  • Chris Holmes has been sober a long time now.  He's doin fine.

  • He could kinda pass off for Kurt Russell's alcoholic twin, no?

  • that guys pool is 20 proof

  • when he opened the bottle it made a clicking sound.Its real.What a shame,but im an addict,so I dont feel so cool either.

  • If i was his father i'd be really disappointed.. not only for him being a failure at life, but for being miserable.

  • poser pussy!!!!

  • LOSER 

  • I'm telling you, he's acting. The director is Penny Sphreris, who went on to direct 'Wayne World' almost immediately after this. Holmes has admitted in a slew of interviews that he was acting.

  • women who fuck their sons make powerful men.

  • @lester5192 you sick piece of shit..... go jump of a cliff you incest bastard.......

  • @sausageNmash1990 you gotta dirty mouth...i like it.

  • Has to be vodka.

  • what kind of metal madman that's probably been drunk most of his nights most of his life needs to PRETEND that he's a drunk? who's he trying to impress? his mom? listen to the shit that comes out of his mouth. you can't make up babbling incoherent nonsense like that nor would you want to. the guy's a fuckin drunk i can assure you and probably wishes he wasn't in this stage of the game.

  • 1. He opens a second brand new bottle. 2. He face is nearly dry from the evaporation by the end of the vid. 3. If u pay close attention near the end of the vid, right b4 he jumps in, he actually has a THIRD bottle. Sadly, lol, it's real. Now all u trolls shut up, plz.

  • all you clowns that are wondering if he's a drunk or not....what part of "imu fwull bwown achohowhic" don't you understand? 

  • Any of you doubters out there must not be alcholics. This rant is straight out of an AA meeting. Trust me. I know. I drank like that for years.

  • " I enjoy life."

    then

    "I don't being the person I am, and I just don't like it."

    Hmm, I wonder why he drinks.

  • @Moh1Z You might use rubbing alcohol to wash yuor face, but I highly doubt you've ver poured rubbing alcohol into your eyes, or even close to your eyes.

    The burning from alcohol and the human eye lasts for hours, days.

  • Still don't believe that this is nothing more than Chris doing what he does best, play a part...

  • Don't remember this fine musician for this stupid video - he partied a lot less than other guys. Everybody here who wasn't drunk once in the 80s raise your hand!

  • Chris is a guitar genius - he shouldn't be remembered for this stupid video. Yes he was drunk, who the hell wasn't in the 80s music scene.

  • @tacomadc actually, he SHOULD be remembered for this, or at least commended. this was the big eye opener to the glam metal scene; it had become an inflated industry full of copycats and money grubbers. this scene is the eye-opening crux that allowed the public to realise that it wasn't all that it was cut out to be.

  • ...I don't ever want to be that.

  • That's fake, I don't care how hardcore of a drunk you are that 100 proof Smirnoff would burn your eyes first of all,2nd I've known a couple of strait up vodka junkies and they couldn't drink like that without curling up their face a little at least.

  • Did he dieded??

  • No way that isn't water. He would've burned his eyes. He also would be dead from chugging a liter of vodka. I dont care how high his tolerance was

  • Everyone,

    Chris is acting in this interview. He poured a bottle of grain alcohol over his head and had his eyes open during part of it. The bottle was full of water and Chris is pretending to be drunk, it was part of Penny's movie. Chris Holmes' mother, who is the lady you see in this clip, has given numerous interviews saying this is a decent bit of acting on her son's part.

  • @cooktree You can't pretend to slur like that. He's obviously extremely drunk. He's not acting. Obviously his mother would say that to make it seem like her son is not really like what you see on this film. His eyes are not open when he's pouring it on his face, and he's not chugging a liter of vodka - most of it is going right past his mouth.

  • @Moh1Z Get a brain in that empty space of your cranium. If you don't believe me, here's the proof.

    Go get yourself a bottle of 100 Proof vodka and go sit in your bathtub. Put some water in it for safety, lol. Then, open that 40 oz'er and start pouring it over your head, and your face, just like you thought you saw Chris do in the movie. Feel that extreme burning sensation? Wow, is that reality letting you know that Chris had water in the bottle he used?

    Any questions now little greenhorn..?

  • @cooktree I use rubbing alcohol every day to wash my face (I have acne). It doesn't burn at all. I doubt that it's any different from the vodka, although it may be. Maybe people have different skin sensitivity?

  • @cooktree

    Maybe he's just too drunk to care about what pouring vodka on his face will do. Seems pretty apparent that he is completely and utterly drunk in this. You do stupid stuff when drunk.

  • @cooktree If you were his mom, wouldn't you say the same thing?

