I literally just discovered this song from watching mtv. They have a channel that just plays vids again. They just call it “mtv classic” now. I think on Saturdays they do headbangers ball, im not sure if they do it every Saturday or what I haven’t seen it on in a while
@@lisawaters5703 It truly is. Funny thing is the dirt actually got me into 80's rock. I watched the movie out of interest and got hooked on mötley crüe so i decided to explore more music from this era and i am not disappointed one bit.
@Jonathan Williams When I first heard 'Falling Apart' I wondered what kind of hillbilly s*** is this. Once it kicked in I loved it. I like 95% of my music faster paced (wild side, looks that kill, heatseeker, body talk, dance, etc.) Slower songs I like are Widowmaker, Dream Evil, Night Songs and one of my favorites is Last In In Line.
I‘d rather call them US Metal of Shock Rock, and with albums like „Headless children“ or „Crimson Idol“ just classic Metal. W.A.S.P. are so much more than the Mötley Crue / Poison / Ratt type of band
Im 29 & i recently found out about 80's heavy metal about 2 years ago . There's no turning back now . Fuck that Hip-Hop shit i used to listen to , Heavy Metal is my life now .
@righttoliberty1 nahh that's screamo to me man! You can tell what's heavy metal just hearing it and I'm sorry hell nah not even close to heavy metal smh lol just my opinion tho that's the type of "rock" that made rocknroll go downhill everybody into that screamo, deathcore stuff Is the reason why rock and roll isn't as popular as it anymore doesnt sound like how rock used to be again my opinion
I have been a freaking W.A.S.P., since they first came out in the early 80's . I'm 55 now ,and still listen to them like it was yesterday when they first came out. There's no other band like W.A.S.P. I have been following them all thus years and all the musicians have played in this band. And I have to add R.I.P. Mr .Frankie Bannali 🙏

If they only toned down the whole S&M / Satan gimmick sooner, they could have really blown up with the likes of Motley Crue and some other big names. But Blackie had his own cartoonish vision for the band and he stuck with it.
One of the most under rated bands ever.. they were the Band.. they killed every other band.. their self titled album was the one.. and the last command was perfection!
@@maxxxmodelz4061 Satanic ?? they newer was satanic it was the christians that did say they was satanic just like they did say Black sabbath was satanic just likt they did say Ledzeppelin was satanic and you could here a prayser to satan if you playd starway to heaven backwards nah they was newer a satanic band
Blackie is phenomenal, such a treasure to the metal community! All of the WASP band members are extremely talented musicians! Thank you for all of the excellent and legendary music!
Last summer I came from L.A. driving back to Houston and during my ride through Arizona I was blasting this song doing 100 miles per hour...little did I know I was being pursued by a highway patrol for 9 miles...That was the best $500 ticket ever.
I get it!! This music just makes you high and you become entranced by the hard energy. I take it the Patrol officer was not an 80's hard rock fan. If he/she was..they would have totally understood! Great story! You will have to listen to Neil Diamond next time...save WASP or others like it for some where else!
God I miss the early days of W.A.S.P. in LA. Their shows kicked butt and had everything from naked girls, blood, fire, raw meat being thrown into the crowd, fireworks shooting out of blackie's pants, and non-stop head banging action from Chris. Of course that was back in the days when the venues were small and you still could talk with the band before they went on. Those were great days.
W.A.S.P were the kings of shock rock in metal in the 80's. They weren't one dimensional either, blackie lawless wrote the best ballads in rock, and the musical genius he was he gave us the masterpiece that was Crimson Idol

Good for u bruh, I've met kids at their 6-7yrs who love loudness wasp n groups like that and they're not telling everyone, just enjoying the music, the way that must be

Back in the day I was more into classic rock. Now however I'm getting more into bands from the 80's that I missed the first time around. A lot of these songs are new to me so it's a journey of discovery as much as it is nostalgia.
Saw these in the Victoria Hall Hanley on their last command tour. Brings back good memories of being young all those years ago and having long hair and no worries. Went with a good friend who has just passed away of covid while working as a porter in the Royal Stoke Hospital aged 52. Here’s to you Adam, good times back then. RIP my friend.
I'm 70, and i love WASP, MOTORHEAD, METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN but the loved that group's beucose i love music of 60', 70' i love Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cream, Blind Faith, Wishbone Ash, Yes, Colloseum, Thin Lizzy, Allman

Loved this band way back in the 80's but just stopped listening to them a whole stack of bands I deeply loved from my early years... Don't know why.... I'm so glad I've found them again... Blackie still sounds fkn EPIC!
I love how energetic they are in this video. I got to see WASP in the late 80s and it was f***ing mental. They're all quite big lads and honestly Chris Holmes' guitar looked like a kid's toy in his hands LOL.
"Wild Child" I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain A creature of love and I can't be tamed I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin No, he'll never ever touch you like I do So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I want you Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you Run away 'cause I wanna know Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find That you run to me when he lets you go 'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me Cause I want what you do I want you A naked heat machine, I want your love When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I want you
2023 allmost over 2024 right around the corner. Still love this. What a time it was. What happened to time. I'm 56 years old now. Just can't believe the time span. Freaks me out. I'm still that young teenager in my head, haven't changed. But everything else has. I feel like a lost soul.
In that case there are A LOT of lost souls out there. I'm 52, and I went to a local show the other day, small town i Denmark, where VLTIMAS played. At least half the crowd was my age, still horns up with a beer in the other hand 🤘🖤
Just heard this live in Tampere, Finland on Friday 12 th. and I wanna be somebody and was amazed how on earth not only band was very good but also Blackie and his voice was still full of power and dynamics and still he managed to keep the tune correctly.
Сегодня утром еду по Минску, и играет по Радио-Столица вот этот трек!!! Сразу настроение улетает в космос, громкость на максимум, все проблемы забываются, ибо играет ДИКО КЛАССНАЯ МУЗЫКА, ТАКАЯ МУЗЫКА, КОТОРОЙ БОЛЬШЕ НЕ БУДЕТ!!!)) Воистину 80-е лучшее время в истории музыки. А песню-однозначно в плейлист!!)
Блин, такая классная песня и такой тупой клип. )) Восьмидесятые. Эх, эх. Детство. Такое всё наивное. Музыканты дети и фаны дети. Дети играли для детей. От души.
It was Guns and Roses, Def Leppard - then, Iron Maiden that topped the Summer headings back a few years ago in Toronto, Canada. All 3 bands played for one night.
Always loved this song. WASP was so under rated. I saw them in Denver CO when they opened for KISS. Still have a Chris Holmes guitar pick. Thanks Chris
No offense, but I remember what KISS was like in 1986, and I can't think of many bands that COULDN'T have stolen the show from them. Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick both deserved to be in a better band at that point.
I get to see them tonight at 8 in deep elum Dallas tx I've been waiting 35 yrs to see them hell yes blackie lawless you rock brother an it's my honor to see the show tonight mllhr

This song brings back happy memories of going to gigs to see rock outfits like the band Knightrider from Glasgow, who played music similar to WASP. Blissful memories of an era when rock ruled the airwaves and great songs like this were on daytime radio all the time. Guys like Blackie Lawless and Knightrrider's frontman Tam Toye were singers of unique talent. We will always revere them. Heroes, one and all.

This album reminds me of when I would drive up tho the farm to work on the cabin and would have playing over and over on tape deck in my Jeep. Love this band
same with my dad he was my age when these guys were rocking. I'm 14 now and I've loved bands like wasp since I was 7 I'll never get bored of heavy metal
Saw W.A.S.P once, with my pops, and it will only be once. It was at a nice venue, Starland Ballroom. I cant think of seeing them again, and it topping the previous show. There is never a time we hear their songs, and not think of Blackie running around stage, and riding elvis, and back to stage.
Wasp was the most epic band of the 80s. I remember hearing Scream until you like it in Ghoulies for the first time on 2. I then looked the band up, and I was hooked for life. They were exactly what I was looking for. And Blackie Lawless' voice is just something else!
I heard he suffered from a rare genetic disorder that calcified his connective tissue, and when he was in his teens his spine fused. He suffered an unfortunate accident in high school playing football, and he broke many of his vertebra. The doctors used what was then pioneering surgery to straighten his spine with with steel joists, hence his upright gait. Actually I just made all of that up.
This never gets old. Remember when MTV was actually about music and music videos?!

