Gary Holt Performs His Favourite Black Sabbath Riffs

On this week’s episode of Gear Factor, Exodus and Slayer‘s Gary Holt performs his favourite Black Sabbath riffs.

Exodus have been on the street since early April, and Ohio’s Sonic Temple pageant was considered one of their many stops. Loudwire had the chance to talk with Holt the day of their present, and he took us by means of his favourite Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath riffs.

The rocker defined that because the youngest of six, he grew up listening to what his older siblings did. Thus, he was launched to Sabbath from a younger age, citing “Iron Man” as one of many first tracks he remembers listening to by them.

“That is like our heavy steel ‘Stairway to Heaven,'” Holt remarked.

He performed a little bit of “Iron Man,” “Paranoid” and the notorious Satan’s Interval tritone that Tony Iommi performed at first of the band’s self-titled observe.

“It gave delivery to all the pieces we do — all the pieces Exodus does, all the pieces Slayer [does], all the pieces Metallica… I feel we’d all be inherently completely different bands with out Black Sabbath,” Holt praised.

Exodus toured with Black Sabbath within the early ’90s when Ronnie James Dio was singing for the group for the second time, and Holt recalled the members of Sabbath being extremely good to him and his personal band.

“We would been doing it for a very long time at that time, however they nonetheless confirmed us the way it’s performed,” the guitarist added.
