One of my favorite albums ever, it's a masterpiece. 🤘

Saw W.A.S.P. open for Maiden on the Powerslave tour. Great job to Blackie for keeping his band going. Still sounds killer!!

Great guitar work by Bob Kulick...R.I.P. Sir

Almost 30 years have passed, but when I listen to this song I have an adrenaline rush like the first time I listened to it. Great Blackie!

Never the same when a band re record old tunes especially when it's different musicians and altered lyrics

One of the best parts of this is the fact I wasn't alive during the Crimson Idol's original release, so in a weird sense I was able to live seeing the Crimson Idol's release with this record (in terms of seeing Blackie's interviews, seeing the videos, the first day I got to hear the whole thing and the new songs were great additions too).

One of the best bands i ever heard! Majestic WASP 🤟⭐

One of the Greathests Metal songs EVER!!!

He is godfather of heavy metal,thanks for best musics

I love this album and especially this song. Now I have even more reasons to love this masterpiece. Blackie is still great.🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I like the the tighter sound and that snare sounds great. Love the bass as well. But I'd take Frankie's original drum performance over this one. This new one just doesn't have that intensity that Frankie brought on the original. The new lyrics are good but the original was raw and I felt the anger that Blackie was conveying in the first recording. Bassed on this single I think I'll stick to the original. The Crimson Idol is a great concept album.

It's amazing how meta this song is.

Frank Banali killed on drums, amazing drumming

cant get this song outta my head looove it!

His voice is still so powerful regardless almost 30 years from the release of CC.

Wow.....cool sound....changed lyrics...well..why not........great job.....love it...!!! Rock n Roll. .!!!!

Woah! I had no idea W.A.S.P. signed to Napalm Records! Seems like a very good home for them!

Brutal as ever... W.A.S.P. rules!

This is pretty impressive. Wow, I dig it. Well done (re-done) Blackie....

W.A.S.P. back to top.. you guys rocks!!

i love both versions

Such an awesome and well-written song

Master Song of a Master Piece (The Crimson Idol).

Never mind the lyrics This video is amazing.The guy who plays Charlie looks like a cross between Lee Majors and Doc Mcghee and Jonathan looks like an 80s rockstar.This takes me back to the 80s apart from the fact Blackie is a genius

This is a really great album.🌌🌌👏👏👍👍👍 Danke

the video is great! this is my favorite band! love it😍💞😻💜

the great group !!!!!

Love it!!

Love it! The new lyrics will take some getting used to, but I still like it. Blackies voice is amazing... and I'm glad he can still do what he loves. God bless Blackie... wishing you many more healthy, happy and ROCKIN years.-Milena

I'm pumped wow I had no idea. Friggen love old WASP this was an awesome album

Das absolute Hammer Video und super Sound 💥⚡⚡✨🎸

Blackie…, „Iron“-Mike, Doug....!! W.A.S.P. FOREVER...!!!!!!!! 👍🤘

They literally made a song about this. How artist would get 5 or 6 % from their music. It WAS insane.

Wonderful man !! Great for you ,Blackie !! Blackie Lawless , , ,He is just The Greatest Metal Man .

Aaaaàahh!!!! W.A.S.P. the best! Blackie Lawless, Thanks for your deal, man!

pure gold

Yes kids I saw them on the Last Command tour open up for Kiss! Excellent concert which was my first and with my best friend

I Love It.

A very good piece of work musicly and visual Blackie Lawless had put a lot of effort and thought into it 😊

I have enjoy Wasp now 30 years and never tired. Blackie and Chris are awesome!

Great Job....Come Back To Indy On This Tour Guys, You Rocked The Vogue...Neon God Tour, Front Row....Blackie I one of my favorite lyricist ever!!! Great job on the word play, very intelligent!!! Happy It Finally Released!!!

Watched the movie from the reidolized version during a cold night just before Xmas, it's been quite a surreal experience. I grew up listening to the original version which I do prefer, but Blackie is always the best!

Can we not dwell on the altered lyrics and appreciate the fact that this song has been given an amazing new breath of life? The new album is absolutely incredible!!!

One of the best song of WASP!

W.A.S.P. are an unrelenting band of awesome!

Honestly, I hate the altered lyrics. It's not that they're bad, it's just I'm so use to the original that this version sounds a bit off to me. I'm ecstatic as fuck that there is a clean version of this song with such great quality that is also the "new version" though because it gives me a chance to play it on my radio show and talk a bit about this records anniversary... So I mean, at least it's radio friendly!

Drumming Is amazing on this one

I made a comment just the other night when a fellow FB poster put a pic of a new WASP album on there. I said, WHOA!!! Haven't heard that one yet but, in my opinion is the best metal album ever done by WASP was The Headless Children. I was mistaken. I was thinking about The Crimson Idol. It's just Blackie Metal straight, hard fast into your soul. Had me back in the 80's. Nothing else could beat it. Blackie makes no mistakes.

Killer w.a.s.p song. 😀👍🤘🎸

Bienvenido a la morgue, espectacular, allí iremos todoooooooooooooosssss

I actually dont mind the changed in lyrics, but when I blasting this and if i decide to choose this one, I will scream the original because I love those lyrics

So fucking epic! One of the most underated band!

