The Crimson Idol for metal, is what Beethoven’s 7th Symphony is to the Romantic period.

The Idol is a masterpiece.

One of the most underrated bands of all time. I'm glad I found your channel.

The Crimson Idol album carried me through some of the hardest days of my life. Blackie Lawless saved me when I wasn’t sure I wanted saved. So I thank him and you for feeling the power W.A.S.P.

Blackie Lawless is quite possibly the best lyric writer in Metal. I consider him like the Bob Dylan of Metal.

"Forever Free" is a must listen !!!!

Always a pleasure to see you reaction to W.A.S.P., and i'm glad someone on youtube speak about Blackie, he deserves it, such talent, such a great voice.

One of the greatest albums written. Another amazing ballad by them is Forever Free.

W.A.S.P.- It's heavy metal magic of 1990 years.

Along with Iron maiden WASP are my fave band. Every time they tour the UK i try to see them at least twice so far managed to see them 13 times so far. Absolutely one of the most underrated Rock bands of all time and Blackie has one of the greatest voices in Rock

That solo was done by Bob Kulick, Bruce Kulick (from Kiss), his brother. He did all the guitars on the album. Brilliant

I love W.A.S.P. Ive listened to this band since the mid 80's . I got to meet Blackie Lawless on the 2022 tour! They're great live! ❤🖤

Another masterpiece from The Crimson Idol is "The Great Misconceptions of Me". The whole album is a masterpiece, but that is the finale. "The Horror" is inspired by the Colonel Kurtz character in "Apocalypse Now", played by Marlon Brando. A must-see Vietnam War movie, if you've never seen it. Blackie is one of the unique voices in metal, very underrated for his singing. It works so well with his style of music.

I’ve loved Bob Kulick’s lead guitar work on this album since I bought it when it was first released.

The Great Misconceptions of Me is another great song from the Crimson Idol. U and My Tortured Eyes are good songs off the KFD album.

I'd always love to hear more WASP.

Good evening, the Idol is a beautiful and haunting song, the Crimson Idol is a masterpiece and this song fits perfectly into it. Thanks for sharing.

Babylons Burning is a MUST!!

If you liked this one. I'd recommend WASP's "Miss You" It's on the same level as this one, if not even slightly better.

Love that you did the Horror man. Probably my favorite WASP album. If you want more songs like that, there's Kill Your Pretty Face, Killahead, Fetus/Little Death, and of course, the title track. Keep up the good work.

You gotta check out I Wanna Be Somebody and Sleeping in the Fire.

Their KFD album deserves a special spot by itself. Blackie wanted to take you on a horror ride and he does such a good job achieving his task.

When WASP did the tour to accompany the album,the show intro was the doors "the end"track and the chopper sounds from the movie " apocalypse now"....the horror in my eyes was inspired by the climatic scene with Brando being killed by sheen....Col.Kurz's dieing words " the horror,the horror"...

The Horror intro: "It's like Michael Myers"... Yeah, Thats a perfect comparison, right there.

Wasp are one of my all time favourite bands from the 80's, Blackie is the Master when it comes to writing amazing ballads and of course gut wrenching Metal songs.

Crimson Idol is my favorite album by W.A.S.P I remember walking through the woods and snow with this on my walkman, going to my girlfriend's house. Today's music isn't the same.

thank you for reacting to w.a.s.p....greetings from Romania

W.A.S.P. - Last Runway , One Tribe , Restless Gypsy , and I Wanna Be Somebody.

Thanks for reacting on the best song from WASP, The Horror. Also you should get an adblock plugin for your webbrowser. :)

Love your reactions & glad you discovered W.A.S.P. If you want to see Blackie rockin more &having fun with a cool song, check out "Sunset & Babylon" from 1993. The video & song will have you smiling & rockin!! Highly recommended my friend.

Once every couple of years I play this album to the ground for over a month. It's fucking amazing.

Simply Brilliant. Thank you😁

AWESOME songs!

The Horror is a song Blackie will never perform again. One of the darkest times he doesn't wish to revisit.

WASP is a badass 80's metal band.

I am so late but thank you reacting to WASP songs... i am huge fan of WASP

The Idol is Heaven, The Horror is hell

Sleeping in the fire is a kick ass song

Wasp were a big part of my childhood growing up especially the crimson idol album it’s a masterpiece

Also check out the KFD interview from 1997 in Europe....AWESOME!!!

Thanks for listening to wasp songs. Blackie is an amazing singer songwriter. He deserves the same fan base as kiss motley Crue. So underated yet so talented.

Love it another W.A.S.P song... best lyrics Blackie is the best he has so much talent! The guitar solos are amazing too

Wasp forever free & widowmaker must do

All in for a livestream session with w.a.s.p 😊

That whole album is amazing

What a reaction 🥰😍😎

This one still gives me goose bumps

KFD was a departure from previous albums, and they got back to "bad boy" hard rock with Helldorado. Axl from GnR is probably a better song writer, but not by much, but Blackie's vocals are something special for the hard rock enthusiast.

