The Metalheadz recently conducted an interview with EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt during the Thrash Fest Tour in Europe with KREATOR, DEATH ANGEL and SUICIDAL ANGELS. Watch the video below:
As previously reported, Exodus have announced they will open for the legendary IRON MAIDEN on April 10th at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile.
Guitarist Gary Holt shares the exciting news: "We had two shows left on the Thrash Fest Tour, everybody was tired and burned out, and then I got word that Exodus will open for the one-and-only Iron Maiden in Chile! Best news ever! Just unbelievable! There's no one bigger than Iron Maiden in South America. I've seen the DVD footage of their shows down in that part of the world, and to actually get to open for them ANYWHERE is amazing! But down there? Absolutely spectacular! We’ll be playing Santiago with my heroes - a band whose songs we were covering at backyard parties - in front of 65,000 people! Suddenly we all got a big second wind! Stoked beyond belief is an understatement!"
Four months out, 22,000 tickets to this concert have already been sold. José Luis Corral, the event’s producer, states: "We added Exodus to expose the audience to something more extreme and also to have another classic name fundamental in the history of hard rock [on the bill] and very important for a generation of Chilean metalheads. I think it's the first time they’ve played together."
