WASP - Scream Until You Like It (TOTP)

[nanamano]

Ahhhh good ol peroxide haired Johnny Rodd! I wonder where he is now. Maybe in the reformed King Kobra. This is a vintage bit of TOTP's ! What a killer tune too!

[thethethetheluis]

They... lip synced this?

[FilGee100]

he almost forgot to laugh :)

[andyjett]

who's the drummer by the way?

[louiebones]

@andyjett I'd like to know too!!!

[xxbrkdwnxx]

Top of the Pops is a fucking disgrace to musicians.

[TheCrimsonification]

It's 100% lip synch. That's Blackie singing "Scream until you like it" in the chorus, but Chris (badly) miming it here.I've seen W.A.S.P. live 3 times. Chris don't sound like Blackie. Nobody does. I love the song though.

[xxbrkdwnxx]

@TheCrimsonification this is all lip synched. top of the pops is shit and forces musicians to basically perform a live music video on their show.

[TheCrimsonification]

@xxbrkdwnxx It's a slap in Blackies face to lip synch, but management had legal obligation to make 'em perform. "Force musicians basically to perform" is right. Shows like that are an abomination.

[TheDaltonator1234]

Why's blackie wearing a bra? Lmao

[theoneandonlysarab]

They rock (in both ways)

[Admiraloz]

Звук где??????

[nelly712002]

remember watching this top of the pops just because wasp were on, i spent the whole song wondering if blackie had got nits

[rocker78302]

i looooooooooooooove blackie´s voice

[LORDGOAT1976]

The Movie was already great but this song at the end of the movie, was like the icening on the Cake.

[MissBritneySpears10]

The best band ever! GOD blessed Blackie Lawless

[aneesall]

AHHH THIS IS GREAT,, RARE VIDEO...

@@@@@ CHECKOUT BLACKIE LAWLESS FACEBOOK FANPAGE 36,265 HELLIONS 

[pixarian72]

They're miming!!!

Look at 0:27 the audio is "no no no!" but he mouths "Nooo"

haha! snapped! (it sounds exactly like the recording as well)

[trikespotter]

@pixarian72 Of course their miming. It fuckin crappy Top Of The Pops. Nobody ever played live on that show for the studio performances.

[apskelett]

@trikespotter

Are you drunk? Not all bands lipsync. Iron Maiden refused to do anything but play live as far back as 1980 when they did Running Free. Get your facts straight.

[trikespotter]

@apskelett Drunk, no. Just not that old. You got one good example against me, but you gonna try and deny that throughout the 80's & 90's the studio performances were not dubbed? Now, I said STUDIO remember. How many examples do you want from me in contest?

[apskelett]

@trikespotter

There are plenty of examples of dubbed preformances and plenty off the opposite. I havent been categorical, you're the one who was that. Just get your facts straight before you speak and there wont be no argument.

[dusted04]

@pixarian72 yeah dude thats what ya get with top of the pops !

[BlackieLawlessBest]

W.A.S.P. rules !!!!

[loudreviews]

that drummer kinda looks like The guy that drummed for The Vinnie Vincent Invasion, bobby rock.

[frehleysboots]

@loudreviews nah its not him- its Wasps drummer Steve Riley who was with them 84-87

[guillermovlogs]

@frehleysboots Steve doesnt play that way

[ManFromNothing]

it's playback?

[MadRain0GNR0WASP]

OMG! Blackie is so sexy...

[luizpace]

My favorite Band since 1.984..

Blackie Lawless is my Idol !!!!!!!!!

[1badsteed]

Is Blackie wearing a halter top? ROFL I love this band, awesome music from the greatest era of rock

[Mefisto76]

Is this really Franki Banali at the drums? Doesn't look like...

[Djsilver64]

That drummer lives a couple blocks away from me. :D

He's still got it...

[CoolKwstas123]

Yea Blackie maybe wearing a bra. But after every show he may have more pussy than u will ever get in you life !

[WEINBAUER]

They need to make this song a regular in the set list.I can't believe bands still Lip sync still on tv shows.

[Born2Rock1987]

shitty totp where great musicians have to do fuckin playback.....

[townclutz99]

@Born2Rock1987 that's what I thought. For a live performance it was too close to the recorded version and there were some of their actions that didn't fit with the music.

[gauxe]

Blackie's wearing a bra?? o.O? xD

[versicolora]

"nice" playback !

[scrumsie]

"Well i went into Lita Fords wardrobe and there i saw it......."

