Exodus – Gary Holt Speaks About Bands New Sound and Lineup
antiMUSIC’s Morley Seaver spoke with Gary Holt leader of thrash legends EXODUS before their recent Montreal concert. Here’s what Gary had to say:
antiMusic: Overall, how has the sound of EXODUS in 2006 compare to any lineups of the past?
Gary Holt: Good question. Exodus at their peak with the original line up was as good as it gets. But the bottom line is there were certain members who were no longer anywhere near their peak. Tom was, like, before he had his, you know, full-on nervous breakdown and stuff he was, you know, starting to doubt how long he could continue to play this kind of music. This stuff was starting to take its toll on his body, so he wasn’t able to, you know always keep the aggression levels as high as I wanted, and as high as Paul can, and Rick with his drug problems, it was, you know, his lead playing was okay, his rhythm playing was terrible. And like now this band has never been as tight as it is now.
