 beaucoup beaucoup de difficultés à ce genre d'ici aujourd'hui. C'est vraiment content de voir la réception que vous me donner à dire. Là je vais remercier, et je vais vous présenter un ami de nous, Jimmy Kaye, de The Metal Boys. Si vous n'avez pas signé pour l'échec, vous avez mis en place un grand grand truc. Parce que tout le monde le connaît. Tout le grand star, comme Chris, le connaît. Et j'ai aimé vous donner un grand welcome maintenant. Vous avez des questions tantôt pour les questions pour Chris en français, je vais vous dire pour lui. Ici à l'heure que j'ai l'enjeu du foie dans les lèvres pour Jimmy. All right Jimmy? C'est vraiment important de parler en français aussi, hein. Oh! Je tiens ma job. Je vais mettre un accent, ok. J'aimerais remercier tout le monde pour venir ici. J'aimerais remercier Cathy pour mettre tout ça ensemble. Merci beaucoup pour toute votre aide. Je pense que c'est un plaisir de travailler avec vous. Et bien sûr, Chris, sans cette éventue, ce n'est pas possible. Je vais essayer. C'est trop dur. Si quelqu'un a des questions, nous serons plus heureux de vous demander à Chris. Chris, bien sûr, c'est toujours si candidant et maintenant il répond. Donc, s'il y a des questions, s'il y a des questions, on sait que l'un de vos idées est Tony Ionian. C'est toi? C'est toi? Tu sais, donnez un petit peu d'autres d'adaptés des guitaristes que tu étais influencé. Johnny Winner? C'est un candidat. Évidemment, c'est un candidat. Et toi? C'est ça. C'est ça, c'est ça. C'est pas mal, c'est pas mal. Est-ce que tu es un des grands? Il a un peu de plan et il n'a pas joué pour tout ça. Mais c'est un grand boulot. Il y a beaucoup de gens qui ne savent pas ce qu'il y a dans Pasadena. Vous avez vécu avec Eddie Van Halen. Vous avez vécu pour Eddie Van Halen. Je n'étais pas un gars qui a tué la guitare, qui a donné une guitare pour moi, mais j'ai vécu tout de suite, et j'ai regardé les soundtracks. En même temps, nous avons lu le Starwood, et il y a un flat tire. Je n'ai pas eu le tire à l'intérieur de cette fan. Il a eu un 4e bandeau, je ne sais pas, un V1. Je suis allé faire le jack-up en la rue, et le jack-up au car. Je suis allé faire le jack-up. Je suis allé faire le jack-up au car. Je suis allé faire le jack-up au car. Il a regardé le car, et il a regardé le car. Je me dis, le jack-up est dans la rue. Je suis allé faire le jack-up. C'est super. C'est un cool gars. Allons-y. C'est Mike. C'est Chris Holmes Jersey. C'est un gars de travail. Il est venu de ses amis. Il supporte. Si vous aimez Jersey, c'est une belle chapeau. Vous picked-up le recognized ? C'est un premier. C'est lui. Le nouveau est pour Canada. Que Dieu épreuує? Le laître s'éteint... Pensez à gl Wancaille. Il y a deux ans, il y a un temps de COVID et tout ça pour se faire. Et tous ces chans sont rétés à la réalité. Réalité, c'est quelque chose... Je l'aime. C'est juste raw, straight raw. Il n'y a pas de keyboards et tout ça. C'est juste straight raw, rock'n'roll, raw music. C'est une overproduced rap. J'ai hâte de ça. C'est juste pour moi, je singe tous les chans avec mon grand voix. Je n'ai pas de chanson. Je pense que j'ai hâte de le faire. Mais ça marche. J'ai hâte de me mettre en place un LSD. Et tout le monde veut que je sois un chanson. Si tu es un chanson, tu peux aller loin. Si quelqu'un parle sur Internet, si je vous additionne sur Youtube des commentaires, c'est chimique, chanson, règle, brûle, chanson, brûle. Putain, c'est ce que je veux. Si votre voix ressemble à un Choc Board, peut-être c'est ce que je veux. C'est algo de chans, je suis très fier de le statut de l'LSD. C'est la vraie chanson de la lutte. Je ne vais pas mettre une batterie sur la rôde, je ne vais pas jouer anymore, c'est pour ça que je singe, je singe pour la prochaine, si tu n'aimes pas ça, ne l'écoute pas. Ok, questions. Does anyone have a question for Chris? Is this your chance? Or do you think your cancer came from? Is it emotional? My cancer? Is your cancer emotional? Is your cancer emotional? Where's your... Is it an emotional cancer? I think it came from me smoking and drinking all my life. I think so, but I ask... That's different. That's different than emotional. That's different than emotional. She's a very complicated question. She wouldn't have been smoking and drinking all her life. Where did you think your cancer came from? I smoked and drank all my life. I feel like my body, I feel a cold, but there's no more. I feel like something. Any other questions? Yeah, hello. How's your relationship? Do you have any relationship with Penelope Spiris? No, no. She still owes me $300 for that partner movie. She promised to pay me $300. The thing is, like Odin, I know Randy, he got $2,500 because they play. She was only supposed to pay me $300. She sent a check to my manager. They got $300. She