Blackie Lawless is one of the most underrated songwriters of all time!

W.A.S.P are so underrated, they have so much meaning in their songs, still going to this day.

Holy shit, man. Charisma is a totally underrated song. I've requested this from countless amounts of reaction channels, but no one has ever done it. 🤘

Eventuality W.A.S.P will be recognised for the excellent band they've been over the last 30 odd years! Excellent review 😁

Dude, you are one of the best reviewers I have seen to date. You’re not afraid to shy away from certain music and you’re not afraid to take on certain music. Thanks man stay real brother.

I really should listen to more WASP as this is the only song I've heard of their's. However, with that being said, I absolutely love this song. That build-up, the riff, the solo, the lyrics, this song is the total package. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

You just earned a follower. WASP is a hidden treasure in rock and roll. They got famous for a song called fuck like a beast, but have evolved over the years to much more than that. Blackie is a born again christian now and still rocking years later. When it comes to lyrics blackie is the best. My dad died a few years back. In my family we don't process that shit in public. Angry is something we do, but sadness and crying is not. Anyway i was in my shop and had youtube on random and a song by WASP came on called Miss You. Brought me to tears immediately. The man hit everything i felt in a few words. I owe Blackie for that really so if he ever reads this...thanks brother. You got me through a tough patch.

Always thought Blackie is a very underrated singer and song writer. 🤘🏻

I recommend The Headless Children or The Heretic (The Lost Child)

The references in this song is what make that much more of a great piece of art.

Wasp is one of the greatest bands of the 80s and 90s. This song tells the deep story of satan and how much his influence has impacted time. The video shows that and the song says it all. Blackie is a great song writer and this band is definately worth looking into. You will be impressed. 80's Wasp is more about sex but as they approached the 90's they got darker and deeper with the lyrics.

the images were actually written in that specific way. So, the references made is how the song was written and it's a slam dunk. Love this song. But i agree; WASP are so underrated.

Two of my absolute favourites are "The Heretic" and "The Headless Children".

I appreciate the reaction dude. I haven't listened to WASP in probably 20 years and I was blown away at how good this one is. I saw them at the War memorial in Nashville somewhere around 86 and became a huge fan. Getting older and the numerous line-up changes made me drift away from them but it's really cool to rediscover them.I can recommend Blind in Texas, Ballcrusher, Wild Child ,Easy Livin', Restless Gypsy, and the Infamous Animal (F**k like a beast) off the top of my head.

I'm so jacked to finally get to see W.A.S.P. live in November. A fan since the F**k Like a Beast EP and for some reason, I never got to see them.

Another great reaction, yea wasp is like a box of chocolates you never know what ur gonna get, greatness in every piece. Peace be with you my friend.

You wanna hear a killer tune do thunderhead. Off of the headless children kicks ass

SLEEPING (IN THE FIRE)

Some songs to listen to: Wild child, sleeping in the fire, Arena of pleasure, Forever free, Hellion, aw hell... this would take all night to list them all... Enjoy.

Sleeping in the fire and wild child, blind in texas, GOLGOTHA , cries in the night

One of their best songs. Excellent choice bro!

I have this exact video in my playlist. It is very powerful. Glad you liked this W.A.S.P. song!

Thank you so much for reacting to w.a.s.p☺. Blackie Lawless is fare one of the best songwriter out there .His lyrics have meaning and is very intelligent made. Love w.a.s.p and Blackie.,❤I would recommend you reacting to Babylon Burning that song have strong political messages aswell would recommend golgotha also .Golgotha is more of Biblical message.🙂

I used to listen to wasp a lot, but kind of grew out of their lyric content, it has only been their more recent stuff that has sparked my interest again. This song in particular is great!

Im a bit late to the party on the reaction video but this is one of my favourite WASP tracks, which actually says a lot, because I've been a WASP fan since 1989, and I've loved so many of their albums from start to back. Some earlier WASP songs are still high on the list of songs I love. This is one of them.

IMO it's definitely one of their BEST songs they've ever done.

Blackie went very dark on the album before this one, K.F.D. (Kill.F**k.Die). Try the song "The Horror".

I love the end of 'Unholy Terror' and the clown face in the bomb explosion.

Great assessment TNT, wasp is a very underrated band.

You should give babalons burning a listen

Go 80s W.A.S.P . Blind in Texas is funky as hell. Also, LOVE machine has a fun 80s video.

