@@yuri_nazarenko I think they've disappeared so far up their own orrifices - that it doesn't really matter anymore.. You have to agree though, Mark Slaughter is such an undercelebrated singer and really deserved his dream gig but it never came
The Headless Children is one of my desert island discs. From the cover, the lineup, the subject matter, the recording quality, it still holds up. Yeah, he might’ve turned into an old lady looking like Minnie Vincent, but what a voice.
Your comment didn't come through so i have to address it here Ok so our opinions differ THAT'S FINE. but then since it's our opinion, don't say "The best voice in al Metal and the Ultimate Metal Frontman" as if it were a definitive statement that represents the opinions of everyone. You should have said "In my opinion.. the best voice... etc etc" there's the actual best then there's the best in your opinion. I can respect what he means to you, But he's not BY A LONG SHOT the best voice in metal. Just to name 2 Rob Halford Bruce Dickinson. Next to them Blackie doesn't come close to competing As for Best frontmen, there are a few, but one that is generally accepted and Blackie would first have to beat, would be DAVID LEE ROTH, even if Dave is not the best front man in metal ever. He definitely beats Blackie Again, Not trying to shit on blackie either. Just saying and giving simple examples to show he's neither the best frontman or the best voice WHAT HE IS IS... VERY VERY GOOD FRONTMAN AND VERY GOOD VOICE
@@martinkuliza The Fact that i am a person, making a Statement of a matter of personal Taste (in this Case for Music) should speak for itself that it can only be my own personal opinion. I can't talk for others. So there is no reason to point that out. I can use the Terms "Best" or whatever without explaining that this is just my opinion. It's Obviously my Opinion.
@@DeuceSimmonsOfficial that's fine, but if you're going to look at it that way, we are all speaking from personal opinion... but the fact is, we are not . simple fact.. i'm not trying to shit on you so don't take it that way ok. I'm just saying, Look at your original comment, it doesn't come across as... YOUR OPINION, it comes across as... You're making a blanket statement that Blackie has THE BEST VOICE IN METAL and he is the ultimate frontman. I'm just saying.... he's very talented, but he's not the best, Not even close. but.. i still respect you, your opinion and blackie, don't get me wrong
Of all of those Sunset Strip bands W.A.S.P. was, by far, the best musically. Especially once they got to 'the Headless Children'. Blackie was tackling sociopolitical issues while the rest of those bands were still singing about dragons or their d!cks. To this day he is the most intelligent, well-read and articulate musician I've ever heard. Snarky soy-boy metal press likes to mock him for his Christianity and Conservative stances, but if Blackie ever talks about a subject you'd do best to listen to what he's saying, because there is a very good chance he knows a hell of a lot more about it than you do.
Blackie Lawless is the first musician to create a new style, the hidden SHOCK METAL SISTER band, the pioneer in using what many today call black metal, painting his face with black eyes and dressing in black with chains around his neck Blackie Lawless is the promoter of the genre. Heavy metal...he is the man who creates a new musical genre in a time of hippies SITER is the band...that gives way to the band HEAVY METAL W.A.S.P. Blackie Lawless is the king of metal...his friend JIMMY IMAGE and JOE PALERMO knew all this
When Blackie sings! He can totally consume you! Making you feel everything and then some! From soft weeping melodies! To hard orgasmic screams! Blackie is one of the greatest singer/songwriter's, of all time! W.A.S.P. is forever! 💯
What ! No fall Is still kicking Never stop him Is voice is amazing Am a hellion ⚔️ 😗ok let say 1984 and 1985 was real wasp 😂 Very good video ! 1984/2024 I never stop listen to balckie Hate to love Love to hate long relationship 10/10 video
I got my high-school nickname from him. I spelled it without the e: Blacki. I wore all black but it was not Goth at that point in time. At least not where I live. Goth made its way to upstate New York after I graduated high school....there were people I met who only knew me as Blacki and never by my actual name Kathi...