personally called me on the phone and talked to me if she could fucking personally pay me. So I looked at it. So that bitch still owes me $300. They asked me, somebody from her office had called up and asked me to do an interview for a boss that I guess had a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said hey, I'd be more than happy to. I'll think about it, but first of all, she's got a pay me my $300. And I said I told her I'd think about it. And if she's gonna pay me the $300, I'd say no. All right man, cheers to that fucking ass. Hey Chris, do you have any advice for a young alcoholic trying to stay sober? Also, when did you start drinking? When did I start? Probably about... My mom had vodka underneath the sink. And I could never steal on it when we were about 11. I started drinking heavy about 15 high schools. You know, it wasn't just beer, it was just beer. And if you do, honestly, if you want to quit, go to a place called the shit center. The work for me is a 10 day program, I've never drank since. I can be around people like America don't bother me. I got somebody... There's some people like me who just have one drink or two drinks and get up and I... I keep going. Yeah. If you have vodka and you want to quit, go to a place called the shit center. It's like, they use the same treatment as a normal alcoholic orange. It's just like that. It works for me. And I didn't really want to start drinking. I enjoyed... I enjoyed being drunk. It was great. I enjoyed kissing people. And being on the road and looking at a bottle of coffee, everybody stands with her shitty things. The shitty things I did last night or whatever. The bottle of vodka is a hot... Chris. Is there any other questions out there? Chris, I was just wondering which wasp song are you the most proud of that you created and that you might still like to perform today? First of all, there's a lot of stuff on the headless children and the daughter of the heritage. There's a few things that I wrote for somebody else at black and school and put in a song. At the time, I didn't understand how the total publishing went. I loved a song called Love Machine. Yeah. I rewrote that. Totally. If you go on the internet and you look up a pre-wasp, you'll see Randy Piper black and y'all was playing the song and then when it was brought in to rehearsal, black and y'all okay, I wanted to play the song and I listened to it. That sounds like shit. I'm not gonna play it like that. He's like, how would you do it? This is how I did it. I worked it out the time. I liked how we changed the song. I cannot stand I want to be somebody. I hate that song. I've never felt like that. Black is in your eyes. Black is in your eyes. The thing is, if you're not somebody, I would be somebody before playing music. I didn't want to be somebody. I am somebody. I'm mean. Well, if you're not, everybody's somebody. Isn't that song supposed to be ironic? It's what? It's supposed to be ironic, no? I find you all this thing in the past, right? Isn't it? I don't think it's supposed to be ironic. It's supposed to be I want to be somebody as in somebody famous. How he wrote the song is in the, there's a sitcom called Barney Miller in America, in Canada. One of the guys in the movie, they're not in the movie, but in the sitcom was writing a book, his name was Harris. And he had to go out on some kind of, Barney was gonna send him out on some thing that they do in the cops. He just looked in the camera and was, man, I just want to be somebody. Barney got the idea of the song. I wrote a song called Barney Miller. It was called Had Enough and it came from when Van Halen first wrote the song Panamon. When I first heard it, I thought they were singing Had Enough for the Panamon. I was like, well, thanks. So I wrote what I would find. I didn't steal it from them. That's the way songs are, you know, and your ideas and stuff like that. I mean, you knew Van Halen before David Lee Roth was in the band. And when you first met David Lee Roth, what did you think? He was a character, man. I didn't like the guy at first, you know, the way he is, but Dave's Dave, and he's a character, and if he didn't sing those songs and he and that band, he would be shit. They would have made it. He was well half of Nathan. I mean, Ed played, he was a flawless player. But what he does, he'll never be another one of him. I don't care how he's playing. He's good. If you've ever seen a guy who plays, he plays effortlessly. It's unbelievable how he plays. I feel that's our player. And Dave, Dave's just a character. He wants a school. Or like yourself. Pardon? Amazing. Dave's just Dave, he's a character. If everybody's a character, you know. Any other questions? Hey Chris, what's your best Lemmy story? Lemmy story. I've seen the pictures, I'm just very curious. We all love Lemmy, sure you do. It's a few. He gave me some chemicals about 87 months. 