Chris Holmes - Interview - Cannes 2018 - Duke TV [FR-DE-ES-IT-RU Subs] 

I met Chris after the KFD gig in Wolverhampton UK. He was the most honest, polite and down to earth bloke I have ever met - proper salt of the earth! Had time to talk with the fans etc etc. Unlike someone else who clearly was having a monumentally bad night when he stormed out of the building and onto the bus... Chris said "...I just wanna play..." And you could tell he lived for every moment on stage! I was down the front getting drenched by his sweat during Animal and it fucking ROCKED!!!! Chris -You and Angus Young are the reasons I started playing guitar and 35 years later am still playing!!! Never fucking stop dude. You are a veteran who shall never die in our hearts! Best wishes from the UK. Ade.

YOU ARE THE REASON IM IN A BAND TO DAY

He’s getting better with every record.

Man he's as real as it gets. An 80s icon for sure. A relic of days gone by and he seems cool with that. Wishing Chris health and peace.

Always a fan of this guy.....cool til the end

I love Chris but get him a singer. Glad the dude is still around!

Good to see Chris is still around.

Always loved Chris Holmes! Glad he is back!

Great guitarist, and great person!!!!

Chris is right, it's horrible how the rock scene diminished in the US. Going through the 90's was like being punished for something you didn't do but eventually Heavy Metal bands started slowly coming back around but that depended where you lived, back then if you wanted to see a band live many times you would have to drive over an hour from home. It eventually got somewhat better in time, in the late 90's/early 2000's we'd have to drive to North Jersey from Philadelphia because many times bands were not getting booked here, the Metal scene was always way better in north Jersey then in Philadelphia. We made that trip dozens of times, I lost count. Unfortunately, as a whole Rock/Metal seems to be doing much better outside of the US. I'm jealous when I see the huge crowds in other countries versus what's happening here. It's mind-blowing how that happened.

His tone is so recognizable I love it!! Got to play with Chris back in 2003 and he’s still got it, Definitely one of the best!!

Awesome!! Very skillful. Flow is EXCELLENT!!!! Fun stuff. I hope you take care of yourself so I can enjoy this for years to come. I salute you /```

Great interview glad Chris is happy

Chris is awesome 👏!!!

Good for you, Chris. Keep forging ahead.

He's a talented guitar player. I'm glad he's still doing this.

Hell Yeah Chris do your thing your oldschool fans are still behind you. Kill the game🔥

Probably one of the coolest dudes around.

I can’t wait to hear this .. his voice is better each album & the guitars sound amazing on this .. the recording studio may get the best out of Chris’s sound. Can’t help but love this guy! .. I don’t go to many gigs now .. but I’m gonna get my ass off the sofa & go see him.

Some day when the time is right I will travel Europe with relocating in my mind. Being a rock guitar guy I can say it aint happening in the US. Good to see Chris staying active. The guy is a guitar monster.

Great to see Chris still doing it ,absolute maniac

Can't wait for the ep

It's great to see Chris clean and sober.

lov Chris Holmes.

This sounds really good! Good to see Chris is still kicking ass.

Chris, you are the man!!!

The kids at the recording console look scared...

I would love to see a gear review. Chris has always had a killer guitar sound. Buying this album. Can’t Waite.

God bless Chris!!!

Chris holmes us my all time favorite rock star . Love the guy

I like you Chris. I can say after being a long hair metal head and guitarist I know there is a God. God never changed, we did and do all the time. I studied it and there is A God. Bless you and peace to ypu.

there is so much pain iside both of them chris and blackie.

I enjoyed this interview. I will keep buying then until he stops

Sounds great ,all the best from great Britain Sheffield

yes chris!!!

I'm glad to see Chris's back n action hes killer man the real deal not a poser hail Chris's holmes

Chris is definitely playing and writing with sincerity. The stuff he's doing on his own is absolutely real. It's not great but I actually like it more because there's nothing fake about what Chris Holmes is up to nowadays.

Uno de mis guitarristas favoritos lo recuerdo con cariño

Fuck the haters, Keep on rockin' Chris. You will always be one of my main influences.

Keep doing it Chris!

A Hollywood Babylon legend

I just saw this video. Great that after WASP he found his place in France.🇫🇷. I don't go to shows anymore. I had my part in the 80s and 90s but seeing Chris live again in my town I would go. I don't live far away in Belgium 😀

Kickin Ass!🤘

Too be honest I have been trashing him lately..but the more I watch him the more I see a Motorhead style music !!! Idk but I think he is going too do well!!!

