That's me on bass. I know my own bass lines. This is from the six song demo we recorded at Randy's Magnum Opus rehearsal studio. If you listen carefully, you'll hear walking bass line influences of Muscle of Love and Love Gun. Blackie kept saying 'play simpler, play simpler.' I said 'it's only 3 chords, how much simpler do you want it?"

what is more interesting is that Randy's vocal style is very similar to Blackie's. i guess that's why their harmonies sounded so great. also, that moving bluesy bass is awesome

I love this fuckin´ band!!

Randy can really sing. he was great as back up to Blackie and he does this just as good as him. I have seen Randy Pipers Band live and his voice is very close to Blackies and when he plays the W.A.S.P. song he played on he does a great lead.

Another gem from the archives! Wow, Randy on vox! Pretty good! Too bad Blackie didn't try to get the original line up together to play this album live one more time and celebrate one of the greatest albums in the history of American hard rock and metal.

How cool would it be if Randy Piper and Chris Holmes regroup the original guitar dual attack of wasp recruit Tony Richards back on drums and no other than Johnny Rod himself on bass. That would be an interesting metal experimentation. Pipers inside the Homes of the Widowmaker!

FUCKING AWESOMENESS

eeehh wow!...am a real wasp freak...thank this is mmmmhh very very 80 and pure rock..one word fantastic...

Randy is cool dude meet him at Jaxx

WASP FOR EVER Saw them 6 times live. Blackie is a music genius.

Randy was an asset to this band, him and Chris were such an excellent combination. Awesome to see Rik Fox in the comments. Loving these demos.

Never heard this before Randy can sing ok . I've seen a video of blackie and Randy playing accustic guitar together and singing . I think it was in 1979 maybe around circus circus. Thanks for sharing 🤘

Sounds good 👍🏻 as well

Сегодня я впервые услышала как поёт Ренди Пейпер ✌️🙂

Wow excellent metal rules been a fan if Wasp from the start never heard this

I grew up with W.A.S.P. because I'm a child of the 80's but hearing Randy Piper's voice for the first time... Just Awesome!

Очень клёво звучит песня в таком исполнении ! Спасибо Олег за ликбез !

Woow this is really good. Randy could have been a vocalist himself..Love it ❤❤🎶Thanks for sharing 💙

Always surprising us with those gems, oleg. Choruses between randy and blackie were one of the trademarks that wasp were losing due time passing and firing members. Same fact with chris guitar's solos :(

Вот это да! Ренди еще оказывается еще и поет! Довольно прилично, если еще потренироваться, вообще был бы вокалист, не знал. СПАСИБО.🤟

It's a beginning of the band, the sound is rustic but energic and Randy is also a good singer.

Thank you for relasing this on youtube. Randy could easy sing lead 👍 blackies biggest mistake was to let Randy go(so he could play guitar himself)...The awsom twin guitars of Piper/Holmes.... and the harmonies..I do really hope he(blackie) understand,what a HUGE FUCKIN' mistake he made. (I think he does). With "The last command lineup" i'vd easy travel from Norway 🇳🇴 to the states for a concert. Last time blackie & co were here i didn't bother travel 4 miles to hear'em. I stick to the two first albums & Live at the lyceum London ,and live of the GOOOOD memories, of a the best band in the world at the time🤘🤘

This is flipping great!!

Тут Рэнди поет, вау! 😱😍👌👍

Excellent vocals by Piper!

WOW. This is an awesome version. If there was no mentioned this was Randy I would have assumed it was Blackie trying out alternate vocals. I presume Blackie was lead guitar here.

Randy can sing! Blackie should have let him sing lead on this track on the studio version.

The solo sounds infinitely better on the demo. Is that Randy on guitar? Chris hadn't joined yet right?

Да я тоже не так давно услышал голос Ренди Пайпера

Wow, Randy has an awesome voice, pity Blackie didn’t let him lead more often…

I like this version better than the album version

I love to hear anything from this period, the debut lineup made an album that has a special place with me, for me it is all killer and no filler.....I never get sick of this stuff

This was when they wanted to do something like KISS did, were all band members were singing some songs. Would have worked i think.

класс

Randy sounds like Blackie and Dee Snider had a baby trained to sing by Gene Simmons.

What ever was the last straw rod randy leaving wasp! Blackie made a big mistake in letting it get to that point where randy left! I can just image the music they could of made going on into the future!!!! Space ace Ron⚡️⚡️⚡️

Wasn't Don Costa in the band during this time or was he already with Ozzy?

Offcourse BLACKIE better but...I guess its so nice.

Hold on....isn't this a version of The Runaways' 'School Days' released in 1976? Same title with spelling modification, with 'School Days' been called out in the chorus even.
