To me, Randy was a big part of WASP. They were never really the same once he was gone.

Had the posters when I was 11. For 38 years I've thought those were real pipes. 😄 I always thought Randy was the coolest cat in WASP back in the day.

I saw randy playing this at the lyceum london 1984..

I'm the Tom from that letter! I bought the guitar directly from Randy in 2001 and sold it ten years later in 2011 to the guy in TX mentioned in the video. Seeing this makes me miss it lol.

Wow!!!! I just came across this video. I haven't seen that guitar in nearly 40 years!!!! I worked for B.C. Rich in '83-'84 and remember when that guitar and Blackie's Widow bass were made. The shop was S. El Monte. Brings back a lot of memories of my time there. And, yes, Randy is a good guy,

I saw Wasp open up for Iron Maiden on the Power Slave Tour.

I always thought it was actual pipes. Crazy what an amazing paint job can do to the eyes

wow...80's so uniques....i miss 80's stuff am 53 and a wasp fan till 1984

If the original line up stayed together wasp would have been huge.

Loved the custom 80’s guitars. Piper’s is classic.

My first show 1984, with Iron Maiden an awesome experience at my young age back then.

This is freakin' awesome! for being that old and hand made (before CNC) this is an incredible masterwork seeing it close up.

Now that is a custom guitar. That headstock is crazy AND I thought it was real pipes too. Badass.

W.A.S.P also played in Anaheim at a little club called Radio City when I saw them as a kid. The club was on Ball Road in Anaheim. The club was like the size of a dive bar but a tad bigger. Saw many top bands in there.

What a talent to paint like that!

The Pipes baby !!! Yeah!! Classic W.A.S.P

Such a badass guitar… went great with his pipe jet pack onstage. When Randy left WASP, thought for sure his solo band would be called “Pied Piper” lol… instead it was Animal.

Man that's too cool. Neal Moser Jr. Was a great friend of myself and many others. He had his apartment decorated with oddball bodies he and his dad had made. Cool to see this.

The BC Rich factory was in El Monte.

Love that guitar when I was in high school I did a oil painting of him with his guitar I got a "A" for it🤘💪 And if I ever got a chance to meet him which I probably won't I would offer it to him

I like my traditional shaped guitars/basses for sure but I also love the over the top ones as well. Currently my only bass I own is a 2008 B. C. Rich Warlock bass with the two P-bass style pickups

I loved WASP in the 80s! Cool guitar.

Many years ago a much younger version of myself played a Cammo painted BC Rich Warlock. It was over the top on all levels. I remember the name Screaming Leaming on the back. The guitar played like nothing I'd ever touched, it left an impression on me. Now I know the significance of what it was, and I kick my ASS FOR NOT PAYING THE $800 THE SHOP WANTED. Yeah, a US made BC custom shop guitar, and I didn't buy it. It was probably 1988/87 and the shop was in Decatur Alabama.

Big Thanks for making this video and showing this Iconic Guitar! Wasp has always been one of my favorite bands!!

This is amazing.

That is so cool! I remember seeing it live in Madison Wisconsin back in the day!

One of the coolest guitars i have seen.

Thats so sick. Love that. unreal!

You must play W.A.S.P. on that guitar. It's a moral imperative. 🤟

I met Randy at a guitar show in Ohio super nice guy. I saw that guitar up close it looked pretty much as it is in this video. A friend of mine in Fla owned Chris Holmes Budweiser star and blood drip star. So there are some great WASP guitars in private collections. Back in the early 2000s I was deep into collecting BC Rich, San Dimas Charvels, San Dimas Jackson guitars. Had a few rare Roscoe guitars from the 80s one was Joe Perry's Dr Death guitar which was #1 of only 12 made.

First time I heard these guys was on Sirius XM’s Hair Nation. Pretty tasteful guitar work, pretty outrageous guitar.

Very clever design to make it appear they’re real pipes. Cool.

I love charvel's I miss the '80s damn

I was there when Unknown Hinson attacked Screaming Leamin at that Radio Shack...I screamed "By God,you're KILLING the man" but he he kept at it like some sort of deranged shrew...a grotesque site to behold

Randy piper was approached by Blackie about the next album cover picture. When Randy seen the electric circus cover, he realized it was time to Leave WA.S.P He didn't want to stand in the shadow of Lawless. Blackie was upset when Randy quit the band. Randy is a very underrated Guitarist.

