When Blackie was making his earnest speech about his doctors, was anyone else imagining him breaking into 'I don't need no doctor' or is that just me...?! lol.
Please tell Blackie that this "wild child jam sesson" is fantastic: LIVE & TRUE...I missed that real live experience for many years at his concerts. We all know how Blackie sounds on records...but in our last years on earth we want to hear you LIVE Blackie!
This. THIS. Right here. Should dispel any myths if this dude still has it. This mofo needs nothing. Now the band is indeed using enhancement at times. But Blackie still has the voice and can still hit the notes. He just proved it.
@@listerine414. They use enhancement on chorus', chants, etc. I'm against all that but everybody's doing it now. But you heard for yourself he can still hit the notes. That's what I meant my point to be.
You know what I respect the most from WASP in this video? They’re playing live. No BS; it’s live. And actually that’s saying a lot nowadays. Blackie’s voice sounds great.
Ohhhh fkkkking yessss. One of my Favorite Band as a Teenager in early 1980s. Yes ,we geting older and Looping that way, but we dont have to hide the scarfs Our life had given to us over all those years. Thats just life , and we all should Rock it like we can. Pure Metal love still today ❤❤❤
Blackie get better soon buddy. You know lot of this younger generation don’t get hard work and dedication and working through pain. Prime example right there. Rock on Blackie!
Hot take: I thought Blackie's "experiment" to Wild child at the beginning was good. Obviously I prefer the whole song, and it's a simple experiment to it. It's simple, but I like it. W Blackie.
I got the debut W.A.S.P. album in 1984 when I was 23 and I played it relentlessly (it might've played a factor in my first marriage failing) but now fast forward 40 years and I'm 63 and I have tickets to see W.A.S.P. in November in Orlando and incredibly it's the 40th anniversary of the debut album and they're gonna play it from start to finish... Sometimes things just fall perfectly into place!
... I was 13 years old when WASP's debut album came out. Blackie's music, voice and stage image just tore my soul apart. I knew who I had to become... Years passed, many years passed. I have been performing with my band Demons Of Guillotine for 25 years now, we have released several albums. But every time I go on stage, the indomitable spirit of Wild Child takes over me... I did not become a Rock Star, I did not go on long tours, millions of people do not know me, but I am happy that I still make my music, my shows. And it is for Blackie that I am grateful for who I have become.
I don't like the idea of playing the video on stage, that was 38 years ago. I think it's kinda' disrespectful to the current members. But we know Blackie is all about Blackie.
Love Blackie but he's looking ridiculous with those boots - a pair of black combat boots and he'd look like a cool old biker. Glad that he still has the amazing voice.
I’ll have to admit for as old as he is he still sounds pretty damn good. I just happened to across this video. I used to listen to wasp all the time when I was younger and every now and then something will pop up on Spotify, but I didn’t know they still toured and that was still around.🤷🏼♂️ Sucks about his back😱 this freaking song takes me back to the eighth grade😂 I remember buying this cassette👊🔥
Not sure if showing the music video on the screen in back is the best decision. After all, it was the BEST version of W.A.S.P. and the show we all want to see...again.
wow i blacky looks so different now then a few years ago!!he put a lot of weight on now and a bad haircut for sure!his voice still sounds good but him sitting on a chair,its rough to see him like that!!
Wow, Blackie's voice stills sounds as great as ever. I've only ever seen WASP live once, around 1992 at the legendary Marquee Club here in London on the Crimson Idol tour. That album is still one of my all time favourites. Thanks for posting this great footage.
Blackie has such a unique voice. One of the few metal singers who could've done any genre of music and been great. I think he had a voice that would've gained mass appeal but WASP was so vulgar they couldn't break into mainstream. There was a time when even metal mags considered them too raunchy to cover and merchandise outlets often didn't offer their stuff. Which was a shame. In WASP's debut album they already sounded like established vets.
Jesus....I've been a fan of WASP since the beginning....and yes everyone gets old......but holy hell Blackie looks just like Elvis just before he croaked
si da la talla, solo que en su momento cuando fueron las audiciones ya desde el inicio. estaba decidido irse por Mangini, pero quisieron hacer el drama, ese tío es una maquina y hasta con Dream Theater funciona, el progresivo no es la mamada, lo hacen como un imposible, Donati fue otro que se vio muy bien y para ellos tampoco dio el ancho, si el mismo Portnoy ha mencionado su admiración por Priester no veo porque nosotros simples mortales no podamos ver todo su potencial
@@ramcatchtherainbow Yo vi las audiciones para baterista de Dream Theater y Aquiles tuvo errores e incluso se disculpó con la banda aparte de que se le vió muy nervioso, es un buen baterista sin más.
