Key Information

Joe Holmes (born June 11, 1963) is an American heavy metal guitarist best known for his stint with Ozzy Osbourne between 1995 and 2001. He has also played with Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth and the L.A. band Lizzy Borden in addition to leading his own bands, Terriff, and currently, Farmikos.

Biography

[edit]

Born in New Jersey and raised in Los Angeles, Holmes took lessons from guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1979. Holmes formed Terriff in 1983 but left to join Lizzy Borden in 1987, appearing on the Visual Lies album. He left Lizzy Borden in 1988 and reformed Terriff, staying with the latter group until 1990.

David Lee Roth

[edit]

Holmes then joined David Lee Roth's band for a tour in 1991, replacing Jason Becker who was diagnosed with ALS while recording the album A Little Ain't Enough. Back in L.A., Holmes once again re-activated Terriff trying out and rehearsing with different singers, including former Badlands vocalist Ray Gillen. Eventually, the band recruited Jeff Biebuyck to be their new frontman and changed the name from Terriff to Dogma and, finally, Alien Ink recording an album's worth of material with producer Rich Mouser.

Ozzy Osbourne

[edit]

In 1995, after Ozzy Osbourne had finished recording the Ozzmosis album, a replacement for Zakk Wylde was needed for the tour.[1] While working on his own band, Joe got a call from Deen Castronovo (Ozzy's drummer) to let him know they were seeking a guitar player. Joe went down to Audible Studios in Los Angeles and played three Ozzy classics. Holmes did not mention that he had taken lessons from Randy Rhoads (former guitarist for Osbourne) as he thought it would hurt his chances at the job. He succeeded though and got the part.[2]

In Ozzy's book "Diary of a Madman: Ozzy Osbourne - The Stories Behind the Songs" it says "Always on the lookout for a bright, new talent, Ozzy spotted a guitarist who plays like a motherfucker" referring to Joe Holmes who had previously worked with David Lee Roth and was a pupil of Randy Rhoads. While on tour, Rhoads would himself take classical guitar tuition and arrange workshops in which he gave lessons to young players. "It's really spooky." said Ozzy, "because when Joe plays the Randy Rhoads stuff, he plays just like him - it's like I can see Randy's fingers."[3]

Holmes performed on the Ozzmosis tour with Osbourne.[4] He started the tour August 19, 1995, at the Austin Music Hall in Austin, Texas. He remained Ozzy's guitarist playing Ozzfest 96 through 2000 tours. Holmes left the band while recording and writing the Down to Earth album. While Holmes does not play on the album, the songs "Can You Hear Them?", "Junkie", and "That I Never Had", which were co-written by Holmes,[5] appear on the album. The only songs from his work with Ozzy that have been released is "Walk on Water", which first appeared on the Beavis and Butt-Head Do America soundtrack, before appearing on the bonus disc for Ozzy's 1997's compilation The Ozzman Cometh and "Perry Mason" live from the 1997 Ozzfest Live CD.

He also participated in the Perry Mason music video.

Farmikos

[edit]

In late December 2012, news broke of Holmes' new band Farmikos, featuring former Laidlaw vocalist Robert Locke.[6] The band's name has no particular meaning and was derived from their song "Scapegoat", which was originally titled "Pharmikos". "Pharmikos" was then changed to "Farmikos" for aesthetics. It became the band's name. In early January 2013, the band's website began to stream the song "Scapegoat", the first Farmikos song to surface, with guest contributions from Holmes' former Ozzy Osbourne bandmate, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, and Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman.[7] Another song, "The Sound Of My Gun", also featuring Trujillo and Wackerman, premiered in early March 2013.[8] Farmikos continues to record new music with longtime Holmes studio affiliate, engineer/producer Rich Mouser. In late July 2013 Farmikos released a video teaser for the song "Exit Stencils" on the official FARMIKOS YouTube channel. The Video features footage of Holmes recording solo tracks in the studio.[9] In December 2013 two more video teasers were released on the official FARMIKOS YouTube channel for the songs "Spoon and Sun" and "Scapegoat". An EP was announced for February 2014. Recorded at the Mouse House in Pasadena, California with engineer/mixer Rich Mouser (SPOCK'S BEARD, TRANSATLANTIC, VAST), the EP also features guest contributions from Holmes' former Ozzy Osbourne bandmate, bassist Robert Trujillo, and drummer Brooks Wackerman.[10] However, on March 18, 2014, instead of an EP, Farmikos released four digital singles: "Scapegoat", "Kings Of Dust", "Exit Stencils" and "The Sound Of My Gun". The band then continued to release new singles: "Spoon and Sun" was released in May and "Am I One" was released in July, [11] adding, "Fragile", "Ascension" and "I Was Them" as the year went on. In early January 2015, they released "Facing East", just before an album became available on January 15, 2015. This album compiles all the songs released as singles, to date.

