Considering what Chris Holmes has been through in the last few years it's amazing he is up there in the heat and humidity rocking out. I'm happy for him and the band. Great job to all.
He does! No pedals. Just a small rack on top of one of the cabinets that maybe had a processor of some kind but it sounded just like his classic tone from Live in the Raw.
For sure.And was the wildest dude on stage I ever saw.Had to wear catchers gear so he wouldn't hurt himself or knock out his own teeth! FUCKING METAL! 🤘
so so awesome to see the mad guitarman shredding again, loved him in W*A*S*P* them solos are so melodic, none of this 100 mph shredding jerking off nonsense, and holy cow what a voice on that singer, Blackie aint easy to cover
Transposing chords after a string break just IS rock and roll. This is brilliant, and the US I lucky to still have guys like this playing balls out classics
*It's absolutely amazing that he is still doing what he loves!! He shouldn't even be here!! He is a definitely a hard animal to kill!! I say that because of his addictions he's battled over the years. A very good friend of mine has said the exact same thing to me.. And it's tattooed on my arm... "Hard Animal to Kill." Chris Holmes will always be a legend!! Keep Rockin'!!* 🤘🏼😆
I walked on stage wearing jeans and a t-shirt but due to having no canopy because of the storm the day before I had to dress in my ''beach'' wear, the sun also dried my throat out.
Dude in the Budweiser jumper is killin it! hell yeah, anyone who can go up there w/Chris and belt out Blackies vocals from the 80s and sound that close? huge round of applause 🤘🤘👋👋
That was cool. Glad to see Chris back out there and with a good band. Glad he has a singer again and plays guitar. Funny how he put on a Les Paul. He told me once, "Rob, you know why I don't play a Les Paul?" "Because it looks too small and rediculous on me." LOL Way to Rock!
I've never seen Holmes use a Les Paul in all the live performances of his I've watched. He's been a faithful Jackson player for most of his career from what I've seen. If that was someone else's axe, he owned it for the end of that song. Still one of the best in my opinion. Thanks for posting, hope you had a great cruise. I was there in 12 & 14.
He definitely did! I saw him at the airport a few days later and he only had the one Jackson. He kept the Les Paul for the remaining three or four songs of the set. Definitely the highlight of the cruise. Blew me away how great the were and how good of spirits Chris was in. He was so friendly the few times I talked to him and seemed really humbled at the accolades he received the entire time. We even cheered him as he past us in the airport chanting “Mean Man…Mean Man” and the smile on his face was priceless. I was on the 2014 cruise also! This was my first since.
His name is Ollie from a London band called Wicked Jackels. It was blazing hot out there during this show. They dressed more like you would expect at their second show inside
@@robintaylor485 Go watch "Decline of Western Civilization Part 2"; it was a joke, albeit an obscure one for people who are aware of Chris' famous antics which he himself has parodied
Legitimately straight forward rock n roll. If the singer was dressed right they would have gotten more praise. I appreciate his guitar tone. He always sounds like himself and that is a good thing. Rock on wild man!
Hey Chris, glad to see you back man. Just awesome. Unfortunately the doctor did too good of a job and now we have to listen to your crappy singing! Just bustin your balls man I love you.!!!! Hope we meet up someday. Someone around here has to be a badass right!!
Blackie must be loving this lmaooooo He’s probably ripping his hair out and snorting his coke wondering how this band really sounds like WASP and not the Wasp imitators who use backing and vocal tracks lol😂
Saw these guys a few months ago... Ended up on stage singing highway to hell with them 🤘😂 Was a great night... I'd rather see them than Blackie 'godfodder$$$' Lawless
Hell yea! That is awesome. Im in Dallas and missed out on seeing WASP here because the venue oversold tickets by almost 600 and it was shut down just before WASP was supposed to start. Dont even feel bad now because I think this was a truer and more real WASP performance than I would have gotten seeing Blackie. Chris freaking rocked!
You are on some shit drugs or you are deaf. Seriously. BTW I am glad you like it, to me it’s awful but what do I know. I have over 20 friends in famous metal bands but again what do I know
Chris never stops. He’s been clean and beat cancer. Dude is humble as the day is long. Beautiful human
Considering what Chris Holmes has been through in the last few years it's amazing he is up there in the heat and humidity rocking out. I'm happy for him and the band. Great job to all.
Agree 100%
Singer deserves extra points for holding everything together for this set
U saw that too
Explain please
Yeah, but he didn’t sing the high choruses for Love Machine.
@@deansternberg2265 - that singer BLOWS 🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely
Chris the true Wild child of Metal, Great to see him still kicking ass and wanting to be somebody.🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Oh,...my.
Sooooo clever.
LET'SROCK.
I dont think he gives one fk about "being somebody" :)
and yeah, I get the reference
Thank God Chris is Back Mean Man Love it Brother !!!!!!!!! Fuck Cancer !!!!!
Chris still has that AMAZING TONE!
He does! No pedals. Just a small rack on top of one of the cabinets that maybe had a processor of some kind but it sounded just like his classic tone from Live in the Raw.
For sure.And was the wildest dude on stage I ever saw.Had to wear catchers gear so he wouldn't hurt himself or knock out his own teeth!
FUCKING METAL! 🤘
Hey Chris good to see ya alive and kicking ass!
This is a great song. So glad to see Chris rocking out. Fan since ‘84.
Fan since 84? What was the last WASP Album you bought? 🤔
They have 15 albums, I have them all cause I didn't abandoned them after the 80's like most people. You?
Chris Holmes is fucking legend ,glad to see he is doing the best thing ,,,WASP forever and mean man !!!!
Chris still kicks ass!!!
I’d love to see a US club tour!!
There's no money in it
HELL YEAH..on your knees. This was high energy..Chris is awesome , as well as his band. He still has his chops., Been a fan since 84.
They sound great!
Chris Holmes is looking good and sounding amazing!
Chris is an absolute legend!
Look how happy Chris is ! Fuck yeah man
so so awesome to see the mad guitarman shredding again, loved him in W*A*S*P* them solos are so melodic, none of this 100 mph shredding jerking off nonsense, and holy cow what a voice on that singer, Blackie aint easy to cover
Dude this singer is trash
Great to see you Chris!
Transposing chords after a string break just IS rock and roll. This is brilliant, and the US I lucky to still have guys like this playing balls out classics
Awesome. Great player, great guy.
Good to see Mr. Holmes still doin it..
I thought the guy was dead but still rockin.. 🙂
Me too!!! LOL Keep rocking till the grave & beyond
Thank you for this upload my brother.
Chris is a badass and he's living proof that you can spit in the face of cancer. HAIL 🤘🤘🤘
Great to see Chris alive and happy !!! Love Chris tone
Wow!!! Freakin awesome.....(and no backing tapes 🥳....sorry Blackie, had to say it 🤪).
Chris looks great and sounds great. Leader singer is solid too!
Great job fellas!!!
Wish I was there! Sounds great loved the vocals!
Wow I'm very impressed. Nice. I dig this
Chris is looking and sounding good here.
Never expected to see Chris rock out again and having a good time. The energie is really nice! The rest is just details.
I love how they having fun. No bs outfits etc. just party in party clothes and have fun !!! 😊
*It's absolutely amazing that he is still doing what he loves!! He shouldn't even be here!! He is a definitely a hard animal to kill!!

