    Fan since 84. W.A.S.P is the most underrated band in the history of Heavy Metal.

      in the 80s they was one of the best everytime sold out Records and shows but 80% of todays generation had no great taste in music,for them is the fastest and loudest the best and they looks like rapper who played a mix of Trash Death and Grunge,damn It its not the right way,20% of todays music is ok the rest is shit

    He seems so unbelievably humble & intelligent. I’ve been a fan of W.A.S.P. for awhile, and I’ve always depicted Blackie for his image and the insane live shows, but he seems so sweet! What a cool guy.

      He's a very intelligent guy. If you are familiar with the Dee Snider testimony, before Congress, Blackie was originally slated to testify in that slot, but contractual obligations prohibited it. It's a shame , because he would truly have ate their lunch. Al Gore would have looked like drooling fool, oh wait, he is....

    I was 11yr old when they came out. I'm still a huge fan. Was supposed to have seen him in Dallas Sept 9th. Unfortunately the rest of the tour was canceled due to his back surgery. Hope 🙏 he is recovering well and comes back to Texas soon!

    I'm trying to work out what's even slightly controversial about the band name.

How is this even remotely controversial?
