December 30, 2007, 16 years ago
SeaOfTranquility.org recently caught up with EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt. The following is an excerpt from the story:
Despite being a major force on the metal scene since the early/mid-80's, the band has seen its share of line-up changes. Over the last 15 years, members Paul Bailoff, Steve "Zetro" Souza, Rob McKillop, Paul Bostaph, Rick Hunolt, and Tom Hunting, all came and went, some a few times (Hunting is recently back in the fold), and the band recruited some new blood in the form of former Heathen guitar slinger Lee Altus, vocalist Rob Dukes, and bassist Jack Gibson.
"I never think of them as being the 'new' guys, they are just my fellow bandmates, and amazing ones at that," says Holt of the more recent additions to the band. "It's like they have been here since the dawn of the band."Altus especially is a real household name on the thrash scene, clocking in quite a bit of time with Exodus contemporaries Heathen. You would think that both Exodus and Lee would be pretty psyched to have finally hooked up together after all these years?
“It feels fucking incredible!” says Gary. “I am so lucky to have him in this band. We've been friends since the Kirk Hammett days, so we obviously go way back and he understands what Exodus is all about and where we are going.”Go to this location for the full story.
