- An interview with Blackie Lawless of WASP, for the ABC TV show RockArena in Australia. As near as I can figure out, this would have been recorded late 1985.
Blackie discusses the 'Last Command' album, his views on what makes Heavy Metal popular, and also WASP's evolving stage-show at the time.
Blackie always spoke WAY ahead of his time...and SO far ahead of his age. Every early interview, it's astounding what he knew about the record industry. It's like he was a 50-year old veteran speaking from a 29-year old. Just blessed he gave his sweat, blood and tears to heavy metal. Thank you Blackie.
Blackie always makes a great interview. He was good looking back in the day as well!
i am in love with this man
His stare at the start is great.
He was dead cute!
Blackie could be anything in the world. He is very smart and has a very good understanding of everything about entertainment.Atop that he is a legendary singer who has fronted one of the greatest bands the wod has ever known. Just felt like I needed to say it.
World
Blackie Lawless... a great philosopher !
Thanks Joey
Blackie Lawless is super intelligent 🧠 He's very very interesting!!!!
Yep. I discovered WASP with the 'Last Command' album, and heard their first LP next, so at first I thought meh, it's ok. But over the years, those early songs became huge favourites. I Wanna Be Somebody & Love Machine are regulars for any compilation CD I make today. Not everyone likes 80s metal & hard rock, but for those of us that do, WASP will always be one of the best. I think it was their light-hearted tongue-in-cheek approach that set them apart. They were having fun, and you knew it!
Did w.a.s.p play any concerts in Australia in 1985 or was it just a promotional visit 🤔
I was soooo fortunate to have seen them when they first came out on mtv back in tha day. I was still in grade school and I was instantly taken with them. I'm still a huge fan. God bless Chris and Blackie with their health issues. 🙏 🙏🙏
Blackie has such dramatic eyes.
Blackie Lawless is super intelligent and very very interesting!!!!!😘🤘💥💢😎🔥
i remember getting 'last command' on vinyl & seeing that parental advisory sticker for the 1st time in my life

BLACKIE LAWLESS TE AMO
WASP is awesome. one of the best heavy rock bands if not the best
How can you not love a metal guy who admits he's a Beatles fanatic. Can care less what anyone thinks. .I love metal, but the beatles are the best.
Hopefully he does a few more interveiws in australia in the future.He is right the LAST COMMAND Sounds terrific now in 2011,with headphones,and i am talking about the vinyl.Finger's crossed he will one day sign my copy.:)