Great song 👌

Wasp nunca decepciona 🤘🏻

Live in Earth Day and live in 1992 Donnington!!!! Very fitting, Mike rocked the 2000 version on bass and Doug rocked the 1992 Donnington Version.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I think that Blackie shouldn't have censored himself. No matter where he is now, his life (for better or for worse) is the road that brought him there.

The censored lyrics don't have the same bite as the original but holy shit how does Blackie Lawless' voice still sound so goddamn great?

badass saw it in 92 again last year

I will get this when I can next week

THIS SONG IS SO MINE.....MY SOUL IS BLEEDING

Blackie's voice is just as intense, but evil corporate Charlie that doesnt swear is very saturday morning villainy. Restore the lyrics and holy cow i wouldn't have guessed this was made so many years after

Well this sounds AWESOME!! Way better than i was expecting!

I've been a fan for over 35 years... First time seeing this..... I could have done 1000% better in my sleep..... Not what I envisioned....😢

Epic

Many years have passed, but that change at 3:43 still gives me goose bumps. What a brilliant masterpiece this album was and how sadly unknown it is among the average rock listener. Anyway, there are some things that sound worse in this new version. The lyrics, as expected, have succumbed to the woke virus that is everywhere these days and had to be changed. The tom roll at 3:58 sounds much cleaner in the original version. I guess the years don't pass in vain and although Frankie Banali is a true BEAST there are some things that are difficult to repeat, and in the original version he did it just perfect. The solo at 5:49 is definitely much better in the original version, as a certain amount of Wah was used in the bendings, making it much more characterful and aggressive, not to mention that the fade out is infinitely better, making it gradually fade into the background. The new version sounds neater but definitely less exciting.

wow...no word.....WOW😁

People wanted the crimson idol back, how they’re butthurt because of “lyrics”? This is killer! 🔥

He owns the intellectual property of the song, he can do what he likes. Still a big fan

Long live the King of Mercy

Charlie is still riding the chainsaw in 2019

One of the best songs ever written, they couldn't write other songs as good as this. Oh and needless intro. Interestingly, this Charlie guy angered Blackie enough to make him write a masterpiece.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie to Jonathon: O.K. boy now here's your deal Will you gamble your life? Sign right here on the dotted line It's the one you've waited for all of your life Jonathon to Charlie: Ah - will it feed my hunger If I swallow lies right down my throat? Or will it choke me till I'm raw? And tomorrow when I'm gone Will they whore my image on? I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave Jonathon: Murders, murders in the new morgue Murders, murders in the new morgue See old Charlie and the platinum armys Making me their boy Murders, murders in the new morgue Murders, murders in the new morgue He'll make ya scream for the cash machine Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue Charlie to Jonathon: We'll sell your flesh by the pound you'll go A whore of wrath just like me We'll sell ya wholesale, we'll sell your soul Strap on your sixstring and feed our machine Jonathon to Charlie: Ah - will it feed my hunger If I swallow lies right down my throat? Or will it choke me till I'm raw? And tomorrow when I'm gone Will they whore my image on? I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave Charlie to Jonathon: Welcome to the morgue boy Where the music comes to die Welcome to the morgue son I'll cut your throat just to stay alive Ah, trust me boy I won't steer you wrong If you trust me son You won't last very long Charlie to Jonathon: I'm the president of showbiz, my name is Charlie I'm a cocksucking asshole, that's what they call me Here from my Hollywood tower I rule I'm lying motherfucker, the chainsaw's my tool The new morgue's our factory, to grease our lies Our machine is hungry, it needs your life Don't mind the faggots, and the ruthless scum Before we're done, son we'll make you one I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart I'm the tin man, But I'll make you a star I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart I'm the tin man, but i'll make me the star

my first live concert was WASP in the mid 80's in Cascais. Portugal, man i got seriously stoned !!!! memories.....

эта песня--настоящий шедевр...одна из лучших у этой команды--и на все времена

People change, perspectives change...lyrics change... the world has changed. This is glorious - and hoping for a US tour...Thank you for posting this, Napalm!

Epic.

Great!!!

MUITO, MUITO BOM, É ÓTIMO !

Nice job

Classic Rifts are awesome

just not as thick!! Crunch!! Sound, still bad ass!!❤👍

Супер!!! Это на века!!!

\m/ W.A.S.P. \m/ ROCK ON!!!!!!!

If it was the only version I'd ever heard, I'd love it but the original is so much better

Cool 😎 song

NO MAMES WEY QUE PINCHE ROLOTA TAN MÁS CHINGONAAA!!

Sonzera muito top

No idea why this songs isn't on the top list for WASP. Great storytelling, deep meaning lyrics, amazing solo & chorus, etc. I'm not a WASP fan but this is their only song that wowed me

30th anniversary 🎉🍾🎊🎂🥳

Супер. В Apple Music даже раньше выложили!

Big fan.

Temazo

Damn...... fuckn BANGER!!

Eternal \m/

I wish the video featured the band playing!!

La mejor canción de WASP de toda su discografía.... y paradojicamente, no estaban en aquel momentos dos titanes de la banda como Johnny Rod ni Chris Holmes. Los solos de Bob Kulick en esta canción son de otra galaxia a 3000 años luz....

Classic

Adrenaline exploding