Like everything else there’s levels involved and in my opinion when it comes to AMAZING metal vocalist only a few comparatively sit above all the so called greats and Blackie definitely has reserved seating at the top … Blackie without a doubt has a unique sound and feel so for me when it comes to being above the so called greats it’s about being more than great and not better than great because greatness like style has to do with taste and not substance so for me its about being rare and one of a kind it’s the substance that gives birth to uniqueness … thanks … GOD BLESS !!!
SHOCK METAL by SISTER...the one who caught fire was Blackie Lawless, he must have videos, photos of SISTER, and Niki copied Blackie Lawless. I have the photo of SISTER in 1976 with Jimmy. Image: Blackie said that SISTER didn't work. It's just that they were hippie times.
Sadly, this is true. I still believe Blackie can sing amazingly well, given the right circumstances and is properly rested and all that. But the moment I saw that massive, punishing tour schedule I thought there is not a singer on the planet who's voice could hold up like that. So I just knew then that he would be having plenty of assistance, especially after the back problems started.
@@RolandDeschain1 Agree 100% he demonstrated during the 2022 comeback show in Skansen he can pull it off. Then the US tour comes around and the tracks come out.
Blackie Lawless has such an androgynous image, looks like the male version of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark/ One of the most brilliant and wildly imaginative hard rock metal artists which confirms that he is fulfilling his vocation in life/
SISTER is the first heavy metal shock metal band and it is not GLAM,,,,........... that throws rats and worms at the public that was BLACKIE LAWLESS creator of SISTER the infamous occult band in a time of hippies and psychedelic rock
I never got into this type of metal_ didnt like the vibrato- rasp vocals or the costume thing_ this guy in Junior High (1983-85) we called 'Heelion' wore a Wasp Fart like a Beast shirt_ i thought the shirt was funny
Ozzy is always the dark prince and Godfather of Metal. this isn't even a debate No Sabbath, No Metal Comparing Ozzy and Blackie is like Comparing Doro Pesh the Mistress of Metal and Lita Ford Lita and Blackie have their merits but they are not the godfather or Mistress of the Genre, these Made their mark and EARNED AND DESERVED the name they god Just like Michael is the King of Pop and Madonna was the Queen of Pop. these titles are earned and un challenged at this point in the game Ozzy is always the godfather and Doro always the Mistress WASP........ well W.A.S.P. Earned .... the throwing of meat into the crowd and stryper copied that and that is well known . W.A.S.P. and Motley were 2 of the different kind of glam, they weren't really glam, but of the 2 W.A.S.P. Took a better approach,more of an underground approach where Motley stayed in the mainstream so there are merits to W.A.S.P. but they are not ozzy, not by a long stretch
One of the most unique voices in rock and a brilliant songwriter - Awesome.
My favorite voice.
What a voice so superior to Mötley Crüe is not even a debate
Motley should have got rid of Neil and gone with someone like Mark Slaughter or Blackie when they had the chance long ago!
@@shoominati23 I disagree - Vince Neil fits "Motley Crue" to a tee, and they know it.
@@yuri_nazarenko I think they've disappeared so far up their own orrifices - that it doesn't really matter anymore.. You have to agree though, Mark Slaughter is such an undercelebrated singer and really deserved his dream gig but it never came
Good thing they had Mick to carry them all those years.@@yuri_nazarenko
I don't think you can sell Motley Crue without a voice like Vince's.
I know it would be a hard sell for me no matter how good the vocals are.
He is the one & only Blackie Lawless! My favorite artist
The Headless Children is one of my desert island discs. From the cover, the lineup, the subject matter, the recording quality, it still holds up. Yeah, he might’ve turned into an old lady looking like Minnie Vincent, but what a voice.
Blackie and Jon Oliva are the two most underrated vocalist's to me. Untouchable
He is One of my favorite Artists Ever!!! 🔥❤️
The best Voice in all Metal and the ultimate Metal Frontman!
Your comment didn't come through so i have to address it here
Ok so our opinions differ THAT'S FINE.
but then since it's our opinion, don't say "The best voice in al Metal and the Ultimate Metal Frontman"