Came here after the Chainsaw Charlie reaction. Great stuff. WASP has pretty quickly become my favorite band. So many incredible songs. Stuff from flashy dirty 80s rock to deeper songs like this, they have it all. Honestly I think from beginning to end, The Headless Children is the best album I've ever heard. Highly recommend! Even their latest album, Golgotha gets a little unnecessary hate. Lyrically there are a lot of Christian references, which isn't my bag but damn the album rocks either way. Great stuff!

Thanks for doing more WASP. Would love to see you go back to the earlier stuff though - I Wanna Be Somebody, I Don't Need No Doctor, School Daze, Blind In Texas, Inside the Electric Circus, Wild Child, etc - it really was the classic era of the band, and a great snapshot of the music world before the everything devolved into this PC insanity it seems to be suffering from now. If WASP started today, rather than then, doubt they would have seen a single album released.

Most powerful song I've ever heard and I've been listening to metal all my life I'm 50 years old I listen to this song at least once a day

Animal...Sleeping in the Fire...I Wanna be Somebody...Blind in Texas

During the most recent years, W.A.S.P. but they've added a lot of historical fact into their music. One of my 5 BEST from them.

Glad someone reacting to this....you got my subscribe brother ...!

WASP is still my favorite band after listening to them for more than 30 years (sorry for the english spelling).

I love pretty much all W.A.S.P. eras. Sure there are weaker albums, but there are some killers as well. Most of them are solid. Many of them are underrated. For a hard-hitting song, try Heretic (The Lost Child). For something more melodic and emotional, try Golgotha. For something more of a ballad, try Forever Free or Hold on to My Heart. For something funky, try The Real Me (original by The Who).

As a fan of W.A.S.P. since it’s its inception through to now (by far my fave band). I am so glad you digging them and more so, getting them. Huge kudos from Australia my brother 🇦🇺🤘

Awesome job again. WASP was a awesome band and their debut album is a classic rocker not a bad song anywhere on it. Check out the song Tormentor !

Forever Free by W.A.S.P. very very good.

gives me goosebumps every time!!!!!

This is one of my fav WASP tunes, im a life long fan from the day. Id lile to see your reaction to WASP Sleeping in the Fire!

do you all realize the enormity of the meaning of this song

3 favorite WASP tunes today... B.A.D., Damnation Angels, Blind In Texas.... SOOO many more killer tracks by this band. Peace!!!

Super lyrics, and Song,. Ultimate ❤

The great misconceptions of me... off of the album the Crimson Idol. Absolutely love this song because it parallels so many different aspects of life... Blackie is a creator... one of the best and is severely underrated...

I also like that it was played in a Marching beat, where you can feel the minions following behind the leaders. Are you with them....? Great song choice and awesome job. Thanks.

I just found this didn't know you did It a month ago your in for a treat when go and check out all of his songs I keep pestering you about the newest wasp offical video Golgotha

WASP. GOLGOTHA 🙏

Check out Golgotha, Widowmaker or Sleeping in the Fire...

Nailed it . Try heaven hung in black and evermore totally different music vibe great messages . Then check out kill fuck die freak heavy duty song thumbs up . Glad someone appreciate them . Their image doomed them early but blackie only got better

Wasp Babylon. Must see!!!

You should try W.A.S.P - Golgatha

Absolutely love your reactions ...you get it...when it comes to Blackie ...

Amazes me the relevance this song has , especially towards a recent political figure.

Love these song! 👌🏻

Cool song. Yeah, the song is obviously in a religious context. It's basically about following charismatic "God-like" figures & the ensuing battles between good and evil, some in the name of God/religion. The "ss" sound may represent the serpent (Satan), & "I Am" (God). "I'm the Alpha-Omega man" (God-like man), "I'll show you who I Am (God)" represents the God-like man demonstrating he's like God. This could easily describe Jesus as well. In the 3rd-Century, De Principiis, Book II, Chapter VI, On the Incarnation of the Christ, Origen described Jesus as "the God-Man." Specific people & groups seem to be referenced in the song, & organized religion itself is a target too. Considering the overarching theme, we could safely add certain evangelical TV preachers to the list as well.

Blackie Lawless must have read plenty of Frank Herbert laying it down about charismatic leaders and the danger they present to civilization; The main idea of Dune which has a new movie coming out very soon by Denny Villeneuve, the director of Blade Runner 2049.

