Even though I think slayer should've disbanded after Jeff died, Gary is by far the best person they could've chosen. Classy guy.

+imyourgodmachine I agree, and I also agree that Gary Holt is the only person who was or is remotely capable of coming close to filling Jeff's tremendous void. They do sound great live with Gary. I still wish Slayer would do a proper Jeff Hanneman tribute, or that someone would. A nice DVD retrospective of his career with archival footage, interviews and what not. He deserves more than just a nice memorial t-shirt to me. Slayer are under no contract at the moment and could do what they wanted and Jeff's legacy needs to be better preserved and presented for all to see.

And an amazing thrash player

Jeff and Gary are 2 of some of the greatest guitarists

Jeff was Slayer. I won't lie, every time I hear his solos in The Antichrist or Seasons in the Abyss (among a few others) I still get a bit choked up. Thrash metal lost one of its kings, and seeing Gary - another Thrash god - talk about him is cathartic in a lot of ways. R.I.P. Jeff.

I think the same. He wrote alot of classic riffs. King is highly overrated and a arrogant dick. Jeff and Tom. That was MY slayer. Like you said that solo in seasons.. I play guitar , 21 years, i hate solos, to me it oten to mutch showin' off, but that one i can enjoy truly over and over again.

IMO, Gary Holt is a great, I don't want to say replacement, because nobody could replace Hanneman, but a addition to Slayer. Moreso than anybody else I can think of.

I like Gary!

I saw Slayer live with Jeff 8 times and then saw the final tour with Gary and he absolutely blew me away. A perfect tribute to one of my biggest guitar heros and an all around classy dude.

I saw Testament/Exodus last night, sadly, Gary had a gig with Slayer, so I could not see one of my favorite alive guitarists.

jacktv6363 Of course Jeff can never be replaced, but Gary is a good fit. They sound just as good with him now as they sounded during reign in blood. When I saw them, they only played stuff from Reign, Seasons in the Abyss, and South of Heaven, and they sounded spot on. Even Tom's singing seems to be getting better. If I closed my eyes and listened, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

+jacktv6363 I became Exodus fan few years ago and attended Slayer shows twice to see Gary play live, but when Exodus finally came to play in where I live, he wasn't with them. Disappointment.

people are saying "slayer should have called it quits after jeff died" like it's so fucking easy! man, this guys have been doing this for most of their lives, it's really not easy to just quit.. one guy is fallen but the rest marches on because what else can you do? nothing! i'm postive jeff wouldn't want them to quit slayer and see their asses on couch all day he would be like " hey fuckers get to work, i might be gone but yall still have a job to do" rip jeff definately gone too soon but as long as he lives in our memory, he will never die 🙏

Got to meet him when Slayer played back in June and he is very laid back and super cool. What you see is what you get with Gary. Shot the shit and smoked a cig with him before he got on the bus. Met Kerry that night too and again with Tom back in 2001. Meet Jeff in 2002. Jeff was really nice. Kerry's really cool too. If you act like a douche that's how he'll treat you. I guess it's how they're feeling when you approach them. I read a lot on KZread on how Kerry's stuck up. Not the two times I met him.

One of the best at his art and so humble Followed Exodus from the start Keep Rocking Mr Holt 🤘👹

Class human being. RIP Hanneman.

Gary was the reason Slayer kept at it after Jeff's passing. They let him do his thing on solos for Repentless and he killed it!! He would also put his own pazaz in Jeff's solos so that he can make them sound unique. Gary did a hell of a job. I'm thankful he stepped in so Slayer could still go out on top. Looking forward to hearing a new Exodus record!

gary is such a chill person also and there is not a single tribute band that plays better then him.

Gary did a killer job r.i.p jeff

Gary Holt, my guitar hero, has spoken! \m/

Precious to hear Gary on Jeff, thanks a lot for this.

Gary is one of the most METAL dudes to ever walk this Earth, and is really the ONLY choice to try to fill that huge void. It's really cool to hear him be so respectful when he talks about Jeff...he is one class act for sure.

I cannot even think of anybody better than Gary to take Jeff's place. He is a gentleman and has been amazing for Slayer in his own way. Same goes for Paul too. Love Slayer. What song is the intro riff to Loudwire anyone?

I was there for the BIG 4 in Indio California April 2011, killer show, SLAYER owned the night, Jeff came out for South of Heaven & Angel of Death, the night couldn't have been better, RIP the original ANGEL OF DEATH! Hanneman STILL REIGNING!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!!!!!

Gary Holst one of the baddest guitar players ever he plays total respect to Jeff hanneman what a awesome dude I'm so glad I got to watch Exodus grow up here in the Bay area I'm so lucky

GRRRRR, what sunglasses are these!?!?!? So nice, id love to rock those.

2 years Without U brother Hanneman but you and your evil riffs will always be immortalized in our souls RIP Jeff Reign in your South of Heaven

RIP my Guitar hero Jeff Hannamen🤘🤘

RIP Jeff. We miss ya man.

Jeff is my favorite guitarist ever. I have been playing 30+ years. I have forgotten how many times I have seen Slayer. (it isn't the booze and drugs). I am a guitarist!!!! Gary is different. I love him in Exodus. It has taken me until Nov 2019 to like him in Slayer. He did his time, but not even that. Obviously he is talented enough to play the shite Jeff wrote, but what about new? Is it all King? Can someone tell me? To get back. There are two guitars players I follow. Obviously 1 was Jeff. Gary uses different stuff. Some guitarist for a newer metal band bought all Jeff's stuff. I'll add details to this about that. I think they are death metal though, and Jeff....no. I'm sure he would like the guy (his wife did and he told her he sell them). I'm going to follow this band. I'll update, but to you this is old.

RIP jeff

As I am watching this, I was looking through Facebook and not only is it Star Wars day. It's also Gary Holt's birthday.

Dude your Gary Holt of Exodus and Slayer not the other way around

Gary talked about the venom tour wow!!! That was called tbe ultimate revenge tour 1985. I have seen the whole concert EXODUS SLAYER VENOM!!!!!!!!

Jeff getcha a pull..R.I.P

Gary was definitely a great choice .

nice.

I have been a fan of Gary's since Bonded by Blood and have always thought there really is a Big 5 not 4. Exodus included. In 1985 they were on the same level as the others except of course Metallica who has always been above the everyone else.

Dude, Metallica musically is the worst out of the big four. All the other thrash metal bands like Sodom, Kreator, Exodus, Havok, Megadeth, Slayer, Annahilator, Destruction are 100x better than tallica, i know this is late but better late than never i guess

My cat died from someone poisoning it today. May 2 will be a day i will always remember and not for good reasons

Definitely a cool cat.

That's cuz Gary knows all of Jeff's riffs and solos down to the note

Sentinel; Gary fucking Holt.

3:26 What is this tune? Awesome!

Does anyone nows about Garys jacket where i can find?

Gary Holt is a food dude

What's that song in the beginning? That riff?

Mind if I ask what is the intro song?

Gary you still owe me twenty bucks

:D

Gary plays better with Exodus, his solos with Slayer sound "sloppy"

Personally I'm not a fan of this guy. He'll bring the end of slayer. They need someone who will bring new life to the band.
