Blabbermouth —  “Born Work Die”, the new video from former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes‘s MEAN MAN project, can be seen below. The track appears on Holmes‘ new album, “Shitting Bricks”, to be made available later in the year via M & O Music.

MEAN MAN celebrated the release of “Shitting Bricks” with a special show on May 2 at at Le Ferrailleur in Nantes, France.

MEAN MAN is:

Chris Holmes: Lead Guitar, Vocals
Thomas Cesario: Guitar
Pascal Bei: Bass
Gabriel Candela: Drums

In a recent interview with Noisey, Holmes was asked he was surprised by the attention he got with the video for his song “Let It Roar”. “No,” he responded. “I think it’s just because people are talking trash about me. You know, once it gets on Blabbermouth, they start talking about how crappy it is. They’re always gonna compare everything I do to W.A.S.P., no matter what. So they start bad-mouthing it. That’s probably why it’s gotten so viral. But you know, [the video] is just what I do in [my new hometown of] Cannes [France]. It’s a beautiful city. You see me fishing and stuff. I think one part of the video shows a wave hit the rocks and almost knock me off. [Laughs] It’s a neat town. You can’t do the same things in L.A.”

Holmes also talked about his decision to move to France last year. He said: “My wife is from France. But since I left W.A.S.P. I dangled around in L.A., trying to find musicians to play with, but it just didn’t work out. The change of culture in the last ten years… My kind of music isn’t played that much — not like it was in the ’80s.”
