Holmes shaking the guitar 🎸 up high still gives me chilllllsssss so freaking classic hard rock and great reaction young lady keep rocking it was a banger
Its so cool to see you get so excited about 80's music. A lot of people would just laugh and say it's horrible but you are obviously extremely open minded. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@ripvanwinkle2002 Nice. In fact, it was my first "real" rock concert. I just got into metal and wanted to see a triple feature with Anthrax, Overkill and Agent Steel a few month before, but I was not allowed too, and the show was to far away to sneak out of the house and go there by bike or train. My parents only allowed me to go to see Maiden, because my friends dad agreed to drive us to the venue. And he waited in the parking lot the whole show. Pretty cool move from his part in retrospective, as we where only 14 or 15 back than.
WASP was a shock rock band think Alice Cooper etc. their concert album “live in the raw” was recorded on the final night of their 1986-87 world tour. I recommend “I wanna be somebody” and “I’m blind in Texas”. Most of the songs they are known for have an impressive amount of cussing.
W.A.S.P. has such a unique sound and have some superb tracks you should check out. 'I wanna be somebody', 'Forever Free', 'Mean Man' or 'the Real Me' are some cracking follow ups to Wild Child for you 👍
W.A.S.P. are incredible. Beyond this song they became much deeper and are, by far, musically the best of all of the 80s Sunset Strip bands. And they have never stopped putting out amazing albums.
Kids today will never understand the greatness of the decade of decadence.....80s!!!! Seeing bands live that have this energy in their shows and music will never be replicated.
Still today after all these decades the sound of Blackie's voice is like a voice crying in the wilderness. So much passion and ferocity. I loved WASP from the very beginning!
I totally forgot about Lawless' sawbladed bracers...lol...this brings back memories of them playing live...opening up for bands like Quiet Riot, Ratt & Motley Crue. 80s tunes Great White : Rock Me Tesla : Modern Day Cowboy Def Leppard : Pyromania Ratt: Round n Round Scorpions : The Zoo Motley Crue : Smoking in the Boys Room Billy Squire : Lonely is The Night Fastway : Say what you Will Quiet Riot : Bang Your Head April Wine : I like to Rock ACDC : Shook Me All Night Kiss : Lick it Up Krokus : Screaming in the Night Accept : Balls to the Wall Montrose : Rock Candy Judias Priest : Got another thing Coming Ozzy Osborne : Flying High Again Molly Hatchet : Dreams I'll Never See Van Hallen : Running with the Devil Warrant : Cherry Pie Poison : Nothin' But a Good Time Whitesnake : Still of the Night Dio : Holy Diver Cinderella : Shake Me Skid Row : 18 and Life Again Faster Pussycat : Slip of the tongue L.A. Guns : Never Enough Kix : Blow My Fuse
I had never listened to WASP but when i was in high school in the 80s I got RIP, Metal Edge and every other metal magazine every single month. One of those magazines printed lyrics to songs in the back. One month this song was printed and, being a lyricist myself, I loved this song and immediately went to listen to it and other WASP songs.
Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom was known as the Wild Child and it is a reference to how this song inspired him growing up to be the rock star he became.
Blackie just knew how to deliver a song, man. Notice he's the primarily bass player. Recommendations: "Forever Free" for their almost power ballad. "I Don't Need No Doctor", a great cover song. "Blind In Texas". "Inside the Electric Circus", "I Wanna Be Somebody".
Yes darling it is the 80's, best time to be alive!!! You were still dancing amongst the stars my dear. Had a chance to to see Blackie and the band in 88. It's funny he does not sound anything like his singing. Kind of a deep regular voice but man he can sing. If you want to keep the W.A.S.P. vibe going check out "riding the wind forever free." Beautiful ballad.🤘🌹
Underrated is the word that keeps surfacing whenever you see WASP mentioned. Some of their lesser known songs are underrated as well. Honestly these guys were big but they should have been bigger. They really knew how to put on a show too - probably better than anyone but it did get a bit too theatrical with whipping naked ladies, assless chaps and meat and stuff LOL. Try to watch one of their concerts from London. They also hired a new basist after this was made called Johnny Rodd, who was pretty hilarious too. Drinking problems, women problems, artistic differences, politicians and community groups trying to ban their music - this band had it all tugging at the seems though. Be sure to check out some of their other stuff and don't be afraid to go off the beaten path a little. I think some of their "most popular" songs were more about poppy tunes and film clips, but they are the least interesting.
I saw WASP in a small hall in 1984 where there only about 300 people tops, and they only had their 1st album released. If that weren't enough, there were a couple other bands that played that night too. Armored Saint on their March of the Saint tour, and Metallica on their Ride the Lightning tour (back when they were good). My favorite part of the show was seeing Blackie. He has always been my favorite musician since I discovered the band.
Hi Millie so glad someone has checked out this amazing band I saw them back in 89 on the Headless Children tour at Hammersmith Odean London still have the ticket programme and t-shirt from that tour, anyway in my opinion Blackie Lawless is a very underrated singer/songwriter and doesn't get the recognition he deserves, also this song is from there second album The Last Command, which happens to be the best album they ever released in my humble opinion, and if you do check anymore from this album I'd suggest either Widowmaker or Cries in the Night, but like I said they have many brilliant songs to choose from.
Great song choice. We need more of these 80's bands. Another great song from this band is Inside the Electric Circus. Probably my favorite song from this band. Blackie Lawless had one of the most unique voices from that era. More please.
Yes, this was mid 80s. Their first couple of albums were heavy and very good rock and roll. Their first two song Single with Animal (F**k Like A Beast) and Show No Mercy was just raw and insane! This was the best incarnation of WASP with Blackie Lawless on Bass, Randy Piper on lead Guitar, Chris Holmes on Rhythm Guitar, and Steve Riley (or Tony Richards earlier) on Drums. They were never as good after Blackie moved to Rhythm Guitar, Chris moved to Lead Guitar, and Randy was no longer in the band.
W.A.S.P. is amazing and they have a lot of classics from the 80's, but if you really want to take a trip check out their KFD album from the late 90's. I've been a metalhead more than 4 decades and The Horror is probably the darkest song I've ever heard P. S. NSFW warning if you do
For more W.A.S.P., try "L.O.V.E.machine" - with the promo video, that's suitably risqué by today's standards 🙂Another 80s heavy party rock banger is "Rock you" by Canadian legends Helix. Or, why not some girl power and try "All we are" by Warlock, fronted by the one and only metal queen herself, Doro Pesch? 🤘All pure 80s magic. There are in fact loads of superb 80s sounding, retro if you will, bands of this sort in our own day and age. Among the best are Sweden's Hardcore Superstar and Sister Sin.
Blackie Lawless one of the most under rated writers and singers of the 80's
Lawless is an extremely underrated vocalist. I still have a wasp concert shirt from 1983 or 1984
And an underrated songwriter.
What? He's ever been underestimated
100% agreed.
Up there with the top metal gods 🤘
One song. Sleeping in the fire.
Agree 100%
"I wanna be somebody" is another banger from this band!
And he still sounds fantastic at 67 years old.
Yes!
He has been lip syncing for many years. But his lip syncing sounds very good.
He's singing on a backingtrack
@robinasdal9844 videos of most artists are lip syncing & there's a backing tracks. He still had to sing it in the first place.
i was at Tons of rock in Norway this year, WASP sounded fucking amazing
Holmes shaking the guitar 🎸 up high still gives me chilllllsssss so freaking classic hard rock and great reaction young lady keep rocking it was a banger
been talking to Randy (piper) and chris on Facebook recently
Its so cool to see you get so excited about 80's music. A lot of people would just laugh and say it's horrible but you are obviously extremely open minded. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A lot of people loves 80s classics, in fact , i found my moms cds with judas priest and fall in love from first riffs)))))
Saw W.A.S.P. in 1986 as support for Iron Maiden on the "Somewhere In Time"-Tour. Great show, they definitely delivered.
saw the same show!! 🤘
@@ripvanwinkle2002 Nice. In fact, it was my first "real" rock concert. I just got into metal and wanted to see a triple feature with Anthrax, Overkill and Agent Steel a few month before, but I was not allowed too, and the show was to far away to sneak out of the house and go there by bike or train.

Waysted opened for them in Madison, WI ... would have rather seen WASP
Check out Manamal next

Such a cool video!

Wasp is Metal from start to finish and this one wild child fits every one who has a that wild child in them🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🔊🔊🔉🔉🔊🔉🔉☠️🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What’s on your mind
W.A.S.P. are incredible.

The first two albums are phenomenal!😊
Exactly,.Everything else they did was SUB PAR~
My favorite band in high school. Late 80's.🤘
I WORE OUT my WASP and Maiden cassettes! Good times
Their album "The Crimson Idol" is a must listen

You just earned yourself a new sub, no other youtubers cover Wasp! I'm glad you did!
The entire album is good.

Great reaction here Millie! Keep up the good work!
Blackie is highly underrated as an artist and writer been a Fan since the very early Circus,Sister Days and still am 40 years+ later

Listen to „Sleeping (in the Fire)“.
Im listen to WASP since the 1986-87 World Tour. Underrated since decades.
I had never listened to WASP but when i was in high school in the 80s I got RIP, Metal Edge and every other metal magazine every single month. One of those magazines printed lyrics to songs in the back. One month this song was printed and, being a lyricist myself, I loved this song and immediately went to listen to it and other WASP songs.
W.A.S.P. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants- "Love Machine" is a must listen!!!
We ain't sure pal is what blackie says it stands for
Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom was known as the Wild Child and it is a reference to how this song inspired him growing up to be the rock star he became.
yeah, honey, that’s about how we responded to both the song and the choppers. Thank you for enjoying a slice of our generation.
EVERY SONG on their first 2 albums was total FIRE~💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥~
They have an endless amount of really good ones. Check out "I Wanna Be Somebody"..
I love this song!
R.I.P. Drummer Steve Riley \m/
Blackie just knew how to deliver a song, man. Notice he's the primarily bass player.
Recommendations: "Forever Free" for their almost power ballad. "I Don't Need No Doctor", a great cover song. "Blind In Texas". "Inside the Electric Circus", "I Wanna Be Somebody".
he's primarily a guitar player, but played bass out of necessity in these years
There is another version with a longer solo...you would really enjoy it.
Blackie is STOOPID talented...dude can write, produce, engineer, sing, and perform with the best of em.
W.A.S.P. JUST FLAT OUT ROCK !!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
a friend of mine. she had a photo shoot with them in the 80s for metal hammer magazine.
Blackie Lawless voice and songwriting is so so underrated
i will see WASP in a month, at Sweden Rock Festival. I am super excited!
Yes darling it is the 80's, best time to be alive!!! You were still dancing amongst the stars my dear. Had a chance to to see Blackie and the band in 88.

You need to listen to their song "Animal", "I Want To Be Somebody", & anything from the Crimson Idol album.
They are a really good band, the essence of 80's and not that well known.
Other memorable examples of their songs are Hold On To My Heart, or The Idol
I think I'm in love here lol.
*MORE* WASP Please ❤😎🤘
That cat is adorable!
Awesome!
an unique rare voice on a great song thunderhead is a tip too be a wild child
Blackie Lawless is unforgettable ❤
music gold
80's music is still the best.

the early stuff was great..and on the crimson idol, you can really see the depth of Blackies writing and singing. it was a masterpiece.

Oh man, I'm having serious flashbacks to early high school and the first times I got drunk, got high and smoked Marlboro reds.
Millie listening WASP. Nice.
You should give wasp gothika a listen too, it's a great cd
I grew up on this music...WASP - The Headless Children
Live in the raw version kicks ass !!! 🤘
You need to check out Arena of Pleasure , especially the music video , so much talent, charisma and everything in between
80’s was so much fun.
The whole of the Last Command album rules, all killer - no filler !
PLEASE TRY TO REACT TO "I WANNA BE SOMEBODY" and also their ballad song "HOLD ON TO MY HEART" BY WASP
Rock on my friend 😎🤘
W.A.S.P. will bring out the inner animal in anybody.
INFECTIOUS~
Oh. By the way. MUST WATCH...W.A.S.P. "The FLAME". LIVE in Irvine 1984....MUST...
W.A.S.P. 🤘🤘🤘
L.O.V.E. machine by WASP.
You've got to do more W.A.S.P
Favorite WASP song
You should try W.A.S.P. The Idol - it's fab!
Checkout The Crimson Idol , WASP masterpiece album, The Song Chainsaw Charlie is insane.
Listen to F#@K LIKE A BEAST, by WASP. A must listen!! 😊
Yes, this was mid 80s. Their first couple of albums were heavy and very good rock and roll. Their first two song Single with Animal (F**k Like A Beast) and Show No Mercy was just raw and insane!

😎👍
great reation
The first concert I ever went to was WASP 1985 meadowlands NJ
battle beast made great cover on this song
W.A.S.P. Headless Children
W.A.S.P. is amazing and they have a lot of classics from the 80's, but if you really want to take a trip check out their KFD album from the late 90's. I've been a metalhead more than 4 decades and The Horror is probably the darkest song I've ever heard
P. S. NSFW warning if you do
Listen to Babylons Burning 🔥 (the official video) I highly recommend it 👍
Try the song, "blind in texas". It's killer!

Esto es heavy metal y lo demás tonterías
WASP 👍
Animal f..k like a beast with different lyrics.

I have loved these guys since your parents were thoughts... You have to do more WASP
For more W.A.S.P., try "L.O.V.E.machine" - with the promo video, that's suitably risqué by today's standards 🙂Another 80s heavy party rock banger is "Rock you" by Canadian legends Helix.

More wasp!

You need to hear ratt and trickster

WASP are a lost great band. Blackie Lawless had a superb voice and they wrote some killer riffs.
Totally do it! 80's night would be awesome
You need to check out restless gypsy
You need to check out L.O.V.E. Machine and I Wanna Be Somebody. as well.
Hey! You should check out "I Wanna Be Somebody" by W.A.S.P.
