Saw him the last time he was here in Dublin - his guitarist does the wasp songs and you'd swear it was Blackie if you closed your eyes! Well worth a look!

Chris himself was very friendly as well before and after the gig, big difference between him and Blackie...dare  I say Chris is more WASP than WASP nowadays?

Ah yeah Chris Holmes. No thanks. This from 2014:

Yes, I know, but I don't like this [rap] music.

Yeah, it sucks! It's so called nigger music. I'll say that word, I don't care if niggers are in the room or not to get my opinion, that's the way it is. Rap is just starting to hit Europe, and it kind of makes me sick, because I don't like it when kids act like niggers. Is the word "nigger" bad to say here? When you say it in the States, everybody is pissed off.

Last time in Drogheda was really sad.

Great to hear Holmes got proper support from people in Ahoghill.  I presume his last gig in Drogheda was catastrophically attended because the town is a bloody kip  :)