Chris is a f****** Stone. 🙏
Glad to see Chris & the boys rockin' out! Stay healthy & God Bless.
Sounding better than the current W.A.S.P line up IMO 🤘
at least they're actually playing....no bullshit.
No
WASP sounded ace when I saw them a few weeks ago. Mind,the backing tracks help!!!
That's not possible. The current W. A. S. P. sound just exactly like the CDs, literally... 😂😂
I think the singer did a pretty good job and who cares what they dress like they're on a cruise ship, have fun.
I walked on stage wearing jeans and a t-shirt but due to having no canopy because of the storm the day before I had to dress in my ''beach'' wear, the sun also dried my throat out.
Chris is sounding and looking good.
Blackie is the voice of W.A.S.P., but Chris is the sound.
how true, and the spirit (in both senses of the word)
Chris Holmes is the real deal.
CHRIS HOLMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude in the Budweiser jumper is killin it! hell yeah, anyone who can go up there w/Chris and belt out Blackies vocals from the 80s and sound that close? huge round of applause 🤘🤘👋👋
Holmes has the killer tone!!!
Chris Holmes absolutely killed it on the Pool Stage!
Sounds great!!!!!
Looking and sounding well brother Chris!
Chris was WASP! I've seen them many times in Los Angeles/Hollywierd back in the early 80's! Keep kicking ass Chris!!
Fantastic
Not bad. Welcome back Chris.
I was there too. Greats show....great cruise!
Keep rocking hard Chris !
Great to see him doing well!
The real deal, no tapes like Blackie
Blackie is a covert narcissist
That was cool. Glad to see Chris back out there and with a good band. Glad he has a singer again and plays guitar. Funny how he put on a Les Paul. He told me once, "Rob, you know why I don't play a Les Paul?" "Because it looks too small and rediculous on me." LOL Way to Rock!
Chris looks great!
Man I love the mean man, he is looking and sounding great
Hellyeah, Chris!!!! Fuck yeah! You guys look and sound great!
Chris is the captain of that ship.
The first thing he said when he went up to the mic was….”ABANDON SHIP!” Haha
@@JimmyAdcock Lol
Man that singer !
Chris Still Kicks 🦵 Ass I don’t care what Blackie says. We the fans rule. Not him…
Hell yeah!!!
I've never seen Holmes use a Les Paul in all the live performances of his I've watched. He's been a faithful Jackson player for most of his career from what I've seen.

