      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.

    Gary Holt is thee reason I played guitar and became addicted to thrash metal.86 down in my cousins basement after we got back from the record store and I was curious about this kinda chaotic song titles to seeing the song Piranha/No Love. It was the first song I played and Piranha blew me away. Holt and Exodus is what changed my life and buying mixed tapes with anything Exodus and it kept building and building. Thee best riffer period is Holt.Watching him play and how he interacts with the crowd is amazing and still thrashing his body while playing live and the fact he never looks to see where to play,the dude is a cyborg.
