LOVE blackie!!!!! I have ALL of his albums, GOD I want more!!!! Best musician, man, guitarist, singer, writer in the galaxy. - THE IDOL and K.F.D is OMG the best music I have ever heard.
Yeah! I mean, even when it came to the subject of the group Stryper, Blackie Lawless (Who was raised in The Baptist Church, from what I understand, and that later actually received Jesus Christ as his own personal Savior and Lord!), was actually very cautious and careful what he said about Stryper. He taught us a little lesson in respect there, folks! Who'd of thought that Blackie would show that much respect for Stryper that way?!? It truly is a small World, after all!
It's pretty cool watching shows like the Ball, those of you who like traditional 80's Metal can kinda see what it was like in the heyday, sort of like a window into the past. W.A.S.P was one of my favorite bands back then, their style of Metal was/is right up my alley. W.A.S.P had a little bit of all the good elements from different styles of Metal, not a thrash or glam band. How ever people wanna label them, I would just say they're a Heavy Metal band.
I remember watching this! My late husband played W.A.S.P for me for the 1st time in 1985....thank you for posting this! Brings back some great memories!
yeah after reading a lot of Chris interviews, it showed me it was a very fitting picture indeed. I love Blackie but it must be really hard to work/live with that guy.
They didn't though, three of their albums were quite popular in Europe and they were a major hit in Norway and Sweden. 3 albums charted in the top 10, one of them went #1 on the billboard charts. For whatever reason, they didn't find that level of success in America, two of their albums barely cracked the top 100 on the billboard charts. They were quite famous in Europe, particularly Scandinavian countries, germany etc...They sold 5 million records worldwide.
No, they flopped because the record label wanted them to write tasteless, Poison-like sex tunes instead of advanced and meaningful lyrics with complex and technical musicianship. The band refused to do so, so the label didn't do shit to promote them.
Must have been a such boring thing for the general of the army W.A.S.P. Blackie Lawless to present wild side from Mötley Crüe, realizing both bands had not too much friendly relationship at hard rock scene. Mainly at this age which this program was air. They were real rivals lol
Blackie offered the song wild child to motley they said no thanks...what popped up on Motley's next album wild side 🤔🤔... GRT times being young and for metal....
what are you talking lol,Nikki and Blackie was friends since the early 80s they make big partys together when Crüe was on the SATD Tour and Nikki Vince loves WASPS music
Metal became so much better than this crap the industry was selling in the 80's, thankfully the glam hairband sellouts burnt out... The WASP's Motley Crues, Guns and Posers of the world need to just go the fuck away and leave metal to the real fans, not this corporate rock bullshit.
I actually saw them in 1984-84 at Lamour in Brooklyn.. No the early stuff was not.. nor was Motley Crues first album bad either but.. they sold the fuck out and now Blackie found Jebbus.. so erase their names from the book of death and ignore them..ha.
+macinegott In your opinion, how do YOU define "metal?" In my opinion, THAT'S the problem with the so-called "modern rock/metal" bands: it's ALL ABOUT (THE) MONEY AND CHART POSITION-and NOTHING ELSE. In my opinion, when I got into rock/metal music in 1978, it was all about, NOT JUST THE MUSIC, but about the ESCAPE, the FUN, and HAVING A GREAT TIME (that included "dressing up as rock/metal fan to show one's support"). Sorry, in my opinion, what the business is promoting, what music stores are selling, and what rock radio stations are playing, right now, ISN'T metal!
+AngelofAnguish To be perfectly honest I stopped listening to American Anything, Metal included twenty years ago for a better and evolving German Industrial scene. On another note I can't stand what happened to metal with its glamification, nothing even against glam but the bad drag act Glam metal underwent sucked balls, I actually really like the NY Dolls but Metal is not supposed to be that and it almost completely destroyed American Metal turning it into a corporate rock fucking joke, had it not been for some classics like Slayer and Judas Priest carrying the torch for traditional Metal who the fuck would care about this shit... and I could care less about chart positioning particularly in the US market which is nothing but a bland musical ghetto.. almost always has been and always will be .
I'm glad headbangers ball is on UA-cam, since I didn't grow up in this era.
It's pretty cool watching shows like the Ball, those of you who like traditional 80's Metal can kinda see what it was like in the heyday.
God I love UA-cam! Finding all this great stuff from the 80's would be practically impossible to find otherwise
As long as you play by their rules~
LOVE blackie!!!!! I have ALL of his albums, GOD I want more!!!! Best musician, man, guitarist, singer, writer in the galaxy. - THE IDOL and K.F.D is OMG the best music I have ever heard.
Not just his albums.
Blackie could be a good tv host 🤗❤
Ikr!

@@ronaldshank7589 Stryper was actually attacked more then anybody by the 80's televangelists.
@@ronaldshank7589 I'm pretty sure he knew the guys from Stryper when they were playing as Roxx Regime~
When MTV was great to watch

Who would've loved to see Glenn Danzig host Headbangers Ball

I saw King Kobra, WASP and Ted Nugent on the same bill in Austin back in 86. Ready to Strike, Last Command and Little Miss Dangerous tours.
Ted Nugent is complete trash and always has been

Funny.....
27 years later, both WASP and TNT are playing the "Tons of rock" festival tonight:)
TheRatPack168 I'm surprised TNT is still around lol. I know WASP will forever will be. But I'm gonna have to check these TNT guys out.
@@tombstonexcadaver Ronnie is a fucking beast at guitar. No shocker there.
The Question..What is the music scene like in Norway...says it is small and not much going on there...then...black metal in the 90's lol
B.L.-Super Fan Club W.A.S.P.-Lokiss

🤪🤪
Hadbanger wer are you. Comon muter fuckr
I can see why TNT flopped. Personalities of wet paper bags 😆
They didn't though, three of their albums were quite popular in Europe and they were a major hit in Norway and Sweden.
3 albums charted in the top 10, one of them went #1 on the billboard charts.
For whatever reason, they didn't find that level of success in America, two of their albums barely cracked the top 100 on the billboard charts. They were quite famous in Europe, particularly Scandinavian countries, germany etc...They sold 5 million records worldwide.
Lol I was thinking the same.
No, they flopped because the record label wanted them to write tasteless, Poison-like sex tunes instead of advanced and meaningful lyrics with complex and technical musicianship. The band refused to do so, so the label didn't do shit to promote them.

No they werent blackie gave nikki alot of ideas
Blackie offered the song wild child to motley they said no thanks...what popped up on Motley's next album wild side 🤔🤔... GRT times being young and for metal....

+macinegott Early WASP wasn't that corp dude, their best work.
