Tim's a great guy Brave Words people are amazing You'll have a phenomenal Q&A and interview there. All right All right, you know, I want to ask you this You know, there was always this rumor about your your parents or your mom, you know And I think you brought it up on the last interview, but I didn't really ask you about it. I mean The whole your mom and this held the angels thing and you told me no Jimmy. She's never been I mean Well, how did that even start that that rumor he used it? He used it on for press Moms are hells-angles. Well, first of all the women aren't health angels. Okay, they don't give the ocean one of the health angels jack Yeah It's kind of low like your mom did they kind of my stepdad? He wrote with the angels and you know, you know, you had a Harley and all that stuff Okay, growing up He wrote with them and then my mom would be on the back was biking and go out whatever that's that's where it comes But he got it my mom with your mom's I've never heard of a woman that's a hells-angles. That's how stupid Okay, all right, all right because I know you mentioned it last time we spoke It's just and on the interview that we did and I just didn't really want to just sort of clarify that Right make sure all right if anybody out there has something no one asked Chris Sebastian saying hey Chris can't wait to meet you on Friday. So that's in Montreal Jim Harrison great to see you Chris back out there Thanks Marianne saying rest in peace Steve Grimmett Cindy saying hey Chris so glad you're better Bobby saying I love you I love your first three albums. I Guess he's referring to the Wasp ones right where they're great out. It could be my soul and your soul ones Steve Steph saying the real wasp spirit right here the wasp spirit, which is Chris Holmes What are your views says John on iron maiden? That's a pretty general question What are my views? Somebody asked me if somebody's asking who's a favorite band you ever toured with Iron Maiden who is the best band you ever toured with iron Maiden who was the nicest band? They were the coolest guys I've ever been around in the rock business I Traveled on their bus because of the same management Small as yet. I want to know I want to Steve Harrison's bus with Bruce and David Nadrian had a bus themselves Bruce flew a lot of times that I always was on their bus and of course They had they loved me because I'm from more Hollywood, California and and and every time Everybody and Iron Maiden when they'd say something they'd enter and the question with dude for some reason just said because you're from California Wouldn't that be mate like like you think they'd use mate because that's a good equivalent mate in my nickname with all the maiden guys Chewie because one time we're I think we're at the cat and fiddle in Los Angeles and somebody says about Star Wars and I went And it's just it's just stuck. You know, so it's alright. That's my next name Chewie Here I made it was just some of the greatest guys, you know In this business. Yeah coolest guys Ron who actually I went to school with Ron looking well Chris wish you good health And he's probably he's seeing you back in the day like back when you first, you know Start coming to Montreal and Canada back in the you know the first album and we guys are playing, you know The larger theaters Joe saying Chris we are so glad you're feeling better. We can't wait to meet you in Cornwall So there you go Cornwall Cornwallians. I don't know if that's the correct term Cornwallian, but sounds right Cornwall, that's alright. That's just a joke or my sense of humor Chris is saying that's awesome. So any any questions Joe was saying the guitar sound you have is like no other What's the magic behind your guitar tone? I grew up with Eddie Van Halen for a young age learned how I don't I know I don't play like him but I learned from I used to help roadie for him a lot and Learned a lot of tricks have how to set up your amp blah blah play and then I'd ask There's a few times he played we play just him and I and he'd show me some tricks Whatever, but a lot of it was was with amplifiers tone with the Marshall sound how you hooked it up and back then He was one of first guys that ever figured out to use a volt the variac with an amp because they didn't have master volume Mm-hmm. He had those amps back then didn't have so the best way to The only way to make them sound good so it's what distortion is you have to crank it up loud But he's he figured out you take a variac and it's the tubes turns down like a light bulb Yeah, yeah, the tubes would do that and I've learned that from you know Being a how he treated other people is the main thing, you know A lot of people don't know that you grew up in Pasadena Where were Eddie grew up in Pasadena? Well, you were hanging out in his basement together like you you right and growing up with Eddie Van Halen No, I knew him before Van Halen Unbelievable before they named the van van, but that helped me with my sound another another thing about my sound my sound is When a guitar has distortion in it distortion And if you if you play guitar, you'll understand there's the root note the fifth was it's in between and Then the third which makes the chord major or minor When you hit the third note You usually the root and fifth is what makes the chord the note E a yeah, whatever But when you hit the third which makes a major minor it creates harmonic distortion of a higher register up around 5k to 10k That do not mix it makes uneven harmonics, and it goes I can't do that It makes really really bad distortion that your ears pick up, and I never liked that Okay, most of chords that I would hit with distortion or two notes But all six strings. Okay, very important sabbath mostly hits two notes AC DC a lot of it's only two notes, but but Yeah, if you're gonna hit a major or minor chord usually you want to turn down a lot of the distortion It won't do that But when it's distorted it her it's called harmonic distortion It makes white or pink noise, but you don't like