W.A.S.P. - The Idol (with lyrics)

[Charlmagner]

I'll never know if love's a lie...

[x6s6]

Listened to this album pretty much non-stop on a cd walkman after I bought it at the beginning of a 5-day holiday in Dublin about 8 years ago. It's all I really remember of Dublin. What a waste of a holiday. Solo in The Idol still gives goosebumbs!!!!

the line is "I am just a prisoner to my FAME" not faith...its the premise of the song.

[bubbatha]

A Heavy Metal masterpiece!

[kbit70]

Truly a great album from Blackie. Any rock/metal fan should own this!

[TheScorpion667]

any idea where i could find a midi of this? I want to record a cover but could do with taking the drums from a midi so i could replace it with real drum sounds

[ramieidlby]

@TheScorpion667 ... get the Guitar pro file and then convert it to midi,

[mama46able]

omg...what a voice!! a damn great song also...I just luv it...fuuuck this is just fucking "geil!

[Metalbob011]

Dedicate this to my martial artist teacher who was like a father. 2 years after his passing still miss you RIP.

[mama46able]

@TheMrjeros ..... you so damn right@TheMrieros :-)

[treeborn1]

@desmodian

it does say "If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me" later on in the song though.

[benemles]

The album must be highly influenced by The Wall by Pink Floyd

[oscarverywild]

@benemles this sounds like operation mindcrime to me

[fabtantrum]

in a nut shell.

[missemo1313]

Yah, This album came out in my birthday



[philaver2001]

lyrics,guitar solo and drums, is a masterpiece, what can i say

[666fuckoffandie]

does anyone else get chills around 1:42?

[datskas]

@666fuckoffandie

i get chills during the whole song

[w7class]

Song that haunts you

[Arc333Angel]

@desmodian In the context of the album faith and fame are one in the same. He describes himself as an idol, an imposter, a false god that can't satisfy the lonely masses. Trying to be the idol is killing him. In an interview, he explained that no human being can satisfy the longings of the human soul. His fame, and his faith are a prison, and anyone who worships him will only be disillusioned in the end. He's pointing to a power higher than himself as the source of love.

[neeskens100]

OMG...THIS SONG IS AWESOME.....HEAR THE LYRICS....WHAT A MASTERPIECE..

[LynxOGrady]

this is such a powerful song. Why the fuck dont more people know about W.A.S.P.?

[stellanikos]

[stellanikos]

[EmbraceableBlue]

@desmodian raise up your volume you can hear him say "Faith" :) Just had to add that

[cslavov]

when the solo kicks in it all sound all like a Pink Floyd song.

[Hellraiser7string]

@cslavov in fact,comfortably numb's solo..

[PKPingo]

@desmodian he says FAITH! so if you came to look at the lyrics and not listen to the music go away and die!

[Evilmantheone]

Okay where are those seven Deathcore posers who disliked this masterpiece ?

[Konskom]

GOD BLESS BLACKIEEEEEE!!!!!!

[Bru878]

[inventor179]

[ThePorstar]

eu simplesmente amo essa musica .. nao sei porq ela me faz muito bem ... e nao e sempre q me sinto assim

[92DIO92]

What a song it's one that I always work out on just letting it play over and over the same to a lot of DIO songs or malmsteen or better we're stars that some song all the best rockstar's playing as one

[Metalbob011]

Blackie has so many great songs, but this is without question one of his best.

[tanaltmira09]

Well the point is that this masterpiece is indeed unique!

[AchilleasSentenced]

Blackie Lawless for the win!!!!!!!

[BarryMcClure]

This song is so beautiful and touching it could make Chuck Norris cry.

[Thryleon19]

@BarryMcClure

Fuck chuck norris. this is the REAL DEAL!!!

[GONSHOOTING08]

@desmodian ITS DEFINATLY FAME!!!!! READ INTO THE MEANING OF THIS ALBUM AND WHAT ITS ACTULLY ABOUT. I OWN THE ALBUM IVE READ THE LYRICS IT SAYS " PRISONER TO MY FAME" NOW FUCK OFF

[herzmeister]

@GONSHOOTING08 and you sir, seems you are just a prisoner to your caps

[Vomtu100]

@desmodian it's faith not fame my friend i know because i have the cd

[Vomtu100]

this is one of the very few somgs that make me cry and still i can't stop watching it

[SuperMetaldaze]

One of the best rock ballads ever made Rock On!! Blackie

[Thoemme666]

I don't like ballads very much, but this is a masterpiece and the BEST rock ballad.