8:45 guitar switch. W.A.S.P. wouldn't have to worry about that since it's all tracked!
😂
Chris fucking rules!!
the man!!!!!!!!!!! till the flame burns out my friend. peace
Mean man still sounding good n rockin,, alright gigadeee goo
We Love you Chris Man this why he's the Legend He is
Since 1973 in was just our beloved Edward Vanhalen back then
And Chris's is outstanding alot of you all on that hating shit
Chris Holmes Fucking Rules!!🤘
Love me some "Happy Camper".
Great music! Glad this guy hasn’t died from alcohol poisoning!
I'd watch this all day long over Blackie's DAT tape show. All. Day. Long.
He should call his band Chris Holmes W.A.S.P.
Do you by chance have the entire show?! This is AMAZING!
Who's the guy wearing his pajamas on stage?????? LOL!!!!!!
His name is Ollie from a London band called Wicked Jackels. It was blazing hot out there during this show. They dressed more like you would expect at their second show inside
😂😅😅
Live Rock and Roll!! No tracks like Blackie uses…. Backing tracks SUCK! I wanna hear live music, mistakes, warts and all!! You ROCK Chris 🎸
Did Chris get in the pool after the show and guzzle vodka?
*_He's sober._*
No lol did you
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
These guys don’t even know what you’re talking about. 😂 Epic

Can't get any better, sorry blackie, Chris blew your ass away 😂
No way man... Blackie sounds incredible still. Search the recent shows he's do e her on the tube.

This sucks play your own music.....wasp you are not....move on Blackie doesn't need you....

Who was scanning the crowd looking for Jason and Johnny?
Nice LIVE band. Sloppy but hella fun. Great to see Chris in good health.
Hey Chris, glad to see you back man. Just awesome. Unfortunately the doctor did too good of a job and now we have to listen to your crappy singing! Just bustin your balls man I love you.!!!! Hope we meet up someday. Someone around here has to be a badass right!!
NICE DRESS
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Give that singer a bud light
Sounds a hell of alot better than my video
I'm about to fall off my chair .
I have to look it up.
Haven't seen Ted in 25 + yrs.
But .. that scream & those GLASSES. ?!
Ted who?🤭
@@jeffhodge7272
It's totally not .
Its a guy named Oliver from Wicked Jackels.
,, Ted .. "Bullet"
he was in a band called Thunderhead .
Blackie must be loving this lmaooooo He’s probably ripping his hair out and snorting his coke wondering how this band really sounds like WASP and not the Wasp imitators who use backing and vocal tracks lol😂
awesome versions, the singer is pretty good, anyone else want to try to top this off?? Blackie is still
WASP, but Holmes will always be the sound!
Hell yeah !!! \,,/,
Chris keep on Rockin..kick that cancers as-you´re WASP and nothin else could change it for me-Mean Man is that one i need too see in Germany!
Nice job--who's singing? Chris has someone finally.
It's good to see The Mean Man, but it was always Blackie that guided him...now there is non...and it shows. Still love this Rock&Roll Animal!
Hell yeah and no backing tapes keeping the shit real
The singer’s choice of attire is my only complaint.
It was blazing hot out there. They wore attire more like you’d expect at their indoor show a few days later
@@JimmyAdcock It’s not that. I’ve just seen a lot of spring dresses with that cut.
no shit, he must be gay wanting to wear Bud outfit lol
I tuned out cause of the Bud Dress F off
On you knees is my favorite WASP tune
Lo ve !!!
Dam good to see him still here 👍 keep on rocking and rolling Chris
I see he dressed up for the event! lol. The singer is doing a great job! Who is he?
Hes from a London band called The Wicked Jackals
Oh YES.... THE BADDEST GUITAREST EVER. I MEAN EVER TO PRESENCE THE STAGE OF HEAVY METAL....
no backing tapes needed. F#cking legend
Not that this guys vocals are amazing, but way better than when Chris was trying to do vocals.
Very True
Saw these guys a few months ago... Ended up on stage singing highway to hell with them 🤘😂
Was a great night... I'd rather see them than Blackie 'godfodder$$$' Lawless

Dont even feel bad now because I think this was a truer and more real WASP performance than I would have gotten seeing Blackie. Chris freaking rocked!
Sounds more classic WASP than Blackie's band. The singer is spot on
Whole band is great who are the drummer lead singer and bass player
You are on some shit drugs or you are deaf. Seriously. BTW I am glad you like it, to me it’s awful but what do I know. I have over 20 friends in famous metal bands but again what do I know
