I can too. Blackie gives the best interviews of anyone in the business!

100%

Harpo's Rocks!!

@trance9158 I saw GNR there, Motley, Judas Priest, Halford, etc. So many bands in their beginning seem to play there.

@@musclebud8718 yep.. the 80s and early 90s were really rocking in Detroit then.

The current band is nice but it will never be satisfying. Most of us want Randy, Chris and Blackie on bass. It’s a long shot … but yet again, three years ago WASP had no US presence and is now poised for a second successful US tour, so who knows?

@TheMetalBlock380 I made one from a Luke Skywalker Star Wars figure.

Love the chance theater.

You are a legend❤

Same in Grand Rapids Michigan.. looks like it's been changed to Detroit now.

You'll just have to wait because that won't be happening.

Don’t hold your breath.

Well he KD does have a new album being released late 2024 followed by a US Tour as he said in february 2024 intetview a few months begore April South Ametican Mercuful Fate shows

Think again, King was on some years back, also Mickey Dee has been on and Andy many times kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrt5paeCkuDMe4k.html&ab_channel=TheMetalVoice

That you'd prefer Blackie to talk about the likes of a heroin junkie who was in the band long enough for a cup of coffee over hearing him talk about the people who have been current band members for years and years gives me an idea of how it would be really easy for Blackie to resent some of his fanbase. Familiarity breeds contempt.

W.A.S.P have had released 10 progressive albums since 1989. It requires different musicians with different approaches since the albums are not just 80s blues.

Yeah. He’s a great BSer. I was at the first 2 shows of the last US tour and there was no smell of cotton candy or hot dogs 😂

@@TheMiker568 Yeah, I saw them In Stockholm and there was no cotton candy smell either, but there were a lot of too obvious backing tracks most of the time 🤣

The lead vocals on most of the songs sounded exactly like they did on the records which was almost 40 years ago. Hmmm…….

@@TheMiker568 Right, and he kept singing even when he stepped away from the mic at one point, hmmm indeed

He didn't ducked up anything or anyone. He always remembers them as his friends and shares a nice or funny story remembering them. WASP isn't just the 3,4 albums in the 80s there has been more progressive sound over the years that requires a different mindset, musicians etc...

@@yildirimbas yes he did , big time

@@jimharrison2731 gfy

from Blackie "My mother was from Houston originally and there was a guy there who had that first name Blackie and apparently he was some sort of local gang member. My mom had worked for the USO during the second world war and she was a professional dancer. She would do these shows and they would go around to service clubs. And this guy walked in one night and got into an argument with one of the sailors," says Lawless. "He took a switchblade and he stuck it in the guy in his stomach and walked around the guy with the blade in him, so he did a circle around his body. And I heard that story, and it left a lasting impression," he explains. "So with the color of the hair and all, it just stuck. It's been with me ever since." as for Lawless - during the '70s there was a guy who played for the Dallas Cowboys who was an all-pro center named Burton Lawless. The back of their jerseys with that name on it, I couldn't resist that

@@sytharnia1717 Thank you for the explanation, much appreciated.

He talked for an hour. How long of an interview do you expect him to give?

@@russellspear6188 My comment was in reference to the *numerous* times he says that in pretty much every interview, including this one.

@@paulfrehley7352 Name a singer who you think is a better spoken and more compelling interview than Blackie Lawless.

@@paulfrehley7352 Who explains ALL details of their life /thoughts when it’s a private matter. Stupid to think he’s gonna answer and explain everything about personal topics. Goofball

@@russellspear6188 100% irrelevant.
