Slayer and Exodus axeman Gary Holt was interviewed by Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF 101.1 FM radio station. When asked about the current stage production of SLAYER final tour, he said (via Blabbermouth):

Gary: “It’s like a fucking nuclear war. Certainly a large… a lot of cannon fire, if not atomic bombs. Some howitzers, for sure… It’s fucking hot up there. There’s a lot of fire going on, and I like it. As a kid, when you’re first playing guitar and first writing a song, every song had pyro in your head. You envision stuff blowing up and fire and flash pots and all that stuff. As a grown man, I’m almost in my mid-’50s, I still feel like a kid when the fire goes off.”
Gary also talks about what he learnt from Slayer:
Gary: “I wouldn’t say I’ve learned anything I didn’t already know. We’ve been friends since we were kids. I’ve been in this business so long — there’s not much I didn’t already know. I could definitely fill many pages of books with the stuff that I’ve see and learned over the years, entire chapters on what not to do. It’s been fun. We’re just riding it until the final end date. It’s been a blast. The show is going to be sick. People are going to be blown away.”

On his favorite SLAYER song to play live:
Gary: “It varies. Most people would automatically think ‘Angel Of Death’ or something like that, but I don’t know. I like some of the first album [‘Show No Mercy’] stuff: ‘Black Magic’, ‘Die By The Sword’, ‘Antichrist’.”
