We were there, this was back in 85' at Irvine Meadows in SoCal, WASP was opening for IRON MAIDEN, if ya look at the vid close, you can see the POWERSLAVE graphics off to the sides on the speaker cabs....Holy shit killer memories!!

Remember when WASP hit the stage and peeps from the lawn came over the wall and everyone started jumping over the seats?...Me and my buddy started jumping and ended up in like the 12th row

84 maybe 85, Reunion arena, Dallas Texas. My first concert, fourteen or fifteen years old,ticket cost $14.50 lower balcony near the stage. I didn’t know a thing about WASP at the time but man they blew me away. The main thing I remember about that show was this song and the three of them on their little boxes at the edge of the stage fucking hammering. It was , for me , one of those great rock n roll moments. I left a WASP fan for sure. Unfortunately I only got to see them two more times, it would have been three but the show was shut down due to overcrowding. This is the definitive line up for me, Randy and Blackie’s voices worked so well together.

Blackie pushed Randy Piper out of the band because he wanted to switch from bass to guitar also he did try out and did some work with Alice Cooper but he went with Kane Roberts instead

@pdk25 4 жыл бұрын

@@godwillguideme.3773 Randy wasn't straight up fired. Randy owned a recording studio and he felt he was neglecting his time there during his tour for WASP second album. He and Blackie made a agreement that he'd leave after the tour. Blackie wanted to play the guitar again so he was fine about the situation. Randy was one of the few that actually had a good relationship with Blackie. Randy was the lead guitarist for Circus Circus (pre WASP) and was the lead guitar for WASP back when Rick Fox played bass.

@@patr70 Los Angeles was 2nd only to England when it came to great Metal bands. Most don't realize that alot of the "glam bands" weren't from Hollywood, like Poison was from Pennsylvania, Winger from New York etc. So many REAL metal bands came from Hollywood or the surrounding areas. Slayer is from Southern California, Metallica of course. A great band that never made it big Armored Saint was from here Metal Church and Exodus from the bay area. Van Halen of course Randy Rhoads the list goes on and on.