  • Hew should drinke sake and hang out with Tokyo girls

  • i like what he stands for: " f*** this , im gonna be drunk and live the rock n roll lifestyle and i dont care what people think"

  • This scene isn't too far from reality. Chris was/is a raging alcoholic. By the same token, he has an amazing talent for the guitar. In the studio he knows tons of tricks to getting a great sound. And he really knows how to mix and match guitar effects just as good, if not better than most sound engineers. He also saved my ass a few times on the strip. When he's sober he is one of the coolest guys you are ever gonna meet. If he's loaded, man, look out.

  • seems you a** h*les don't realize that this clip is almost 20 years old!!!!! and if you even knew, he's sober now and been back with WASP since 95! WOW! bunch of idiots!

  • This Is Sad... This Is Very Sad!!!

  • He drank the vodka before the interview, so they filled it with water for dramatic effect

  • @iEatBabies0666 your fuckin retared that was real liquor

  • @Arsonloke

    Chris admitted to this himself, plus, have you ever gotten vodka in your eyes before?

  • @iEatBabies0666 exactly

  • самодовольный урод., Как можно смотретьь на эту гниду?

    Я очень любил ВАСП. Но эта гнида - эта пиздец.

    Крис - ты Мудак.

    \С большой буквы

  • man this is pretentious

  • I tried that and I almost drowned rock and roll yeah

  • Hes not a scientologist like Billy sheehan? God that video was creepy, dont see it..

  • All that fuckin work and he ends up shittin it away on Vodka.

    Where's your money now Chris? .....Dickhead.

  • @barjan1 What money? Blackie stole it all.

  • @4JayeP ?

  • @4JayeP Agreed. But if he was SOBER maybe Blackie wouldn't have gotten away with it.

  • i'd like to party with that guy!

    haha

  • nice job chris lol

  • Devastating footage man

    

  • Sad...

  • It's water, if it was vodka he wouldn't be able to open his eyes.

  • @jockedahl123 he was already super drunk...

  • its water...

  • that is water in the vodka bottle. but he was already pretty trashed before the interview began. heres evidence /watch?v=31b7u_9HzOg

  • check out this if you like this video. primitivesteel dottttttt commmmmm

  • I remember watching this movie and even back then, I said he'll be dead in a couple of years.

    Chris Holmes is a great guitar player but he needs help.

    Maybe James from Metallica should do a intervention.

    There is nothing wrong with a few drinks but that's a bit much.

  • so funny and sad all at once....

  • The best heavy metal band ever is Helix! Of course, I am a Canadian Jewish homosexual, so that might explain why I feel that way.

  • lol i play in a band with his alleged love child. it's an excellent basis for cracking jokes.

  • Chris Holmes is cool

  • That is not water, that's vodka. Blackie said it was vodka. And since when in the 80s did Chris drink water?

  • don't care bout' he drinks vodka or watter ! he's the real 80's heavy metal icon !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • to watch the full video look up "decline of the western civilization" it's toward the end of the documentary.

  • Epic video...it was apparently "water" but none the less he did drink like a fish, and is still alive and rocking out!

  • and has been sober going on 13 years.

  • it's only water....lol

  • why do you think its just water-he's a rock star lol

  • of course its vodka. this is chris holmes. true rockstar

  • i have no idea, i dug wasp in my younger days. i saw Brian posehn(comedian) telling a story of how he met Holmes when he was a kid.and holmes was a real asshole to him...i cant seem to find any interviews with him..cant get a word in sideways of Blackie...anyone know of any??

  • Hahahaaa.Chris Holmes a fake drinker? He's drinking water? Hahahaaaa...TRUST ME,I would put money that most of that pool is Rivera Vodka!!! Chris was an amazing guitar player and person....Still is!!! However,alot has changed in his life since this video was shot over 20+ years ago.Thats Chris's mom they keep showing....and she drank the shit out of vodka aswell.-Benjamin

  • doesn't anyone have a clear copy of this???? i want to send it to my freinds, shitty quality!!!

  • Chris this is your sponsor give me a call!

  • Comment removed

  • I remember seeing this 20+ years ago. Amazing how i thought it was cool then now i am not so sure. I have major alcohol issues myself. AMAZING guitarist though. Go Chris

  • how sad x

  • wow thats sad

  • A drunk who an make some kickass music unlike today's depressing rock. REAL FUCKIN

  • that's water

  • but this guy is able to instill into each other

  • what a fucken idiot chris is not dead i dont no if its real but he is one hell of a guitarist

  • bros! the moment I saw this clip my life has change 4ever!!! I was 13 and Chris was my ultimate hero!! I'm 31 now and still look at it as the most memorable rock confession in history!! Here's to you Chris - cheerz mate!!!

