Always loved W.A.S.P. - was also awesome how Johnny Rod was a great fit with Blackie for vocals. Coked out or not, he had energy, charisma and could sing while swinging that bass around. Too bad it had to fall apart. But such is show biz
I was a casual W.A.S.P. fan for many years. This song is the one that made me a huge massive fan of theirs. It is still one of the greatest songs I have ever listened to all these years later.
I was there too. 18 years old and medal mad. Donington 92 was my first ever concert, W.A.S.P were 2nd band on after Scottish rockers, The Almighty. In a few days time it will be the 30th anniversary of this show. Where does time go?
This is the first time I've seen this footage. I was there at Donington '92. This has to be the best Donington ever because ALL the bands on the bill did really well. This was one of the stand out performances of the day although I seem to remember the sound being a bit dodgy during WASP's set. Thanks for uploading. Great stuff.
I love WASP. I got into them around 1992 with their Crimson Idol album. I then got their earlier albums. Their self titled debut album is absolutely brilliant. Been a fan ever since.
you look so pure so Raw the energy stopping Jonny's voice is incredible set in it just beautiful and when the song change almost 3:45 oh boy that is when the song get good at least to me of everything that I've seen with this version live this is the best one
I guess they figured it was a better show than the '87 appearance. They didn't trash the gear/stage at the end. It wasn't raining as much, and Johnny Rod was having fun! :) They also recorded it for release as well. I remember BBC radio recorded the '87 appearance for the Friday Rock Show, but Blackie didn't think it was good enough for broadcast!
I'm a big Slayer fan, and to me the whole Show No Mercy album sounds like WASP. WASP even had a song called Show No Mercy. The first album didn't get dropped til 1984, but Blackie and the guys had been playing it onstage at least a year before. Slayer lived in Huntington Park near the Sunset Strip in L.A.
So much energy! Bad videoquality, bad soundquality but you still have to move your head and your feet to the beat. And now i want a beer. Because of this clip. I'm pumped. ^^ All 4 did an aaawesome job here. A clip that lets you smile although the dentist is maltreating your teeth. Should go to bed now. But fridge comes first.
Ahhhhhhh Strap on your six string and feed our machine, “and “he’ll make you scream for the cash machine down in chainsaw chainsaw Charlie’s morgue,” Two of the top ten best metal verses. Same song.
Was there, best song of the day. Sorry to all the other bands on the bill, but this is still one of my favorites even today in 2021. Stet on drums... wow !!!!
Blackie Lawless the Master! This IS the music industry of America; record companies and producers bleeding artists to their knees!! Blackie knew this from previous experience.
@@M1tjakaramazov I just got The Crimson Idol remastered version that came out in 1998 and it has a second CD with bonus songs and live songs from this performance of Donington 1992 and this version of Chainsaw Charlie (Murders In The New Morgue) is on it. It sounds way better than this video version. I just got it yesterday.
I remember the late, great Tommy Vance interviewing Blackie Lawless the night before this show. He asked, ‘what’s the main appeal of playing Donington?’ Blackie replied ‘Money, lots of money’. 😆🤣😆
Luego de la retirada de Rod, Blackie le aumentó a los Playback para los coros y acompañamientos. Pero Rod era tremenda energía en la banda y los coros y acompañamientos los hacía muy bn, le daban más calidad a las presentaciones en vivo.
Similar a lo que pasó con Metallica y la retirada de Jason, los coros en vivo perdieron tanto poder, otro ejemplo es Dream Theater y la salida de portnoy ahí le pusieron voces de acompañamiento a los temas.
tom richardson nope was an adapter he built for his own and the pedals are in front of him and are linked with pipes and are connected with extensions to each bass drum
Love the rebel flag guitar, but one thing I have noticed with a couple different Blackie's guitars, the body is upside down, the cutout on the body suppose to be on the bottom