I remember that very well.
@@TRG29338 yes they do but mtv is now all about realty shows and less about the music

@@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998 I remember MTV, Martha Quinn was my favorite or 'Downtown Julie Brown'
I'm a millennial and i've only discovered the beauty of 80's rock about a year ago. There is no turning back, i only listen to those bands now.
WASP is one of the best, yeah. I keep listening to it myself from time to time, yet I am into completely different music genre now.

When real music was made, with real instruments, real voices, real artists.
And “KISS” means “Knights in Satan Service“ and “AC/DC” means either “Anti-Christ/Devil Child” or “After Christ/Devil Comes.” 🙄
Real music is still made with real instruments with real voices by real artists. There are more great rock and metal bands now than ever.

My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you
Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you
Run away 'cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you
Thank you
Back in the day I was more into classic rock. Now however I'm getting more into bands from the 80's that I missed the first time around. A lot of these songs are new to me so it's a journey of discovery as much as it is nostalgia.
That’s me, age 64
Wow, sounds like me.'In the day' it was good times
Never be another era of metal like back in the day, still rockin today and love it!!!!
Me feel the same..keep it wild..keep rockin 🇬🇧🇬🇧♠️♠️🖤🖤🇱🇷☠️
👍😋🇪🇦
Love this song. Blackie Lawless is timeless. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Imanoob 👋
Saw these in the Victoria Hall Hanley on their last command tour. Brings back good memories of being young all those years ago and having long hair and no worries. Went with a good friend who has just passed away of covid while working as a porter in the Royal Stoke Hospital aged 52. Here’s to you Adam, good times back then. RIP my friend.
Oh man I'd love to go back to the days when these dudes were huge.
They were never huge.
@@elpuko7968 they were from 84 to about 86
I'm 70, and i love WASP, MOTORHEAD, METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN but the loved that group's beucose i love music of 60', 70' i love Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cream, Blind Faith, Wishbone Ash, Yes, Colloseum, Thin Lizzy, Allman
i also like Rainbow
Pure 80s Badassery right Here. Blackie Lawless's voice is one of the most awesome voices in metal.
I'm 24 and 70s and 80s music is about all I listen to
It's the only rock worth listening to imo.
David, you' ve got an excellent musical taste!!!! Congratulations!!!!💪💪💪💪💪💪
Man, this takes me back! I loved, loved, loved W.A.S.P.! Had every album, and watched their videos all the time as a kid.

Fantastic voice and full echoed sounds on instruments!
Thats why we loved Wasp at the 80's
Loved this band way back in the 80's but just stopped listening to them a whole stack of bands I deeply loved from my early years... Don't know why.... I'm so glad I've found them again... Blackie still sounds fkn EPIC!
one of the coolest metal bands of the 80’s, i’ll always say they were so underrated
I love how energetic they are in this video. I got to see WASP in the late 80s and it was f***ing mental. They're all quite big lads and honestly Chris Holmes' guitar looked like a kid's toy in his hands LOL.
Joan Jett was pretty bad ass too
Saw WASP about 15 years ago in a small bar with about 150 people. They played like there were 20,000 fans there, awesome show!
His vocals could peel paint! Awesome band
Thug Life Death Row Records be coming back. What chew think about that. "Cooking a bird" would be a great song. About cooking a kilo of crack lol 😂
"Wild Child"
I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you
Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you
Run away 'cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you

thxs but I speak english
my brother loved this band, he would have been 63 today, travel well Frankie!
2023 allmost over 2024 right around the corner. Still love this. What a time it was. What happened to time. I'm 56 years old now. Just can't believe the time span. Freaks me out. I'm still that young teenager in my head, haven't changed. But everything else has. I feel like a lost soul.
🤘🤘🤘
In that case there are A LOT of lost souls out there. I'm 52, and I went to a local show the other day, small town i Denmark, where VLTIMAS played. At least half the crowd was my age, still horns up with a beer in the other hand 🤘🖤
2022 and I still listen to this song every day atleast once!! If anyone of you is still here it means you have an awesome choice of songs !
Ur Neighbors must ❤️ u !
@@tamathawalden2037 Wild Child is good but I listen to Widowmaker ALOT
Just heard this live in Tampere, Finland on Friday 12 th. and I wanna be somebody and was amazed how on earth not only band was very good but also Blackie and his voice was still full of power and dynamics and still he managed to keep the tune correctly.
Сегодня утром еду по Минску, и играет по Радио-Столица вот этот трек!!! Сразу настроение улетает в космос, громкость на максимум, все проблемы забываются, ибо играет ДИКО КЛАССНАЯ МУЗЫКА, ТАКАЯ МУЗЫКА, КОТОРОЙ БОЛЬШЕ НЕ БУДЕТ!!!)) Воистину 80-е лучшее время в истории музыки. А песню-однозначно в плейлист!!)

