Olen joitakin vuosia hehkuttanut Holcomben ainutlaatuisuutta. Siteeraan tähän erästä mainiota arvostelua miehen live-esiintymisestä. Lainaus löytyy alunperin http://www.rockzilla.net/ -sivustoilta.

".. first heard Malcolm Holcombe at the Comet Grille in Charlotte, NC. The place is basically a two-story corridor, so the performances are extremely intimate and for that reason (as well as the grilled pimento cheese sandwich) it is one of the best venues in the city. When I first saw Malcolm, he looked like either a very hip or eccentric college professor - - a long ponytail jutted out from under a nondescript baseball cap, a brown jacket, and a pair of glasses balanced precariously at the end of his nose as he checked the settings on his PA. I was sitting at the end of the bar closest to him trying to figure out if I was going to be subjected to an evening of strum and mumble or lesbian tree-hugging tales, when this unassuming, academic bohemian-looking fellow sat down on the stool not five feet from me, grabbed his guitar, played the first note, and channeled Satan. For the next two hours Malcolm Holcombe glared, growled, spit, screamed, and damn near kicked his stool through the side window in a hellacious acoustic performance I have yet to see approached on this side of the river Styx. I left that night carrying as many of his homemade discs as I could afford and wondering why this guy wasn't the franchise player on someone's independent label..."
