I could see Tom's eyes speaking about Jeff! RIP to the greatest metal riffer EVER!!!
Diego Massili Tom almost lost it right there man! =(
MikeVonDoom I've never shed a tear for anybody I've never met, but I DAMN near did when I heard about Jeff dying.
+TwiztidJ Ya man.... All of us true Metal heads certainly were crushed. Like with Dimebag...
what's crazy is i think this is the first time tom has been on camera talking about jeff since his passing.and you could tell in his eyes how much it still hurts to this very day
He's on the verge of tears. It's utterly heartbreaking. RIP Jeff.
Ive known Gary since 1979 and he is one of my oldest friends. I am happy to see him finally getting the recognition he should have been getting over the years.
For many many years now, I've become acquainted with people that knew the "Big 4", and I'd show them Exodus. 100% of the time, they were hooked from the first note they heard. Even now, the company I work for just hired a bunch of guys in their early 20's, and they're getting hooked on Exodus, as well. Don't get me wrong, I still love Slayer, but I've always been a bigger fan of Exodus. I've really come to love the stuff from Tempo of the Damned onward the best.
Been listening to Exodus for going on 30 years now and I've always thought his playing and their sound were way way underrated. He deserves every bit of this.
Are you from the same area as he is? If so, we probably know a lot of the same people. I grew up in Richmond/San Pablo, California. One day at Hilltop mall, I was at that pizza place that used to serve beer. This must have been in 1990, or 1991. I was there drinking, and had a guitar with me that I had bought from Geno earlier that day - Geno, the bassists for Blind Illusion. So I started talking to this dude that was asking about the guitar, and I mentioned that there was another one I wanted to buy, one that belonged to Gary Holt. He said, "I am Gary Holt." His uncle was there with him, and we spent a couple hours there drinking, and talking. I wonder if Gary would remember that...
@@degatagauwatie4073 I'm from El Sobrante. I know Geno also. I was in Exodus before Gary.
@@therockisland they should have included exodus in the "big 4" should be the big 5
You didn't do jeff proud, Gary. You honoured his legacy more than anyone could ever have. The repentless album is a masterpiece.
Masterpiece, really?
@@patientmental875 yes
not really a masterpiece
not really a masterpiece, its awesome tho
Masterpiece? No. A damn great album? Yes
I hope if Slayer do another album after REPENTLESS that they let Gary contribute. The guy is a thrash pioneer.
+The Antagonist Because everything Slayer lacks with songwriting is what Gary excels at.
***** He can genuinely make Slayer a better band if they let him. There's so much unused potential in that band that I think he could help them use.
***** Is that an implication that Slayer is the better band?
***** I'm curious as to how Slayer is objectively better.
***** Objective means factual. What factual basis do you have to make such a claim? Are the songs or musicians objectively better? How do you measure that quality?
It seems to me your position is subjective - an opinion - that coincides with record sales.
Wao hearing Tom talk about Jeff was really emotional. RIP JH!
Exodus called earlier. They said they wanted their Gary back
In 45 years on earth that is the most emotion I have ever seen Tom display for us to see, raw and stripped down and real. We miss Jeff too Tom!
Tom seems like such a cool guy! you can tell he really misses Jeff.
+Matt Rivera I see what you are saying of the members in the band they were the closest no doubt about that......but when they decide one more record and its over bring dave back to see them out in still I like paul don't get me wrong but dave in the final tour is the right way for them to go out in style hopefully they can iron out their problems and move forward sooner rather than later
Yeah I could understand where you're coming from
clayton schiller I
Very evolved man
I'm pretty sure Jeff said ''FUCK YEAH'' on every lead you put on this album, Gary. Amazing album
Ironically, that what he said when he knew about Gary replacing him. Holt said that in an interview
Tom is sooooooo fucking cool!
Tom is really cool... Would like to hang w these guys for a few(dozen) beers!!
+Kasper Rotbøll he is an absolutely lovely guy as a person. how he smiles and enjoys what he does. Tom is a great musicial and a great guy
+Kasper Rotbøll ..... Holt is the shit too,,,,, nice sub for +Jeff RIP +
I really hope people give this album a chance and a GOOD listen
Aaron Mifsud seems like I am the only one having any expectations for it by now.. Seriously I think if they never released reign in blood, and would release it now all those "fans" would call it shit.
vermillioN I think it more has to do with the evolution of their sound and people not liking that.
