But he jokes that he might owe guitar icon Schenker a share of the record's royalties. In the first of five planned 'making of' video clips, Holt says: "Recording Blood In Blood Out was easily one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had. I wrote most of the stuff but I gave a lot of the control away for the first time.

"I was able to concentrate on leads when it came down to that and I just played some of the best stuff I ever have. I'm just shredding, ripping off Michael Schenker left and right. I should probably be paying him money. I owe him some royalties or something."
