Chris Holmes - Born Work Die (Official Music Video) 

The world needs Chris Holmes. May he live long and prosper.

I can't help it; I just love Chris's solo stuff. It's SO raw and uncompromising, The guy can't sing a note and I absolutely don't care. He's still a great guitar player and the songs are catchy as Hell. Keep rockin' Chris!

Chris Holmes IS Heavy Metal. Other guys play it. He lives it.

How could you not love this guy.

This is the spirit that's missing in the so called contemporary music industry.

The best WASP guitarrist ever. End of the discussion. I love his tune and riffs on the first five albums.

Despite the negative comments I'm actually digging this, there's no lying here, just a guy doing what he wants to do and with a smile on his face... and that's cool. It's good to see someone having fun, no huge production values just a tongue in cheek presentation of a catchy honest song... nice one Chris and all the best!

CAN'T SING A NOTE, YET, STILL ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS EVER ! KEEP ROCKING CHRIS !

Ya know what. Keep it up Chris. This is how rockers should be. Writing the stuff that makes them happy. I support you dude.

Yeah, the good, "old", cheesy rock and roll. Loved it. I don't get the haters tho. It's obvious this is what Chris wants and likes to do, and if you want something deep, go listen to Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Rush or whatever the fuck you want. Leave the man be and let him do what makes him happy. If you don't like it, move on. Life is short, and wasting time on hate is a luxury. Rock on, Chris! \m/

I for one am very happy that his prediction that he would be dead in 10 years during the pool scene did not come true.The best thing he has done for himself personally has been to give up the drink.I have always respected and appreciated what Chris has done through his career.It is great to see that he is still doing what he loves to do, and still having a blast doing it. Kudos to the man.If you make it to Australia one day then I am there

Great job Chris on doing the music you want to do.....let the haters hate...you just keep being you....it's why us fans love ya!🎸🎸

Chris is a legend. One of the ultimate 80's icons. He and Blackie were the heart and soul of W.A.S.P.

To me Chris Holmes was W.A.S.P., no Chris, no W.A.S.P. Its great to see / hear him doing his own thing. Making good time, Sing-along , classic rock music. I love hearing the fun put back into rock music.

Music is expression, and Chris shows what he likes best- guitars, bikes, and his family I'm sure. His music is raw, in your face and not using fake synthesizer crap. Also like the tools inside his garage. A real man's hangout!

It's so refreshing to hear some real music in this day in age that's so genuine. I hope Chris gets his due on the new material he's putting out since it's criminal that more music sites aren't picking up on this. So far I've been impressed with everything I've heard, and the songs get stuck in my head like Love Machine and Wild Child did 30 years ago. I really like the videos and his sense of humor too. He's delivering his classic WASP tone, but putting the cool bluesy spin on things with his new sound and look that's awesome in 2015. Eddie Trunk get this guy on your show!

always liked his guitar tone a lot. perfect rhythm tone for metal.

I dig it! Raw, True to life, uncensored, Rockin', always been a Chris Holmes fan, and for the record, W.A.S.P was at their best when Chris was in the band, especially the first 2 albums. I'll Forever Rock with ya brother, You got My support 🤘💀

Not a bad song Chris. Good to see you again after all of these years.

Miss you in W.A.S.P. Mr Chris Holmes.Love you

I really like the guitar tone Chris is rocking here

My favorite W.A.S.P. guitarist by far. It's good to see he's still rocking and cranking out catchy tunes. There's a good solid hook here. I've heard people knock his vocals, but it is what it is. It's not going to appeal to everyone and they shouldn't try. There will always be those who appreciate it for what it is. It's good to see he's still being creative.

I can't believe there are people bagging this Guy I bet you couldnt even come close to what has achieved in his life . I love his singing and his music he is a legend and you don't have to be a so called great singer to be accepted it's all about originality and I think his brilliant

Great song and lyrics! That's the way anyone should perform true rock n'roll. The man has a great life, lots of fun, and his band sounds great! God, some haters are so wrong and wasting their lives. Enjoy or move on!

Chris, Burt here...dude love the new tune. Dude it's great...the vid is great as well Chris...congratulations on the new drummer David Amore...he's really good!!!! I'm happy for you man.