to hear and I never liked that so most of the chords that hit or to no chords You know cool, and the pro it didn't how you process the guitars how you dial in you lose the effects and stuff like that All right, Tom saying some refer to Chris as two tall homes Yeah, because there was a word going around Chris didn't like like that too much I could care less They used to call me two tall homes and lost because when we played blind in Texas Yeah, I had a Dallas Cowboys Texas Dallas Cowboys Jersey and there used to be a guy and in it back in the 70s. He wore 72 NFL he was a he was a linebacker called two tall Jones So my nicknames when I put they said on my jersey two tall homes All right, and it's just you know black you would wear the cowboy hat or whatever, you know Sometimes I said when I didn't have the jersey I'd put my pants up because I had teni llamas So you can see the tenant that wanted to look like cowboy boots and I would wear a bandana You know cowboy hat, but I like to put on it. I mean that was one of the reasons. I mean you're tall, right? Yeah Or I'm short Well I was in high school I was six six, you know, yeah, yeah, you're tall guy and black you was tall and the rest of the battle It's tall is right. You think about six One, I mean this is like a friggin tall band then you put the heels on right back in the platforms Well flies were flat Flat healed in the flat in the front bit five inch heels in the back. Yeah, like like dad, but yeah, yeah Look tall. Yeah, you know you're on stage and Joe Rockstar, of course you want to look good You know, but I mean it was also detrimental to you to find a band afterwards, right? That sort of my height was a little more on the average, right then too tall, right? My height is crippled me playing with people because nobody wants to stand next to somebody over towers. I'm on stage, you know The way it is yeah But you're okay. Yeah, it still doesn't bother me. I put it this way I wouldn't want to stand on stage next to Andre the giant and play guitar It's like if you and me weren't a band. Yeah, it'd be weird I'd be the short guy. You'd be the tall guy It's just depends on how good you play and how you do your thing coming off the stage But some people don't like standing next to somebody taller than I'm on stage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I mean, I wouldn't like to play next to Hulk Hogan. I feel like a shrimp You know, I'm not what do you know what? Let me let me rephrase that question. It wouldn't bother me I don't care if he'd be nine feet. I'd still do what I do. Yes, some people It bothers, you know, yeah All right, we'll get back to it now. Here we go September 23rd Cornwall at the Port Theatre doors open at seven and The show is at eight. There'll be a documentary There'll be a Q&A and they'll be that mini show. So all these dates and all of these things I'm I still sign stuff too. And you sign so yeah So Friday and and the next week and a half you're gonna be doing signings There's gonna be documentary showings. All right. This is not this is not just a performance. This is like an event, right? This is like sort of like right. It's got everything. We brought some records over in case people can't find Other than downloading it if they can't find some So you got merch. That's what you're saying and this is one of the things here right here the shirts right here Let's choose a music. Yeah, right and again. I don't know what the back says. It says kick me on the back I know it says mean man. Oh, that's why you kicked me before I always when somebody had years ago somebody had me were signed their shirt in the back I'd say kick me as hard as you can It's got so mean James McLean. Good to see you here been looking forward for to this for a long time How long long cheese? When's the last time you've been in Canada? Last time was lost, you know, we're talking No, no, I didn't I came over in 95 to do promo from the kill kill kill fuck die show I don't we didn't play it's just a promo and then before that was had those children We played once or once in Toronto, I think yeah, yeah, and then before that was a Sabbath Look at this Joe is saying a bunch of fans are heading to Cornwall from upstate, New York Look at that. They're crossing the border for you. You can cross the border now I thought they wouldn't let people cross the border. They let people cross the border legally Legally you can cross border legal when we flew and they sent us through the customs and then we were waiting to get There's a big glass room about four or five times because about a hundred people and they're all sitting in the chairs I go Man, I hope they're not gonna say sit over there wait for your number and for some reason We got up and right and I was like we're gonna have to sit over there wait And then you know, you steal a luggage that people don't get at the airport Hmm, I blew me away There's so this most I've ever seen in my life at the airport that Sheriff said a few things and boom. We were on our way. I couldn't believe it. I don't have we don't have to sit here with all these people You know and she's got a different passport than I do Because she's a Canadian too, right? Yeah, mine's American and it's sometimes a custom to look at weird All right, here we go parents weighing in here my buddy saying Munchel July 1989 was the last time you're here with Wasp And it was a headless children tour With Benelli with Frankie. Yeah. Yeah with Frankie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? What a killer drummer to put a killer drummer Brandon saying good to see you're getting back in action excited to get many more years from your iconic guitar playing You know your guitar playing is iconic. It's I mean without that guitar playing those wasp albums would have never been What they are today. I did all I did all the rhythms. I know that and what Randy played his leads And he ran he did a good job at what he did. I can't say that, you know, and at whatever mine were, you know, yeah That's an iconic.

