Wonderful interview. The stuff you do with former W.A.S.P band members is worth listening to till the end. I love W.A.S.P music, and it is easy to understand what makes the early material heavy metal magic. The sum of the parts, including Blackie Lawless, place them at the top of the heap amongst their peers.

wow...flashbacks I used to work for Lady Killer when i was a kid, Joe Zettle used to sing for Aggressor with Dave Ferrara and left to join LK. He took my friend Joe D to play drums so I worked for them for a lil while. We would hang out after practice on like 38th st in NYC and those guys used to talk about Rik joining Steeler. Great record, great times

I was at the Cat House in LA, after party for the Concrete Music Foundation 1988 or 9 ? - With Singer Dr. Starr and another friend Mikee Mascara (Vertigo Children) and laughing it up with Rik, when Anna "Flash" Luken had us pose for a picture. I swear the 4 of us look like A "Perfect Band" I sport it on my Facebook page. Very Proud of that shot. - If I remember correctly Poison took over Ron Keels Warehouse space near Washington and LaBrea in 1985...

I believe the guy was in the band, but it’s kind of sad how he’s still rambling about it 40 years later. The guy just couldn’t play that well. End of story. That’s the reason he never got big. He had a great look but looks aren’t the only important thing.

Its well documented he was in the band. Other band members agree he was. He is in photo shoots with them 🤣 It’s interesting how people try to deny it because they get invested in Blackie Lawless’ versions of the truth.

You are just repeating things youve read or heard. You dont actually know.. Cause i find it hard to believe that a guy that cant play would record an album with Ron Keel and Yngwie ..(Steeler) Thats just the beginning of his resume. Lastly Nikki Sixx couldnt play ( very good) when he was starting Motley Crue yet you arent saying a word about him.., end of story.
