I'm glad there are fans watching in 2020! I saw them open for Kiss in the mid 80's. I was impressed by their show and enjoyed it more than the headliner. \m/
Thanks for this gem. Nice to hear the guys tearing it up like a freight train! Chris and Blackie rule. Hate to hear Chris has cancer. He is an awesome rock star! Get better Chris.
Blackie is a very talented man and knows his audience and how to sell his image...but I can't help but wonder if at any point during this show, he wished was wearing different pants.
Like, technically, is that even pants lol 😂 Looks like nylon stocks attached to leather underwear... Hahaha... You gotta have big balls to wear that shit onstage 🤘🤙

Крис Холмс, красавчик, дай Бог ему, крепкого здоровье 🖐👌🖐✌Жаль, что у них с Блэки произошли разногласия. Хотел бы я, что бы группа восоединилась, в том составе что была 80х, но у вы это не возможно. Всем добра, здоровье, мира и позитива. С удовольствием, до сих пор слушаю и W.A.S.P. и Криса Холмса. Кто читает мою писанину в 2024 конец Августа, всем привет👌🖐✌✌👌🖐✨🎆🇺🇸🍻
IMO...Their is no doubt, that they were better with the duo of Randy Piper and Chris Holmes playing guitar and Blackie on bass. Blackie's guitar skills aren't all that he claims. Maybe in the studio, but live Randy Piper was better. Blackie always pounded the fuck out of those tunes live. I really respected his bass playing back when they started out. The fact that he could sing those songs live and sound just like the studio recordings was awesome. It just seems like he doesn't do as good of a job singing and playing guitar, as he did playing them on bass. Randy and Chris played a much tighter set and even hammered drunk Chris' solos were killer. Blackie's leads sound like a fucking out of key/tune.. train wreck. Other than that, this is probably the heaviest sounding live W.A.S.P. show that I've seen to date. Its a little rough around the edges, but its raw af and i wouldnt want it any other way! Through a good system, its got some really decent low end, for most of the show. The old shows with Piper just seemed a lot tighter and the guitars sounded much thicker with Blackie pounding out the bass lines. On another note, I highly recommend for anybody who's never seen the era of W.A.S.P. with Johnny Rod on bass, to check that shit out. Johnny was a madman on the stage and the backup vocals were excellent, during those years. W.A.S.P. never let us fans down live, no matter who was in the lineup. So, don't take what I said above as a total insult to Blackie. Its just my opinion from being a fan from the beginning, up till now. W.A.S.P. has always been energetic and played consistent great sets of music live, from all of their albums. From the vocals to the guitar playing, they're a pretty damn incredible band live. Considering they moved around like they were on a constant rampage, and they always sound like W.A.S.P. . Even if you close your eyes, you know its W.A.S.P. 100%. I have to give thanks to Blackie and Chris for giving all of us fans consistently badass music. Even on the records that didn't do to well, there's always a few killer songs unlike anything we'd ever heard. Thanks, for the killer video and interview!
I never bothered with WASP before and I thought they were a gimmick with no substance but boy I couldn't have been more wrong. Since I actually sat down and gave their music a listen I've become a big fan of theirs. Now I'm so lucky I did just that. Their old and new and in between tunes are hard and complexed I can't wait to hear what is next.
I remember Blackie in 1993, in an interview with Headbanger's Ball, after the release of The Crimson Idol where he said "I will never make record with Chris Holmes again" 3-4 years later here he is, making two records. I saw them on the Helldorado tour in Sweden, it wa great. Forward 10 years, Blackie says " I won't play f*ck like a beast" (because of religious reasons). Forward 7 years and now we hear that *F*ck like a beast" is going to be on the tour. Well. what's up with that? Marketing is a hell of a drug...
@@wyldchyld2383 Just watched the House Of Blues show and I must say it was refreshing! If the people like what you play, then play that shit. Easy as that. 😉
They were for songs like Killahead. But lately blackie and doug blair i think hes called got exposed for lip syncing lately mainly on crimson Idol songs
Yeah I was just watching them in 85. I could tell the cymbals on the drum kit were live. But I caught all of em fucking up being a lil off sync. Was t the video either I'm a musician. I know a lotta bands have done it for years, buuut looks like wasp really relied on them heavily!!