87 months, somewhere at a festival. Yes, I wanted to do a line. So he looked up the switch, clicked the shove in his bag. It was some physical games, nothing. I did a line. It's horrible, man. He's like, well, you don't want to get moved better? And I go, man, I live in Tanganga. It's in that capital of California at the time. Yeah. So when he got to LA, he was the first woman to cope the month. I didn't have a suspended license so I'd borrow my wife's jeep and drive down with the money and go to drugs. He was, he had an apartment where he rented a furniture. Man, you gotta get rid of this furniture. We'll just go find it on a yard sale and you can have it. You want to pay for it. So I was driving him in a jeep to a yard sale and they were having problems with warzels. And I go, hey, dude, throw a warzel out. Let me play an order. This isn't like 91. He looks over at me and I'm driving. He goes, are you serious, Chris? I wouldn't put up with your shit line. Yeah. I look over and I go, I go on the easy on the road. Chris, it's not what you'd be doing on the road. It's what you'd be doing on the stage. Like what? I got kind of mad. Like what? And he goes, well let's say I'd be in the middle of a verse. And he goes, well you would probably be standing right in front of me. And I thought about it and especially if he said not to me. I would. Even if I would be rockin' and overshadowin' what he does. I kind of understood that. You know, it was a cool guy. We had her up and down. Yeah, let me, it was great. Filthy was cool, Filthy on the Tailor. Yeah, he was, he was probably the number one coolest guy in the music business I've ever met, Filthy on the Tailor. It was a human being. Sadly he had a brain aneurysm. When I was working, we were doing an album together. He had a brain aneurysm and it was sad. He had to go back to England. PG was here in his apartment. The last song he recorded was going to be Forty Brain Aneurysm. I put the headphones on. He was still listening to it. You know? It was about a six minute song. And after the song he took off the phones and he goes, that was a good song. Do you remember playing it? Fill and look at it. No. So I just changed it. It's part of life. There's no good list. He's also auditioned for Randy Rhoads's Before Randy Rhoads was chosen as his guitarist right before. Right before they were looking for the guitarist. Dana Strung tells a different story. He said he took off the Ozzie to the studio and Randy played the energy show. I remember it. I was up in Moral Canyon and Dana Strung brought Ozzie up there. I just moved along my guitar and Ozzie walked in and said, whoa, this guy's a big one. As I said, many being a young kid he's going to take me how stupid was I. There's no way. You guys kind of look similar. I put my makeup on. I have, I personally, the reason why I put my makeup on my dad's, the guy's girl for me. I'm a kiss girl. So you know, I always make me, I didn't like to wear a makeup on stage. So I was like, I put it on so bad. And I just I put on so much black and white. But this stuff it's the way it went. And that pool scene, I mean, it's haunted you your whole life. I mean, how do you feel about it? You're watching it on the screen in the movie, right? You're watching the pool scene. How do you feel like everybody keeps asking about it over and over again? What, the decline movie? You can have your decline movie, the pool scene. I mean, it's famous. Well, the infamacy. Yeah, that's just the way I was back then. I just think it's stupid. Now that I go drink, you know, I mean, you know, that's just how I drunk. You know, all my friends drank, and we got drunk, that's just stupid things. And that was stupid, doing that later. Disappointed. I mean, you're 200 bucks, you know? I mean, 300. This is part of what, you know, I was hammered that day, and my mom wasn't even supposed to be in it. She just came by my house, and I go, mom, what are you doing? I gotta do an interview. You wanna come with us? She came along, so she just came by, and the boys didn't even plan it. And for everybody out there, that wasn't my pool. It looks like it was mine, but that wasn't. It was at Miles Copeland's house, Stuart Copeland's drummer for the police, Miles Copeland's brother, he's the manager of the police. He's the one who put up the money to do the movie. So, beautiful, right? Funny story. I go down there, blah, blah, and they got the camera crew, and I'm already hammered, so I'm still kind of dealing with the movie. But I plan on having bottles of vodka. Cool. And I'm sitting in a chair, you know, a movie chair, it's hot air, like this, and they didn't have my name on the bathroom. This one doesn't, and the lady's doing my hair, and