  • W.A.S.P. is my favorite band. Its too bad Blackie is such an arrogant a-hole and ruined what they had going. Chris Holmes kicks ASS! Ive also heard that the bottle he poured on himself was water, but either way yes you can pour vodka on your face, as long as you close your eyes. I know this from personal experience (someone else poured it on me). A while ago there was talk that Chris would be in Animal, but it looks like it fell through :(

  • he is a drunk bottom line

  • I love Chris Holmes and WASP and this is not fake. If you were a big fan of WASP you'd know Chris was a heavy drinker, even after WASP popularity was gone, like on the KFD tour he was still drinking non stop. There are tons of loaded Holmes videos out there. And check out his last band Randy Piper's Animal. And to Chris Holmes stay strong brother, metal 4 life!

  • Getting real vodka in your eyes without a blink?

    I don't think so...

  • oh it can and has been done.the hard core drinkers know whats uo

  • W.A.S.P. and Chris were fucking great. R.I.P. Chris.

  • Chris holmes aint dead you fool!

  • haha! Taget från Ettan ser jag:)

  • ...falling off the seat is the coolest part :)

  • I love WASP so much.  this is so sad!

  • Best Rythm guitarist with own individual sound. Wasp is no good without Chris.

    I like to drink much too but I have no talent to be good player never mind...

    My wet dream is that Chris join to Wasp again.

  • That's water.

  • chris holmes kicks ass . alcoholism is cool as shit . im gonna drink till i die . and i aint fuckin around

  • Comment removed

  • I drink too, and when I die, the world will be a better place. We can't have ugly freaks like me ruining this "BEAUTIFUL" world, that's soooooo "PEACEFUL".

  • Amen.

  • Wow - what a way to live -- good luck with that.

  • Hey Wrath relax . Lighten up pal .

  • I am glad your not serious lol

  • who said im not serious

  • This movie is fuckin horrible. It has great stars: Alice Cooper, Dave Mustaine,Ozzy, Lemmy, ect., but it's badly made, to the point that you're expecting every scene to suck.

  • If you look closely you can see his future washing off into that pool.

  • Comment removed

  • to be fair chis was drunk he had emptyed the vodka bottles he is drinking from in this video

  • Why would he fake something like this? Make no sense

  • when she asks, why do u get loaded a lot, a drunk person never says because, so its obvious its fake

  • This isnt fake I know chirs personally and I asked him about it. =)

  • I watched this scene and I thought to myself "how the hell is this guy is still living to this day". I don't want him dead or anything like that. I'm just amazed that he is still living after he drank like that in front of his mother.

    Of course, I just found out that this is fake and that "vodka" is actually water.

  • Others probably won't believe me, but oh well...had the honor of meeting Chris in '97, and we discussed this scene, wasn't staged all real, came from his mouth. He was amazing to hang with, Sat with us for 3 hours or so in a bowling alley next to the Palladium in Michigan. So if you don't believe it's real, your opinion, but all I know is, Chris told us many fuckin cool stories about this and many others things...He is the real deal and the Mean Motherfuckin Man.

  • Chris Holmes is no fake, that guy was a fuckin maniac.

  • I don't buy this shit...never did. Those bottles are full of water. "Look at me, I am a tortured artist and a full blown alcoholic" Fake ass. Try pouring vodka in your eyes and see how it feels....I saw this 20 years ago and said the same thing. Fake ass.

  • oh my god i totally disagree, this ir real, look at his face...

  • yea. i agree the only cool part is from :32 to :35

  • this is sad to watch.

  • So he wanted to have some vodka hell I have some whiskey everyday.

  • This was the best rockumentary ever made and its still not out on dvd. WTF???

  • Aweee! Poor Chris :(

  • fuck u bitch

  • It HAS to be water, a real alcoholic wouldn't waste it.

  • a millionare alcoholic would

  • @MetalMusicProvider NO Way in the world he or anybody in wasp is a millionaire...Blackie maybe, but that's it.

  • he doesn't care. He's drunk and rich!

  • fuckin maniac. i remember watchin this yrs ago and thinkin it was funny, but it seems a little sad now, he does seem like he hiding pain

  • What pain? Metal in the 80's was about excess! Drugs, booze, women, destruction! They just partied too hard and when the party ends they keep going!

  • Err alcoholics drink to escape the pain of reality. You cant drink and take drugs all your life without the bottom falling out , unless your a rare exception. I done both excessivly, and i wasn't a happy boy. and Blackie lawless is a very troubled man, look what excess done to him. You just have to listen to the Crimson Idol

  • It was all water. He and another bandmate filled like 4 empty vodka bottles with water for this scene. He was still pretty intoxicated but just wasnt dumping vodka down his throat at this point, it was water. They admitted it in 04.

