Chris Holmes: "I don't know any other guitarist on this planet that plays the way I do"

Chris Holmes onstage

Notorious for a regrettable drunken soliloquy on an inflatable mattress in the film The Decline Of Western Civilization Part II, Chris Holmes was the lead guitarist in W.A.S.P. between 1984 to 1990 and again from 1995 to 2001. 

These days he fronts his own solo band, who visit the UK and Ireland this month. If you happen to bump into him, just don’t mention Blackie Lawless.