Blackie’s voice is still awesome!! I’m glad to see WASP on the road again. I was 9 years old when Wild Child came out. I’d my dad knew I was listening to this he would’ve kicked my ass 😂
Yes.. Roy Orbison had a love child with Rosanne Barr but you gotta give him his due. He still sounds pretty good for how long he's been at it. To be fair also wasp was never a "hair band". They had some of the visual cues but they actually rocked. Same with ratt is ways.. they got lumped in and had some looks in common but they rocked.
I saw WASP live in Tourin in the far 1986 (don’t remember exactly) during Iron Maiden Somewhere in time tour like Support band … great concert … unforgettable B. L. … and more …❤
We (old metalheads) must face it: the majority of heavy rockers are just fading away. From the end of the '60s to the middle of the '70s, the bands with the N.W.O.B.H. M. (1979 to 1985)movement are disappearing fast. Few of the bands remain active, but some of the members of those bands are at the end of their careers. Sad but true.
When Blackie was making his earnest speech about his doctors, was anyone else imagining him breaking into 'I don't need no doctor' or is that just me...?! lol.
Same
No I thought he was going to sing I don't need no doctor
I was waiting for it.
I think that’s the joke right here
I thought the exact same thing😂👍🏼
Please tell Blackie that this "wild child jam sesson" is fantastic: LIVE & TRUE...I missed that real live experience for many years at his concerts. We all know how Blackie sounds on records...but in our last years on earth we want to hear you LIVE Blackie!
Nice looking guitar😁😁🤘🤘👍👍🖖🖖🖐🖐😊😊
Thank you Blackie🎉
Im going to be in the nursing home with mobile scooter mosh pits.
ROCK N ROLL IN A PURE FORM.....
Looks like Roy Orbison from Hell
😂😂😂
And Elvis.
Or fat Elvis with longer hair… 😂
😂
That's messed up mate...but sadly after seeing this post I can't not see Blackie as a demonic Roy orbison so you sadly may be on to something lol😂
This. THIS. Right here. Should dispel any myths if this dude still has it. This mofo needs nothing. Now the band is indeed using enhancement at times. But Blackie still has the voice and can still hit the notes. He just proved it.
I've never been a huge WASP fan, but Blackie is a talented dude.
On an other vid someone commented he was lip syncing. This puts that BS to rest.
He admits on Eddie Trunk the show is on tape
@@listerine414. They use enhancement on chorus', chants, etc. I'm against all that but everybody's doing it now. But you heard for yourself he can still hit the notes. That's what I meant my point to be.
@@mr.c8033 yes I did. And he will be 69 in a few weeks. I am impressed.
What Blackie just did was done with purpose. He just gave a middle finger to everyone that says he can't sing and it's all tracks.
so true!!!
😂idk. That 'scream' note?! Kinda made my dog run out the room 😂
Who says Blackie can't sing? Love the raw emotion of Blackie. One of the best voices in any category.👍
this had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with backing tracks?!??
@@leavemealone8336 oh but it does!!
You know what I respect the most from WASP in this video? They’re playing live. No BS; it’s live. And actually that’s saying a lot nowadays. Blackie’s voice sounds great.
He used RIDICULOUS amounts of tracks on the last US tour. I went to 2 shows on that tour. He was not singing "The Flame" live.
There was tracks here too but it was good@stephenmystery8313
Ohhhh fkkkking yessss. One of my Favorite Band as a Teenager in early 1980s. Yes ,we geting older and Looping that way, but we dont have to hide the scarfs Our life had given to us over all those years.

Ооооо, великий Блэки! Снимаю шляпу перед вашем творчеством вот уже как 40 лет! 👍🤘😁
🤝
Совершенно согласен!!!!! Вот уже 40 лет непревзойденный вокал Блэки радует душу!😊
I like Blackie 👍
He's a good man
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Pozdro
So many good memories with this music from my childhood🤟🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Blackie Lawless is pure Rock n Roll !!!!👍🤘
W.A.S.P. Forever !!!
Blackie get better soon buddy. You know lot of this younger generation don’t get hard work and dedication and working through pain. Prime example right there. Rock on Blackie!
Hot damn Blackie still got those pipes!
Hot take: I thought Blackie's "experiment" to Wild child at the beginning was good. Obviously I prefer the whole song, and it's a simple experiment to it. It's simple, but I like it. W Blackie.
Still got a killer voice!!!!!
Way better then vince neal or steven pearcy
What a voice one of the best
Great Voice no Backing Track !
Yes there are backing tracks during every WASP show. No during this song performance but Blackie has openly said that he does.
Thanks for sharing this Awesome video 🤘 Blackie Lawless fanpage
Sharing.
Blackie is a rock legend
I got the debut W.A.S.P. album in 1984 when I was 23 and I played it relentlessly (it might've played a factor in my first marriage failing) but now fast forward 40 years and I'm 63 and I have tickets to see W.A.S.P. in November in Orlando and incredibly it's the 40th anniversary of the debut album and they're gonna play it from start to finish...

Cool ! I am going to the Orlando show as well 🤘
Chris should be in the stage too 😊
Got the first album on cassette back in the 80's...Woolworths in the U.K.
I was 14 and all I can say is f like a beast. Blind in texas and lets see if i can remember any off top of my head. L O V E all I need ....
Dueling leads Chris Holmes & Randy Piper ..
w.a.s.p is a great band.
Now that was bad ass! What a set of pipes on Blackie after all these years. Get well buddy! Hopefully a new album is in the works.
That is some awesome singing. Hands down. Nobody from that genre who's been there four decades can beat him.
Blackie rules but noone has sustained their vocal abilities better over multiple decades like Bruce Dickinson.
@@ghastlynavigator Bruce Dickenson is a legend, but check out Eric Adams from Manowar over the years.
Und was ist mit Dave MenketiY&T dieser Mann hat wircklich noch den Echten Power für sein Alter 👍😂😹😹🙋🇨🇭🎸🦘
@@ghastlynavigatorLol 😅😅😅😅 ?????Diano is way better 😅
Thank you for all the years Blackie!! You still got it brother! Get well!!
He doesn't need any backing tracks to help..his voice is still awesome...one of a few!!
That's why it's so confusing he lip syncs on the tours. The one off festivals he does them live.
so why he wont sing whole concert...?
@@jami2629 Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe his voice wouldn't hold up across a full tour if he did it all live.
@@kooldude1992 yes half concert playpack i think
@@jami2629back up vocals not playback,
As Blackie said, it was an experiment. Certainly different, but it did not suck❣️
wasp kicks ass
Still got a great voice

You are a rockstar! You’re living the dream mate!
@@stevenfairclough5745 Thank you very much, buddy!🤝 I won't stop, I have great guides!)And Blackie Lawless is one of them!
Блэки дал мне завоевать жену когда она уже сказала нет - Keep Holding On ) но и это уже в прошлом )
He still sounds exactly the same as 40 years ago . Outstanding!😊
Saw them 2 years ago ..Almost ..Since YEARS AND YEARS i have a goos bumps while listening to WILD CHILD THE IDOL and many many others 🔥🔥
Holy HELL Blackie can sing unbelievable today. Major Props for him!!
I don't like the idea of playing the video on stage, that was 38 years ago. I think it's kinda' disrespectful to the current members.
But we know Blackie is all about Blackie.
Because WASP is Blackie and always has been.
@@robcritelli4255yep. Blackie made wasp. Everybody can play a guitar/drums to a standard but absolutely NOBODY else has those unique pipes.
I saw em with iron maiden in the late 80s
Killer show!!!⚔️🇺🇲✌🏻☠️
That was a great tour. Piece of Mind 🤘
Thanks for uploading. Great to watch.
Me dar um orgulho absurdo ver o Aquiles Priester dominando as baquetas do wasp uma das maiores bandas de hardrock de todos os tempos
He looks like Elvis with a wig
Still an impressive voice, otherwise.........
Man up there with a busted up back still doing what he loves and still providing for the fans that is respect right there
Oh yes!
As BL says... "There goes another satisfied customer"
Love Blackie but he's looking ridiculous with those boots - a pair of black combat boots and he'd look like a cool old biker. Glad that he still has the amazing voice.
bring tears in my eyes : remember my young life with friends listen wasp in car going to party's
Yes!! riding to the beach in a 68 Mustang blasting Wasp!!
