I love Rainbow , Ritchie Blackmore's is my favorite guitar player haha my favorite stuff from them though is the live stuff when they would play a song for like 15-25 minutes just jamming out , sick stuff
I sincerely appreciate Gary Holt’s talent and for stepping up and helping Slayer. He is the perfect person for that job. His work with exodus is superb. I wish you health, success and lots of peace.
He actually is not really tall. Just his appearance in the 70s made him a larger than life figure. A band that was tall: Kiss. Every member of the original Kiss lineup, Ace, Peter, Gene, Peter, were all *over* 6' tall. With their height without boots and makeup, it did make them unrecognizable. Most people thought that they were not actually tall guys.
@@billthompson5644 I actually knew that. Blackie said he called Chris Holmes and asked his height and hair color before he asked about his guitar playing. As shallow as it was, Blackie knew that he needed a Hollywood image to make it.
I met Gary back in 1988. Exodus were playing with M.O.D. He was really cool.. just like he doesn't agree with Nugent's politics, I don't agree with Gary's but I, too, can separate music from the politics and it is my opinion that he is one of the best Metal (not just Thrash) guitarists today. G
Such stupid questions, "What song made you want to play guitar?" "What song did you have to learn first?" who the hell remembers that after decades of playing?
Squiggy's first question........I hit pause and was going to comment with a 'Ted Nugent joke' before Gary's answer........only to have Gary start immediately talking about Ted Nugent !! Kirk Hammett references Ace Frehley as an influence, so inspiration comes from wherever it comes from. Steve Harris (Iron Maiden boss) favorite album is Genesis' FOXTROT.
For Gary to make it a point to say he doesn't like Teds politics is in itself a political statement while trying to act like it's not. I don't like all of Ted's politics and never did like his music but I do like that he at least sticks to his beliefs and makes no bones about them. At least he doesn't try to act like by not agreeing he isn't overtly making a huge political statement. Anyway..love Gary's playing and Slayer!!!
fucking good fiffer :) LTD man, sssso good guitar, expensiv but, the guitar is here, no way i have an JH600 Hanneman and, she is a beauty and shunky as hell , evil guitar for leading, riffing and everything ;
@@TheLucidDreamer12 Tom Hunting (drummer) is an original, but I know he was out of the band twice. Gary's technically not an original, but he's appeared on every album.
Gary Holt! Just reading about you and others recoup from covid, thank god!! You were a friend of my son Jim Lapin. We lost Jim, Oct 1993. A month or so later you and Exodus and other bands organized a benefit concert for him - meant so much!! Stay well!!
@@exanimusofficialat leads yeah, but not at rhythm. Gary would never have been able to play Metallica’s riffs the way Hetfield did on the albums. Especially Blackened and Dyers Eve. I’m sure Gary could have played those songs. But not the way Hetfield did. Only Hetfield can play them the way Hetfield did. Even Gary says Hetfield is probably the best rhythm guitarist out there.
@@uome20bukz nobody can really play songs the exact same way as somebody else anyways, everybody has different picking styles, ways of holding a guitar etc. James wouldn’t be able to play the exodus rhythm the same, it would sound like james hetfield playing exodus.
"On this episode of Gear Fuckturd, Squirty sits down with Prayer and Exodux waffleist Hairy Bolt, who plays and talks about some of the riffs that have inspired him throughout his career." Cmon guys, check the wording before posting!
Nobody noticed the Lock-Up t-shirt? :D Come on guys! CRUSHING band, great to see some of my all time favorites supporting younger bands this way. You go Gary :D
You’d think, what with video coming from a music company that they’d be able to mix the sound so that the guitar was properly audible. Same happened with the Bostaph drum video. Loads of cool content but virtually unlistenable. Bostaph might as well still have been those pillows he had as a kid.
His pick is louder than the amp 🤣
@@DarthJermz it ruins it// you hear the pick going chingachingachinga// you think they could cut the mic when he RIFFS.
@@louiscsanko9322
If they cut the mic, you would hear only chingachanga and nothing else lol
@@CarpeDiem23 lol
@@CarpeDiem23 Gary is a Beast*
The amp is on 10. He’s Gary Holt.
Pretty sure this video should've been called Gary Holy plays his favorite Rainbow riffs lol
Brian Munoz true not one slayer riff there
Slipknot Fan 666 Haha, that’s a big fact, such an underrated but great band
I love Rainbow , Ritchie Blackmore's is my favorite guitar player haha my favorite stuff from them though is the live stuff when they would play a song for like 15-25 minutes just jamming out , sick stuff
rainbow is FUCKING GREAT, cus Blackmore is the god of guitar, his style, solo, the sound, just the greatest
And got payed by LTD
Wow he's a big Rainbow fan.. thats awesome, great taste for music boy!
Apparently a my chemical romance fan too.
the way he's holding the guitar is unsettling, my mind wants it to be a Flying V
Exactly 😂😂
It's an optical illusion, it's actually a V painted to look like a single cut.
He probably just likes having his neck more upright, plus with his back being fked up he probably does that so he isn't hunched over at all
Jared Branson he did spend quite a long time playing Vs
Lmao it is!!! Its fuckin uncomfortable af to sit down with and play. I own one.

