Stonedead in UK, hmm Gary?! 😂🤔🤟

Legend 🎉

Opening track Blacklist, one of my top 3 Exodus songs 🤘🤘

I love Gary! He is sooo nice dude! 🤘

All I want are the tones from the atrocity exhibition albums.
