old vs new

why has W.A.S.P. been totally ignored over the years I have brought this up to other metal heads & it seems nobody even knows they have realeased anything since crimson idol I personally have turnd on more people to K.F.D. than whoever represents W.A.S.P.
I have seen them 9 times over the years & if I gotta sit through I wanna be somebody or wild child thats ok if he would just play some stuff from his newer cds on the rise tour the only song he played from the cd was sister sadie nothing from K.F.D. or unholy terror or dying for the world. I think next time i will just stay home & the night he plays Atlanta I will just crank up All his cds from still not black enough to the present & annoy my neighbors seems way more fun than sitting through another night of nothing but hellion & the idol.
Please dont get me wrong the old stuff is good but how can you compare wild child to the horror or stone cold killers
just my opinion but the new stuff is WAY BETTER than the older stuff & Blackie has more talent in his little finger than Nikki Sixx will ever have but Blackie gets no respect.....just wondering

You posted a thread like this in Waspnation forum too right?! Anyway I posted my opinion there so I don't think it's needed to post that here too;)

For a brief, I'm absolutely agree on what you say. I'm very very critical of this about Blackie. How can he expect respect from people (fans or non-fans) when he doesn't respect his own songs?! How can he easily ignore amazing albums like The Headless CHildren, Kill Fuck Die, Dying For The World and Still Not Black Enough?!! Man it's beyond me, I can't understand!!

No doubt,I regretably have to admit,the last tape I bought was crimson Idol.Years went by leaving me behind in the 80's.About 2 years ago learned about limewire.Hmmm wonder if W.A.S.P. has any new music out.Ohh Hell Yeah!!! been totaly addicted since,could not beleive how much stronger there music has gotten,And K.F.D.ohh fuck yeah Blackie wrote a song just for me to play for my ex.aggresion strait from Hell.Then you get some of the deepest of emotion from the ballads.And a coment for Jason's post Hell Yeah!! an opening with Shadow Man,Very powerful song!Unfortunately I have not gotten to see a show yet.But with the word of Babylon out there,hope the dream of seeing them comes true.

Hi Larry,

I agree with some of what you said, I like Blackie a lot, but I'm also a Motley Crue fan so don't agree about Blackie being better than Nikki, I think they are both very talented.

I like all WASP, old and new, they are a kick ass metal band, but yoour right, they never have really gotten the respect they deserve.

yes Nikki Sixx is one of my Idols and the things he does for the kids in his chairty work is amazing. My point I think is Nikki writes good times pop metal with catchy sing along choruses and it seems that Blackie writes more from the heart.Something Nikki tries to do he just dosent seem to capture it like Blackie does or maby Vinces voice just isnt as strong as Blackies Either way BOTH are great bands>

The classics such as I wanna be somebody and Wild child will always be staple faves of mine, but i appreciate the new stuff just as much. The kfd tour was the first time I saw them live, and with the original line up too! What an awesome show! I just hope the albums that follow Babylon don't all end up with a biblical theme. That would suck. I will continue to see them live until Blackie hangs up his guitar.
