Dude made the whole frontman/bassist dynamic look cool. Wasnt too many singer/bass players in those days. The look just fit him well

At least Blackie had the balls to admit that EVERY musician borrows at least something from those before them but continued to say that unless you bring something of your own to the dance and maintain it, you'll not make it. But he should NEVER have gotten rid of that line-up. Chris Holmes had major drinking problems but Steve Riley was bad-ass and had no issues.

When they first came out Blackie was going for a Gene Simmons "shock vibe". As WASPs music later became more mainstream it seems Blackie decided a Paul Stanley "flamboyant vibe" was in order. Through all the member changes he also probably figured he should just be on rhythm guitar. They were my first concert in '84 opening for Maiden. I was 10 yrs old.

More metal than metal! There were a lot of great LA rock and metal bands that were lumped in with the glam bands simply because of the time and place. But W.A.S.P. certainly was the best. It's just too bad Steve, I mean Blackie, tends to let his ego get the best of him.

I was at this gig at the Lyceum (which now rather sadly hosts The Lion King) and it was a fantastic gig. WASP at the time were what say, Machine Head or Trivium are now, ie, very hot. Blackie was at his best, vocals shredding the air like someone had loosed a bandsaw and it was kicking like a mule. I later got to know Blackie well. He's a very very intelligent man and a consumate performer.

(Our parents had fled the soviet in 1944 so the know about real evil) and WASP for them was only "a healthy American attitude". God bless my parents!!!
