As the guitarist and primary songwriter of Exodus, and as an originator of the subgenre and one of its fiercest proponents, Gary Holt watched as his peersMetallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthraxsoared to superstardom. As his fellow artists amassed millions of fans and record sales, Exodus albums received critical recognition and inspired generations of listeners but struggled to reach the same heights of success, as the band was plagued by years of bad management, bad luck, and bad decision-making.</p><p>In <em>A FABULOUS DISASTER,</em> Holt shares a deeply personal account of what it was like to "live fast, play fast, and crash hard" as thrash metal dominated the globe. Holts "destruction-laden farce" follows our narrator through the highest of highs and lowest of lows as he and his bandmates juggle major label contracts, MTV-sponsored tours and festivals, growing addictions to alcohol and meth, and the loss of key founding members. In the throes of addiction, Holts own fall from grace is swift; one year, hes playing on the MTV Headbangers Ball Tour with Anthrax and Helloween, and the next, hes struggling to find minimum wage jobs as he battles drugs, divorce, and the dissolution of his creative prospects. Ultimately, after the tragic death of one of his closest friends and former bandmatesHolt decides that enough is enough and realizes the only one who can save him is himself. Newly sober and determined to resurrect his career, he commits himself to Exodus, pushing the band to new heights. He then joins Slayer, one of metals biggest bands, and plays massive venues around the world, including Madison Square Garden. After Slayers unexpected retirement, Holt devotes his attention full-time to Exodus once again, recording and playing with more passion than ever before.</p><p>An "unadulterated odyssey through decades of insanity," punctuated by Holts unique insight and knack for storytelling, <em>A FABULOUS DISASTER</em> is a thrill ride from start to finish.