God hates Us All was a great album, but it, along with their newer albums, doesn't even begin to touch how great Reign in Blood and Seasons in the Abyss are.
Joshua Thornton Don't forget Hell Awaits, South of Heaven and Show No Mercy. I like Slayer's later output and don't think any era of Slayer outshines the other. I see the band's music as continuous, different yes, but continuous. I think DIabolus was a refreshing album while World Painted Blood show the band at its most primal since Show No Mercy.
Aaron Mifsud Of course I will give it a chance! I'm excited for the new album.
+Aaron Mifsud Holt's work is awesome. And damn, I want want of those Kemper amps. I'ts hard not to notice some classic riffage in the new songs, stuff that is more classic thrash.
I’ve seen Slayer twice, once with Exodus as the opener. I had known about Gary and known about Exodus prior to seeing that show, but witnessing the amount of talent, passion, and ferocity that he put into those two sets made me a Holt-Head for life. The guy absolutely fucking shreds!!!🤘🏻
Gary Holt is a true professional on guitar and as a person. Yes, I saw Tom's eyes watering throughout the interview, when asked about Jeff Hanneman's replacement. I think we all felt a loss when Jeff died. But, if anyone was ever going to replace Jeff, it would have been Gary Holt. Gary is phenomen as a guitar player and as a human being.
Jeff was in on the decision for Gary to take his place while Slayer was on tour. It was supposed to be until Jeff could play again.
2:02 tears in Tom's eyes are heart breaking...
Fuck I miss Jeff so much...
I’ll always treasure in my heart when I saw Slayer live in 2001, I was a few feet away from Jeff R.I.P., unforgettable performance.
On the other hand Gary was the perfect fit.
Listening to their playing here, it sounds like having Gary in Slayer pushes Kerry.
HabAnagarek absolutely
HabAnagarek Sounds like Kerry has gotten better. Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.
Kerry grew as a guitarist. The song Repentless is GREAT thrash song. This band lost two limbs and still alive!
+verve92 Looking like a limping hungry zombie, which is not a bad thing for a metal band.
+HabAnagarek yeah well kerry(dollar sign's) king could use the push..his playing suck's and his smug pretentious attitude of late is even worse..he make's dave mustaine seem like mr roger's
gary holt is cool
Gary Holt is a thrash metal god
ye
Gary Holt fits perfectly well on Slayer. The album Repentless is the cherry of the pie for Slayer's retirement, it's just fucking amazing. How I wish for a Slayer's album in wich Gary Holt could participate in the creation.
Tom is talking from the deep bottom of his heart, you can see it in his eyes!!!🤘🤟
I met Gary a few years ago in Mexico, he came to give a concert with Exodus in a small forum (El Circo Volador), a great guy signed and signed autographs and let himself take many photos, the band was already up on stage and He was still out with the people ...
Saw slayer in Nov. 2014 w/ suicidal and exodus (oh yeah awesome) and let me say Gary Holt played with authority that night tearing it up like a mad man. Have no doubt he is the guy for the job and slayer fans should be grateful we got Gary to help continue the slayer dominance and legacy . Jeff would be proud ! Remember that there is a horrible future headed our way and that is there will be a day when slayer no longer makes music . NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Mike Sovereign Hoping to catch slayer sometime next year down under, unfortunately it seems like slayer only has another album or two left in them. I hope they stay for as long they can though.
***** Where are they going to be playing down here next year? Last time I saw them was at soundwave in 2012 I think, Holt was filling for Jeff then even back then and it was a pretty bloody good show, it was an afternoon set though would have preferred it later in the night.
hlm666 hasn't been announced yet but its likely gonna either be at soundwave next year or their own headline tour.
2 years later... the time has come boys
I saw that same tour in KC, holt did double duty that night it was one of the coolest fucking things I've ever seen
Gary with glasses looks like a wizard!
a wizard of violence \m/
And we all need a good lesson!
Martin Ivanov a lesson in violence 🤘🏻
Hails to Gary Holt \m/ and RIP Jeff.
Damn, Tom's still got it after all these years
Good points on Glenn Tipton, I agree 100%
You'd never expect these guys to have so much humanity and brotherly love for each other. I have a whole new level of respect for Slayer. All of the new videos are great.
I noticed Kerry's playing tightened up when Gary joined.
Tom has such an infectious laugh. Out of all the Slayer people he seems the most genuine.
