Gary Holt (Exodus, ex-Slayer)

Doc welcomes Exodus guitarist, Gary Holt, to the show and they talk about the challenges of navigating a divisive social media landscape, recording the new Exodus album with mutual friend and colleague, Steve Lagudi, the secret to the "Gary Holt guitar sound", how he adjusted his playing and sound in his time playing with Slayer, how playing with Slayer changed his life and his legacy, how injuries have hindered his playing in recent years, how the pandemic led to Gary getting sober, the 90s Black Album effect of thrash bands going more hard rock, and how Gary has stayed grounded due to the ups and downs of his career.

This episode features the songs "The Purest Black" by LIVLØS and "The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)" by Exodus.