The whole off lp is something else. One of my favorite lp period. U ought do the whole crimson idol lp since it is a concept lp that tells a story though out and the reidolize is a newer version that expands it and there is a full length accompanying video to go with been a wasp fan since 84 and they replaced kiss as my go to artist thumbs up bro

Headless children is the album you need to hear as its wasp at their best.

A WASP Live Stream would be awesome. You know WASP had the very first Web-Concert. It was for the first global Earth Day...

Very progressive... I'm hearing this for the first time... So fucking dark thank you TNT

Oh cool - the studio versions. I was expecting the live version from Double Live Assassins for some reason, lol. The Horror is an odd match-up for The Idol, but hey - musical diversity, right? lol The Horror is DARK. That whole KFD album shook me hard when I first heard it. I wasn't sure I could listen to it anymore and it actually made me lose sleep ; it was a total psychological assault for me, lol. But I soldiered on and came to terms with it, looked at it from different perspectives til I found one that I could reconcile with. It's now one of my favorite albums by W.A.S.P. - it's said that KFD is the end result of Blackie purging all his anger and hate over a lover who informed him one day, after a long relationship, she "liked girls now" and she was gone. I would never begrudge anyone from deciding they were gay or bi or whatever, and I'd let them go and wish them well, but getting dumped is getting dumped and it sucks no matter how amicable it might be done (I don't think she did it all that tactfully, hence his anger). As for ballads, you will not find more balladly ballads than "Keep Holding On" and "Breathe", both from the Still Not Black Enough album.

the whole album KFD is worth as listen to, but the song thats closest to the horror is KILL YOUR PRETTY FACE. check it out

Ok brother love you..thats how we been brought up

Yes!

Very very good, yea putting an ad in while the song plays is stupid. Anyways great reaction my friend ❤️. Yes wasp is like a box of chocolates never no what ya gonna get. Love this band Blackie is awesome. ☮️ TaTa.

The Horror was inspired by Apocalypse Now.

"The Idol" touches my soul! Check out "Godless Run" by WASP! Moving.

and u need to see the live of The Horror XD

The idol solos are very David Gilmore sounding to me. Love both bands.

BLACKIE LAWLESS, definitivamente es un genio del género hardrock y metal.

Never heard The Horror before but has a Slipknot feel to it?

Scary how Michael Myers mask is the face of an expressionless man...but still, a man; a mean man.

Do my tortured eyes theres a nice fan made video also

Being crazy in paradise is easy. Yep.

🤘🏻😎

It’s a song for Michael Myers to listen 🎧 too

Listen to breathe

You should check out kfd by wasp

Nice reaction. I'm about to blow your mind though. Although it looks like you've reacted to several WASP songs, The Horror is the first W.A.S.P. song you've listened to. Let me explain. KFD, is a reunion album between Blackie and original guitarist Chris Holmes. Chris left in 89 and Blackie continued on a solo career he continued to call WASP. I'm not going to sit here and say that his solo albums aren't some of the best albums by a band called WASP, they are, but they aren't from the band that came to fame and infamy in the 1980s. They aren't from the band that Tipper Gore, the Washington Wives, the PMRC helped destroy their career in America. W.A.S.P. is the genesis of the Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics campaign that back fired in their face and gave all us metal heads a goal to seek out every album that had that label. It was a seal of approval if they disapproved of it. Motley Crue never used a swear word on an album until the label came along. So getting back to W.A.S.P. one of the craziest and profane bands of the 80s. They were known for outrageous lyrics, stage shows and album covers. If you want to hear the real W.A.S.P. , the band, check out their early releases I Wanna Be Somebody, L.O.V.E. Machine (make sure you watch the video on this one), Tormentor, Ballcrusher, Blind in Texas or finally something from the album that was the precursor to his solo stuff, The Headless Children, the title track or Mean Man. This is pure 80s W.A.S.P. the band that made it possible for Blackie to make those solo albums and more. I can't guarantee you'll like them, they are very different from what you've heard so far.

Try Golgotha !! WASP

Kill fuck die album , which horror is from , to me always like resurgence of what the attitude, the show and the look of the band was in Sister (1976-1978) and Wasp was before especially live before 1984 . Wasp was a very dark band . Blackie wanted to revival that in 1997 There s an interview of 1995 where he talks about that . Most people didn't get it in 1997 . A very dark and radical album . With industrial edges . But thats what the band felt like also before the official first album of 1984 , in less industrial though. Thats why the band is definitivly not a part of that " Hair tag metal " some people put long after the Battle . I think because they don't where to put them . Instead of admitting they re doing their thing . Early Wasp demos and SISTER ( same band ) had a very similar look of what death and black metal bands would put later .. Also certain songs have a proto thrash feel and Blackie screechings vocals were spooky and had that kind of black shierk . Try Master of Disaster .

check out kill fuck die from same album (title of the album), all songs are like the horror, it was wasp one and only industrial album