Fantastic guitar

That was awesome 🤟😎I'm a huge W.A.S.P. fan. Thank you for this amazing episode 👏😊

I'm not sure if Screamin' Leemin' did the multicolored crackle paint job on my custom Warlock bass...🤔 However, the *original* 1982 lineup of WASP was Blackie, Randy, myself and Tony. Photos by Don Adkins are out there on the internet. Randy validated it in one of his interviews, so does Chris Holmes.

Most definitely one of the baddest customs out there....Steve vai's flames guitar and of course Mr. King of the cool guitars...Paul Stanley's holograph Hamer Scarab he sported on the heavens on fire video is the coolest looking one of all in my opinion....he also had leopards print bcrich eagle, zebra print flying v which I could never get a look at the headstock to see who's product it was ....think it looked like a Gibson v headstock but the body was more streamline than a gibson...let's not forget the shattered glass ibanez iceman....oh yeah creatures of the night saw him with a yellow/ black zebra print explorer or destroyer....black bc rich mockingbird with 2 rows of large rhinestones....damn he has got some bad ass guitars

I saw this guitar live at least once. Probably 2 or 3 times but those days are a blur 😅

That paint job is INSANE. It has ALWAYS looked like a guitar neck fused to some actual pipes.

I'm seeing WASP in December! Bought tickets like a year ago.

Never been a fan a B.C. rich. I'm a Les Paul guitar player. But I've always wanted this one, or a copy of it, IF They exist. This thing is absolutely awesome 🤘🤘 WASP is one of my favorite band's. Thank you for this video. If I had a 100k sittin around I would definitely offer you that for this.

Oh man, the feedback should be just sick!! Nevermind, I thought they were real pipes at first.

Nice!

looks good!

thats fucking wild

Love it!

I saw WASP in Seattle in 1984-85 with Kiss they Kicked Kisses ass , on our way back to Yakima we ran into the tour bus the Band was eating Breakfast Randy was off by himself in the dark eating by candle light it seemed strange but Blackie was not too friendly with us , it was obvious we where fans as we both had on our new concert shirts personally I lost interest in them after that . just recently started watching vids of Chris who I think got a raw deal from Blackie . just an old mans opinion that is a cool guitar.

What a legend Zimm! Showcasing this rare Bc rich on your channel. What’s next, Lita Fords loco motion Bc rich?

That's sick!

Can you do a video with Randys BC Rich Skull Warlock Guitar?

Cool guitar, probably hard to play leads on but I bet its great for rhythm.

Now I spent the whole day listening to WASP! 🤣🤣🤣

1:31 two in the pink, one in the stink.

Speaking of Swiss Picks, they’re my favorite plectrums. I use the atomic glow in the dark picks. My other favorite is Dragon Heart picks, by C. Whitney Guitars.

Definitely a cool score Pete

Bring in more Star's guitars!!!!!!!!

It would be exhausting playing that. 😀

Fuckin' awesome! I have subscrived! Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹

fuckin W.A.S.P. first tour man!

that was cool!

I’d ❤ to own that guitar !

the dude from five finger death punch owns it i believe

Wow, what a Beauty

This is Nice!!!!!!!!!!! What would be the price of this guitar, if it was put for sale?

The back bottom of that guitar looks like the shocker. Lol🤘

Awesome

Did you ever see Chris Holmes Budweiser 🎸??

Thats insane looking

I'd buy that

I need those pipes to make my barbecue pit so I won't burn my ribeyes

killer

I'd love to have that guitar"'

Magnifique

mano onde tu consegue todas essas guitarras tu comprou na epoca que eles venderam enhhhh

Wow!!!

It makes me kinda sad that Randy had to part with this. If guitars could talk

hey xmas coming up, can i have it 😁

where is his naked lady guitar? that one was as cool as the pipes guitar

I want you to see savatage's Chris Oliva gargoyle guitar

1:27 one in the stink, 2 in the pink.

The Pied Piper.

He had a naked lady guitar also!!!!

Tremolo??

🤘❤️🤘

Id rather Have Chris Holmes Guitar he even did he paint job on it himself Drunk.

I'll pass on that

Can't believe that's a paint job.

Why would Randy sell this?? I guess none of these signature guitars mean anything to these guys

Living proof tonewoods don't matter on a solid body electric guitar. Want to sell that?

I'd rather call this one Fury Road...

I offer 328$!

Letting Randy go was Blackies worst mistake

Blackies ego ruined their early legacy.

The headstock just don't match.

Come on guys. You do not know what you are talking about!!! All of your reviews are so for off.

Amazing

They didn’t screw the tremelo into the pipes because there is no tremolo ha ha

Did @jonmankuta see this video? 🤘🏼