she's like racking it up. I'm looking at her, and I'm gonna get in a pool. I couldn't fucking understand it. I was just going, she probably got a picture, this is what he's supposed to look like, and I put it on my face, and I'm like, I'm gonna get in a pool. I couldn't understand it. So they go, Chris, you gotta check the lights out. I go over and I jump up, and I pull all the way under, I come up to the top, and I look over to the make-up lady, and she's gone. It was stupid, you know. I was just gonna, I should have asked her why she was going. Was Penelope sort of pushing you to sort of get that, capture that sort of image of you? To sort of play into it? Hey, here's another bottle. Here's one of my bottles. Here you go. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's finished. It's the way they ended it. And then she brought it up to the house before the movie, and then Blackie Rod's, the manager saw it, and Rod called me, screaming that I did it. I was supposed to be owned by St. Clair, because where I'm off the road, I ain't playing. I'm gonna do the fuck I want, whether you like it or not. I don't give a shit fuck you anymore. I don't care. I got my life to live, and if I want to do that, I'm gonna do that. It's too bad. I don't like it. And then Blackie flipped out because of course, she called me when she called me a few weeks before earlier, to do the part in the movie, I was in London, and she called me, she goes, Chris, can you do a disability? I was like, whoa, are you in London? No, I'm in California. I'm gonna do a decline 2. And I go, man, I hope it's not as bad as a decline 1. That sucks. Well, I want to see if you can do a part in an interview in a new one, decline 2. And I go, well, why don't you talk to Blackie? She goes, I just got off the phone with him. He wants to do this, and that, and that, and there's a big production. She goes, I don't have the money to do that, but we just do an interview. I don't know. That's just how it happened. So, some kids, people think it's great, but the guy in the news, the guy on channel 7 News in LA, they play a part of it, he goes, that's a rock, it all goes to you. Man, well, I'm not a rocker. What did you think of the film overall? I thought it was horrible. I thought it was horrible. I talked to a few people. It's horrible, man. Somebody could have filmed that so outrageous, if they didn't know how to get in the underground as a whole LAC, but she didn't. The Hollywood, to make it, has big dreams. If you don't watch your keys and cues, you end up doing drugs and going right on the tubes. I'm from a long, born and raised in Pasadena, California, right by Hollywood. So I was, it was cool. I hate to say this, I had the best up for me out of anybody I've ever met in my life, upbringing, being there, and I was blessed with being where I was brought up. I would want to be brought up in Hollywood. It's just being in Hollywood. In Hollywood. In my mom's side. Your sister was in the 42 thing. Yeah, my sister was in the 42. Are you close to her? I'm close to her, yeah. My sister's not as... She just has kids, and she's married. I always like to say why I don't have kids is because kids should not have kids. Kids should not have kids. I should have school. I cheated. I cheated really. I'm serious, I can't read. So they always had me hell of a back class and I always thought I was nobody's father. I was in classes, hell of a back classes with people that they remember who I was. And they called him an MR. He had Down syndrome. And he was one of the kids that I was in school with had Down syndrome. He had a beautiful heart. He was the coolest kid on the world. I don't even know why. I don't even know that. And then I found out I had dyslexia when I was 36. The doctor told me that I was... I didn't think you had an issue with reading, you're still the same, aren't you? Well, I'm going to get it a little bit better, right? I've never read that. Most of you won't probably believe this. I've never read a book in my life. At all. I read a book in battle. That's all right. Does anybody else have any questions out there? Yeah, yeah. I just want to ask you about that pool interview. Not there. I asked about the pool interview. The plurie. I know you've played this city a bunch of times in the early days and it's a shot in the dark playing in Montreal. Any f*****s or any cool sh** that happened here in the early days in this city when you guys played? I remember Chris. I remember what happened. When we were going on the road half the time I couldn't tell you if I was in New York or Tokyo. I mean, I'm not saying I'd be an asshole. I took the itinerary. I'd go over to the tour manager and he tells me to go. It's easier that way. I played here a bunch of a few times. I think I played with Black Sabbath. You played with Black Sabbath Yeah, I was here the night when Ray Gillett went on stage. Yeah, was he? I think that was when Len Hughes got off stage. Yeah, yeah. And I also think when you played Munch y'all again I don't remember correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think Black didn't go on stage when you played Munch y'all. Was there any member? He didn't show up, right? That's what happened. He didn't show up. Now it was Chris in the band. That's why. Spectrum. Spectrum. Well, now you're talking about 1984, right? 