[Helldorado72]

Chris Holmes definitly does not have a career in lip syncing

[bigfatoilyguy]

lol chris should stick to beastin the guitar, besides nirvana hes the worst ive ever seen at lip-synching lol

[wixibixi]

who is the drummer ???????????????????

[DHRC18]

@wixibixi Great question, did you figure it out?

[DarkAngel182]

@wixibixi possibly Kelly Martella, who they hired in to play the Donington Rock Festival with them.

Thing is I recall reading in old Metal Hammer magazine about who the drummer was during this performance, but can't remember for the life of me who it was now, and all my old mags from the 80s have long been consigned to the dustbin!

[oleainatoivo]

hahahahahahaha hes got a midriff shirt on!!!! Pffffft!!

[LarkeSongs]

WASO on TOTP?

sweet

[Warcraft20101]

why do people even wonder / discuss / put it in the header that its lip sync.. DOH its topof the pops . theyre not allowed to sing . it has to be lip sync

anyway blackie lawless forever <3

[wasp4eva1]

Ha ha.Love it.I didn't know the diff between miming and live when I was young.Being a WASP fan I know Holmes never sung back up so...

[ROCKDRIGOSORTINO]

great glam baby

[fourquarter]

Totally awesome- but obviously lipsynched. New album Babylon= AWESOME

[notelvisjr]

Well, that and various things where the playing and the music don't sync up . . like Chris playing the rhythm part toward the end instead of the fill-ins...

[Aldersees75]

@Sixshotreviews2 and also there not out of breathe when they finish

[SUPERCALIFANO]

Top of the Pops is ALWAYS in playback, nowaday also the stage is the same for every TOTP in the world... a nice marketing intuition

[aalejja]

Blackieshottie shut a fuck up asshole!!!!!!!!!

W.A.S.P. is only for some rockers...

[lordigreekfan19]

it is playback or not???

[Alvitus]

@lordigreekfan19 as always, of course yes!

[kendostick58]

Thank god for Chris Holmes!

[Atjme]

you're right, I'm thinking the same; Blackie's the brain behind all their songs, it's all about his musical genius

[thrashmetalowns666]

WASP ON TOTP!!! WTF DID I MISS!!! =(

[DevilsBeggingToBurn]

Chris Holmes Never Did BAcking He Cant Sing :L so this vid is quite funny

[MultiCoach]

Who's the drummer in this awsome track? Thank you for givin' me answer!!

[retoronto]

Steve Riley is the drummer on this track but he left WASP in 1987 to join L.A Guns.

[MultiCoach]

Thanks for information...Steve is one of my favourite H.M. drummer...incredible control and precision...

[ECOOL76]

Cant believe WASP was ona pop show. Go Blackie!

[maxiran1]

Wasp F.... Rocks:)

[nyckelmannen]

chris holmes is my guitar hero

[morockcha]

el que dice que jhony rod se parece a vince neil en shout at the devil que se joda!XD

[axecalibore]

Hey, I heard this at the end credits of Ghoulies 2, and ran right out and bought the cassette single! (that should tell you when) One of my favorite songs.

[wisesatyr72]

pretty fucking cool..

[NakedBurglar]

this video makes me want to put my hand in Blackie's hair and leave it there forever.

[firemage1986]

HAHAha...there is a guy in my office with hair almost exactly like Blackie's. crazy-ass mop with white streaks, so hot

[motleycrue91]

[666PeaceSells666]

hehe, lip synced much!?!

[FreakDaGeek]

on his worst day lip syncing, he can still up show any of them shit talent pop artists like spears, simpson(both sisters), nsync just to name a few.

[666PeaceSells666]

hehe yeah, but everyone of top of the pops lips synced anyway, except maiden

[maidenrulz73]

running free!!!!

[ParagonB]

they had to for this show. there wasn't any room for their sound gear on the stage. But if you've ever seen these guys live, you'll know they never "had" to lip sync.

[T00DLES213]

W.A.S.P. fucken owns!

[KnightOwl2006]

He looks like he's wearing a sports bra - or is it the bro?

[dandamanwitdaplan92]

no doubt its better not lip synched they shouldnt have made him do that

[danophile07]

its amazing to see a metAL BAND ON SUMIN LIKE TOP OF TEH POPS but whys do totp make all teh bands taht play lip sync

[bigvinsweetevil71]

[damnrockergr]

[heliosense84]

[HamerScarab1]

who is that drummer?