I love the sound of bleeps and pick scratching in the morning.
Gary Holt is the man, saw Slayer last week and they are still killing it.
Ted might be 9' tall, he makes the other guys in the Damn Yankees look like Munchkins.

I have the Damn Yankees video DVD

Did he say his favorite riff from Slayer?
Thank you, sincerely. /w\SlayeriZer/w\
I got some Slayer covers and hear the rare Season's in the Abyss EP with FLUTE!
He by the foundation is EXODUS....and he always will be.
ok
No but it's angle of death. He has said that was the first slayer song that blew him away and still does.
At least they changed the title. And thanks Jeremy, thats what I came here for.

Yeah cringe that he even brought it up.
"Sits down with EXODUS and SLAYER" - that's the right order!!!
Absolute beast! Love both Exodus and Slayer!
his headbanging technique is fucking legendary
Love Gary. He's Awesome!! 🤟🤟🎸
I don’t align with Gary’s politics either. But he’s a helluva guitar player.
So does bleep ever bleeeep ted bleep ritchie bleep how about bleep thznks and bleep
Those beeps are annoying.
Exodus is so good. Hell awaits, ride the lightning, bonded by blood= untouchable metal classics
Now I know who Gary Holt reminds me of - Rowdy Roddy Piper!
Trueeeeee
Kevrokk Kills why does he have a bucket of acorns in the back of his car?
That Guitar is sick
Saw them live aug 23rd it was amazing
Such stupid questions, "What song made you want to play guitar?" "What song did you have to learn first?" who the hell remembers that after decades of playing?
You can see how much he loved playing Guitar from this interview its almost funny,lol.
He looks like Skwisgaar From Metalocalypse
Lol
You can’t go wrong with Richie Blackmore
The riff Master!
Such a wholesome dude haha
A good day to die...
My fav G.holt track🔥🔥🔥
Wow a rock star with no ego...
Mr Holt ladies & gentlemen
pretty cool that gary is a big rainbow fan
Gary is the man.
Richie Blackmore 🤘🤘🎸
That guitar is sick
Alright.. Gary's inspirations are some of my favorite bands
Gary Holt is a badass!
My idol

Exodus / Slayer's Gary Holt Plays His Favorite Riffs at Volume 1.
Well, I'm not saying the video is bad, but it is clickbait
What is the name of the track which plays in the beginning???
He needs to turn his amp up!!
Turn it up man!!! I'm old and my hearing aid is broken!!
is this a known riff? at 4:24 if yes what the name of the song?
Gary Holt is 54? Damn......
What about buck head. Yo-yo or Tina s or Tina x, they bring anew meaning to shred , And can slayer match this?
Exodus are still going??
I like he like Ritchie Blackmore
Gary is the King, but that’s some serious clickbait right there. Not cool Loudwire!
GOD
Gary just rips into a solo while still talking to dude and doesn't miss a note. Lmfao
Several times I should say
Where are the slayer riffs ?
Censoring a heavy metal video on RUclips? What the fuck?
The bleeps are louder than the guitar.
PATHETIC

