Rayfield Holloman talks about the wildest fan reaction.
Guitarist Rayfield Holloman, who has played for the likes of Eminem, Diddy, and more, recently sat down with Revolt for their latest installment of the ‘Tour Tales‘ interview series. On the show, he talks about dance instructions from Diddy on tour, why touring will never be the same, meeting Eminem, and more.
For over 15 years, guitarist Rayfield “RayRay” Holloman has brought songs by Eminem, Diddy, N.E.R.D., and others to life on stage. Being that close to an artist has given the musician a perspective on their effect that fans seldom witness.
In the interview, he revealed that he has never played for bigger crowds than Eminem concerts. Then he was asked about the wildest fan reaction he has seen at an Eminem show.
“I’ve seen a few girls in the crowd topless at Eminem shows,” says Rayfield. “I’m not going to hold you, I love shit like that (laughs). I love when you give it your all and be free. I think it was in Australia when we toured a few years ago. I’ve seen people bare it all out there.”
He also shared some light on connecting with Eminem, “Adam Blackstone. He’s the chief dot connector. My introduction to Em was me filling in for Adam playing bass. Adam asked me and it felt like a daunting task because the guitar is my main instrument. To fill in for someone as skilled as Adam on a show with Eminem felt a little daunting at first. I definitely got through it. Once I met Eminem, I saw how cool and down to earth he was. In rehearsals, he’d be cracking jokes. It made me feel comfortable in that space. It was a relaxed atmosphere. He doesn’t make you feel you have to meet a certain standard.”
