Gary Holt has always been a maestro on the guitar. I have been listening to his shredding riffs for as long as I can remember. I was so excited when I was approved for this, and it did not disappoint. Being able to follow Gary every step of his career and learn so much about everything he went through and what it took to achieve his goals, and his determination to reach the pinnacle just adds another layer of respect for a man that already has so much of it from me
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for granting me access.

The book is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, unfiltered honesty, and a genuine passion for the music that defined a genre. Fans of thrash metal, band memoirs, and rock ‘n’ roll war stories will devour this one. Holt’s voice is as fierce on the page as it is on stage, making this an essential read for metalheads and music lovers alike.
