This band also helped me get through my shitty severely abusive childhood. I will forever support WASP and Blackie Lawless. Blackie, your true fans love you brother.

One of the best metal albums of the nineties, in fact one the best metal albums ever. So underrated.

crimson idol, what an underrated album. excellent music and lyrics composition.

The crimson idol is a masterpiece 🤘

I remember my great grandfather playing Wasp songs when I was a child his voice was soo unique 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had this on VHS cassette Donnington 92 special, metal hammer video magazine ,it was brilliant 🤘❤️

Calling out Bono almost 20 years ago- beautiful! This guy's been red pilling the world for 30 years. I never listened to his music, but I find his views on the world, fascinating

When I was 14, Animal was a cool song. Now that I'm approaching 50, it really is a juvenile song that I never need to hear again. They have a lot better stuff in their catalog I'd rather listen to.

I remember when W.A.S.P. first came out. I loved the music and Blackie gave me chills.

Blackie is one of a kind ❤ Adore him.

Absolute legend, already 30 years on this music drug for me

One of my favorite sons, Crimson Idol.

I heard this song as I was on my way to my deployment, pulled 6 tours and it still resonates with me. I miss all of my fallen brothers, Doc made it home physically, but mentally still there always there. FUCK!!!!!

Thanks. Nice interview. Great album.

The older we get the harder it is to compromise but we still move forward that's the thing keep moving this band is moving little Joe 😎

Great album .

well al i can say is boogity boogity boogity if he is born again awsome and if he refuses to play that song its his right. ive met this man in person. he isnt stupid by any means. in fact probably one of the most down to EARTH PEOPLE IVE EVER TALKED TO so to compaiir him to bono. fuck that blackie has more talent and real personality than bono any day of the week.

Blackie Lawless 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻

I love W.A.S.P. and Blackie Lawless just as much as the next guy, but Blackie should listen to his own words. Cause now he's the one not playing stuff from his first albums cause he's a "born again Christian". He's even said that he'll never play Animal (Fuck Like A Beast) anymore. The song that arguably made his career, if not that then it surely helped.

Happy birthday my wonderful Blackie! !!!!!!!

💗Your soul is sure in the Crimson Idol, Sugar💗

The Crimson Idol chimes with a lot of struggles I’ve lived with my entire life and will continue to until it’s eventually over.

If Blackie wants to be christian that's fine, I'm an atheist but I still love the music and respect the beliefs of others. I do wish that he wouldn't deny the fans some of the songs they want to hear though. Alice Cooper is a christian and he never strays away from any of the more dark, risque or "evil" songs on stage because he realizes it's what the fans want.

🤘💗

I understand this well. It's some men's careers usually that makes them who they become as a man. Some aren't as focused as that but some are. Getting much older definitely dampens the flame in most all people though. It's a part of reality. I told someone awhile back that I didn't think this song was about a woman from a man. The lyrics was much too deep and raw for that to have been the meaning. Relationships come and go sadly but it's true because most people aren't that faithful to hold on. There have been some that did back in history but they're rare indeed.

that was then this is now Doro is out metal mania is long gone

Blackie sounds quiet intelligent

Blackie gave an example with Bono and said that he refusses to play songs from the 3 U2 records and Blackie himself almost a decade refusses still to play Animal. I don't mind it but if he see this interview right now he will understand how he autorejects himself

Is that Bob Kulick on electric guitar?

FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS AND NOW HE WONT PLAY F**K LIKE A BEAST.... TH E IRONY. Still Love ya Lawless.

3:07 If only Blackie had listened to his advice about refusing to play songs that helped a band succeed.

Meat Loaf meet Marty Balin.

STEVE DUREN...BLACKIE....YOU MAY NEVER RECEIVE THE NOTES I LEAVE FOR YOU ON HERE ON THESE COMMENTS FOR YOUR SONGS AND INTERVIEWS..IF YOU DO BY THE HAND OF GOD SOMEHOW,THEN KNOW THIS HOLD ONTO MY HEART SPEAKS OF THE PAIN IN YOUR SOUL ..

pretty funny hearing Blackie criticize musicians for not playing their older material when he won't even play Animal live anymore.

U2? the edge..the nose? Lol! Bill bailey does their music better than they do... I'd !ove to see bono against blackie in the ring!

but yet he wont play F**k like a beast now????? WTF?

He have been saying that stuff about Bono in a couple of interviews.. yet he don't seem to recollect that "hatred" he felt towards him for denying the fans the song which actually made him famous in the first place.. it's really sad..

Why does Blackie have his stankin' ass feet hangin' out the whole time in this vid?

blackie baby stay away from ballads and anthems please

Never would listen to this guy till he became a Christian since some of his song titles are so bad. After listening to some of his later cd's I think he the band would of done better without the image they had back then.

Never liked the drumming on that album.

The Crimson Idol is one big bore fest. W.A.S.P. only has three albums. Everything after Inside The Electric Circus is crap.

lol film clip is less pre-recorded than the 40th anniversary tour
