Exodus’ Gary Holt recalls how European metal tour 'quickly snowballed into a disaster' amid the coronavirus outbreak
Gary Holt knows what it's like to be the last band out the door. His metal group, Exodus, was on the epic European tour The Bay Strikes Back 2020 with Testament and Death Angel in March when everything had changed almost overnight.
People describe it as everything from no symptoms to a cold, to a bad flu, to the worst flu you've ever had. What was it like for you?] But I was really sick. I was one of the lucky ones, because my version of really sick was like really sick with the flu. I had a fever and night sweats and a cough. The most different thing some people experience is loss of a sense of smell, but my sense of smell became bunk -- everything smelled really pungent, like a strong smell of garlic powder.
I had to really push to get a test. It was 10 long days for my results and it was like the end of the 10th day that I got a call. My wife got tested and she was negative, but who knows if she already had it and was no longer symptomatic? Nobody knows anything.Just waking up in the middle of the night soaked, that always sucks. I would get a towel and sleep on top of it because of how drenched the sheets and pillow cases were. And not being able to visit my mother.
It's not affecting our bottom line that much because there [weren't many shows booked]. We have some stuff booked for later in the year, but we have no idea whether that stuff will happen, but at least it's there. We're also supposed to go into the recording studio, but it will be a while for that too anyway.By the time it's feasible for us to record, I'm sure the stay-at-home order will be lifted enough where I can sit in the studio with my bandmates.
