Larry & all WASP fans:
I have to agree with your post.
I have seen WASP several times and they remain one of my most favorite bands of all time.... I'm 36.
Although, I think that since "Crimson" their sound has been pretty predictable (save KFD and the throwback feel of Helldorado) I think that the "newer" (16 years+..wow that dates me) sound of WASP is still amazing and superior to the old shock rock vibe.
How many people would just absolutely shit in delight if Blackie opened up a show with a tune like "Shadow Man" and then cracked out something like "Skinwalker"... Blackie's fans are long time, life long ones. We Don't have the Greatest Hits CD's (well, maybe we do) because we have all the recordings anyway. We don't need to hear "I wanna be somebody" live again, even though we don't and wont complain. But, speaking for the masses of die-hards... I would rather have any of the hidden gems in the catalog, like the aforementioned "Skinwalker", "Asyulm #9" or "K.F.D."
By the way Larry, when I saw them on the KFD tour, they closed the show with "The Horror".... great stuff.
I hope there are as many fans left out there that care as much as I do.
Rock on all,
Jason

Jason I agree so much but yes my age gives me away also im 42.
In 95 during the K.F.D. tour I was strung out on dope pretty bad & I missed that tour I have seen pix of it & have double live assissions I could kill myself for missing that tour I would love to have seen the horror live But the question still remains How come nobody knows about all the new stuff he does I swear I have promoted him more than his own staff does. I did on u-tube find a tribute to 911 done to hallowed ground it was very touching & well worth going to find just go to the site and type in W.A.S.P. hallowed ground 911 tribute it may take a min ti find but well worth your time I am somewhat of a pc retard so if anybody could transfer it to the video collection here it would be great.

well i have to admit i only just found out they released an Album in 2007 and if i did not have the internet i would not be aware of it at all. What really sucks is i have never seen a W.A.S.P album in any CD stores i've been in.

That is xacitly what im talking about. I have turnd on more people to w.a.s.p. than Blackie`s own company has.
So metalheadNatasha I will do it again!!!!! Go to the internet or your local F.Y.E. & order these 2 K.F.D. & Dying For The World They are GRRRRRREAT !!!!!But you will need the internet for K.F.D. as the cd dosent have a lyric sheet.I bought kfd & it sat in my cd case for 6 months because no lyric sheet then I got one off the internet & read them & went WOW......THE HORROR OF IT ALL!!!!! that is the best I can do.You will find Wild Child or I Wanna Be Sombody dont even come close to Stone Cold Killers or Little Death.

Then go get Dying For The World it was a recording put together for our troops to play to get there blood pumping before they go to battle. for all you people out there who are anti war or bush haters blackie was not. go to the official website he tells you DONT VOTE FOR OBAMA & then tells you why

now that the election has already happened i can see why Blackie did not want to vote for Obama, lol at first i was gonna vote for Obama but im glad i didn't. though i gotta say i don't like the current government period they are a damn threat.

Im 42 & you are too young for me but a trip across the pond & see how fickle us americans are maby then you will realize how come blackie never made it here.NIKKI SIXX did herion & had a band that made great music but was still pop BLACKIE put out music & the whole scene prentended that it diddnt even xcist.

i lovvee motley and WASP i dont think motley ever had a bad CD (except generation swine) but i do think blackie is wayyyyy to underrated. hes so great and he'll never get the credit he deserves just cuz he never conformed to gay new music now a days. i think thats gay

I have to agree that WASP is underrated and under appreciated. They are an incredible band but their path has been rocky. The fact that WASP is still putting albums out speaks volumes! Their fans have to be somewhere....if they didn't sell cd's they would not still be recording or touring. I "lost" them there for a brief period, and I think for the casual fan that is a common occurrence. However, that being said I found KFD in an FYI, bought it and then went back and got ALL the ones I missed. The real fans will go back and pick up the cd's they missed and attend the shows. Will WASP ever reach the revitalized level of Motley Crue? The answer is no because of previous personal and professional issues. (Do some research here!) That being said he has written some amazing tunes and the loyal fans know what he is capable of as a musician! Keep rockin!
