@@bobthebear1246 I never heard of the bitch model. But you would have one I'm sure. Was that your pet name for it considering... well . you know. That must have been why we called you that.
I know. I am so grateful I got to grow up in America in the 70s and 80s, all the great concerts I went to, playing lead guitar in bands on the Sunset strip when I was a teen and in my early twenties. Best time ever. I feel so bad for the younger generation. All they have is their bullshit social networks and Instagram and TikTok and they don't live life outside of their stupid phones. If you wanted to play video games in the 70s or 80s you either had some Atari system as I did and about three games, or you peddled your bike three miles to the arcade or some donut shop with a couple arcade games like Galaga and Joust. That was it. You pretty much had to entertain yourself, read a book, learn guitar, form a band, interact with real human beings. One of the concerts I went to, BTW, was W.A.S.P. at Long Beach Arena with Helix and Krokus opening. One of the best shows, the Electric Circus tour, the final concert. It was recorded for Live...In The Raw. I was in that audience.
I remember hearing when I was younger that Blackie Lawless was Marilyn Manson before Marilyn Manson was a thing. Well I got to be frank. Nothing Manson has ever done will live up to Blackie’s level.
I thought Marilyn Manson was more of a Alice Cooper. Not crossing the actual line. I don’t want to say cleaner but yeah. Blackie Lawless never saw the line. He just went
@@janjep88869 REAL funny considering he's in his 60's, not in a relationship, never been married, has no children. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's closeted.
Unlike Crue, W.A.S.P. never wimped out and discovered their "softer" side. Even their ballads were heavy. I don't even think of them as ballads, but just heavy songs that are a little slower.
Yeah, pretty much everyone at my school listens to shitty radio Latin pop or rap. The ones that listened to metal only listened to slipknot or other nu metal bands. Old school metal is pretty dead with gen z
Superb. I remember the flying plastic bottles of p*ss at Donington only too well. If I recall correctly they had Linzi Drew, the editor of a naughty magazine at the time up on the rack that day too. Great gig - WASP were memorable.
My first experience with Wasp came through a girl older than me by just a few years. She was like no other girl I knew. She was a hard core Wasp fan and hard core sexual young woman driven by Wasp music...Needless to say, it was a very enjoyable experience to say the least.
All these bands through the 80s and 90s have great backstories to how they came about. Majority of these metal bands have these crazy ass stories, its awesome, testament to those eras of music, gone now though, no more, today its manufactured garbage
Unfortunately I was born in the early 90s & couldn't experience prime wasp as they happened, talk about a band with teeth and grit, now you've got political correctness and only partying and other superficial nonsense in music but even back in the day hip-hop has some good messages and warnings and dark stuff that was actually happening in real life. Overall if you want teeth but still rock and roll jams wasp is right there at the top baby
We also had the Crazy… PMRC in the 80’s and Tipper Gore. Watching Dee Snider go before these Crazies of the PMRC was GREAT!!! It would have been even better if he had gone before them with the clothes and the make up! It’s because of THEM… that you find those Warning Stickers on albums.
@@TheCatzMeowMix Dee Snider is the head of the PMRC now. A total quack. Blackie was originally scheduled to have Reee Snider's spot and it's a shame he wasn't able to make it because he would have made way better arguments. The PMRC succeeded.
@@mr.brenman2132 Really??? I hadn’t heard about this! I had seen this when it was televised when Dee Snider went in front of Tipper Gore. I would have LOVED to see Dee Snider in front of Tipper Gore with the Make Up and the Clothes!!!! When I saw it… I thought it was GREAT! Dee Snider… a part of the PMRC now??????? WOW!!!!
@@mr.brenman2132 … I didn’t know that Dee Snider was a Pro Government Authoritarian either. A lot of them are Having to Go Along with what’s going on Because… They might get Blackballed if they Don’t now. I had seen Gene Simmons say once that he Didn’t Like Trump. They don’t want to LOSE EVERYTHING. if they Like Trump. There are times when you will see me say on here… depending on what the subject is… Do you Miss Trump Yet. I had seen Blackie Lawless of Wasp mentioned. I’d never seen them… but I have heard that they throw Raw Meat in the audience. I have to wonder what they would have thought about THAT! Lol.
My nickname in high school, back in the late 80's ( I graduated in 1990) was Blacki ( with no e). I liked W.A.S.P., but wasn't a huge fan. I called myself Blacki because I always wore black. It wasn't called "goth" yet, so I never adhered to that style. I love heavy metal, not emo bullshit or whiny crap like The Cure or (gag!) The Smiths....so I was not goth.....
Wow I never really even cared about your. Theater approach the only thing I got my attention was the musician if you were with and you being a player and a vocalist but it's something I could not ever master in that I've been writing originals since I was in the 7th grade I had a original band doing like 12 songs the minute we got out of school down in the basement always everyday... The reason I came to this channel and created it cuz I wanted to know what's going on with you now buddy Mr blackie and I'm being sincere what's going on with blackie lawless now 2022
Check into this guy Blackie -- he fired his first band just in time to steal ALL their royalties... So none of them were able to be rewarded for contributing to songwriting in that first record. He, like Robbie Robertson (ripped off all members of The Band) Page & Plant, Coverdale and Ian Gilan, like many others -- fired their original band that helped them get there with Top Ten records...And then fire them before they can start collecting royalties. It's a disgusting thing to do. Boycott these thieves!!!
@Geo Sandler Actually, all of this was disproven but you do no research so it's not shocking that a dolt like you supports boycotts. You just like to froth at the mouth for no reason. You have no idea how royalties work clown. Page and Plant never fired anyone. Another lie. If someone has the legal control and ownership over a band then they can fire whoever they want. I'll stay listening to what I want to listen to and you'll stay ignorant. How do you like those apples?
That is total bullshit. Tony and chris were addicts blackie put chris through rehab twice with his own money chris kept screwing up he had to break the ties with them. Chris was paid alot of money for his royalties but he pissed it all away. The bassist now mike duda has been with him for 25 years and doug blair the lead guitarist has been with him for 18 years and i dont know where you got your information from but its bullshit i recommend you dig deeper into the truth.
Aren't contracts very specific. Regardless if you're in the band or not, contracts explicitly state what your share is. Publishing companies must dispurse per said contracts.

Just because the guy claims he came up with the name (which I believe), doesn’t mean he had any part in the musical direction. The material they had was from Blackie and Chris and Randy.