Major W.A.S.P. fan since '85's The Last Command and up til the KFD tour, I was all in. They killed defenseless, innocent pigs each night. I could no longer uphold them and to this day, it tarnished the love I had for them. I will never be able to shrug that off.
Probably gonna get lynched for this, I feel KFD was to W.A.S.P. basically what Hot Space was to to Queen. Not great, but not completely unbearable... There is are some gems scattered about on both albums, but the rest is just... Cringe. I love both bands immensely and tip my hat to them (and other artists, since we're on the subject) for having the balls to get out in front of the younger crowds and reach out to them by attempting be more relevant to the timeframe, but ultimately, compared to the rest of their works, it's just... "Eh, this era feels more like a musical midlife crisis to me, but I'll still give it a listen and tap my toes when the mood suits me", or background noise (that I won't skip or turn off) while I'm milling about doing other stuff. Still an excellent interview from our Master Lawless, though now contradictory to his current standings... But, hey! People change. That's life. That all being said, WHY is neither this nor Still Not Black Enough on Spotify??? ESPECIALLY the latter??? I would KILL for a re-release and stream including ALL the bonus tracks!
With Blackie it's all about theatre and business. Chris well he is Rock! But it does give the impression Chris has been gagged and not to open his mouth and Blackie saying you have one more chance, make or say the wrong thing and you are out again!
Yeah, Blackie's pretty outspoken, but he's always viewed W.A.S.P as HIS band, and he's always been the main creative force behind the songwriting, as well as the live show imagery and theatrics. Chris Holmes contributed some cool lead guitar work, but if you need proof that Blackie was the force behind W.A.S.P's songs, select any of Chris Holmes' solo project songs, hit play and prepare for the cringe....
I wonder why he ever got back together with Blackie after obviously being screwed up with all his song royalties with some shady contract...which continued after they got back together. He never got a penny, that what he claims.
У Криса жутко не строит гитара, и он похоже этого не слышал. Вообще я думал он хороший гитарист, а как оказывается новичковый уровень, все эти нестроевичи, недотяжки в бендах, в целом грязная игра...
Да уж - не Крис Бродерик)) Но - Крис Холмс как композитор - делал очень сочные соло и да - используя все те же "недотяжечки" в т.ч. - как свою фишку(это слышно на всех лайвах, где он играл )). Дуг Блейр в этом плане очень беден - безвкусица сплошная... (и да - технически он тоже не фонтан). Даже Даррел Робертс оставил много интересного в плане соло - когда был в группе... так что - ИМХО - Блэйр слабейший соло гитарист из тех - кто играли с Блэки. ЗЫ - ничего подобного крутейшего соло Sleeping in the Fire образца 1987 LitR не сделал ни Робертс - ни Блэйр))) в этом и есть талант композитора
W.A.S.P should have been bigger than they were.
I'm glad there are fans watching in 2020! I saw them open for Kiss in the mid 80's. I was impressed by their show and enjoyed it more than the headliner. \m/
Chris Holmes is one of my favourite guitar players.
Thanks for this gem. Nice to hear the guys tearing it up like a freight train! Chris and Blackie rule. Hate to hear Chris has cancer. He is an awesome rock star! Get better Chris.
The sheer energy they're putting out is incredible 🤯
Chris was a very talented & overlooked guitarist. I love him
Blackie is a very talented man and knows his audience and how to sell his image...but I can't help but wonder if at any point during this show, he wished was wearing different pants.
Word.
Honestly, this may have been the compromise that got him to agree to wear ANY pants.....
Like, technically, is that even pants lol 😂 Looks like nylon stocks attached to leather underwear... Hahaha... You gotta have big balls to wear that shit onstage 🤘🤙
@@roopwind LMAO 🤘😂
I want the pants..
Chris Holmes I've had the great pleasure of meeting him he's a great guy God Bless Chris
You can just see the love coming off of Chris during the interview.
I stepped on his foot once and he wanted to show me some love
LMAO! :D

i dont really notice a difference but ok
@@wingedassassin9999 his speaking voice is about 3 octaves lower than his singing voice. Lol Can you not detect the slightest bit of difference there?
It's the same with Axl Rose for example.

He is doing what the fans want. Besides watching the clip from 10/28/22 he doesnt sing the chorus part he lets the audience sing that part
@@wyldchyld2383 Just watched the House Of Blues show and I must say it was refreshing! If the people like what you play, then play that shit. Easy as that. 😉
@@wyldchyld2383 He doesn't need to sing..he has backing tracks
Wasp самая офигенская рок группа из всех и по сей день Golgofa это ваше шедеврально
I'm thinking some of Blackie's lead vocals are pre recorded. I know they use recorded backing vocals as I've seen it myself. Always loved W.A.S.P.
They were for songs like Killahead. But lately blackie and doug blair i think hes called got exposed for lip syncing lately mainly on crimson Idol songs

Chris looks blazed as hell.
A guy who just loves to hear himself talk.
Hah Chris in interviews, always great - no matter if he says something or not
He looks coked tf out in that interview ahaha!!
Shakin Stevens looking good🤘
Blackie why do you point to Mike when he is singing the backin vocals. Point to the tape machine back-stage.
Major W.A.S.P. fan since '85's The Last Command and up til the KFD tour, I was all in. They killed defenseless, innocent pigs each night. I could no longer uphold them and to this day, it tarnished the love I had for them. I will never be able to shrug that off.
all was from the supermarket...
The pigs were real? All the videos are hard to see
They weren't real pigs
Stage props, not actual pigs. Do you really think venues would allow this?
Forgot how awesome Mr. Lawless' voice was.
Blackie's voice: The best.
Blackie's pants: The worst.
hahaha

Now I understand why Chris was so fed up with Blackie. . . Blackie takes over the interview and Chris doesn't get a word in edgewise. . .
genau

Chris Holmes got robbed by black is lawless
Chris never had that much to say and relinquished control to Blackie. Blackie knows how to speak well.
Keyword: Squats!
Well you made that mistake Blackie. You now refuse to play certain WASP songs. Sad.
Blackies greed destroyed the lineup, his ego permanently ruined the band.
Yes and Yes.
Exactamungo
No question. He doesn’t want to pay people nor be overshadowed, so the original lineup will never see the light of day again.
The drummer had to look at blackies ass the whole show lol😂gross
San Antonio!

Они тут в сапогах странно, а я когда-то вроде их в том году в кедах видела 🐥.

chris thinking when will i get to talk
Every time I see their interviews from that period,I shout: Blackie,WTF??? Let Chris speak up !!
Lol 😆 bloody hell Blackie never go back to these day's of showing off your arse good sound though 👍
Blackie slamming Bono... great!
Когда интервью мне понравилось как у Черномырдина волосы за уши были 🐣.
Love me some W.A.S.P. but over the years I’ve lost all respect for Blackie.
Blackie did't let Chris tell any word. It seems like there was just one opinion. Sorry for my English
You see traces of M MANSON ??
Who is that playing bass?! It's a chick right?
No it's a guy,Mike Duda still their bassist to this day.

Fooled me too.

Looks like he's not 100%...
@@janvare the money, the life, to have purpose. Nobody can imagine Chris Holmes doing anything but being a rocker, and neither can he.

Who's the chick on the other guitar?
This show is terrible, Blackie needs Piper to fill out the vocals , he could never do it alone.
Whether Blackie likes it or not ... he needs Chris back, besides lip syncing nowadays has pretty much put a tombstone on his performance quality.
German is the angriest-sounding language on the planet.
Haha you can tell Chris wasn't allow to speak and poor guy you can tell he wants so much but has to shut up right away.
this was poorly edited