THAT'S a live show! No playback, no overdub, the voice failing, the face sweating, the throat in pain, wrong notes! That's rock'n'roll!
That's It!!!
I just saw them in Monterrey Mexico and they sing the same
2:39 that looks a lot like a pre-recorded bass
Johnny Rod! Much missed in WASP, what a brilliant musician, listen to those backing vocals FFS!
Italiano vero!
Fucking awful man. Drunken shouting
@@thomasedmundrichards F***off you will never understand if you weren't there.. I was I'm 51...
@@thomasedmundrichards If you can't recognise the emotion in his singing, your heart is dead man.
@@M1tjakaramazov didn’t say there was no emotion, just no singing talent. Sorry if you disagree
I have heard this song hundreds of times the most recent being 10 minutes ago. But when Johnny Rod came in on vocals I got goosebumps
Crimson Idol is a masterpiece. Got to see WASP in 2008 when they played the entire album.
Johnny Rod a fantastic bassplayer and singer!!👍
Great group of rock.... W.A.S.P. i listen from the 80´s... and ever
Watching during our 2020 Covid19 pandemic...W.A.S.P. STILL ROCKS
I can never get used to seeing Blackie play guitar, dude just looks so iconic playing bass
Right. I like Johnny but Blackie on bass with Randy Piper and Chris Holmes is iconic.
Yeah it’s weird but I don’t care the man just wanted to play guitar in his own band
classic heavy metal.....the most incredible years of rock....god bless you blackie for this incredible record
OMG Johnny's backing vocals give me the chills in this 🤘🤘
Always loved W.A.S.P. - was also awesome how Johnny Rod was a great fit with Blackie for vocals. Coked out or not, he had energy, charisma and could sing while swinging that bass around. Too bad it had to fall apart. But such is show biz
The drummer is a beast !!! Probably my favorite WASP song.
Frankie banali rip
@@Rick88843 That is Stet Howland on stage. He shared studio duties on the album with Frankie.
@@hoppy288 Ohhh
listening to this album as an older man the drums throughout are absolutly amazing
Fucking epic! Definitely the peak of W.A.S.P here. best album, best lineup
Crimson Idol is amongst the greatest albums of all time. I genuinely mean that.
I was a casual W.A.S.P. fan for many years. This song is the one that made me a huge massive fan of theirs. It is still one of the greatest songs I have ever listened to all these years later.
Johnny Rod fucking awesome! Brilliant vocals, brilliant music sence!
What an epic performance. I would give up a lot of things just to be there...
Cant believe 21 year old me was in that crowd, best weekend of my life,
I was there too. 18 years old and medal mad. Donington 92 was my first ever concert, W.A.S.P were 2nd band on after Scottish rockers, The Almighty.
In a few days time it will be the 30th anniversary of this show. Where does time go?
This is epic beyond words! That's what I call a live performance!
I fuckin love this man! Powerful raw music! God bless mr lawless!
Fantastic drummer...great line up.. wasp rock
I can’t believe I was stood in that field 26 years ago moshing to this😳
David C must’ve been sick
Johnny Rod was so cool.
They should have a better shoot of this with more Johnny Rod. Gave 100%, voice slightly broken perhaps, but amazing emotion.
This is the first time I've seen this footage. I was there at Donington '92.

I was at this show.
Endaf Buckley .With the famous giant Dunlop Tire !!!!Epic show !!!
Lucky you! I would've liked to have seen this show, but even more so the Donnington '87 appearance!
Awesome, I was at the year before, what a gig!!
Endaf Buckley fucking legendary
Johnny Rod is a brilliant singer!!
What a performance!
We've all heard the Chuck Norris jokes over and over. Johnny Rod is the Ric Flair of Heavy Metal.
hahahahaha
Crazy to think that teenage me was in that crowd! :P

I think Slayer were on before WASP here. I was there but forgot.
johnny rod rulz !!
Frankie Banali not plays in this tour. The drummer is Stet Howland
So much energy! Bad videoquality, bad soundquality but you still have to move your head and your feet to the beat. And now i want a beer. Because of this clip. I'm pumped. ^^
All 4 did an aaawesome job here. A clip that lets you smile although the dentist is maltreating your teeth.
Should go to bed now. But fridge comes first.
I was at this show back in the day
Ahhhhhhh Strap on your six string and feed our machine, “and

Two of the top ten best metal verses. Same song.