[Cynicism89]

I heard this W.A.S.P. song for the first time, and I got the goosebumps in the intro, and in the chorus I bursted into tears... What a masterpiece, indeed...

[PlatoHelloween]

7 people reaaaaly need to change what music they listen to :P

[MrMalex87]

Donde esta el amor?

[lefterismetalas]

7 people doesn't know about real music!!! ;)

[iraqired]

BEST ALBUM IN THE WORLD. TRUE!!!!!

IT FLYS YOU TO A DIFFERENT PLACE. LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL.

[flescum]

At his best BL is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. The proof is right here.

[ema817]

love love love love love this song !

[JOHNNYNSROCK]

@desmodian Thank God someone understands what Blackie was tryin' to say!

[JOHNNYNSROCK]

@desmodian I agree... I have talked to Blackie himself in backstage after one concert and asked him to sing The Idol only for me. He said FAME.

[Gnarharrgelsson]

Genialer Song - sehr schönes solo ...

[ahauntedhistory]

Believe it or not, I don't think it's either faith or fame. I think it's fate, He is just a prisoner to his fate. Which makes sense, everyone is a prisoner to their fate.

[aneesall]

HELLIONS.........check out blackie lawless facebook fan page......39,690 hellions

[AzraelShingami]

@desmodian Official lyrics say it's "Faith", discussion over.

[Juhiz69]

@AzraelShingami And that's what I said ;) You guys who said it was "fame" should have believed me. :D

[DiltWasney]

@Juhiz69 WHAAT? I have the original first Idol cd and it says FAME on the cover.

[DiltWasney]

@Juhiz69 WHAAT? I have the original first Idol cd and it says FAME on the cover.



[eleutherw]

@Juhiz69 If it was "fate" it could make more sense anyways. It's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard so far... Most of the lines are like the summary of my feelings

[eleutherw]

My logic is so strictly limited to understand who the brainless 7 fucks could ever dislike this song

[paranidherc]

@Juhiz69

Well, some ppls put "faith" into every single song, no matter if its actually in it or not

[MrWikkid1]

@AzraelShingami It's Faith , my dude , discussion is ova.

[cbe37canada]

All the heavy metal groups have a master piece!!! the Crimson Idol is WASP finest moment!!!

Heavy Metal FOREVER!!!!

[PsychoWahhh]

@desmodian It is Faith.

[LynxOGrady]

this is the only song I've heard from The Crimson Idol but damn!!! this is a powerful song! Time to go find "The Crimson Idol" and enjoy the entire album.

[TearBlade]

"True Metal" is an understatement.

I think the only term that defines this piece of art and the band itself is "God".

[GIANNULI69]

Davvero un capolavoro!

[serhathoca]

How the fuck did Blackie top Sleeping in the Fire?? Unreal.....

[Homemmorte666]

i believe in Blackie

[thepanayiotis1990]

6 PEOPLE DON'T HAVE AN IDOL

[JazReviews]

@thepanayiotis1990 haha! You fucking fool.

[thepanayiotis1990]

@JazReviews :-)

[serhathoca]

@thepanayiotis1990 are u expecting a thumbs up for this stupid comment of yours?? How bout I give your mother my hard cock instead. I'm sure she'll give me a thumbs up for my performance. You fucking moron idiot.

[Animah85]

@desmodian 

;)

It's "fame" not faith!

[Animah85]

@desmodian

;)

It's "fame" not faith!

[bvmangas]

WASP JEBE!!!

[orsypupus]

david gilmour remember...

[TheShintoistCleric]

lol, its faith.

[EveHetfield]

@TheShintoistCleric Ωραιος ρε φιλε με το ελληνικο σχολιο !! *thumb up*

[t4sos1234]

Ο ίδιος ο Θεός κατέβηκε και έγραψε αυτό το τραγούδι

[th3m3t4ll0]

@t4sos1234 etsi!makari na vgazan kai simera tetia aristourghmata..