When as cap or whatever what all I honestly I would just like to get paid for what I created. That's it I don't want any more. I don't want to take any more, but I created what I created, you know That's yeah, and that's nothing wrong with that. I don't want any more But I did I'm not out to steal stuff I just like what I what came out of my heart which would on records what I created There was some a lot of more stuff than that is for me. That's the way it is You know, I wouldn't change it. Yeah, I would change a few things growing up That you can't can't change the past. You only change the future Most underrated wasp album The headless children would be yeah in your opinion. Yeah, to me. Yeah The most overrated wasp album that you're on that will say I I I personally personally to me I During mix is the first album. I was screaming about the guitars are way in the background And you know the my one of my favorite albums that just came out a year before that's called born again With Ian Gillan and black Sabbath, and then you know, they mixed the guitars up That's what I wanted to do like in the headless children. They wouldn't it's just it's all it's mostly a vocal album The guitars are way in the background and it's it's not to me To me, it's not a heavy metal album Because the drum beats are or a shuffle I just it's not like You know our love machine was double bass, you know, it's all written between Tony and I It's just you know, everybody's got their own opinions about whatever, you know, yeah All right, may I may I say the second or third album to me? It's like, you know, look at the cover We went there. We already talked about that in so many interviews. Yeah me me me me me me me Martin saying looking great Chris gave it saying of all wasp bandmates. Who did you enjoy working with the most? That's a really good question. I don't want to burn all the questions in the band either Like I want to save some questions for the show in the band at first The first album stuff I didn't do it blacking. I had a good good Repertory between each other. It's fun to be around them, you know, but then when the narcissist come out come out But I will say Johnny Rod was One of the best Because I couldn't do no wrong Johnny was always in trouble and way more trouble and I could possibly be in I couldn't even get in trouble man. He was always causing so much This is the way he is. He's always in trouble and I was like that was like the flying nun You know, I couldn't get in trouble, you know, and a Johnny was great Randy and I got along great because we play guitar, you know, we don't step and step on people's faces Benelli and I got into a few You know not actually hitting each other in the face But it came really close a few times because I've known Frankie since I was 16 Way before he's in quiet riot He was in Bankel scarab at one time and scarabs guitar player was the guy that gave me sister's number Oh, okay. Yeah He's passed away now, but that's how I know Frankie This is a long time ago and Rudy Czarzo played in a band scarab. Yeah, this has to be 76 or 77 Here's a cool question mark says what do you think of no, sorry Bobby says was black has black you reached out to you since you've been sick, but I know the answer to this He didn't make a post wishing you well, right? So there was I didn't I think you could help pay for some of my treatment, but With your royalties that you didn't get Nikki six that Nikki six did oh he did Wow, he gave me a lot of money for he's a first one forked over 500 bucks and I love the guy for it Thank You Nikki so great great stuff Nikki six. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, I love them for that Anybody mentions that you'd like to mention that really like wow, I can't believe this guy, you know did this for me I had I got a it was a pretty touching You know the thing about the first month. I was sick you see as you see this guy go like this You see really close and it backs up And he goes Chris. This is your metal god Rob Halford and it's kind of cold Rob talked a little bit on there and then the guitar player that took Tipton's gig because Glenn's sick. He's got Parkinson's disease is sad. That's really sad Yes, but thank God I could still play after my sick Kills me. Yeah, you can't do that do what he wants to do the guitar player he thanked me a bunch of tons of people did Nobody from lost it. It's kind of weird No step. No, no, no, no didn't didn't send me a message at all I thought he would but didn't just like you did that's okay. That's okay. I didn't expect it Glenn Hughes did wow, that's nice. I'm going to make one on the Sabbath tour And I was sad because I haven't been able to talk to him since he was fired. We were great We were good drinking buddies, you know It was great Glenn was one he's he's got a heart of gold, but I never really got after he was fired I never got to really talk to him. You know, I think when people go through some personal tragedies themselves They can connect with other people I went to the whiskey when he played as a solo project and a big huge bouncer wouldn't let me back stage I was like but but he goes move and I was like this. I don't want to fight this guy So I just left you know, I don't need to find out the past whatever and then I went to see the dead daisies in London Last year I even got the shirt I went to see the dead and I was on them talk and I saw Doug Aldridge get off the bus dog and he came out and I go Hey, I want to talk to Glenn. He goes man, but the COVID and stuff is somebody sick. They got to cancel the tour Yes, so I go this is cool. I understand that you know, so that's that I want to talk to Glenn Crack some jokes about whatever, you know Because I was on the tour when they when they fired him and got got Ray Gillam. Yes. Yes. Yes And actually, I think it was a near Montreal that that happened when when when the whole yeah shit went down. Yeah. Yeah, yeah I remember Vember Ray He had never played in an arena yet and It was after soundcheck and he was just he wasn't I'm just Nervous, but it was funny talking to him. He goes it's Christmas. I've only been clubs Dude, you'll be fine. You get up on the stage just for yourself. That's all you need to do Don't be anything worse Yeah, and then you feel it was weird after he died as Ray, you know, he was he's he had a heart of gold. I was somewhere in New York walking around and boom I just know his girlfriend had red long hair and I saw that Well, you raise it Wow sad Anyways, he died. It's very sad a talent was wasted and you know what on that note Yeah, there's a wonderful great cool information everybody It's he's here. Chris Holmes is here in Canada. He made it.
