I really hope no one was hurt in the living/ office space above The Troubadour when they were shooting holes in the ceiling with a shotgun 🙄 Why would you post an interview that is obviously tall tales?
Yes, but he's funny though. Maybe he's a pathological embellisher and Blackie saw right through it and wouldn't have it, we all know that kid at school who just has to tell bigger stories than others for attention.
Lol he’s not slandering him for the sake of slandering, he’s literally telling stories from his personal experiences. Funny how you probably believe every other story told by a musician on this channel
@JimNedCreek I'm not deleting anything. You guys can cry until your heart's content. UA-cam sometimes doesn't show comments if they're too disturbing or offensive, so keep that in mind. FYI, I'm the one who reached out to Niki to get some background on Don Costa. Niki is just telling his story.
I remember seeing don with guys from twisted sister at the rainbow in 84-85. They toured with Iron Maiden and we saw all the guys from wasp in the front row and they left after twisted played
WASP IS #1 for me montreal show 2024 magic,amazing pure wasp all the way ! wasp band whit those musician is the best wasp ever.they are killer priester drum on headless children was like a attack from panzer units best show ever-don't care about other band WASP is WASP
@@MB-oc1nwSaw WASP a few nights ago, and also caught the previous tour in 2022…and the difference was night and day. I think Blackie’s recent spinal surgery gave him a new lease on life.

In other words......"How dare you tell your firsthand personal experience of the hero I don't know, yet still worship!!". Or, in other _other_ words....."Blackie has a *pass* for saying/doing what he wants because W.A.S.P.". You act like it's impossible to both like W.A.S.P. and admit Blackie Lawless is a shitty person. You think if Blackie saw you out in public wearing a W.A.S.P. t-shirt and acting like an asshole he's gonna say "C'mon guys, leave him alone. He's a W.A.S.P. fan!"?
I don't know how I don't know about this cat, Niki Buzz, but he gives an awesome interview. Based on who he played with, the dude had to be a legit player and singer.
I doubt its BS. Too many stories out there about some of these guys. As racist as Chris Homes is, you can't be that surprised that Blackie would be that way too. Hell, not like it's rare these days either.
I worked for JET Records and it was no secret OZZY and Don Costa were lovers . Sharon caught them in the act ! So Ozzy to save his macho image in the homophobic 80's he broke Don's nose !!!! Truth !!!

@ i know nothing about this guy. Its almost like old dude here is acraping the bottom of the barrel for content and blacky lawless rage bait gets clicks
I have never heard Costa play but he sounds like the Jaco Pastorius of metal: incredible player but deeply disturbed. The Blackie Lawless dick punch story alone is worth the price of admission. Question though? Why would he want costa in his band? Is he not the bass player? What are they gonna play, Big Bottom? Kinda calls all of it into question
Costa was watching Godfather 3 ten years before it came out. Also the blackie part could be true but it could be more of the alcohol talking. That was years ago while drunk he may be a better or worse man now.
You can separate the art from the artist. I kind of used to admire him but after hearing that it definitely showed me how much of a piece of shit he is. WASP still rocks tho
You really believe this story? It sounds ridiculous. Chris Holmes has said the N word multiple times though, he said he left the US and moved to France to get away from rap music and "n***ers"
I like Blackie even better now.
Thanks for the update 👍
The entire Godfather trilogy is 9 hours long, and the third movie didn't even come out until 1990. Definitely calling BS on that one.
I scratched my head when I heard that.According to people that knew him,Costa disappeared after the ozzy gig.Well before The Godfather 3 was released.
not sure how much I believe this guy
I love Full in Bloom! I could listen to these old stories all day long.
🤘😈🤘
Don't matter how great a bass player he was, dealing with that non-sense is far from worth it...

These tales are so tall you can see them from orbit.
Outer Space is science fiction
I think maybe you just can't face up to the fact he a racist. Funny slash has said members of wasp where little racist turds
I don't believe it all. The Godfather III was from around 1990, not at all around the early 80s years to which he seems to be referring.
You get the best interviews man :) It was like a giant cloud of egos walking around there in the 80s
😀'She was big, she was Black and had NO sense of humor!!'
Godfather 3 wasn’t released until 1990.
Blackie got to see it as soon as it wrapped
@@kevinprowse406 the story he was telling about the Godfather was years later not in the early 80’s. VHS still wasn’t a household thing.
That was a fun interview, but Godfather 3 didn't come out to waaaay later.

So now we have a back story to Blackies circular saw? True or not, I'm keeping it as canon because it's a great story. Awesome video.

Yes, but he's funny though.

Hmm..... "Call a spade a spade only if you want to
Cos by any other name it's taboo" --- Blackie Lawless (B.A.D.)
It makes sense now.
Who cares , that was written 40 years ago and I doubt anyone is thinking about lyrics from W.A.S.P. nowadays....