Gary Holt is incredible perfect fit for Slayer
Gary is one of the absolute best guitarists out there!!! The best guitarist Slayer could ever find after Jeff!
Damn... Tom Araya... He rarelly talks, but he does it from the heart
Long live Slayer and Exodus And Gary Holt and RIP Mr. Jeff Hanneman...
I myself was unable to imagine Slayer on stage or in studio without Jeff, but now that Gary is here, I wonder how come I did not think of it myself. It seems so natural. I really do think that Jeff would go FUCK YEAH!
And Tom's tears say it all...
I’m sure Jeff would be happy. Gary is a great guitarist and great guy, I was lucky enough to meet and share the stage with him in the 90’s when my band Distorted View opened for Exodus at Harpos in Detroit
I am really looking forward to this new LP!!!!
I'm glad to see you guys with Gary he's a good fit keep doing what your doing your my favourite
Happy to hear King say that. Glenn Tipton is one of THE most overlooked greats. He never has quit growing, whereas K.K. kind of did.
Gary definitely was a great choice.
Man, fuck! I always try to keep myself composed whenever Jeff gets talked about, but that shit is hard as hell to do. I feel like Gary is doing him justice, though.
one of the most down to earth and humble bands out there ever.
great interview. bravo !
Jeff and Gary are amazing, RIP Jeff you are truly missed
I just saw these guys in San Fran two nights ago. Totally kick ass show! Those guys kicked ASS from start to finish!
Im really looking forward to this album, and it's coming out on my birthday :D
Hes been my second favorite guitar player for so many years. Behind the late great Dimebag!! So glad he hooked up with Slayer! Such a perfect fit
holy shit I realy cant wait till september. thanks for this awesome interview.
This is my favorite album to be honest ❤️
so glad that Gary is a part of slayer !
Gary your bad ass! RIP Jeff you'll will always be missed.
anthony perkins Boglins Rule!
anthony perkins sp SLAAAAAYYYEERRRR!
Oh man i wish theyd put out more studio footage, its fun as hell
Saw slayer in Chicago last night. It was awesome! Took my 8 year old to his first metal concert
Gary is a great guy and a monster guitarist.
Man Gary is such a humble dude!!
i can wait until next month. i pre-ordered the metal eagle box set , the picture disc box set and 10 different colored vinyls. i want them all.
I love Slayer and Exodus.
Congrates to gary you are doing great ive listened to exodus for many years. Must be quite an honor to fill in for jeff r.i.p you sound great as you always have. Have fun bro wtj fukn slayer!
Jeff is one of the greatest when it comes to riffs, but honestly Gary is a lot better lead guitarist and his solos are great.
+Vishal Sheth no jeff was better when he could play....keyword when he could play....jeff is irreplaceable
clayton schiller With all due respect,Jeff's solos make my ears bleed.But anyways,everyone has their preferences.
+Vishal Sheth Gary's an amazing guitar player, but honestly, his solos sound too much alike, even for Slayer's standards. He always uses the same playing technique. At least when he plays live, anyway.
+Vishal Sheth you're bordering on heresy with that statement.. but as far as leads go any so so thrasher can toss out good leads but it's RIFFS that make songs memorable and jeff was THE guiding force for slayers more solid songs
***** With all due respect, Gary's solos atleast have some sense to them. Jeff and Kerry churned out solos which were sometimes altogether unlistenable.But anyways that is what I think.
Gary and Jeff were friends in real life (as much as you can be) and he is a metal legend. I found no issue at all in him playing with SLAYER!
what would a world without slayer be like???a world i world not worhh living god bless the slayer boys...SAVED MY LIFE!!!
ive seen slayer 8 times front row for most and hopefully my broken old bones will get to stand in front of gary and watch him as i did jeff. great album if you didnt know it you would think it was jeff on the record. again great work
Mfn epic! You just dont see awesome shit like this these days!
Love the PANTERA amp sticker too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\m/
My Friend Brenden is a huge slayer fan he saw them in Phoenix and he had vip and got to meet Gary holt he told me he was really nice , I'm so jealous !!!
Hail SLAYER 🤘
Anyone can say anything, but the fact will still stay, that Gary is a very unique thrash master! Ty to Gary for great and big contributions to the band, his guitar in general and in every way sounds fuckin awesome! He is great enough to play with Slayer, he really earnd it.
