[Roachenator]

ba ba ba ballcrusher

[dannyhood66]

This lady is probably better looking but the mid 80s ruined her look...That period has the worst look. The idea was to cut all hair off and look really prep geeky..I remember 1985 everybody heavy tried compromising for heavy (except a few) and none of the guitar synthesizer shit lasted even Priest made turbo lover guitar synth..Blackie lawless is lying about all of them being studio musicians if they were they didn't get much work..Shit i'll bet they didn't play anything but rock metal..Bastards

[tankerman25]

She has a face of a WASP

[leslieburnsforlove]

I love his eyes!

[cooldude9873]

[Brittneyx897]

id fuck him like a beast......then not now lol

[philoouw]

the time when music was made for music, and not for money :/

[jonnylest]

hes right about that

rock isnt as popular cos nobody had enough imagination

Nirvana killed bands like WASP :/

[ceri992]

@jonnylest ..Really? I think you'll find Nivarna have gone. WASP are still touring and recording after 28 years :)

[jonnylest]

@ceri992 yeahhh thats very true but all those millions of people who got into grunge rock thought it was better than Glam Rock/ metal

and tbh only guns n roses had a chance and as much as i love axl rose he fucked them up soo cos of bands like nirvana and pearl jam they ruind it

[ChatPranks]

wow its crazy that he came down here all the way back then for a promotion, but didn't they only tour australia for the first time a few years ago?

[lastwolflord]

good lord shs more scary looking then him. Whats great about blackie is you can tell he has more brains then half the goof balls that interview him.

[ceri992]

@lastwolflord Very true! I think half of them dont follow what he's saying. LOL

[tyrant9123]

BLACKIE LAWLESS TE AMO

[LivingAfterMetal]

Regardless of the on and off stage antics, Blackie is a consummate professional who made music with staying power. I know many bands achieved greater success, but W.A.S.P., in retrospect, might be one of the best U.S. bands of the 80s. I know I can't stop listening after 25 years, I'll never be WASPless.

[multihappydayz]

I drank for free till I couldn't see!!!

[goldxperience]

They eventually came here in here 2008!! Took ya bloody long enough

[occtaviousrex]

The background music suits the conversation

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@occtaviousrex Haha, for real.

[lastwolflord]

@occtaviousrex It is a little weird doing that. But very typical in the 80s. Especially the early 80s. Oddly I find this more interesting then 95% of the brain dead, talentless, autotuned idiots today.

[sonicsteev]

howdy

[Born2Rock1987]

the interviewer craps her pants XD I love when they look frightened........

[taariqtaariq]

oh suzanne....

[iankennedy280570]

Listen to Last Command thru headphones...It WILL blow yr mind...Thats his advice,so it's gotta be good!

[chloewalker8089]

i love his staten island accent!!

[TheCarrolltonHawks]

Blackie is about to be raped by this women. Cops.. Somebody call them!!!!!

[RoxyLepRocker]

It took me,like,9 seconds to start laughing out loud,'cause first he turn his eyes straight to the cam,then he smiles a bit.Then the interviewer says "Hi Blackie!" in a kind of sissy way,and he answers "Howdy" with his cool voice!! ;D;D;D :P

Haha,you gotta love him!!;D <3

[byronmyers18]

This chick looks like something out of a 1920 dress shop window! Blackie is something else.... Unique Unique Unique!

[gluv1]

very insightfull and he has totaly predicted the future metal has kinda faded out with all the faggy emo shit... such a masive shame... :'(

[MultipleScrotum]

@gluv1 it will rise again

[XxXLindseywayXxX]

he seems like such a awesome guy :)

[Blackie9786]

OMG the interviwer looks scared shitless of him!!!

i love him though <333

hes so fucking hott! and my idol :)

i just love him! he always does great interviews :D

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Look at his long slender fingers. Blackie has the most stunning hands I've ever seen.

[juddrizzo]

GD, I hate the background music!!!

[not255]

whats going on here ?? he comes to Australia to promote the last command, but didnt tour here in Australia for the first time untill 2008 !!!!

[Alvitus]

GREAT. BLACKIE forever.

[metalheadneji]

wasp rules

[volch1]

dumbass background music it totally downplayed the seriosness of what this mans speaking about

[Xeper1979]

yeah I had to laugh at the background music fucking gay and cheesy but I love wasp still

[wrathchildrocks]

i love the album and im a big wasp fan......but there was not as much gooing on in this album as he claims.

[borizgrozni]

that man just said to buy stereophones

[mercurymagic2]

hes so wise

[BLACKIEMAIDEN]

NECESITO TRADUCCION PLEAS!!!

[gilgel55]

isnt it amazing! he literally predicted the future! rock turned so same-old-same-old that it got washed away ny grunge and he literally saw it coming. amazing!

[Atjme]

Blackiiiiieeee <3 <3 <3

[brightbite]

Blackie has such dramatic eyes.

[crapfacemyers]

wasps first record WAS and STILL is DRIPPING WITH ENERGY!!!!!!!! From start to finish!

[NocturnalVagabond]

Yep. I discovered WASP with the 'Last Command' album, and heard their first LP next, so at first I thought meh, it's ok. But over the years, those early songs became huge favourites. I Wanna Be Somebody & Love Machine are regulars for any compilation CD I make today. Not everyone likes 80s metal & hard rock, but for those of us that do, WASP will always be one of the best. I think it was their light-hearted tongue-in-cheek approach that set them apart. They were having fun, and you knew it!

[believin13]

i agree with yea man. i remember seeing the 1st record and i thought wut the hell is this. later in yrs abut '85 i bought and luved it. and inside the electric circus is awesome tooo...Craig

[southplnk]

i remember getting 'last command' on vinyl & seeing that parental advisory sticker for the 1st time in my life

[Xeper1979]

I would say that about most bands of that genre and time period unlike the heavy bands these days they seem kinda serious and have to be more extreme then the next band etc

[jair333]

@NocturnalVagabond Who does not like 80`s hard rock and heavy metal? Those fags who like faggot nirvana and other shitty deppresing/loser bands? Yea they cant relate to Real rock n roll, FUCK THEM!!!!
