Blackie is unique in the Hollywood strip. He was relentless but also smart. Knew how to capture people. Gave them what they craved at the time. He was ver In tuned to rhe vibe of the moment.

WASP forever

Agree 100%

WASP is Heavy Metal Mötley Rock,you need more the comparison with Maiden and Ozzy and for me WASP is on the same Level and more powerfull,the had so much power they 2 never ever had

and Mötley was awesome in their prime

@@Endo-uu8mo kinda referring more to the "look," and "attitude" really. Loved the first two albums. Just fell off for me as time went. I've always gravitated toward a little heavier stuff anyway. Each of us is free to form our own opinions, and to feel however we like. Lol, not like I'm writing an op-ed piece for Rolling Stone or anything.

@@Endo-uu8mo I'll not deny Crue their talent or success...their first two LP's were brilliant. I've seen em several times over the years. They simply went in a different direction than I did.

Blackie tried to hand Nikki 'Wild Child' but Nikki didn't think Vince could do it justice.

A very unique band. Never been so passionate about a band like i am with w.a.s.p. The band is soundtrack of my life. Blackies lyrics move me in such way i never knew i could be moved by a lyric.❤🎶.I have requested golgotha a few times now and have been yet to be reacted to something i find damn sad ugh😥

Seriously underrated. RIP

@@TheAdventuresofTNT hey next time when you react to W.A.S.P. react to their song called The Headless Children or No Way Out Of Here

Best Metal voice to me

@@ulrichhartel6805 far better than all others,Blackie and Rob was the best Metall Singers in the 80s

all are great but the first 4 are the best youre right🤘⚡⚡🦅🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🍻

The whole album is a classic.

Mine as well! I'm only a couple years older than you.

For me since I was about 15. That was a good while ago. Love this band .

Blackie became a Born Again Christian and refuses to play any of their old songs anymore. He sold out to religion. Still a great singer though.

@@ll7868 Well better turn into a believer than become commercialized like them just for the sake of more money and fame

@@samslone9457 Metallica members are Christians too. Lots of other metal bands, didn't sell out for commercial success and didn't need religion to stay true to their music. Turning to religion changed Blackie from a rock n roll rebel to a preacher who won't play the songs fans want to hear, that's selling out. I like their older stuff but don't listen to anything after his conversion.

@@ll7868 And I don't listen to anything after black album

@@samslone9457 Neither do I, the Black Album was made for radio play, short songs, simplistic themes, no thrash whatsoever. Through The Never is the heaviest song on the album and it's just hard rock. ...And Justice For All's production was shit, all high end tones with very little guitar distortion, no bass at all. On top of that Lars just let himself go, never practices and is constantly fucking up live shows.

F'ING RIGHT!! I had Live In The Raw and Inside The Electric Circua (loved them), Headless is what made me become a WASP forever loyalist!

The Horror is my favourite song by them.

John Dough i agree. Love the album so much. I love Kill your pretty face,Horror,U and totured eyes 🖤❤

KFD is so killer,bought it day of release

The first 3 are also great look at 84 performances London,same level as Maiden and Priest,The first 4 WASP Records are masterpieces and very underrated when you see that Maiden was better with that sloppy drums from Nicko!!!!

but WASP is better than Maiden

​@@Endo-uu8mo Absolutely - the first 4 albums (including the live album) are untouchable. They may have been "animated" and the songs may have been the typical "rock & roll bullshit" with nothing particularly astute (political statements ,etc) to say, but they still did it amazingly well. As for them being better than Maiden? Well, I dunno about that - back in the day, definitely, they could hold their own, but now? Blackie's voice is fucked. It only sounds good on albums cos of the auto-tune. In concert he struggles (listen to The Sting, or the acoustic demos of Hallowed Ground and Trail Of Tears - pretty cringey), and you can hear the strain just to croak out any sound, and he ends up not singing anything at all (more than half the time), letting the band's backing vocals or the crowd's "sing-along" efforts fill in the gaps. I'm not trying to dis Lawless, just face facts. We all get old and it takes its toll in different ways, and when you've been singing (screaming?) metal vocals for 40+ years, it's remarkable they still have a voice at all - but still, let's not bullshit ourselves out of devout fandom, lol. Even Dickinson is sounding a little worn (I think his range has been reduced a bit), but I'd say he is in a hell of a lot better shape vocally than Lawless. I'm also not pleased that Lawless has to drag his faith into the lyrics of his songs now (and boycott all the classics like Animal). If I wanted to hear that stuff on EVERY song, I'd listen to Stryper. But, because I've followed Lawless and W.A.S.P. for all these years, I can't just drop them as easily as I did other bands (including Maiden) when all they did was change lead vocalists (I had a real "thing" about that, lo, but I'm getting back into them all again). But if a future W.A.S.P. album (or even Lawless solo album) ever sounds like a Pat Boone album or church hymnal, where even the music is altered for that religious rot, I think that will be it for me. I can turn a "deaf ear" to lyrics and just gloss over those (did it for years with Venom), but if the music is affected, that's a different ball game. Hah, sorry for the long-ass rant. Cheers!

Excellent choices. Especially savatage! Favorite for sure. The Oliva brothers were able to effortlessly weave some magical shit lol. Rip Criss

That movie is almost as classic as Spinal Tap, a must watch.

Only some of it was vodka most of it was water he was playing up for the interview he admitted it afterwards

@@brandonharris9769 wrong.the only reason there was water in the bottle is because it was filling up with pool water.period.the producer wanted to re shoot the interview because he was so fucked up.but she was informed they had no more money.so they had to use the footage.dude was a self described "full blown alcoholic."he is now sober.

Thanks for the info. Happy for him if he's feeling better. Still, let's not gatekeep W.A.S.P. ok? The whole 'Don't take God's name in vain thing' isn't making anyone suddenly clutch their pearls and become Christian, grow a thicker skin man. Quite a few people turned away from their music because the Christian fans get preachy about everyone needing to convert, which is an absolute shame because their new music is really good and can be enjoyed on a musical level as an atheist or person of another religion as well.

Hahaha! God is a fantasy. Welcome to Science. Stop being antivax and not believing in the moon landing.