RIP Jeff Hanneman \m/
Seen them in adelaide last year and Mannn... Gary has such a powerful stage presence and just rips the guitar, It was such an amazing night, my girlfriend even caught Gary's cute kitten pick ! Can't wait to frame it when we move
Tom is such an awesome human being
I just saw Slayer in MTL Sept 13 and Gary was awesome. I saw Jeff for the first time in 1988 and loved Slayer for what they were then. The 'new' Slayer is STILL slayer and I think Gary fits perfectly. RIP JH
Good band love it
So Happy for Gary. Great choice for Slayer.
Of course you did Jeff very proud!
Gary is great enough to play with Slayer! His contributions to the band are really amazing and respectfull in general. Very unique thrash master. Tnx to Gary for all of his efforts trying to be as close to Jeff as he can, he is doing a great job, and he is doing all of it from the heart, and that is why Gary belongs to Slayer.
R.I.P. JEFF HANNEMAN \m/
☆I felt part of this review
I feel part of the family also☆☆
thank you Slayer. words are at loss usable to describe the feelings I have I remember 1983/ 84 and I still have the autograph Jeff Hannamen ☆Signed I EAT DECAYED FLESH
Love Slayer
This is just pure awesomeness to any thrash metal fan from the day.
I'm a huge Gary Holt fan. I was lucky enough to meet him back in 1987 when Exodus headlined with Billy Milano's M.O.D. I was a little star struck but he was really nice. At the time the musicians would walk around among the fans and I kept my eyes peeled for Holt after having met Tom Hunting (the drummer). I was near the stage and my best bro grabbed my arm and said "Come on. Do you want to meet Gary Holt or not?". LIke I said he was really cool.
This is a great video.
Great Stuff, Tom's Reaction Was Awesome When Discussing Asking Gary To come Aboard Because Jeff Hanneman Was Sick
Потрясающий видос! Прям до глубины души.. Покойся с миром, Джефф!
Gary fuckin Holt ladies and gentlemen.
Perfect fit.
RIP Jeff
Ever GARY rising the best * brilliantly made wonderfully show
slayer for life
Awesome. Great video. Despite however people may feel about the current state and occurrences with the band, the new album will dominate like any all Slayer albums.
SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRR
Gary Holt is a Class Act and has written the best riffs in metal consistently for a long time now...
Back in 2001 when God Hates us All tour. A buddy and I drove from Tampa to Jacksonville to see Slayer at Club 2000. Jeff, Tom, Dave and Kerry it kicked ass. The next day we where hanging out at Pat O’Briens house while Cannibal Corpse practiced. All of a sudden the Slayer bus pulls up and we do some shoots, shoot pool, Slayer plays a few songs in the garage. They are so humble. The reason they where in town is to raise money for Chuck Schuldiner past and the money went to the family. Many bands in Metal came to support a member in the Music Community who did so much
When Paul say " Gary is Family " man That's so True
Killer album!!! From a Hell Awaits era fan!!
Show No Mercy was my favourite album when I was 12! (started with Iron Maiden at 9)
@@botramduuze7188 I'm 12 right now
GARY HOLT IS THE GUY!!! Hell Yeah!!
Gary Holt in Slayer has been 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Gary Holt rules!!!!!
slayer just keeps getting better!!!! :) they should be on the ash vs evil dead soundtrack!
Holt is a badass. Nobody could dislike him. Im sure that Jeff would approve
Gary you definitely put down Jeff's playing thank you
I was So Saddened When Slayer Lost Jeff The Guys Guitar Style Was So Unique So Jeff no One Like him in the world and the fact he was such a nice guy people all said makes it even more tragic.. but i must say im glad slayer moved on and created repentless with Garry Holt i could not think of anyone on earth that would be as good as he is in the band playing old and new slayer i think Jeff would not only be proud of him but also of the band not giving up and producing another classic album now my favorite album besides south of heaven keep up the great work guys
Tom is so fucking genuine and down to earth - \m/
SLAYTANIC!!!!!!!!!🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
Ive been a Slayer fan since Haunting the chapel,there couldnt of been a better person to sit in other than Gary.
🤘🤘
The perfect guy for the job!
Gary is a fucking GOD, an absolute metal legend, and thrash metal pioneer...Slayer couldn’t have picked better to fill Hanneman’s massive shoes, huge respect to him for making it work so well. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