Turn up the amps
fucking good fiffer :)
LTD man, sssso good guitar, expensiv but, the guitar is here, no way
i have an JH600 Hanneman and, she is a beauty and shunky as hell , evil guitar for leading, riffing and everything ;
Lock up!!!!! \ , , / \ , , /
Kirk windstein's twin?
+1 because you put the band names in proper order :D Garry is not even doing this :D
It is all that matters, to the fully functional adult.
What's with the censorship? God damn it's metal.
This was too short!!
I’m the opposite I agree with ted politically but not musically
He didn't play any Slayer riffs
Nope, he don't own them. Thank you, sincerely. /w\SlayeriZer/w\
I got some Slayer covers and hear the rare Season's in the Abyss EP with FLUTE!
But what does corey taylor think of this?
JustEthan he thinks you're a moron because that has been done to death
Chris Ayers fairs the joke has been made so many times
Music is hidden behind the pick!
You really had to say that shit about Ted’s political view just had to throw that in there that’s when I cut the video
stop with that bip
what is there not to like about Ted's politics
Bip for "fuck" but not for "shit"?? This is the internet for fuxx sake
Gary "BLEEPER" Holt
Stop bleeping him - it’s Gary Fucking Holt.
bleeps fun but doesn't bleep shit XD
Gary was always an underrated beast
Organized Chaos Absolutely!
Saddly Exodus didn´t did really well after Bonded by blood, so Gary never got too much spotlight.
@@antoniocenteno1483 what the flying fuck are you smoking dude
*is
Nate Gin comparatively commercially ? No they didn’t , I love em but they where always very underground compared to a lot of their contemporaries .
Slayer/Exodus
That is so badass
Trospher hes the most badass guitarist out there, or one of them at least
Paul Bostaph (the drummer) was also with Slayer and Exodus.
@@davidnissim589 Exodus remains the only major thrash band that managed to have no original members it its lineup at different points in time

Lol Gary Holt and Ted Nugent are on the exact opposite ends of the political spectrum
Yep, But as he said, You don't have to believe what he believes to love his music.
DJ Kaled interviewing Gary Holt. My life is complete.

Thata amazing, sorry for your loss, i hope everythings going well.
He's got great phrasing, you instantly feel the groove, no drums needed. Like with hetfield, dimebag, gibbons and hendrix.
Brandon Macon gary is a better guitar player then hetfield

Didn’t even play anything from slayer
Thank you, sincerely. /w\SlayeriZer/w\

Gary just loves playing guitar. Exodus covered songs too.
Slayer isn't anywhere near as good as what he was playing

Its funny that this comment was edited...
Victor Anselmo I thought Prayer would be funnier than Player like it was written initially 😁
Right on Ritchie Blackmore is a true musician.
🤣🤣
Sure glad he had his amp up loud enough to hear those riffs over the sound of the pick.
I hope to see him playing a Hello Kitty guitar now
Ahahaha yes i'm agree....
I have seen Gary Holt twice in one night in Vancouver Canada He played 2 sets that night Exodus and Slayer
Not as advertised 🤦🏻♂️💨
Rainbow is so fokkin underrated and bad ass as fuck! Gary likes Uli Roth as well.Roth is an alien space ship.
Love Exodus and Slayer...like how Gary never looks at what he's playing and nails it!
Such an almost machine-like guitar god. Gary does not even need to look at his guitar to play anything. What a beast.
Years and years of practice 😂
Gary, lift the restraining order so we can hang!
Nobody noticed the Lock-Up t-shirt? :D Come on guys! CRUSHING band, great to see some of my all time favorites supporting younger bands this way. You go Gary :D

Gary is such an awesome rhythm guitarist. Dude is an absolute machine gun.
Turn the amp up!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This video should have been called gary holt plays his favorite rainbow and ted nugent riffs.
This was not what I expected, Ritchie in my opinion wrote his best work in Rainbow
I saw Slayer live, and they are amazing, rip slayer, I cant believe they are retiring
no, they are retiring from touring and making music as slayer
