Guitar Meets Science has shared a new mini-documentary about very longtime HardRadio friends W.A.S.P. "In this video, we dive headfirst into the raw, chaotic, and ultimately tragic story of CHRIS HOLMES the wildman guitarist who injected pure attitude and danger into W.A.S.P.'s early sound. From the debauchery-soaked glory days of the '80s metal scene to his eventual downfall and exile from the band he helped define, Holmes' journey is as heartbreaking as it is explosive. We'll unpack the truth behind his iconic stage presence, and the silent war that erupted between him and frontman Blackie Lawless. Who really built W.A.S.P. and who buried it? We explore how creative control, addiction, and ego clashed in a firestorm that left one man erased from history, even as the fans never forgot him." Check it out below:
