More W.A.S.P! Rebel In The F.D.G I'm Blind in Texas Babylons burning Headless Children All killer songs, there are just too many to list. Blackie Lawless (Vocalist, guitar player and songwriter)and the gang are absolute legends of the 80s metal scene.
Unfortunately there are recent videos that are apparently edited. I noticed a few comments on a more recent release of Chainsaw Charlie that brought up it was changed so I didn't bother finishing the video.
Gotta admit hair metal holds a lot of nostalgia value for me, for better or worse! I think wasp was one of the bands that got a little more cred among metal heads at least, cuz they weren’t pretty boys 😆
@@ShanLH5 lmao I love old hair metal. Zug Izland is one of my favs. I still listen to Saigon Kick, Mr. Big, Faster Pussycat, Great White and all those old bands.
@@Godspeed1756 sweet!! I made a ‘headbangers ball’ playlist for myself on TH-cam and most of those bands are on it 😊👍🏽 I even found those little musical interludes they’d play when they were going into/ coming back from commercials, I put those in too so it really feels like I’m back in the 80s watching the ball 😆
Part of the L.A metal scene in the 80's, W.A.S.P went the 'shock rock' route rather than be compared to the other hair metal bands at the time. They had a lot of attention from the P.M.R.C and were one of the first groups to have the 'parental advisory' stickers applied to their albums and singles. The acronym has not been confirmed by founder Blackie Lawless as far as I know, but in a song called '95 Nasty' on their 'live in the raw' album during a rant about said PMRC, Lawless states that they are accused that 'We Are Sexual Perverts' which at the time was also considered the acronym as well as the White Anglo one already mentioned in other comments. Thunderhead was from the then highly praised 'Headless children' album where the group focussed more on delivering solid music rather than using 'shock' (blood, raw meat and topless ladies) methods that had gained them the unfavourable attention in the past.
I love that the first WASP song you react to is also one of my absolute favorites. Although to be fair, half of the Headless Children album is that good, and the other half isn't far behind :D Also, you weren't that far off when you compared them to Iron Maiden before you listened, this song especially is very Maiden-esque.
W.A.S.P. was first used for white anglo saxon protestant and that was the play on the acronym for this band, it meant whatever folks wanted it to mean really
The song is about fighting addiction "Thunderhead". How you surrender all your civil rights to drugs. The "Devils voice" is the drugs telling you, your future.
Smokey's been the equivalent of around the world 80 times. That's impressive and I do believe it to be possible. I work at a truck stop and I meet drivers all the time who have been driving for over 40 years and I've heard them estimate many millions of miles and they keep track of all their miles so it's probably pretty accurate.
Remember buying this album back in 1988 when it was released. The Heretic was the first song on this great album and it blow me away. Had been a fan since the first album in 1984 and since that first one W.A.S.P had been facing a lot of shit from the "grown up world". Suddenly with this album they were bringing up some serious issues and suddenly got a lot of good feedback. Great band that I last saw live summer 2019. First time was in 1984. Have been a great ride.
Thunderhead is about drugs. Please react to more W.a.s.p. They have such a variety of songs from really heavy songs to more power ballads. W.a.s.p is an amazing band. Seen them live twice 😊
The name Thundrhead refers to a heroin addict and the sensation that it produces in his head when he injects himself (like it explodes or something like that) he talks to him about death represented in addiction, tells him that there will be no way out and demands fidelity from him absolute, even so Thunderhead blindly promises him fidelity forever, for being lost in drugs.
On the topic of ravens, I’ll add that they’re heavily significant in British folklore too, especially concerning death- the most well known legend being that if the ravens at the Tower of London fly away, Britain will fall. Also, react to the Headless Children. A WASP classic.
WOW ANOTHER ONE THAT TAKES ME BACK..I SAW WASP BACK IN 1986 AND THEY ROCKED..THEY WERE HEAVY BJT HAD GREAT MELODY..RIP CHRIS HOLMES WHO DIED IN THE LAST 90'S OR EARLY 2000'S.... CHECK OUT A SING BY THEM NAMED: F#CK LIKE A BEAST..KILLER SONG..ROCK ON FELLAS...PEACE
Here's 1 for you, try Rhapsody: sacred power of raging winds. It's awesome and you should recognise the person's voice in the beginning. It's like a metal opera
Yo. It's been a month now guys...when are you gonna react to mushroomhead-Solitaire unraveling. come on guys. Please. Do it for the fans. More Gwar wouldn't hurt either.
I following W.A.S.P. since their beginning, but this album (the headless children) is their best album ever with the best line up. And the drummer is Frankie Banalie on this album just died in august this year (r.i.p.) The song is going about somebody with a drug addict.
According to blackie lawless the lead singer the band name is actually from the insect the wasp they just made it W.A.S.P. to make people question and wonder.
I picked up an owl that had been struck by a car to my amazement he was fine I pulled my car over blocking traffic so someone wouldn’t finish the job and actually run him over. Just our luck I noticed his one leg sticking up in the air. So ya had a pet owl for a few days till PAWS let him go not before I smoked him out :P
Hi guys, could you react to band called *American Head Charge* please, they really have good ol' songs from nu metal era. Seamless Effigy 23 Just so you know Ridicule All wrapped up Shutdown
I've been a fan of this band since '84. Blackie Lawless, the singer is now a Christian. You should definitely check out 'Golgotha' everyone needs to hear that message
I think most people only travel a maximum of 500,000 miles...that is wearing out 5 cars in a lifetime, but i truly don't know if 2,000,000 miles is even a possible thing in just one person's experience.
Lol "this might be fire" Fucking a right bro. This whole album is fire. And thunderhead is one of my favorites along with the title track the headless children
WASP was a huge part of me growing up (BTW, most of the images in this video don't have anything to do with the lyrics, it's a bad, really bad, fan video). They were rebels and up to their The Crimson Idol album, they were really legit (IMO)
I feel like my life has come full circle. I promise this is as close to the "glam hair metal" stuff as I get. But now I'm going to keep bugging you guys 'till you get to Faith No More. 😁