Great and powerfull song from Blackie Lawless y sus muchachos!
Great vid! Seeing Jonny vocals was awesome! However, at 5:31, Blackie was no where near the mich as the vocals rang out. :(
Blackie Lawless the Master! This IS the music industry of America; record companies and producers bleeding artists to their knees!! Blackie knew this from previous experience.
that drum set up is strange but awesoe at the same time
Os alucinados Blackie Lawless e Johnny Rod. Demaisssss
Awesome job on the drums Stet !!! AKA "The Hulk" Rock it brother.
Does it get any better than this? No it doesn’t ! Fucking unreal
I was there.....best weekend ever. Wasp fucken killed it.
Love the Jackson soloist he's got.
Here´s JOHNNY!!!!!!!!!!
This is awesomerest!
i was in the crowd, awesome show
fantastic
Stet Howland rules!!!
Best musician on stage that gig
Johnny Rod just wiped the floor with Blackie on this one
You must be watching a diff video my son
I never said Johnny rod sings amazing I stayed that he gave more heart and balls than blackie did in this one
I fucking love the way he sings the pre-chorus. Wish I had this recording with better sound.
@@M1tjakaramazov I just got The Crimson Idol remastered version that came out in 1998 and it has a second CD with bonus songs and live songs from this performance of Donington 1992 and this version of Chainsaw Charlie (Murders In The New Morgue) is on it.

Jesus Christ that’s how you fucking do it folks!!!!!
Rod!!!❤
I love it
Elvis is back baby!
the drummer must have burnt at least 5000 kcal during that song :-)
Awesome! They all have a buzz.You can tell.
i was there! best gig ever!
Hell yeah, Blackie is just awsome, would luv to have my way with him.😘💜😘💜
I agree, exept when I saw him run across the stage at Hammersmith O, and fall over! :)
He has energy, can sing and play!
Love those Ultimate Warrior boots
where is Johnny Rod now???? he was the coolest dude in metal!
ajwasp reunited with King Kobra playing bars / clubs / picnics and festivals
He was working as an ambulance driver I believe?
Blackie Lawless forever
POWERFUL
Looks like Blackie's doing some Jazzercising in that outfit.
I was theré!!!! 🎶🎵🎼🎸😎👊
One of the best metal song.
I remember the late, great Tommy Vance interviewing Blackie Lawless the night before this show.
He asked, ‘what’s the main appeal of playing Donington?’
Blackie replied ‘Money, lots of money’. 😆🤣😆
Best tour in the whole history of Wasp
Was this the gig where Blackie famously had a serious throat infection and still played anyhow cause he didn't want to let down the crowd?
Stet Howland.
I like the way they swapped vocals. They did it for a number of years. Was disappointed to hear Live ...In the Raw was just Blackie singing!
Johnny gave it 110% on this one. Go on, my son!!...

Followed WASP since 86. I was in this crowd!
This drummer is 100% amazing. Where did he go after this?
He went to Vietnam searching for american P.O.W. (Like Rambo...)
he went for a Piss
Metal Church
@@minfotsagerhejhej2301 lmfao
He remained with WASP until '06 I think before forming his own band and eventually joined Metal Church.
the line up is different what happened too chris holmes and randy piper? but the performance is pretty good
Donington 1992 80000 people and not ONE (1) second filmed of the audience during this clip?????
I agree with you
Fuck me Stet Howland must have massive long legs. Look how far apart the bass drums are
tom richardson nope was an adapter he built for his own and the pedals are in front of him and are linked with pipes and are connected with extensions to each bass drum
I miss the old lineup nowadays 😕
Now am ready go to work 🤘
Love the rebel flag guitar, but one thing I have noticed with a couple different Blackie's guitars, the body is upside down, the cutout on the body suppose to be on the bottom
Johnny Rod!!!
Welcome to the morgue boy!
Doug and Stet?

Glenn Milligan thanks for that
Blackie's rebel flag guitar looks interesting -- like he took a left-handed body, flipped it over and put a right-handed neck on it.
Blackie is a madman
Stet Howland is a great drummer
JOHNNY ROD!!!! Almost as cool as Ben Orr...
WASP! GREAT!
It's a good effort even though I believe Blackie was sick with flu at the time.
who are the guitarist and drummer?
Awesome! Creeps...
The case when Johnny Rod sang better Blackie)
