STL Tones has shared a new video featuring Exodus guitarist Gary Holt. He talks in-depth on what to expect from his ToneHub expansion pack, along with his unlikely start as a guitarist, musical heroes, his current gear of choice, and why at the end of the day all that matters is the almighty riff.

Holt: "I got started in the music industry after I met Kirk Hammett (Metallica). We became really good friends; I was his guitar roadie at first. One day he asked me if I wanted to learn a chord, and then he taught me some random Rolling Stones song; I can't remember what it was. Six months later I was in the band. We were at a rehearsal and he asked me if I wanted to play a song, and I played Judas Priest's 'Grinder'. It was the first song I ever played with Exodus, and they asked me if I wanted to join (the band). Been there ever since."

Exodus have joined forces with Fit For An Autopsy to announce a US tour in November and December.

Says Exodus: "We are excited to announce that we will be touring the US in November/December with Fit For An Autopsy, as well as Darkest Hour and Undeath, this is a tour you don’t want to miss!"
