Gary Holt says Beyoncé‘s super overrated and not all that talented — whereas Taylor Swift, in his opinion, blows her outta the water on multiple fronts … hot take ahead, y’all.
The thrash metal rocker/Exodus guitarist sat down for an interview on the “Scandalous Podcast” and gave a harsh review of Queen Bey’s catalog and accolades … claiming her body of work has required a massive team, including songwriters … comparing her to Taylor.

Then he brings out the big guns … calling Beyoncé one of music’s most overrated stars with just “marginal” talent — and he also crapped on her daughter Blue Ivy.
Holt views BI’s achievements thus far as pure nepotism … blasting her over the fact she’s won a Grammy “because she probably threw some f****** kindergarten rhyme on one line,” as GH put it.
He peppers this convo with juxtapositions to TayTay … lauding T-Swift for her hard work and kind, positive attitude — while questioning why people hate her.
Bottom line … he thinks Taylor’s great, and that Beyoncé is not — that much he makes clear.
Bey and Tay have drawn ongoing comparisons since embarking on dueling tours last year … Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” and Taylor’s “Eras” tours made hundreds of millions during their runs and helped lift entire economies.
Many people have chosen sides in this manufactured debate … but Holt’s saying there’s no contest — ’cause he thinks the crown’s too heavy for Beyoncé to wear. Them’s fighting words.