Mid life crisis and epic are two great Faith no more songs for sure!!
@@chancegregg1444 They've done Mid Life Crisis. I'd love to see them do more.
Oh my god, W. A. S. P.?! One of my favourite bands of 80's, Blackie's voice is one of the greatest!
Freakin love Blackie's voice.
Yup. My favorite band.
More W.A.S.P!
Rebel In The F.D.G
I'm Blind in Texas
Babylons burning
Headless Children
All killer songs, there are just too many to list.
Blackie Lawless (Vocalist, guitar player and songwriter)and the gang are absolute legends of the 80s metal scene.
100% agree with Rebel in the F.D.G.!
Unfortunately there are recent videos that are apparently edited. I noticed a few comments on a more recent release of Chainsaw Charlie that brought up it was changed so I didn't bother finishing the video.
Mean Man.
@@digimortalone2759 that one too
Charisma from the unholy terror album.
Keep W. A. S. P. Going. The Real Me. And The Headless Children. This brought back my teen days late 80s early 90s. Thank You.
a big thank you to the assassin behind those rolling drums.....Frankie Banali...........R.I.P.
The Drummer was the late great Frankie Banali whom sadly passed away this past August from pancreatic cancer
80's hair metal has made it to the chanel.
UGH!

"This song is a statement against heroin. If you've seen, someone inject themselves with a drug, it's not the most pleasant sight, especially if the addict still can't "catch" his vein. This is probably the first song, that we wrote for the album, along with 'War Cry', which in the end did not get on this record. The overall mood of this album began with 'Thunderhead'. This song helped to develop a general idea of power."