People, you are really not getting it. Are the lyrics written at a 3rd grade level? Yes. Is the subject being trivialized? Of course. Are the guitar chords used basic and entry level? Absolutely. This is a guy who obviously is a motor head (gear head, wrench head, etc) and likes a good foot tapping, hard rocking, basic song structure with a 4/4 beat and not much substance. But that is the point! Just a good ol' boy with a beat up old guitar and and a desire to express himself. The bass is locked in with the drums to drive the riff, and throw some power chords on top...*BAM!* You got it.

Great honest song, good voice too! Long Beach '87, my ears are still ringing. Keep on rockin'

Wow ,how is there so much hate for this? Im happy chris is still alive, and two i think this is better than 95% of yhe shit thats on the radio today. Give the man a break....

Fuck the haters! This is fucking awesome! Chris Holmes is rocking it better than ever!! This is raw hard rock at it's best Chris Holmes style! Anybody who grew up listening to 80's metal & in particular Chris Holmes from the WASP era, knows that this kicks ass! Fucking love it!! Keep rockin Chris! \m/

He is born to rock!!!! Chris makes true R'n'R to stay alive! Rock on...mean man \m/

Great song Chris, great vid as well!!! Congratulations on the new drummer David Amore!!!

Right on Chris!! I love this song and video! Always keeping it true man! Thanks

I love Chris’ genuine attitude! Cool song with an amazing Guitar tone! You rule. Mean Man!

Honestly this song's lyrics speak for 90% of Americans. We are the backbone of this country and we get screwed.

I like it. Good guitar sound, the song is good and he's clearly having fun! Rock on Chris!!

Chris Holmes may have had a better waist in the past, but it's fun to see he's still just as charismatic. Just in a different way. Today he seems more authentic. Foremost his guitar playing still sounds as good as it did in the 80s. All the best to him!!!

See you live in Norway again soon in 2024 Chris. The real WASP.

Chris Holmes and Zakk Wylde should have a band together.

Haha... can not stop watching this. Good job Chris!

FUCKING AWESOME! Chris Holmes ROCKS!

So much more enjoyable than crap that gets played on the radio now, and that clean sounding bluesy parts at the begining and middle of the song are awesome.

This is awesome, I love the riffs and lyrics !!! Hope you come to Toronto !!

Chris obviously still loves music. Catchy as hell and lots of fun. Keep kicking ass, Chris!

I found this through blabbermouth. Of course they had nothing good to say about it. On first listen I wasn't so sure what I thought but then the song was stuck in my head all day. I've since watched this video several times and I really love it. Is this a single off a record or no? Really cool stuff. Rock on Chris!

Chris you are awesome! You're the best heavy metal guitarist and your sound is the best! Wish you a good recovery and good health for many years to come!

Thx Chris and Mean Man ♥ great song !!!!!!

Так держать,Крис! Очень рад,что не стоишь на месте.Продолжай в том же духе!Привет тебе из Калининграда,и спасибо за автограф!

Awesome Chris. So glad you are doing whatchya love.

Yeahhhh!! Another great song Mr. Holmes. Hold your fire until death my brother! Cheers from Brazil

I love Chris. It is great to see him still kicking ass and having a good time. I come from a younger generation, I'm only 25 but I've been a fan of his work since I was a teen when I first heard the debut W.A.S.P & The Last Command. Much respect from Australia. I hope I can still be playing music when/if I get to Chris' age.

Bought his 'CH project' CD recently . Like to think the money is going to him. Wish him all the best.

Tune is kinda catchy. Found myself humming to it after listening. Was a big surprise when i found this video, but a welcome one.

Badass!! This is true rock n' roll! Keep rockin Chris, love it!!

Absolutely love this.

this sounds real, positive, and rocking! these youngsters dont know what rocks!! sounds great !!!

Respect Mr Holmes! Back after so many Years! You are one of my fav Guitar Players ever! The solo is awesome yyou still got it!

This dude reminded me of a cross between Charles manson and David Allan Coe. I remember WASP way way back in the day and I liked them. Glad to see Chris is still rockin!!

Chris is Awesome!! If love to see him and Randy Piper reunite an write some songs together!!

