Gig Review: MEAN MAN CHRIS HOLMES at The Rigger, Newcastle-under-Lyme (UK) 24/06/2017

For those unacquainted with Chris Holmes, he was the original lead guitarist in W.A.S.P, and is responsible for some of the greatest Heavy Metal songs ever. He's parted ways with W.A.S.P on more than one occasion due to his well documented turbulent relationship with front-man Blackie Lawless.