[steve87696727]

saw them at the spectrum in 87 opend for sabbath awesome they still rock me

[zeramothian]

chris sunderling filled in the position for the rest of the electric circus tour for steve riley but never made it to become a full member ... well umm ever since that became the step for the downfallof wasp coz later on chris would leave in 89 i hate that period although it brought along the best wasp album ever crimson idol its sad what had to follow

[WSFB16]

I hate it when bands play on playback. thats lame

[nin10do1982]

how old is blackie lawless?

[TwilightZoneBand]

52 now.

[devilanarchy]

mwahaha ...playback

[barneyfurlong]

Who the fuck is that fill-in drummer? He's a dead giveaway for faking it ;)

[TheMeanMan69]

Drummer is Glenn Soderling

[DarkAngel182]

@TheMeanMan69 bit of a belated reply, but Glenn Soderling was interviewed on the WASP nation website and said it wasnt him in this performance, but rather the guy that breifly replaced him (which I believe to be Kelly Martella)

[barneyfurlong]

TOTP eh? I don't think a band's played live on that show before or since Iron Maiden in 1980! But I was a mad W.A.S.P. kid when this song came out (Anybody remember Ghoulies II?)

[Jeffreyfbr88]

No man, even before Maiden were serious artists.

[antichristian74]

i remember the ghoulies movies... so cheesy/funny... and i have to add that i am impressed by blackie's choice of sports bra. lol.

[sleazerikki]

FUCK YOU!!!!

[masterofinsanity1993]

fuck YOU gay

[sleazerikki]

Fuck you bitch i'll kick your pussy ass go suck a cock mother fucker

[WrittenInBlackVideos]

tough guy right here.

[sleazerikki]

I'LL KICK ANYONES ASS FOR WASP

[WrittenInBlackVideos]

except for mine. and besides...what i said had nothing to do with the band. just you. :)

[bonitaCa]

OMG this band get me out of control!!!

[Zumppyh]

I think it's not a playback :P

[sidsix]

hehe blackie sounds like Noddy Holder, Cum On feel the NOIZZZE!, so I guess TOTP should be used to that then.

[tyrant1505]

Ha, Ha!!! He does as well!!!!

[Lawless66]

OMG I never knew they were on TOTP!!!! GO BLACKIE!!!!

[danophile07]

it has to be lip synced coz top of teh pops didnt want then swearing and stuff, ti was completely censored the mic was off, thats how they got on

[tscotty32]

yup, they wanted control of what was being said and not the bands. good point!!

[MikkiMetalLuvsBrianJ]

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!

[sinfulkitten2008]

I dont care if they ae lip syncing, Blackie is always eye candy for any reason..:)

[DJMikeRay]

W.A.S.P. ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[DimebagDarrell88]

nooooooooo non sapevo fossero andati a totp

e nessuno li conosce????? vabbè io li conosco e me li godo..

[DarkAngel182]

Thanks for posting, I remember this performance and haven't seen it in years. Bit of a blast from the past!

Out of curiosity, anyone know who the drummer was for this performance? I know Steve Riley had just left them, so they had to get a guest drummer in for this. Any ideas?

[Mattyuk1]

Who cares about lip sync? the record rocks!

[bri1968]

well fuck me lol i was away in corfu when this was aired missed it ,, 1st time in twenty years that ive seen it wow wot a find

[zakasaro]

top of the pops?

[deratta666]

i remember this the bbc wouldn't let them play live just in case the started swearing

[cocolokomoto]

is playback

[zetix9r]

I didn't even know wasp ever was on totp,I hope they'll never do this again, they're so much better live instead of doing playback for a bunch of yuppies who don't give a shit about metal.

[DarkAngel182]

Wasp were on TOTP a couple of times. I remember them performing "Chainsaw Charlie" on there.

[TangoCharlie27]

What band wrote that song?

It wasnt WASP!!

Tc

[vidznstuff]

Paul Sabu wrote it. His version has different lyrics.

[DIABLOBLANCO8658]

Chris cant lip synch.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

I didn't know Blackie was on TOTP! Cool!

[Bice404]

Lip-sync is not so cool.

[Targuis]

is very very good,but playback.

[terencej72]

Boy do i wish this was recorded Live instead of lip synched like almost all TOTP acts

[ModelJames13]

Excellent! I miss real metal.

[buiggz]

That's Kelly Martella.

[doctorrockter]

WHO IS THAT ON DRUMS?

[vidznstuff]

Not sure. This was recorded around the time of their August '87 Donington Monsters Of Rock appearance. Steve Riley was out at that point, can't seem to find any info on who filled in.

[TheMeanMan69]

Drummer is Glenn Soderling