It’s ok to like Chris and hate his new music. I’m glad he’s still doing what he enjoys.

Its so good that Chris is still with us.

This song is my life's anthem

Pure rock n' roll!!!

What the hell, this song is definitely 1 of the greats. I might actually buy this and I haven't bought music in quite some time

Good for you Chris!!!!, no doubt that it cames from your heart man and you play music 'cause you really like it, keep it doing, to me you 're the axe man, when w.a.s.p. came to Argentina in 2010 I did not go to see them 'cause you 're not with them anymore, I wish to meet you some day and to see you on an stage live, be well my friend

fuck it!! lets have a beer. You keep rockn' Chris!!!!! fuck the haters!!!!

grandioso Chris saludos desde Argentina, Great job Chris regards from Argentina

Won’t get out of debt till there’s nails in my coffin, truer words never spoken

Chris’s vocals might not be the greatest, but this song has balls, big ones!!

true rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!.....true life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1987, listening to HipHop😮 then I was given a tape of W.A.S.P. Live in the Raw. Been a fan since

Is it me or is Chris Holmes the only person that can rock a vape and look badass doing it? LET IT ROAR!!!!

awesome stuff...great music. .amazing guitarist

If there was one guy from the Eighties L.A. metal scene who embodied the spirit of rock and roll, it's Chris Holmes. I'm glad to see him looking happy and healthy, making the music he wants to make.

If everyone who views this video gave Chris a dollar he would be set

Am I imagining it or does this song seem like a bit of a middle finger at Blackie Lawless and Kill Fuck Die? Like twist up the chorus lyrically, give a wink and a smirk and that finger is aimed at Blackie. But again, maybe it's just me imagining it. I tend to overthink things. Regardless, good stuff. This is Holmes at his best, a little laid back, a little bit of a punk attitude thrown in. Hope you keep on giving us more, Chris. Song like this makes my day a little bit better.

Nobody knows how much good and exciting memories I have with your performances Mr. Holmes, since the time you were in W.A.S.P. I also admire your new band. Of course, this song which I like very much. Thanks man. Keep rocking on.

i love this man and his music since i was 12 from wasp u know

Gotta chance to meet you and Blackie ,on your Animal release at the Troubadour thanks for the memories love you Chris

It doesn't get more honest than this. Keep it coming Chris! :-)

I'm gonna have to be painfully honest here, people. His guitar skills are unquestionable, that much is obvious. He's a relic of the 1980s, as was the band he played for. But can we come to agreement that Chris Holmes should never be allowed anywhere near a microphone? *Ever?*

love it chris, keep up the good work :)

EXCELLENT!!! Mr. Holmes, This is the first time I have heard you and your band. Your unique phrasing and 2+ fret bending of notes leads me to believe that you should be recognized as one of the most talented Guitarist's in the world. If I may add the following; the truth of your lyrics and vocal delivery, (combined with your band members talent) shall prove to be an "inspiration to all the aspiring young musicians" who appreciate "Heavy Metal" (especially "H.M. Blues") as I have since the days of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, etcetera. Thankfully, the integrity and purity of this genre is being carried on by you in this day of "corporately polluted trash dump air-wave sounds" that are being promoted to young people in the "sadly degenerating and spastic U.S.A Inc.". Thanks for Inspiring one of the "good old timers! Now to get back to playing my Rickenbacker.

I had *such* a crush on you Chris when we were next door neighbors in La Canada on Viro in the 70's! That ski skateboard you made was EPIC - as was the water on the knee episode. To this day, I hear Smoke On The Water and I "see" you guys playing in the garage! So awesome to see you still rocking!

that is rock n roll!! keep on rockin' Chris

I dig this tune. Chris is one hell of a guitarist and he tells it like it is. No made up BS. HES A GOOD GUY .. glad he’s still jamming and finally having fun with his life. -.. crank it up!!!

I bought this record and was very pleased with it. It's straight up honest singer songwriter territory.

Chris, you've been my idol since I was was 9. That was in 1988. Thanks for all the cool licks!

Great song and lyrics. Please come someday to Argentina!!

Cool Chris super cool just put 31 years at Chrysler retire dec23 this year cool song
