    	Wasr is great.  I have all their albums.  It does take some
    getting upsed to the new wasp though.  I love their first album
    the best.  Live in the Raw is cool too.  Hell I even have the Fu*k
    like a beast ep.

    You Know the song I thought was great was "Im Blind in Texas"

    I love W.A.S.P. especially The Last Command with blind in texas
    and Wild Child, I heard that on their older EP's there were songs
    that are not on any of the LP's, anyone know if there are. I have
    A Wild Child remix that has Mississippi Queen on it, but Iv'e heard
    of others.

    I remember when WASP played "Scream until you like it" on our British
    "Top Of The Flops" (opps...I mean 'pops'!!!) program, which is full
    of RICK(DICKHEAD) ASTLEY, 5STAR, TIFFINY (I'll never forgive you
    guyz for her!! :-) )etc..                     
    
    It was funny - there was old Blackie Lawless and Randy Piper bangin'
    there heads away, whilst all the little teeny boppers wheren't sure
    where to look!!!!!      
    
    -Tony                      

    		
    		FIRST, i'll tell you guys all about one of the best
    shows i have ever seen.... it took place in Columbus,Ohio at a night
    club(bar) called THE NEWPORT. heading the ticket, of course, was
    W.A.S.P. with opening acts SLAYER and RAVEN. what a night, massive
    thrashing and unbelievable energy. i was in the 2nd or 3rd row,
    depending on the crowd movement. RAVEN came out first to get everyone
    started up.... a few brawls broke out, no big deal... then, on comes
    SLAYER and the crowd of metal heads rush the stage. heavy duty head
    banging was in order and of course everyone joined in, even the
    non-thrashers... SLAYER did an incredible show which isn't too hard
    to believe but of course W.A.S.P. would end it with a bigger boom.
    		so, the lights dimmed as W.A.S.P. was about to come
    out. as the beginning of the song "inside the electric circus" started
    a circus tent type curtain raised up revealing 4 barber shop pointed
    poles with 3 foot diameter heads of the band memebers of w.a.s.p.
    impaled on them with blood dripping from their decapitated heads....
    the intro. of inside the elec. circus was in full swing
                'welcome to the electric circus'
    		'the music is your passport'
    		'your key to unlocking all the doors that await you'
    		'feel the energy, and the frezie'
    		'and see all the unusual animals'
    		'and the animals,well their something else.....'
    then, the band members come out and blackie lawless,who now plays
    the six string wails out those first few chords at full decible...
    (formerly bass player). the show continues on with all their best
    tunes...no dought it was really rocken. they played "Texas" but
    changed the words aroud to 'gimme an "O" for Ohio' proceeded
    with afew numbers of their new album, did L.O.V.E.machine and all
    the rest of their greatest tunes...
    		the highlight of the show, for me had to be this one
    certain instance. A totally drucken ***hole was right up front with
    the rest of us head bangers, but instead of cheering them on, he
    was flipping Blackie the finger and calling the band members every
    name in the book!! seeing how Johnny Rod (BASS PLAYER) was situated
    dirrectly in front of this this guy, Johnny was starting to get
    a little tee'd of at the show this stupid mother f***er was putting
    on. of course , by now BLACKIE was aware of this wise guy...
    so, Johnny Rod signalling Blackie for the  o.k. to shut this guy
    up, received a little nodd from BLackie, saying more less GO AHEAD!
    Johnny, with his snake skin cowboy boots moves towards the edge
    of the stage a boots this guy right in the face nocking him totally
    unconscience.. the boncers moved in promply and removed the a**
    from the club. i thought it was great, the funniest thing i've ever
    seen a band member do at a show.....
    		well, the show continued with good spirits and at the
    final encore(don't remember what song it was) a ton of chicken feathers
    was dropped on the band and croud from above.... everyone their
    walked out looking like they just got tared and feathered.....
    HOWS THAT FOR A SHOW!!
    					i enjoyed it!

    	also i think you might like "electric circus" it kicks butt!

    Guess ya didn't see Decline Part II.
    
    He was sitting there in his swimming pool drinking bottle after bottle
    of straight Absolute vodka.  Talkin like the drunken fool he was.  He
    eventually yaked in the pool.  Brilliant!  A class act! 

