W.A.S.P.

[Jack the Stripper]

Ok there’s no W.A.S.P. thread on here but I’m that excited by this news and didn’t have anywhere to post it I thought I needed to start a W.A.S.P. thread asap to share it.

This is some crazy good news for W.A.S.P fans. I never thought Blackie being a born again these days would ever go back to the horror shock rock of the early years but he actually is and it’s a beautiful thing.

Now all I need is some Aussie dates

About W.A.S.P.
Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parlaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Joined by bassist Mike Duda and guitarist Doug Blair, whose tenures in the band span 26 and 18 years respectively, along with drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester, will take the Band and the Fans back to where it all started. Complete with the stage show extravaganza that many fans never saw live.

Cool! Wonder what the setlist looks like - is he going back even to the songs he said he wouldn't sing again?

[Jack the Stripper]

As far as I know it’s only Animal(F**k Like a Beast) he won’t play these days. I doubt you can get away with having the torture rack with a naked woman onstage these days either lol.

Here’s some rare cool footage from the Troubador in 83 before their debut album came out.

Never thought I'd see that happen!. I wonder what Chris Holmes is thinking...

I wonder what Chris Holmes is thinking...

Probably not a lot given how little brain cells he has left lol

He definitely don’t like Blackie these days though. He has no trouble communicating that.
