In a new interview with Anthony Bryant of The Hair Metal Guru, former W.A.S.P.

guitarist Chris Holmes shares his thoughts on American politics.

As transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Holmes reflects on the current state of affairs in the country, stating that many people trusted the wrong president and pointing to misperceptions between everyday citizens who support different parties.

He emphasizes that he is not taking sides but rather expressing a personal opinion as an American who didn't vote.

Holmes discusses his own experiences growing up with family members from different political backgrounds and how he feels strongly about the "us versus them" mentality in modern politics.

He shares a poignant anecdote about his family's discussions during election times, stressing that regardless of one's political affiliations, people must recognize their shared identity as Americans.

The interview touches on Holmes' past involvement with W.A.S.P., particularly when he praised Donald Trump at a concert in New York City.

However, Holmes does not revisit this topic extensively.

Notably, the conversation doesn't delve into his current projects or musical endeavors, instead focusing on his perspectives on politics and everyday life as an American citizen.

In the past, Holmes faced health challenges, including a diagnosis of throat and neck cancer in February 2022, which he successfully treated.

He also canceled a tour due to a minor medical issue.

Holmes' relationship with W.A.S.P.

has been significant over the years, with his return to the band in 1996 marking a notable period in their history.