I have the 'Electric Circus' LP - it has a pretty decent cover of Ashford
and Simpson's "I Don't Need No Doctor" on it.....

Other than that - Chris Holmes provided mucho entertainment in the movie
"Decline of Western Civilization - Part 2: The Metal Years". Even his
mother was funny!!!

    A review from Circus Mag. 1989 Feb edition,Copy w/out Permission
    
    
      Blackie Lawless' Cartoon overkill policies may turn many a critic's
    stomach,but alot of good music gets lost in the hype.Now W.A.S.P.'s
    Lyrics sound as if they were listening to too many METALLICA albums.
     they tackle subjects like war,(the title cut),cocaine addiction
    (Thunderhead), alienation ("THE REAL ME") and a host of other socially
    relevant subjects. But put all preconceived spinal tapism aside.
       THIS LP HAS MORE THAN ITS SHARE OF GREAT TUNES. NOT ORIGINAL
       BY A LONG,BUT GOOD FUN NONETHELESS.
                                                           Paul Gallota
    
    General Lawless
    

    
    I've got a few cuts from W.A.S.P.'s new album.
    
    They kick total ass! I'm listening to "Mean Man" right now but it 
    won't make radio as it is. (lyrics are f!@# this and f!@# that and 
    f!@# the other etc..). "For whom the bell tolls" and 
    "Locomotive(something)" are also cool.
                                   
    Oh well, tapes finished - time for Tesla I think 8^)

    
    
    	I just picked up the CD the other day after I saw the video
    	 on Mtv, the Drummers spot is not filled in yet but in the 
    	video it's Fankie Banali (sp?) and he did all the work on the
    	 album.
    
    	I like the album but it's not as good as the first 2.
    
    	Has anyone noticed W.A.S.P is starting to put covers out as
    	 there singles the new video is "The Real Me - by the Who" the
    	last one was "I don't Need No Doctor". Is it they don't
    	 think that any of there songs are up to par with the covers?
    
    	M
    	 B
    
    	

    re.29
    	I LOVE that cover by W.A.S.P.!!!
    
    The vid'z cool, too.
    
    Did someone say when the album's coming out yet?
    
    /Motorbreath...blind in Ma.

    
    I just picked it up yesterday.It's great.I like Thunderhead.It reminds
    me of my buddy the "Coke'n'nut" who's in jail for robbing his family
    and friend's blind for crack.If you got an addict friend you'll
    like this song.

    Greets.
    
    		I just got the new W.A.S.P album on Saturday. Its totaly
    WILD....
    
    I think the best songs are in the order that follows..
    
    
    	1. THE HETERIC ( The lost child )
    
    	2. MEAN MAN
    
    	3. THE HEADLESS CHILREN
    
    	4. THUNDERHEAD
    
    	5. THE NEUTRON BOMBER
    
     	6. MANEATER
    
    	7. FOREVER FREE
    
    	8. REBEL IN THE F.D.G
    
    	9. THE REAL ME
    
    
    p.s
          The MEPHISTO WALTZ is so shit and short its not worth mentioning
    
    							D.P

    I saw Blackie Lawless on the Headgi... (can't say that anymore can
    I ?) Headbanger's Ball Saturday.  He said he's trying to put forth
    a more serious side now, as opposed to him being " a walking add
    for Black and Decker ...".  After all that hype, it's hard to do
    that.  I mean, all he said about the new album and the thought that
    went into it is great but I still expect him to cough up a bat or
    something !
    
    
    
    				Scary

    
    	So far, all I've heard is their remake of The Who's 
    	"The Real Me", but I was wondering how much I would like
    	their new album.
    
	Anyone else willing to give their two cents before I go
    	out and waste/invest my money?!?

    Probably - Blackie's "all grown up and responsible" now, no more

    I started getting into WASP during the Electric Circus album days. 
    Then I got Live in the Raw, which is a bit*hin album!  It is certainly
    the best produced live album, because it's got a killer sound.  They
    just have some serious balls!  They are a really cool band.
    
    How is the new album?  Any opinions??