On Eddie Trunk's radio show, January 12, 2015, Joe Holmes revealed his intentions to shoot a couple videos in February for the songs "Scapegoat" and "Am I One", as well as doing some live shows in 2015. He also mentioned that the band has six or seven songs almost finished, ready for a future release.

Early life

Upbringing

Joe Holmes was born on June 11, 1963, in , . He remained there until age four, when his family relocated to , . The family's early years were marked by instability due to frequent relocations, driven primarily by his father's desire to return to . Around ages 12 or 13, they moved back east for Holmes' junior high school years, only to return to when he was 15. These moves created a dynamic, if unsettled, environment that shaped his adaptable youth, with his supportive family—particularly his father, who built a dedicated music room and even sold his car to buy a PA system—providing encouragement amid the changes. In the vibrant of the 1970s, Holmes encountered the local music scene, which sparked his initial fascination with the guitar. At age nine, he received an as a Christmas gift and began taking folk lessons, drawing inspiration from groups like and the surrounding rock culture that permeated the area. He acquired his first at age 13, at which point he became more serious about pursuing music. This exposure laid the groundwork for his developing interest in music.

Musical training

Joe Holmes began his formal musical training in 1979 at the age of 16, when he started taking guitar lessons from at the Musonia School of Music in . The lessons were arranged through a mutual friend who was already studying with Rhoads, and Holmes described feeling initially intimidated by the renowned guitarist's skill. During these sessions, Rhoads emphasized foundational techniques such as , control, and the use of diminished scales, advising Holmes to "learn your diminished" to build a strong technical base. Personal anecdotes from the time highlight Rhoads' infectious passion for music, which Holmes credited with inspiring his own dedication, noting, "His love for music was so contagious that it really rubbed off on me." He last saw Rhoads in December 1981. Complementing his formal instruction, Holmes incorporated significant self-taught elements into his development, drawing heavily from rock and heavy metal influences prevalent in the Los Angeles scene during his teenage years. He independently transcribed and mastered the lead guitar parts of Michael Schenker's "Rock Bottom (Live)" from UFO's album Strangers in the Night, using it as a model for phrasing and speed. Exposure to the local heavy metal and hard rock environment was amplified by attending shows like Quiet Riot at The Starwood club, which fueled his immersion in the genre's raw energy and technical demands. His early practice routines were intensely focused; inspired by Rhoads, Holmes skipped school for 43 consecutive days to hone his skills and often locked himself in a dedicated garage music room for extended sessions, prioritizing endurance and precision over casual play. Before turning 20, Holmes applied his growing abilities through performances in local Los Angeles bands, including at parties and clubs, covering rock and metal standards to build stage presence. These early gigs served as crucial outlets for experimentation, allowing him to integrate Rhoads' teachings with self-taught flair in a low-stakes environment. Rhoads' influence extended into Holmes' later playing style, evident in his adoption of neoclassical elements and melodic phrasing.

Career

Early bands

Holmes formed the Los Angeles-based heavy metal band Terriff in 1983 at the age of 19 or 20, marking his first original project after years of playing in cover bands. The initial lineup included bassist Emil, drummer Tim Cosmo, and another guitarist, Michael Aaron, with Holmes handling lead guitar duties. The band quickly gained local traction by performing high-energy sets of covers at prominent L.A. venues such as the Country Club, the Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy, and the Troubadour, often drawing packed crowds in the vibrant Sunset Strip scene. However, internal personality clashes led to the original lineup's dissolution after a promising start, though Holmes would later reform versions of the band. In 1987, Holmes briefly left Terriff to join the shock rock band Lizzy Borden as a guitarist, brought in through his friendship with existing member Gene Allen. He remained with the group through 1988, contributing to the recording of their third studio album, Visual Lies, at Long View Farm Studios in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. The sessions were produced and engineered by Max Norman, known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, and emphasized a polished, accessible heavy metal sound that blended the band's theatrical roots with more radio-friendly elements. Holmes' involvement helped stabilize the guitar section following lineup changes, allowing the album to capture a cohesive mix of riff-driven aggression and melodic hooks during a period of transition for the band. On Visual Lies, released in September 1987 via , Holmes provided lead and parts that complemented Allen's playing, delivering shred-heavy solos and tight riffing central to tracks like the title song and "." His technical prowess, honed from earlier lessons with , added neoclassical flourishes to the album's sound, while he also received songwriting credits alongside bandmates for select compositions, enhancing the record's dynamic structure. The album marked Lizzy Borden's most commercially oriented release to date, peaking at No. 146 on the and featuring a promotional video for the single "." Holmes departed Lizzy Borden in 1988 amid reported personal and stylistic mismatches with the band's frontman, prompting him to reform Terriff for a short-lived reunion that extended into the early . During this interim period, he focused on local gigs and band iterations without major releases, using the time to refine his playing before pursuing higher-profile opportunities. Terriff disbanded again around , closing out Holmes' pre-mainstream phase in the underground L.A. metal circuit.

