Beyonce fans slam metal guitarist Gary Holt for saying she is ‘OVERRATED’ – while he claims Taylor Swift is more talented: ‘Mighty white of him

Beyoncé’s fans were up in arms after a metal musician accused her of being ‘overrated,’ all while praising Taylor Swift as the superior songwriter.

Gary Holt, the longtime guitarist and songwriter for the thrash metal band Exodus, gave Beyoncé a poor review while appearing on the Scandalous Podcast earlier this month.

Gary Holt, the longtime guitarist and songwriter for the thrash metal band Exodus, gave Beyoncé a poor review while appearing on the Scandalous Podcast earlier this month.

The 60-year-old musician called the songstress — who experimented with elements of country music on her recent Cowboy Carter album — merely a ‘marginal’ talent, and he even criticized the acclaim that her daughter Blue Ivy has received.

Among Holt’s biggest complaints about Beyoncé was that he felt she couldn’t properly call herself a songwriter because of the sometimes lengthy lists of writers credited to many of her songs.

‘Beyoncé will put out a song, and there’s 30 f***ing people on it. How can 30 people write a song all gathered together? It’s like, you’re not a songwriter, Beyoncé,’ he said.