    
    
                     It gets a second vote here!

    Chris Holmes has auditioned for ALICE COOPER's band.
    
    Believe it.

    I heard Alice now has Guy Mann-Dude on lead guitar!!!

    He is this new dude (no pun int.) from LA who has been named the KING
    of speed-thrash guitar.  I guess he can tap so fast you won't believe
    it!  He has an album out now called _Sleight of Hand_. 

    Oh yeah, guy mann-dude is an ex-pro drummer turned monster guitarist,
    FYI.

    
    I thought his album was called "Slight of Hand".
    
    ??

    
    I believe there's an "E" in that....

    Could someone elaborate?

    Blackie Lawless is currently writing and preparing material for his
    solo album - he says he already has two albums worth of material
    written.
    
    "It's going to be very interesting and is going to surprise a few
    people".
    
    Informative, ain't he?!?!
    
    He has to do a solo album as part of a contractual obligation built in
    to the one signed with Capitol.
    
    Blackie has not confirmed whether Chris Holmes has left the band but
    says,"W.A.S.P. still has one more album to do in order to fulfill our
    recording contract."
    
    As well as making records, he also has sights on making political
    headlines!  Honest!  "I can really see myself becoming involved with
    politics, even seriously thinking about becoming a US Senator.'

    	know his name off hand - sorry) has just joined L.A. Guns?!?!!
    
    	Tigga~~~
    	
                   

    
    
       Kerrang/Metal Hammer reported that Chris Holmes quit, then Jonny Rod
    made a move and finally Blackie decided to call it a day as WASP and 
    look for a solo project. This all happened about 2 months ago or so.
    
    
     Prince Of The Dawn.

    it's a sad day when Blackie decides to hang up his flame firing
    codpiece.I will mourne deeply.....
    
                        STAYNZ(where's my black arm band)

    From the lips of Blackie himself.The band will still go on,BUT under
    the title of Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P.He said some people wanna rock
    and some people wanna play the happy husband.....but I won't mention
    any names.Printed without permission.

    Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. ?
    
    His ego is starting to appear!

    yea, 1st it was Miami sound machine
    then Gloria Estaban and Miami Sound machine
    Now just Gloria Estaban
    
    history repeats itself

     How in the world did Gloria Estaban make it in a HM note. Jeeeesh.:>)

    an example. Heavy Metal is big business, and this is how you migrate
    from the lead singer in the band to the big star in terms of publicity.
    You don't have to do it this way, but the transition name keeps the
    band name in front of the public long enough to learn who the star is,
    so to speak, and is useful if the star doesn't have the name reconition
    that the band does.
    
    Another example I can think of , offhand, not heavy metal but music
    business nonetheless is Herb Albert.
    
    First it was the Tijuana Brass, the Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass,
    then just Herb Albert.
    
    Heavy Metal isn't on a rock in the ocean, it's just a name applied by
    marketing types for easier digestion into the mainstream of america:
    Money Making.  Another thing tha's wierd is how every 4 years a new
    class of children discover music, they think it's so different than
    the last 4 years ( of course you all are too broad minded to be like
    this, so let's say the New Kids up the Crock fans, for example ) and
    it's never been done before.
    
    Makes ya wanna bang yer head into a wall and just say 'more beer'! 

      I have to agree on that 4 year thing. I have seen it in this
    conference here. Ask some of these people in here about groups in the
    60's and they act like what does the 60's have to do with the 90's. Of
    course I guess poeple in the 60's and 70's said what does music from
    the 50's have to due with music now. In actuallity though music is a
    steady progression, where you will here some things that have been
    around forever with some new innovative ideas which to those who haven't
    heard the old things before think it is completly fresh and new. I
    guess none of it really matters though as long as you can keep your
    mind open to new things and enjoy them.

Blackie Lawless has reformed WASP after their self imposed exile.  Chris
Holmes will no longer be in the band and Johnny Rod will not be taking
part in the recording of their new studio album.  Blackie will be handling
all the guitar and bass parts for the recording.  Frankie Benali is still
very much a involved in the project.  The band will now be called "Blackie
Lawless and W.A.S.P."

    A real role model for sure .... ack !
    