@@viktormakarenko2448 зря так, есть и достойные вещи, могу подсказать, от классики Архиповский, до Пламенева ua-cam.com/video/yw0GEoaseg0/v-deo.html
Some of best memories have W.A.S.P. songs attached to them! I was an 80's metal head.
W.A.S.P. are definitely the heart and soul of heavy metal. f****** spectacular :)
Давно мне надо было поставить лайк. Ребята, не жалейте свои эмоции - эти песни, эти группы, эти времена не повторятся!
Песня детства
Да это культовая группа хули говорить дальше
Anybody who don't love this video is Nobody!!!
Блин, такая классная песня и такой тупой клип. )) Восьмидесятые. Эх, эх. Детство. Такое всё наивное. Музыканты дети и фаны дети. Дети играли для детей. От души.
Inner child finds amplifier machines of electric emotion
I love WASP. I love Blackie Lawless. I saw them once and they opened up for Def Leoppard ... and KISS.
Def Leppard *
It was Guns and Roses, Def Leppard - then, Iron Maiden that topped the Summer headings back a few years ago in Toronto, Canada. All 3 bands played for one night.
NICE but all i wanted to say was that it isnt Def Leoppard because it is Def Leppard
I saw WASP many years ago. They kicked serious ass.
i saw wasp n kiss bacl in the 80ies
Cold shivers goose bumps every second the whole song! What a band! Blackie's such a great frontman, his voice seems to pierce right through me.
*This song touched my mother when i played it once, you should've saw the look on her face.*
*An intensely beautiful & Amazing song.*
Why would you play this type of song for your mom lol
@@christopheredwards5598 she was a wild child😁
She was touched by Blackie Lawless. That was the look on her face.
She probably got knocked up to this
Listening in 2019 need more songs like this on the radio .Always a classic Rock on .
Blackie Lawless one of the under rated singers of our age.
@@lindahoeymakers8898 you need to go buy or install utube music it should have all the Wasp albums and songs.
This is definitely one of the all time Best Metal Tunes. I'm 60 now and still get goosebumps
Always loved this song. WASP was so under rated. I saw them in Denver CO when they opened for KISS. Still have a Chris Holmes guitar pick. Thanks Chris
That's awesome they opened for kiss! I can't wait till September to see wasp!
@@christifason2050 I'm jealous! Have fun.
seen them open for KISS in 86 these guys stole the show imo.
No offense, but I remember what KISS was like in 1986, and I can't think of many bands that COULDN'T have stolen the show from them. Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick both deserved to be in a better band at that point.
Christopher C. Exactly
MasterWitchDoctor I saw them in 86 too! Norfolk Virginia
Kiss is shit, WASP all the way
Me too🤘🏾
Rest in peace Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho.
I get to see them tonight at 8 in deep elum Dallas tx I've been waiting 35 yrs to see them hell yes blackie lawless you rock brother an it's my honor to see the show tonight mllhr
I am so lucky to have lived through the 80s and experienced the greatest bands on the planet
It's 2023 and I've had this song as my ringtone for the last 10 years. What else can I say this band is awesome.