You should have said
"In my opinion.. the best voice... etc etc"
there's the actual best
then there's the best in your opinion.
I can respect what he means to you, But he's not BY A LONG SHOT the best voice in metal.
Just to name 2
Rob Halford
Bruce Dickinson.
Next to them Blackie doesn't come close to competing
As for Best frontmen, there are a few, but one that is generally accepted and Blackie would first have to beat, would be DAVID LEE ROTH,
even if Dave is not the best front man in metal ever. He definitely beats Blackie
Again, Not trying to shit on blackie either.
Just saying and giving simple examples to show he's neither the best frontman or the best voice
WHAT HE IS IS...
VERY VERY GOOD FRONTMAN

Wasp isn't metal
Still going after 50 years
Of all of those Sunset Strip bands W.A.S.P. was, by far, the best musically. Especially once they got to 'the Headless Children'.

One of the greatest metal voices I've ever heard. I rank him up there with Dio, Ozzy, Ian Gillan... and many more.
0:48 Didn't his mother die in the time of 'Still not black enough'. That's what I have heard. Could be wrong though
yes thats what breathe and keep holding on, are about
@adamblackedition5529 That's what I thought. This video is a bit bullshit 🤣
my favourite band and singer
Blackie is my favourite singer songwriter so many great albums. the crimson idol is a masterpiece 🤘
Bro wasp is NOT glam, its HEAVY metal.
I was 8 ou 9 years old when i lestened them first time, its one of my favourite band since then.
WASP was cool...great guitar player Chris Holmes

Was my nr.1 band when I was a kid, now... W.A.S.P flag is still denim jacket back. Over 40 years later.
Live in the Raw, One of the best recordings for any metal head.
Got to see wasp when they first came out. Will never forget it.
Blackie has an awesome voice!
I love Blackie! Bad ass dude!
You can only imagine Tipper Gore's horror when GWAR came on the scene.
shes still trying to get New Kids on The Block to tour again
What !
No fall
Is still kicking
Never stop him
Is voice is amazing
Am a hellion ⚔️
😗ok let say 1984 and 1985 was real wasp 😂

1984/2024 I never stop listen to balckie
Hate to love
Love to hate long relationship

"""Blackie Lawless, THE BEST OF THE BEST"""!!!...💘💘💘
Blackie hasn't fallen yet.
I got my high-school nickname from him. I spelled it without the e: Blacki. I wore all black but it was not Goth at that point in time. At least not where I live.

🔥❤️Awesome 💥🔥❤️I Love Blackie Lawless hmmm ,my favorite all of time 🔥❤️💥🐝🌍🎼🌈💖greatest👍
Ozzy is the Dark Prince
Blackie is a musical genius. He pushed the limit and got the response he wanted. WASP is still one of the best bands of the 80s
Like everything else there’s levels involved and in my opinion when it comes to AMAZING metal vocalist only a few comparatively sit above all the so called greats and Blackie definitely has reserved seating at the top … Blackie without a doubt has a unique sound and feel so for me when it comes to being above the so called greats it’s about being more than great and not better than great because greatness like style has to do with taste and not substance so for me its about being rare and one of a kind it’s the substance that gives birth to uniqueness … thanks … GOD BLESS !!!
w.a.s.p. is heavy metal no glam
“Master Of Disaster” is one the greatest unreleased songs of all time.
Rise & fall? Hell never gonna burn this dark prince. He rise risen & rose but never fall
W.A.S.P.
A. lways
S. ounds
P. erfect
🐝🖤🤘
I think you spelled MEMOREX wrong....
Iam big fan wasmp
I love wasmp...
I can remember when Don Costa played with Wasp in the early 80's! Monster bass player!!!
SHOCK METAL by SISTER...the one who caught fire was Blackie Lawless, he must have videos, photos of SISTER, and Niki copied Blackie Lawless. I have the photo of SISTER in 1976 with Jimmy. Image: Blackie said that SISTER didn't work. It's just that they were hippie times.
1:54. this just isnt true...
Blackies band WASP was tragically robbed and underrated itsc too bad!!
Trackie Flawless

Not for nothing but Blackie lawless did not return to his religion until sometime after 2010
Proof that AI voiceover can ruin any subject matter
SISTER is the first heavy metal shock metal band and it is not GLAM,,,,........... that throws rats and worms at the public that was BLACKIE LAWLESS creator of SISTER the infamous occult band in a time of hippies and psychedelic rock
content aside (I enjoyed the band and Blackie's Interviews over the years) , I HATE these AI-narrated documentaries....
The 9 million dollar man!
Jackie Lawman is the ONE
His name was his nick name as a child, this is BS
My lord get to the story I finally googled this freakshow to find out
He looks rather odd when he does his scary face thing.
The most HANDSOME FACE!!!...💘💘💘
blackie lawless is the master HIDDEN SHOCK METAL american
I never got into this type of metal_ didnt like the vibrato- rasp vocals or the costume thing_ this guy in Junior High (1983-85) we called 'Heelion' wore a Wasp Fart like a Beast shirt_ i thought the shirt was funny
I like Blackie dont get me wrong but Ozzy is the Dark Prince ! I think
Ozzy is always the dark prince and Godfather of Metal.
this isn't even a debate
No Sabbath, No Metal
Comparing Ozzy and Blackie is like Comparing
Doro Pesh the Mistress of Metal and Lita Ford
Lita and Blackie have their merits but they are not the godfather or Mistress of the Genre, these Made their mark and EARNED AND DESERVED the name they god
Just like Michael is the King of Pop and Madonna was the Queen of Pop.
these titles are earned and un challenged at this point in the game
Ozzy is always the godfather and Doro always the Mistress
WASP........ well W.A.S.P. Earned .... the throwing of meat into the crowd and stryper copied that and that is well known .
W.A.S.P. and Motley were 2 of the different kind of glam, they weren't really glam, but of the 2 W.A.S.P. Took a better approach,more of an underground approach where Motley stayed in the mainstream
so there are merits to W.A.S.P. but they are not ozzy, not by a long stretch
W.A.S.P. were far superior to Motley Crue. Compare album to album. No contest.
Inside the Electric Circus is not very good. Same for Theatre of Pain.
Blackie is a cartoon version of Ozzie Osborn.