    Scary

    I recently bought the new promo pack from W.A.S.P. (Blackie Lawless)
    as an import from the U.K..  It looks like Blackie went for more of the 
    older W.A.S.P. stuff because the songs are relentless!!!
    
     It's called The Charlie Chainsaw W.A.S.P. pack!  It came with
    2 new song and a 9 minute story.
    
    The new songs are called:
    
     Murders In The New Morgue (Much better than any other Rue Morgue song)
    8)
      Phatom in the mirror
    
     and the 9 minute story called  The Story Of Johnathon.
    
    I think the new W.A.S.P album is going to be a CONCEPT album about this
    kid.  The story is VERY intense and seems almost like an bio for
    Blackie.  From what I understand the album is going to be called
    CRIMSON IDOL.
    
                      Frizkid
    

    
    Cool! Nevermind my other note.

    Btw-It cost me 12.00$ for the three songs as it was an import but
    well worth it. I check and the new album doesn't even have a release
    date in the U.S..

Subject: The Crimson Idol - a little about it
Date: 15 Jun 92 11:26:57 GMT
 
Ok - Here is some stuff about The Crimson Idol...
 
Credits (from the CD booklet)
Blackie Lawless: Lead vocal, lead, rhythm and bass guitars, keyboards
Stet Howland, Frankie Banali: Drums
Bob Kulick: Lead guitar
 
The album itself is just under 1 hour long, with 10 tracks. These are:
 1. The Titanic Overture (3:23)
 2. The Invisible Boy (4:04)
 3. Arena Of Pleasure (4:06)
 4. Chainsaw Charlie (Murders in the New Morgue) (7:36)
 5. The Gypsy meets the Boy (4:08)
 6. Docter Rockter (3:43)
 7. I Am One (4:27)
 8. The Idol (5:20)
 9. Hold on to my Heart (4:14)
10. The Great Misconceptions of Me (9:29)
 
The story tells of a boy who feels trapped and unloved by his family. His
older brother seems to be the 'golden boy' who can do no wrong, while all
he himself (his name is Jonathon) seems to get is scorn and beatings.
 
He calls himself the 'Invisible Boy' and begins to spend time searching for
some answer in front of the mirror. The story in the inlay describes this
much better than I can here...
 
His brother is killed in a hit-and-run accident when Jonathon is 14, and this
brings more pressure to bear in the family. He seeks escape in drink, drugs
and, latterly, music. He sees a guitar in a shop window while drunk, and he
knows that music is something he could do...
 
He runs away to the city (the 'Arena Of Pleasure') and there meets a
businessman called Charlie, who works in the record industry. Jonathon plays
guitar and Charlie gives him his break, and introduces him to an up-and-coming
manager called Alex Rodman.
 
Jonathon starts to make it big and his life gets more and more out of control
until one day Alex says to him he'd better sort his life out or he (Alex)
will drop him. Jonathon realises that the only reason anyone has stuck by him
is because he's rich and famous, and naturally enough feels somewhat shattered
by this.
 
He calls home, hoping to patch up the rift between himself and his parents
but they basically disown him, and the story ends there, with him knowing
that the one thing he wanted most of all - to be a success in the eyes of his
parents - will never happen.
 
All this is narrated over 3 pages in the booklet, and also in the lyrics of
the songs. The last song is a sort of summing up. There are also little
snatches of story laid over acoustic guitar between the songs.
 
Lastly, I am thinking of typing up the lyrics for cs.uwp.edu - it will very
likely be a few days before I do so though - coursework to do as well :-(

    HEY!!!!
         I AM NEW TO THE NOTES, BUT I JUST HAD TO PUT IN A FEW WORDS ABOUT
    "CRIMSON IDOL".  I THINK THE WHOLE CD IS EXCELLENT!!!!  EVEN THOUGH IS
    IS BASICALLY A ROCK OPERA, IT STILL JAMS!!

    Crimsol Idol is really excellent. I have also Headless Children but CI
    is even better. Guitar playing on CI is really great and songs like
    "Pleasure Arena", "Chain Saw Charlie", "The Crimson Idol" and well ..
    all of them are excellent. Well recommended !