2024. W. A. S. P. never dies
How could you not be? This guy is doing whatever the @&$! He wants , awesome!
Эх, помню, на "видике", на "плывущей" кассете, в конце 80-х, но как это было круто. И дискеты зубастые из рук, эх, было впечатляюще и эксклющивно 👌👊😉
У меня не было видика но был магнитофон и кассета w.a.s.p.
@@Георг-б6л у меня тоже не было. Ездил к брату и там смотрел. А на кассете слушал и представлял, как это искрометно 😊
"смотри, у него диски из рук вылезают, смотри какие глаза у него, он как зверь..." 😳
А я на концерте W.A.S.P. в 2015 году в МСК ( рей джаст арена ) в ВИП ложе устроил жуткий дебош по пьяне . Кто там был , знайте , это я устроил 👹! Просто нервы сдали , что увидел в живую своих кумиров .
Жаль, что я не застал те времена)
Когда то это была моя любимая группа и с этой песни всё началось это было в 86г но wasp уже не тот что был раньше всём мире и добра Long live Rock and Roll 🤘😎
This song brings back happy memories of going to gigs to see rock outfits like the band Knightrider from Glasgow, who played music similar to WASP. Blissful memories of an era when rock ruled the airwaves and great songs like this were on daytime radio all the time. Guys like Blackie Lawless and Knightrrider's frontman Tam Toye were singers of unique talent. We will always revere them. Heroes, one and all.
Esta banda es muy importante en la historia del hard rock y heavy metal!!!!!
You can say that again.
Still here April 2... 2024

In malaysia, this song is covered by altered title 'anak liar" by malaysian rock band SOFEA/syj😊
Wasp's songs absolutely motivate me
This album reminds me of when I would drive up tho the farm to work on the cabin and would have playing over and over on tape deck in my Jeep. Love this band
got the albems from the 80s plus cds still playing em i was there back in the 80s now in 2020 im 49 and still into it metal forever
same with my dad he was my age when these guys were rocking. I'm 14 now and I've loved bands like wasp since I was 7 I'll never get bored of heavy metal
Saw W.A.S.P once, with my pops, and it will only be once. It was at a nice venue, Starland Ballroom. I cant think of seeing them again, and it topping the previous show. There is never a time we hear their songs, and not think of Blackie running around stage, and riding elvis, and back to stage.
Who's listening in 2019?
We are!
👂🎶 .... still listening♬😎
YES MEN!
Ахуенно, что говорить.
Hell yeah
Rest in peace Alexi Laiho, the wild child.

One of the best songs ever written 🤟
Agree
Hell yeah! This song just popped into my head today! It’s been about 20 years and now I’m here with you!
2019 and I'm still addicted to classic heavy metal
This brings back great memories cruising late nights on the N side of chi-town.
I really love this song!, brings back a lot of good memories!
Seen them open for Kiss, they were great!!
This music will get played when I get put into the ground. It means so much to me. Some of the first music I ever heard, as a child in the 80s.
Yes I met blackie lawless a few times in Long Beach California he's got one hell of a voice he used to go to his friends on 52nd Street in Long Beach😊
Обожаю эту группу! Определенно☝лучше в своем роде. Мастера металла! 🔥🔥🔥👌👍😎💪💯❤❤❤💥💥💥🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺✌🙏🤝🤙
Согласен !
ВАСП бомба. И, Блеки симпатичен. Пусть дают куда можно. И кому можно...)))
С 19984 г. Фанат😊
Wasp was the most epic band of the 80s. I remember hearing Scream until you like it in Ghoulies for the first time on 2. I then looked the band up, and I was hooked for life. They were exactly what I was looking for. And Blackie Lawless' voice is just something else!
Brilliant! Saw them at Donnington Monsters of Rock 1987 - fantastic. Chris Holmes, Blackie Lawless - what characters. Great days.
One of my favorite bands when I was a teenager! Great band!
I will listen to WASP in 2020 and forever. This music is my soul.
A 80s master piece
I just found this song and now I'm definitely going to listen to more wasp this song is amazing
Check out the songs
Rebel In The F.D.G.
Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)
Blind In Texas
Chainsaw Charlie (Murders In The Rue Morgue)
The most underrated 80's hair/metal band.
the best
The drummer has impeccable posture.
Your comment is so funny...right out of left field!!! A are you a physical therapist or a fellow drummer?
Lindiva Ha, thanks... I'm a fellow drummer. : )
I noticed that also, impressed me to the point of nearly Googling him.
Steve Riley. Would go on to play for L.A. Guns..
I heard he suffered from a rare genetic disorder that calcified his connective tissue, and when he was in his teens his spine fused. He suffered an unfortunate accident in high school playing football, and he broke many of his vertebra. The doctors used what was then pioneering surgery to straighten his spine with with steel joists, hence his upright gait. Actually I just made all of that up.
This video personifies the rockin' free spirit of 80s metal.