[akisbougos]

ton pairneis...? dn yparxei 8eos..!

[w7class]

@t4sos1234 Λες ο Blackie να είναι ο εμπνευστής του Θεού, ο δημιουργός, αν θες, του θεού, πολύ πιθανό, πλακα, πλάκα, κατι σαν τον Chuck Norris του metal!

[TheGilgalant]

@t4sos1234

μετα απο τοσα χρονια αυτο το τραγουδι εξακολουθει και σου κοβει την καρδια...

[DJ90IRONMAIDEN]

IRON MAIDEN is my religion , but RESPECT TO W.A.S.P. !!!!!

[emojj666]

its faith, theres an ith that echos

[555grimreeper]

best guitar solo in the world

[MrsRina1998]

ich finde das lied von Jenna Jacob besser

[derflugzeugtraeger]

@MrsRina1998

pffft....xD

[CharlieMcCotton]

This is one of the greatest wasp songs ever!

[fmonnaie]

I listen this album in 1992 when I was only 20. Now, 19 years later, those song give the same thrill. Wonderfull

[Juhiz69]

@desmodian I'm pretty sure that it's faith...

[RavenHamilton]

@Juhiz69 It is faith.

[signsix]

@Juhiz69 it's faith for sure.

[signsix]

@Juhiz69 it's faith for sure. Then again he mentions fame right after so maybe fame.

[Gromwell666]

@Juhiz69 no it is fame..faith sounds better to his fans because it makes it more personal..but he is saying fame

[megadethandbloodd]

@Juhiz69 no its fame

the whole album is about a young boy's rise to fame plus its called the idol like people idol him

still a freakin awesome song

[Thoemme666]

@Juhiz69 I think it's "fame" because Blackie is a die-hard christian - at least nowadays. That's why he doesn't play classics like Animal or Harder Faster anymore. :-( So he now really is a prisoner to his faith! XD

[DiltWasney]

@Juhiz69

No, I know this song from the vinyl and it is FAME. The whole album is about the problems of becoming too famous and being overwhelmingly slave to both fans and the record company, it is FAME no doubt about that.

[DiltWasney]

it also works well with the use of "fame" later on with the song.

[frozenrainbow61]

oh my god, this version is just another masterpiece, his awesome voice, the weeping guitars - it's giving shivers and tearing at my heart, anything just told

on this page - 40000 hellions can't go wrong... horns up

(Stuttgart, 01.12.10 - yeah)

[usuckdong]

I know this is a wasp page, but rest in peace R.J.D.!

[Johnnybashtanu]

if you don't love this song you must be gay!

[TheGrandia01]

@Johnnybashtanu

LOL i agree

[dani222fuklqo]

WASP rulz man

[TheGrunge619]

If you go through the pleasure and the pain of drug addiction and truly become clean then you are one In a hundred,Good on you and also to your girlfriend that helped you go through it. This was a song straight out of Blackies soul and an inspiration to all.

[Metalbob011]

Blackie Lawless has been a metal hero...who I amire other than RJD. \m/

[lennynewry85]

Anyone know where I can find the bass tabs for this song?

[GIANNULI69]

Semplicemente meravigliosa; l'assolo finale richiama vagamente "confortably numb", ma senza nulla togliere a questo pezzo che rimane un autentico capolavoro!

[LongLiveRockMetal]

i love this song !

[seven88dragon]

Hell of a song... I dedicade it to my ex gf, we splitt up, and we cant come back together...

[misserror007]

to selter me?

[couerifi]

KISS AWAY THE PAIN & LIVE ME LONELY

Blackie, how it is that you so often sing what I think?

(or better... let me know why I feel what you sing)

[sakalesoko]

I grew up listening to these guys and I gotta tell you...They are awesome musicians...AND THIS SONG IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN AND PERFORMED IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC...IT'S AN HONOUR TO HAVE GROWN WITNESSING THEIR TALENT...AND TO BE A FAN OF BLACKIE LAWLESS FOREVER...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS SONG...IT IS A MASTERPIECE INDEED.

Fuck..... I wanted to write a whole book but it doesn'