1985 is the spectrum. You remember the Munch y'all spectrum? Nah. I don't remember anything about my field. I remember being in camp. And I'm not very good at where the cities are. I'm on a tour, I'm on a tour. It's probably LA, LA, San Diego, San Francisco. I'm in camp in a solo. I'm lucky that his foot's run over a side car coming outside a rocket spot. I'm learning the process you do this. And that's a good excuse not to play, right? It's footman on the right. All right, one more question then we got to wrap it up. One more question. I was just wondering your second run with Loss. Your second run? Your second run with Loss. We came back with Loss. Were you expecting thank you? Thank you. Were you expecting thank you for an album? Do you regret it? I didn't know what you were saying. So your second time going back second time going back in the band. Did you expect a larger a better response? A better response? Going back in the band, don't expect a better response from back to back. I had this children after the last show I was gone. Fuck you. Fuck off man. Just do one thing. Just do one thing. But I started out playing music as it turned out to be horrendous. I got to the point living in LA where all of a sudden my sister lives in Cote d'Ivoire and I wanted to stay with her for a few weeks. I ended up staying on a ranch with my brother-in-law who's now here. We had 100 horses at the house at the time. The house lived in Wyoming and it was set up as you were alive. We got up at 6 in the morning and we walked. We went down the stairs and I just do what I still do. Yeah, I was at peace there and all of a sudden I get a call of black people. Chris, black people want to know if you want to play again. I said there was a fucking last thing on my mind. I had taken my guitars and took them to my brother's house underneath the house. Little wire mesh vignon and you broke that and shoved my guitars under his house and left him there. I didn't have a lot of other places to go to. I called black and he had black people to talk to. I wanted to ask, or 94. I wanted to be a tourer again. I wanted to be a tourer again. I said you have to be right now. He goes, well, can you give me an answer within two weeks or a week? I'd like to give you the answers next week. I did a lot of... When you say soul searching I don't know what I just thought about it. I was thinking I hadn't quit drinking yet but I thought if I don't tour again I'll never see the world. I love seeing other countries and meeting other people and seeing different environments and stuff. So it's like if I stay here I'll never travel. I'd be like my parents but I would never get on playing. So I made the decision to do it again and then I came back and he was like well I'll give you a thousand weeks which then 95. That's okay. That's pit of the money. That ain't shit. It's 52,000 a year. I had a bunch of ideas and I voted by an 8th digital rate trap. 8th channel. I started writing ideas and I wrote 3 ideas. 4 ideas. I made a hair scan on that. He goes down and this involves 4 of them and takes off the headphones and he's got something else. I was like what the fuck do you want? You know? And he's told me something and he told me and he made me not even give a fuck about what. Basically I got one song I have to write 100. And I was like fuck. I didn't really give a fuck but at that point I'm going to play it. I'm going to play it for me. I'm going to do what I do whatever. That's what he was doing. Yeah, I think that was a little controversial. Everybody, we are live here. Chris Holmes. Are we done yet? I don't regret it. I don't regret it. Hey! So, next show is in tomorrow in Quebec City, right? Oui, le main point will be the 14th of June. And then on the 21st we're going to get Toronto to Rock Pile. We're going to get Toronto to Rock Pile. On the 22nd will be Ottawa for a documentary signing plus a sign-in in the meeting room. We're finishing on the 23rd at the Port Theatre at Cornwall. We're going to sign-in. We'll be performing for people who are going to be there. Stay high today! That's it? The album on sale? Do you have the t-shirt on sale? I just bought it. Pick up some merch. Chris, you did a fabulous job making so much of your time. Thank you very much y'all.