  • man, this has to be one of the saddest faces of metal i have ever seen.

    i remember the first time i saw it. i thought "fuck, i'm just like that guy, but i'm not rich, i deserve to die"

  • Shut the fuck up!

    Chris Holmes is a fucking legend...

  • fucking asshole, are you even listening to him? or you just watching him drink like a motherfucker?

    that guy is fucking sad, you bitch, that guy is avoiding everything that hurts him. he will die doing that you fucking moron. thats one of the saddest things ever.

    you "no-problems-rich-wanna-be-met­al-head."

  • been there, done that.Now my liver is fucked.Heavy Metal Rulz

  • Totally! \m/

  • do you think this is for real,think not this is made for the t v.

  • It takes a real rockstar to get drunk like that in front of mom! Chris Holmes fucken rocks! He's not my idol, but he still fucken rocks!

  • dude this is so sad!!!!!!!!!! chris holmes was a severe alcoholic!!!!! wasp rules!!! but damn dont think hes a role model dude!!!!!

  • hahahahhahaha

    U know wanna know why i like glam metal, im 24 stole all my uncles glam metal cds, and was playin them getting drunk and high partying with bitches

    And my Uncle, 45, asked me why i was listening to it, and i how i should be more responsble

    An i told him cause im 24, and i can smoke drink and fuck bitches younger then that all that

    hahaha, this video is hilarous

    im tellin u man, when u get older, u cant appreciate glam metal no more, cause this partying fuk up ur health

  • Amen bro! Appreciate Glam Metal while you're young enough to party!

  • this is just sad. esp. with his mother sitting right there.

  • the mom knew it was fake. She saw them fill the bottles with water.

  • my FAVORITE clip of Holmes! EVER! i got the full thing on DVD!

    \m/

  • does anyone know were he lives know?

  • I can say Chis Holmes was and ego driven drunk asshole. I was in a London club in 1989 and he came over to my table and started swearing his head off and picking a fight for no reason other than he wanted the table. Glad to report a girl on my table gave him a mouth full and security gave him a kick in the ass.

  • Chris has so much talent!

    He is a awsome guitarist!

  • Man if you think like that, you dont know what means drinking vodka

  • hey davemustainee, i don't know if you notice but he looks pretty smashed to me, and if you start to stutter your words when speaking, your way over your limit...looks like somebody's a rookie when it comes to drinking

  • Comment removed

  • We all have something we do to add to our realities. This makes me feel odd... what is truth/ enlightenment?

  • :DD hes mom's there too

  • chuggin a bottle of vodka! LOL

    Chris is fucking awesome man!

    WASP kicks ass!

  • Yeah thats real cool !

  • fuckin right!! rockin roll!

  • Yes WASP does indeed kick ass but alcoholism is a very serious destructive disease! Ask Chris Holmes how cool being an alcoholic is!

  • thats the life of any real rock star such as motley crue,wasp,ratt,ozzy,etc,etc.

    you dont like the lifestyle.. than be a lawyer! or some pussy ass pop band.

  • fuckin amen

  • Why didn't he just fill the pool up with vodka and swim in it,hopefully Chris checked himself into rehab since this was made.

  • Chris is an awesome guitar player and if you don't like him why watch this video.. one fan put it up so more fans would see it.

    hes trying to put together a new band right now so I can't wait for that.. hopefully its another headless children or something like randy pipers animal (not with the new singer)

  • Real men listen to Metal

    Gay Metrosexual posers listen to Indie crap!

  • people like you give metalheads bad names.

  • ALL MEN PLAY ON 10 TOO!

  • HELL YEAH! MANOWAR!!!

  • I dont know were you got manowar from this video. but fuck yea MANOWAR KICKS ASS.

  • hahaha fuck yea, metal is the greatest genre and the gay grundge indie shit in non talented, bullshit

  • @mickmos you're entirely missing the point of this video

  • no man chris holmes is the man and so is wasp there an 80s metal band which is is all about drugs girls and alchoholism

  • its fake it's all water in those bottles

  • no it's not dumbass. that's called vodka

  • i agree. wen i was a teen i thought it was real, but not now...Craig

  • first of all i was probably 4 when that was recorded(it being released in 1988 and me being born in 83)...so what was i doing in the 80's...watching the ghostbusters and having fun....and whats so funny? chris holmes dumping vodka on his face...then being ask if he's depressed lmao.....then his mom at the interview watching her son's major problem....funny if you ask me....so there are both of your answers. face! \m/

  • so sad, but funny

  • what is so funny jethro?  what the hell where you doing back in the 80's?