I love wasp and this is one of their most incredible songs and you definitely got it right that it's about following Leaders with charisma whether they're good or bad which is frightening. Do you have another song called Babylon And I love wild child. Unholy terror charisma CDs out of print sadly. Thanks for watching and commenting on this song

This song has a lot of messages to listen to.

Holy fuck this is underrated!

Another really powerful song of theirs is "Heaven's hung in black"

Loved your video. Listen to "The raging storm" and to "U" from the K.F.D. album

Every line from these songs are quotes from dictators. No joke.

Heavens hung in black next, Blackie Lawless writes best lyrics with amazing context. Deserves more praise but hindered by many misperceptions. Music gets better as he ages, very knowledgeable and music is outstanding.

the Acoustic Version of Sleeping in the fire

Great song great album

If you want to try their classics you should go for Wild Child, L.O.V.E. Machine, I Wanna Be Somebody, Blind In Texas - these four all have videoclips-, Animal (Fuck Like a Beast), or if you want an awesome solo-filled slow one you should go for The Idol (for this one react to the album version, not the videoclip because it has an intolerably edited short version).

I love WASP. I recommend Raging storm by them. It chills meevery time. Glad someone likes them too

You are the only one that is actually doing WASP,,,This, Chainsaw Charlie, Goodbye America,, Some really cool Trax thank you. But it's been awhile since you have done a WASP reaction. Please,,please,,do "The Horror" or "Sister Sadie (and the black habits") I promise they blow the rest away...........

You’re awesome!!! We all need Jesus!!!

Headless Children.....amazing

This is METAL ART

Three more W.A.S.P. recommendations would be "The Headless Children" (the aftermath of nuclear war) and "Shadowman" & "Hallowed Ground" (Blackie's reaction to 9/11/2001)

That horned skull in the mushroom cloud was used for the cover of Mercyful Fate's album "9". Not sure who had the concept first?

Try The Horror, The Idol, The Burning Man, The Great Misconceptions Of Me, Widowmaker, Tormentor, or Into The Fire. Any of those would be interesting 👍

Wasp is amazing. Been listening to them forever. There are lots of deep messages in their music like this song. Unholy Terror is my favorite song of theirs (unholy terror/charisma) but Headless Children also is amazing. As all their songs are. Megadeth also has many good messages in their Music. United Abominations is probably my favorite of their records. Also Forever Free is a fantastic Wasp song with a little different somewhat more light of a message than Charisma and Headless Children and I love the Ballad of it too. Fantastic...The message I got from Charisma is a bit different than just following this version though. Wrap myself in the American flag is about All American Presidents not just the ones listed here. If I remember correctly in the Album it tells you what each lyric is about as I read through it all.

I agree ... somebody body gets its

Testament City Of Angels. Also did you quit drinking Beer? That song was dope Lol! Cheers Bro!

Still, during the solo, I love that photo of Jesus arm-wrestling Satan. Who's gonna win?

Blackie travels in his own lane no doubt, and he don't give a f**k what anyone thinks.....He's one of a kind in the writing department 👍👍👍

💣🤟

Heaven hung in black

Checkout Wasp sleeping in the fire, live at the Lyceum. Kick-ass from start to finish its a must listen 👍

Blackie in this song called out that they was baby eaters in this song and it seems to be true weirdly enough .....poor kids

I don't think he meant Lennon from the Beatles, like the picture.

Charisma ... anything Hitler makes me cry. I'm 40 years old. Stalin destroyed my grandmothers house to prepare, Hitler was doing west with Norway, Stalin attacking from the east. Technically Hitler and Stalin were "allies" at this point but both saw thru the smoke. Hitler from the west, Stalin from the east. Insanity. Don't call people Nazi's or Commies on social media, a few years ago MILLIONS died over these terms.

W.A.S.P.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WASP is sore of like George Carlin of Music. They make you THINK about what is in the message.

You should play “The Peace” This song will really cut deep.

Wasp was talking about the devil

"I'm a thing that lives and breathers With slaves to worship me There are many that are born of me Anytime there are many me's Crowned messiah, I crucified him And still ya don't believe I am kings - I am queens Unholy terrors me" This is for the: Killuminati, I'm sure.

Check out Lake of fools by WASP!

T: What I got...... (someone new trying to understand Blackie) Me: LOL! I bought their music when it was newly released so OK, you give it a go! No one else has ever figured him out HAHA! I salute you for trying ^5!

you should listen to the "the terror" by W.A.S.P.

Unholy Terror was the last album to feature Chris Holmes before leaving the band... again.

The real me now fool

please WASP last runaway
