As a musician, I'm going to step up and say the reason W.A.S.P., as much fun as they have been over 30 years, have never had commercial success is because Blackie can't seem to write a song that doesn't have the "Iron Maiden" chord progression (vi-IV-V) in it, hence all their stuff sounds pretty much identical, save the lyrics.
@Cougar1961 white anglo saxon protestant not person. any way i'll quote blackie lawless when he was asked what wasp meant...'we aint sure pal'.
we are sexual perverts was something the pmrc coined, wasp let it run because of the publicity. if anyone really believes thats what wasp stands for you're probably a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
W.A.S.P. didn't stop playing Forever Free because it was radio friendly. they wrote 60 more songs since and had no time to play it because they're a whole new band now and Forever Free was probably dropped in favor of playing more of the new stuff... try some fact finding before you pull things outta your ass.
This is one of my favorite bands of all time. I couldn't care less about them being popular, they belong to the die-hard fans and keep true to their roots. Respect Blackie!

I love metallica no matter how much wasp or drowning pool or grand funk railroad I listen to i will still like metallica besides whens the last time you heard wasp on the radio.(Besides 80s on 8)
W.a.s.p never sold out like Metallica, that's why you'll never hear them on the radio! In fact, W.a.s.p. stopped playing "Forever Free" at their live shows BECAUSE it was radio friendly!
P.s. I like Metallica, just haven't been crazy about their newer stuff.
@BloodOfRayne I will refer you to a quote by the great, late, Cliff Burton "We do what we want to do. If they consuder that selling out, then whatever." That attitude hasn't changed. You can't call what they did selling out because it sold more than other bands. They didn't know that was going to happen. And for only 2 albums (more like 1 1/2) that's far from "selling out".
right you never hear wasp on the radio because the the people organizing the songs won't play them, scared of a riot against them idk, but they deserve to be played, not dissin your opinion or anything

actually I don't think you will listen any good/worthy band on the radio (except those that do have some history in the metal scene like Maiden or Metallica)
Totally agree, although I've come to dislike Metallica in the past few years (more due to their attitude than the music itself), I guess my own top-3 list would have WASP, Manowar and Dokken instead of Metallica
WASP just fuckin rocks, and still after all these years....
Blackie always writes songs that sound epic and that's not easy to do! It seems like they're all anthems. And the guitar solos rock too. They always fit the song so well and are tasteful. Rock on, WASP!!!
FFF*ck yeah!. :)