Wasn't 95 Nasty. It was 'Harder Faster'. Apologies. I'm old.
W.A.S.P. as well as many other rock/metal bands gave the P.M.R.C. the biggest middle finger.
Love your channel guys. You give so many perspectives of each song. Keep up the good work 😊
Will do my friend, glad you enjoy
I feel old to have WASP on vinyl
Same- I have the 95 nasty picture disc shaped vinyl!!!
I thought it was “We Are Sexual Perverts”
Nailed it!
We Are Satan's Priests is the one I always heard.
Oh wow really
This is correct. Back in the 80s it was We Are Sexual Perverts
@@Hollywood6IX they have a song called "Animal (fuck like a beast)" that is just basically explaining their perversion

And a grand applaud to the late Frankie Benali for his drumming on this cd...R.I.P.
The The Headless Children album is amazing completely. Frankie Banalie ex Drummer of Quiet Riot recording in this excellent album 1989.
W.A.S.P. was one of my favorite 80s bands! One of my gateway bands that led me to Slayer and Pantera.
YES! haven't watched the video yet, but loce this song and album.
Remember buying this album back in 1988 when it was released. The Heretic was the first song on this great album and it blow me away.

Are you guys taking the tag challenge?
Brilliant review guys keep it up !
Possibly my favorite of ALL of their songs.
This whole album was killer! WASP fan since late 80's
Great reaction guys
No Animal (F*ck Like a Beast)?? 😆 I don’t think blackie lawless has ever given a straight answer about the band’s name. I could be wrong though
I heard him say that spelling the name like that will get people talking about them so for me its We Are Self Promoters.
@@huck944 haha I like it!
We are sexual perverts.
By some dink from the washington post blackie said that in a harder faster live concert
Wow this went way back! If yal react to W.A.S.P again do Wild Child, Sleeping(In The Fire), Blind In Texas. 🤘🏼
I vote for more WASP! 🤘🏼
W.a.s.p. The Heretic is a must!!!
Thunderhead is about drugs. Please react to more W.a.s.p. They have such a variety of songs from really heavy songs to more power ballads. W.a.s.p is an amazing band. Seen them live twice 😊
R.I.P. to drummer Frankie Banali, who steamrolled this song with powerful rolling drums.
May wanna check out the actual band called ‘Death’ good introduction song would be Crystal Mountain
Blackie lawless is NATIVE AMERICAN.
Guys, I love your channel! Please react to Life of Agony - "Through and Through" or "This Time"!! Cheers from Latvia 🤘🤘

More W.A.S.P please! The Heretic, I wanna be somebody, The great misconception of me, widowmaker

Hail the villain huh, ok cool cant wait to check them out
You have to listen to tormentor live in lyceum London in 1984.. it's bad ass and you love it
The name Thundrhead refers to a heroin addict and the sensation that it produces in his head when he injects himself (like it explodes or something like that) he talks to him about death represented in addiction, tells him that there will be no way out and demands fidelity from him absolute, even so Thunderhead blindly promises him fidelity forever, for being lost in drugs.
Show No Mercy....a true banger
THunderhead is the name given to the Heroin addict talking to his addiction in his own head as he dies......
awesome
We aint sure pal
ah a great song
Great band, check out Chainsaw Charlie by them if you want a glimpse of what the music industry was like back then
Yes, please!
On the topic of ravens, I’ll add that they’re heavily significant in British folklore too, especially concerning death- the most well known legend being that if the ravens at the Tower of London fly away, Britain will fall.
Also, react to the Headless Children. A WASP classic.
Alright. That one took a bit to grow on me but by the end of the spoken part, I was in it
Love WASP, please do The Idol
I'm sort of shocked the the first W.A.S.P. you reacted to was anything other than "animal (fuck like a beast)"
Please Please Please do Golgotha by these guys. It is such an epic song with a message.
RUSH THURSDAYS!!!
Check out their song Charisma
Owls are the bird of death
Thunderhead = Heroin addict. At least in this song...

It's about it being hooked on Heroin
I following W.A.S.P. since their beginning, but this album (the headless children) is their best album ever with the best line up. And the drummer is Frankie Banalie on this album just died in august this year (r.i.p.) The song is going about somebody with a drug addict.
The attraction could be the mystery behind it.
Good choice of wasp thanks,

Try ravenheart by wasp