Play and sing the way to want too. It sounds like you and the way you want it. Keep on Rockin!!!!!!

je suis batteur et nous avions joué sur le même festival, avec mon groupe de metal prog de l'époque. super souvenir, Chris et son groupe, des mecs ultra sympa, son concert génial !!!! je suis un fan de Wasp de mon adolescence, merveilleux souvenir sa rencontre...

Gotta love the Holmes.

This guys guitar tones, and leads, were what made the first few WASP albums jump out at me. (Of course alongside Blackies voice/vocals) But as a guitar player, holy shit, that was mind blowing to me! Chris STILL has the same sound! Thank you Mr Holmes for all the inspiration over the years!

That Jackson is sweet!

The Neil Young of Meeeeetal!

cool!

I love Chris i'm glad that he doing will with his music career and put W.A.S.P behind him. Rock on Chris.

Man, Chris is just the most down to earth Good Guy! He seems like someone I'd hang out with Every day!

He's spot on about American live venues not being around any longer... I've got to confess I was one of those that gave Chris a hard time and wasp after that interview because of how he was with his mum...little did I and many others know the shit upbringing he had at the hands of his mum....so Chris I apologise and it's GRT to see you still going and getting even better...will be keeping an eye out for him coming to the UK,maybe the Tivoli or Wrexham which has GRT acoustics....

chris a guitar god and true musician long live chris keep rocking sexy

Chris has a really likeable personality and he's badass

It’s like saying that guitar built its self and is playing itself!!

Chris Holmes is a really good guy.

Holmes was so badass in wasp.. the guy was a great rock star I always felt.. he just did it right I thought..

He's iconic and a true person .he's kinda like Lemmy playing guitar. One of the nicest cool guys I ever met.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😄🎈😄🎈😄🎈😄🎈😄🎈😄🎈😄🎈😄🎈😃

Chris is amuch underated guitarist - maybe not as gifted as george lynch or jake e lee - his 80s peers - but a tasteful fiery axeman in his own right - always loved his playing

Fuck yah!!! Keep on rockin Mr. MEAN MAN Youngstown, Ohio

Did this ep ever come out or what I've been looking allover the place and cant find it wish someone would put it on youtube if its available

Man he can play glad to see him doing great wish W.A.S.P would get together with Chris& Rod"🤘🤘🤘

Did this ever come out? Don't see it anywhere.

PLEASE tour the US just once more!!! PLEASE!!!

Chris is great, he just does his thing, play mean man heavy metal, love it! That signiture guitar tone is stek´llar, it was what defined WASP, that together with Blackies unique amazing voice. Too bad Blackie was a douche concerning Chris =/ Yes, Chris should play guitar and do backing vocals =)

How do i get a copy of the ep

its better and better ,

There can be no WASP without Chris Holmes and of course Blackie Lawless!!!!

I feel America failed him .how can one person give so much in the music world of the LA Hollywood scene and be forgotten .it's criminal.just watch how this guy performed at shows.He would bring it hard.

Blinkin heck !: my first immiediate thought on seeing the cover of "Under the Influence" was.....Turin Shroud !??

Cool Guy

I didn't know David Allen Coe was so metal....

Man I cant believe he's never gotten royalties from WASP.

Where did all his guitars end up

I'm glad Chris is still flying the flag and taking it to the mountain. It's nice to hear him admit to being an atheist , sometimes it can be hard to come out of the closet about atheism, but in 2020 that is slowly starting to change.

This motherfucker is Rock N Roll and always has been. Hope he cut the meth out finally (he looks really good!). Top 5 favorite guitarist of all time

If its one thing chris and blackie do agree on this days,is that they never play on US soil anymore,they get better offers elsewhere,especially in the hard rock scene in europe

One of the GREATEST guitar players EVER!!!!!!! The ALMIGHTY Chris Holmes!!!!! He's right metal is dead in the USA. Its all shit garbage like rap, r&b, motown shit!!!!!!

I used to always confuse Chris and Robbin Crosby from Ratt during the 80's. They looked alot alike to me.

Chris can PUMP OUT THE ROCK FOR SURE. IT IS TOO BAD THAT HIM & BLACKIE HAD A BIG FALLING OUT...

That's some funny shit. Chris talking; ' There's no Heaven there's no Hell God's not real' cut to Chris singing, The Devil made me do it. Lmao

Nice to see Chris as a 'survivor'. Why did he leave WASP initially anyway?

He's had that beat up Yellow Jackson since at least the first WASP record

real shit

I admire Chris for being a realist and I’m not going to encroach on his beliefs, however, God sent his own son to die on the cross for the atonement of the sins of mankind as a one time sacrifice. The simple part is access to God through prayer to Jesus Christ, the hard part is living the Christian life.
