Have it on vinyl and I haven’t listen to it in probably 30 years. Doing it right now. Thanks for the reminder. Edit: Tony Thompson kind of looks like Pilson on the back cover. Lol.

That first WASP record was an absolute fucking monster. There aint a bad track on it. All killer-no filler. Among the greatest Metal band debut records of all time. Nobody can ever take that way from Tony

The change did Great White a lot of good. One of the best rock bands from the 80s. Wasn't too much into them until I started teaching a lot of their songs. Great guitar playing from Kendall. His Blues background fit the band perfectly.

I remember reading this punk fanzine called “Dump Your Punk Rock Boyfriend” back in 2008, and there was a few issues all about Tony’s daughter Roczanna Orlando and there was a very specific page where she talked about her dad and WASP. it was a really good, interesting and very heartbreaking read. I loved those zines. Must of read it five times. Hate that I lost them… Anyway. I wanna say the first one about his daughter was called “you broke my fucking heart”. And there is a photo of her on the cover making a sad face. I Can’t remember the issue number(s), but there was two or three in that story arch. Each issue had a title, and I am pretty sure that was the name of the first one. Pretty interesting read if you can find it.

Great White's self titled debut album in my opinion is a phenomenal album. Easily my favorite Great White album ever. Also their EP On Your Knees is phenomenal as well.

The thing with WASP that bothered me throughout their career is, every single time I got used to someone the next thing you know theres a new guy. That band should have been Tony Richards, Johnny Rod, Chris Holmes and Blackie

I thought Tony Richards did a great job on the self titled W.A.S.P. album. I had heard he got into drugs in a bad way but I'm still very surprised he hasn't turned up in another band that is relatively popular and successful. Based on his skills he deserves it!

Seems like when you supposedly grow up and become a big boy that you would stop talking shit about each other. Everybody needs to look at what they have and be appreciative. Stop pointing fingers at somebody else for not being superior as you think you are… I’m more of a metal fan, but great white kicked some serious ass back in the day!
