what a great song! never heard it before. WASP does ballads best i reckon. been a fan since the start and Blackie's still got it-what a voice! don't like his "shouty" period where everything was simply shouted and sounded the same, mainly the last 10 years except for the Babylon album which was great. As for Chris Holmes, a great performer but at the end of the day it's been Blackie who's held it all together. If it had been up to Chris Holmes, they would have split after Headless Children.
I saw Metallica open for WASP back in 85...NOT a bad show as Metallica (supporting 'Ride The Lightning') were still young, humble, and hungry. Dammit, I like old metal!
I am not sure what album this is off of or when it was released but being as WASP are still one of my all time favorite bands this song should be in their set list to this day. it is simply brilliant. Blackie has the best voice ever created in music .you show me one vocalist after almost 30 years that can still sing like his very first album besides Blackie Lawless and I will bet it is not very many..........
Thought I give you an update on Tony Richards. We never did finish the new DellaVella cd. Every once in awhile I will hear from Tony. But the good news is I just released a single called Interstate for download. And it is the only recorded tune release of Tony since he left the 80's metal band W.A.S.P here is the link for it. cdbaby.com/cd/DellaVella1
Hello WASPQueen. W.A.S.P. in 1989 single released the long version (time 7:39) of "Lake of Fools". Could you post this long version on youtube? thank you very much!
@suveer1 yeah! they knew how to play guitar, form a great melody with seamless changes and deliver a rock voice that didn't sound like every other one out there
i wish that solo lasted at least twice as long. It just starts taking you on journey then its over all too soon.

One of my favourite WASP tracks. Not really a ballad, it's just a dark, heavy tune with some great changes of direction.
