Summary

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk my guest is the Trash Metal legend Gary Holt of Exodus and Slayer.

Gary grew up in the Bay Area in the 70's and fell in love with Hard Rock guitar players like Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker and Ted Nugent.

Gary started going out to clubs and seeing shows where he eventually met Kirk Hammett at an early Exodus show. They quickly became friends and soon Gary found himself in Exodus.

This Episode we dive into the history of Exodus and Thrash Metal.

We also talk about Gary's time in Slayer, Recording Bonded By Blood and of course The Coronavirus.
