EXODUS's GARY HOLT Is Almost A Year Sober: 'I'm Playing The Best I Ever Have'

EXODUS and SLAYER guitarist Gary Holt celebrated his 333rd day sober on Sunday, May 15. He wrote on his Instagram page: "Triples threes today, and never felt better.

"When I decided to quit drinking I wondered if I'd still be able to be a maniac on stage, would the rage diminish without some beers to 'loosen' me up, to release the animal on stage? Not in the least. I feel lucky I had a few warm up one off shows before the tour to adjust, but absolutely zero has changed other than I'm playing the best I ever have, my energy level never wains in the slightest, I have all the fury in the last song as I do in the first, and I'm usually in bed before midnight! It's AWESOME. And I thank my wife @lisaholt777 for supporting me in this life change. Wish I'd done it years ago. But when it's time it's time!

"Tonight, night two in Joliet! Bring it on".

Last fall, Holt opened up about his decision to quit drinking alcohol during an appearance on "Talking Bollocks", the monthly metal podcast hosted by ACID REIGN frontman-turned-stand-up-comedian Howard H. Smith. At the time, the now-58-year-old musician, who resides in Northern California, said: "Like millions of people worldwide, I was a victim of the pandemic. On tour, I always maintained and never hit the hangover stage. Maybe once in a five-week tour I'd wake up with a little bit of a headache, and that's one night when we decided to have a disco party and started cranking some funk music and drink a few extra beers. But then I'd come home and I'd only drink when I was watching some sports or having some people over — a couple of beers. I'd go out to a show and have two beers. And then I found myself with nothing but idle time. I live kind of in the woods now, and I'd sit outside — it's beautiful, it's summer, I'm surrounded by oak trees, and I'd just start drinking. [I was] drinking, like, 12, 13 beers, and I was drinking these double, triple IPAs [with] 10, 11 percent alcohol. 'Cause I was always a beer snob; I'd get out my proper glass for whatever beer I was drinking. And it just got to the point where I was getting depressed when I got drink; I wasn't happy anymore. 'Cause my whole livelihood had been taken away from me. I'm feeling the same stress and strain as everybody else. So I figured, man, I quit smoking, I quit doing drugs years ago — almost 20 years ago — [so] I could live without the alcohol. It's no big deal. I mean, I still drink non-alcohol beers, and there are some really good ones out there. It's the taste of beer that I would miss; I don't miss the buzz. And it also has a strong placebo effect."

Asked if he thinks it will be harder for him to stay sober once he gets back on tour, Holt said: "No, not at all. It doesn't mean I have a more solid willpower than anyone else, but I don't crave or feel any desire for alcohol. I'm a guy, when he quits something, he just quits it and he's just done with it. I'm hanging out with the other bandmates, I had dinner twice over the weekend, and Lee [Altus, EXODUS guitarist] is having real beers and I'm having Heineken 0.0s. I never [think], 'Hmm, I want what he's got.' It doesn't appeal to me anymore."

Holt's announcement that he had given up alcohol came seven months after his wife Lisarevealed that she had quit drinking in 2012 after using alcohol since she was 13 years old. She also thanked her husband and credited him for making her "want to be a better person. I definitely wouldn't have him or anything kick-ass in my life today if I hadn't made this choice [to quit drinking] 8 years ago," she wrote.

In Wiederhorn's book "Raising Hell (Backstage Tales From The Lives Of Metal Legends)", Holt reminisced about the lengths he and his onetime EXODUS bandmate Kirk Hammett (now in METALLICA) would go to nearly 40 years ago in order to get free alcohol.

"Near where we lived, we had a local liquor store called the Wagon Wheel that burned down," Holt recalled. "We had nothing to do with that, but we waded through the burnt rubble of this condemned building, risking life and limb to get to the alcohol. The bottles with plastic caps were all melted. Kirk had this old Buick Skylark. We called it the Skymobile. And we filled his trunk with gallons of whiskey bottles with these black melted caps on them. We were scavengers. It's part of what made EXODUS great, that hunger and ambition."

EXODUS recently announced the second North American leg of "The Bay Strikes Back Tour" with TESTAMENT and DEATH ANGEL. The trek will kick off on September 9 in Phoenix, Arizona and conclude on October 15 in San Jose, California.

EXODUS, TESTAMENT and DEATH ANGEL launched the first 2022 edition of "The Bay Strikes Back Tour" on April 9 at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, California.

EXODUS's new studio album, "Persona Non Grata", was released in November via Nuclear Blast Records. It is the follow-up to 2014's "Blood In Blood Out", which was the San Francisco Bay Area thrashers' first release since the departure of the group's lead singer of nine years, Rob Dukes, and the return of Steve "Zetro" Souza, who previously fronted EXODUS from 1986 to 1993 and from 2002 to 2004.

"Persona Non Grata" was recorded at a studio in Lake Almanor, California and was engineered by Steve Lagudi and EXODUS. It was produced by EXODUS and was mixed by Andy Sneap.

Главное чтобы и вялого не брал.

Грех такую дату пропускать . По такому поводу надо конечно выпить .

Лень искать, но он ведь уже год назад говорил, что перестал брать в рот?

17 май 2022

Mich

father, https://darkside.ru/news/138121/ в декабре говорил, видимо, на тот момент уже какое-то время не бухал

"Когда я решил бросить пить, я подумал, смогу ли я по-прежнему оставаться маньяком на сцене, уменьшится ли моя неистовость без пива"

Вот никогда не понимал такую точку зрения. Пиво - это потупить, кинцо посмотреть, уссаться и после отправиться баиньки, а он говорит об этом как о каком-нибудь энергетике

Mich, когда ты многолетний алкаш, без алкоголя ты абсолютно вялое тело, но стоит бахнуть пивасика и ты царь горы. Ну и не будем забывать, что ты банально более раскованно себя чувствуешь, вот и тянет по сцене прыгать, орать, рыгать и кидать козу.

Mich

ElectricRetard, фиг знает, видимо всё индивидуально. Мне стоит пару стаканов выпить - и всё, я зеваю и тупею ))

17 май 2022

ElectricRetard

Mich, мне кажется зависит от активности. Если я сяду смотреть кинцо меня реально размажет. А вот если я после бара в метро домой еду и в ушах какой-нибудь трэш митол долбит, то я тот долбоеб на которого косо смотрят, ибо хули он трясется, башкой крутит и играет на воображаемой гитаре, бгг.

father

Mich, а вот после третьего открывается второе дыхание;)

polos

Я раньше выпивал на сцене, ну так себе: раскованность плюс, техника минус. Сейчас всегда приезжаю-уезжаю на машине, чтобы даже когда из толпы суют стаканы - не было соблазна.

polos, чё за группа

Red One, сессионник в нескольких, обычный говнопанк и говнорок для игры в барах и на местных фестах.