David Lee Roth

In 1991, Joe Holmes was recruited as lead guitarist for 's band to replace , who had been diagnosed with (ALS) shortly after completing recordings for Roth's album . Holmes' prior experience with the metal band Lizzy Borden contributed to his selection, as it demonstrated his proficiency in high-energy performance. Holmes participated in the ensuing A Little Ain't Enough world tour, which comprised 74 shows across 15 countries from February to October 1991, often co-headlining with acts like . Typical setlists blended Roth's solo material with Van Halen-era staples, opening with covers like "" () and "" (), transitioning into tracks such as "," "Unchained," and the title song "A Lil' Ain't Enough," and closing with high-octane numbers including "" () and "" (). Performance highlights included Holmes' guitar solos, where he adeptly replicated the intricate styles of , , and Becker, employing techniques like and wide learned from his earlier training with ; notable moments featured extended improvisations during "Unchained" in and "" in , earning praise for maintaining the band's technical intensity despite the transitional lineup. The touring ensemble, comprising drummer , bassist , keyboardist , and saxophonist Joe Travers, fostered a tight-knit dynamic focused on precision and showmanship, with Holmes describing the experience as a pivotal learning opportunity that honed his adaptability to diverse material. Throughout the tour, Holmes' interactions with Roth emphasized professional camaraderie, with Roth providing creative freedom that allowed Holmes to infuse his rock-oriented style into the performances, though the frontman's flamboyant stage presence often took center stage. Band dynamics were collaborative yet demanding, centered on replicating the album's polished sound live amid logistical challenges like varying venue sizes and international travel. Holmes' stint significantly elevated his profile within the community, exposing him to larger audiences and industry connections that paved the way for subsequent high-profile opportunities. He departed following the tour's conclusion in late , as Roth curtailed live activities in response to shifting musical trends favoring over , allowing Holmes to pursue other projects.

Ozzy Osbourne

Joe Holmes joined Ozzy Osbourne's band in 1995 as lead guitarist, replacing Zakk Wylde for the supporting tour of the album Ozzmosis. He auditioned successfully with band members Mike Inez and Randy Castillo, learning the setlist in just three weeks before the first performance. The tour, dubbed the "Retirement Sucks Tour," commenced on August 19, 1995, at the Austin Music Hall in Austin, Texas, marking Holmes' debut with Osbourne and launching a period of extensive global touring. During his tenure, Holmes performed at festivals from 1996 to 2000, where Osbourne headlined multiple editions of the event. These appearances featured elaborate stage setups, including towering gothic structures, dramatic lighting, and Osbourne's iconic props like inverted crosses and fog machines, creating an immersive heavy metal atmosphere for large crowds. Holmes' contributions extended to the creative process for Osbourne's 2001 album Down to Earth, where he co-wrote three tracks: "Facing Hell," "Junkie," and "That I Never Had," blending his melodic heavy metal influences with Osbourne's dark lyrical themes. He also delivered live renditions of songs like from Ozzmosis, adapting them to the band's high-energy performances. Holmes' guitar playing during this era drew heavily from his training under Randy Rhoads, incorporating precise alternate picking, wide vibrato, and neoclassical phrasing to faithfully recreate Rhoads' solos in classics like "Crazy Train" and "Mr. Crowley," while infusing Osbourne's raw, aggressive style with technical accuracy. He favored a modified Fender Stratocaster—nicknamed "The Fork" after Osbourne etched it with a fork—routed through Marshall amplification for a sustain-heavy tone that suited the band's heavy riffs and soaring leads. This approach allowed Holmes to honor Osbourne's legacy while adding his own shred-oriented flair to the live sound. Holmes departed the band in 2001 amid the recording of Down to Earth, coinciding with Wylde's return to the lineup. In reflections on the experience, he described the six years as intense and rewarding, marked by non-stop international tours that connected him deeply with passionate fans, but ultimately exhausting after traveling the world extensively. He chose to step away to prioritize family life, purchasing a home, marrying, and starting a family, viewing it as a natural pivot after achieving a career highlight in one of heavy metal's most iconic acts.

Farmikos and later projects

These efforts culminated in the band's self-titled debut album, released on January 15, 2015, via IDOK Music in both digital download and CD formats; the record compiled the prior singles along with new material co-written by Holmes, Locke, and lyricist Brent Hoffort, and featured Robert Trujillo on bass, Brooks Wackerman on drums, and guest appearances by Benji Webbe of Skindred on vocals for "Fragile" and Ken Schalk of Candiria on drums. On January 12, 2015, during an appearance on Eddie Trunk's SiriusXM radio show, Holmes outlined plans for music videos targeting songs "Scapegoat" and "Am I One" to be filmed in February, as well as preparations for live performances to promote the album. To support these endeavors, Holmes launched the official Farmikos YouTube channel in July 2013, which hosted studio footage, teasers, and promotional content to engage fans. By 2024, the debut album had evolved to wider accessibility, becoming available across major streaming platforms such as Apple Music and Amazon Music, extending its reach a decade after initial release.
