    I never really knew about Chris Holmes, but I can listen to him talk all day. What a breath of fresh air. 👍🏾

    Chris is so humble. He’s a great player in his own right. I get misty eyed hearing him talk about his friend EVH.

    Chris’ playing and tone is waaaay underrated. That sound on “Last Command” and “The Headless Children” is just signature stuff, hasn’t been duplicated.

    See ? Music is not a competition, it's not a sport. It's music.

    From the way Chris was talking , it sounds like the family still lived in the Pasadena house after a few albums . They were still paying off the "loan" from the crappy contract with Warner Bros .

    Chris is a fantastic guitarist. His sound is in the top few for me. W.A.S.P does not sound the same since he left. He has a great sense of humor too.

    I jammed with Chris in San Gabriel he had a rehearsal space lock out next door. Went to his spot for a beer and that Ibanez Explorer was laying against the wall. It was destroyed and unplayable, but I picked it up took all the mojo in. Eddie recorded VH1 with that guitar..

    Now here is a Guy that is truly humble, and knows his way around a fret board as well.

    I played through Chris’ Marshalls that were passed on to him by Edward. Had the Variac, etc and was the total early Edward tone - just wicked.

    Any one who judges themselves against Ed will be dejected and fail. Those who are inspired like me when I was 12 and wanted to play guitar, well he set the bar for our lifetime. Great interview..Chris, im grateful for your honesty and determination. Rock star you are sir, hope you are healing and on the mend.