Blackie has that haunting sexy recognizable voice...
Why have haunting sexy when you can have hot and handsome as in me lol 😂
@@anthonylove821, What she really means is haunting sexy and $25 million in the bank!
No one sounds like him - he actually sounds more wicked than any black metal singer IMO.
Blackies voice always reminded me of Stevie Knicks, but with his own twist
I’ll have to admit for as old as he is he still sounds pretty damn good. I just happened to across this video. I used to listen to wasp all the time when I was younger and every now and then something will pop up on Spotify, but I didn’t know they still toured and that was still around.🤷🏼♂️ Sucks about his back😱 this freaking song takes me back to the eighth grade😂 I remember buying this cassette👊🔥

I thought it was okay, appropriate.
Blackie, you are the man!
I love Blackie❤❤❤❤ Been a WASP fan since the beginning!
wow i blacky looks so different now then a few years ago!!he put a lot of weight on now and a bad haircut for sure!his voice still sounds good but him sitting on a chair,its rough to see him like that!!
He was born in 1956...
Grande Blackie!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
'Experimet' sounds like acoustic version of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell".
Your right! And that was the best song Ive heard of Billy !! ua-cam.com/video/m0JImKXjtaA/v-deo.html
20 years ago I thought wasp were relics to never be heard from again, now here we are and they sound great
Wow, Blackie's voice stills sounds as great as ever. I've only ever seen WASP live once, around 1992 at the legendary Marquee Club here in London on the Crimson Idol tour. That album is still one of my all time favourites. Thanks for posting this great footage.
Nádhera. Škoda že nebude vystupovat Blackie Lawleess v Praze. ČR. ❤
jupp§ get better Blackie! Nostalgia gets strong when I listen to Wasp. I was a teenager during the 80s. Wasp was the next big thing for me after Kiss
What a powerful voice, Blackie, awsome, love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine how cool it would be if Chris Holmes was up there. Wishful thinking 🤘
That is a great thought!
I love this version of Wild Child an all album of all the classics played like this would be awesome get it on disc it will definitely sell 😊😊
As someone with vertebral problems I feel for ya Blackie.
WASP is still kicking🔥🔥
It was amazing ❣️
It’s not the age.. it’s the mileage…. Give them hell Blackie…..
Saw motley last year, wish l hadnt, missed WASP, wish l hadnt, blackie is firing
Genius.....make it sound like a really terrible version 1st, then kick into your average version, sounds great

I'll recognise his voice from the dozen of thousands
Aquilies Priester on Drums...❤😊
And the crowd goes........................... Mild
Voice still good
His playing in the beginning reminds me of Neil Young's tracks from the movie Dead Man.
Jesus....I've been a fan of WASP since the beginning....and yes everyone gets old......but holy hell Blackie looks just like Elvis just before he croaked
Its sad.you must retire at some point.you must face reality
Absolutely fantastic! Great vocals still
Interesting to see the drummer playing a DW kit yet with Mapex front heads….
chris blackie WASP 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Blackie is still kicking ass!
Wow, didn't see this coming. Blew me away.
Blackie is my Elvis
Blackie just reminded everyone he has vast talent, this was a cool intro.
such a euphoric song, he still has it!
What a hero! 😉
Sitting and rocking.
What a shame the younger generation can't appreciate that .
Amazing vocalist. Blackie will live forever.
The best part of this is the band. Guitar player sings great harmonies.
Amazing voice
Cuanto suma Aquiles Priester, es un monstruo, con ese talento da la talla donde sea
No para Dream Theater

I came here cos I just wanna listen to his drumming.
Blackie lawless still Rocking no matter what. Nothing stops him.
Blackie is a metal soul. Still standing and killing it.
We (old metalheads) must face it: the majority of heavy rockers are just fading away. From the end of the '60s to the middle of the '70s, the bands with the N.W.O.B.H. M. (1979 to 1985)movement are disappearing fast. Few of the bands remain active, but some of the members of those bands are at the end of their careers. Sad but true.
They are clearly using tracks for the backing vocals and the choruses, but most of the lead vocals appear to be live. At least there's that.
Blackie still sounds great at his age! Much more than can be said for many others from the 80’s
