[nazzare79]

1:00-1:15: Riff borrowed from Uriah Heep 'bird of pray' (1971, 'Salisbury' album)

[gmj2012]

Extremely dark content in this fantastic music video, shows what stays with us as we grow up, and how it affects us and our lives. Incredible job on this video.

[evermetal2]

Same intro...? So what! The only thing Blackie has ever stolen is our fucking souls!

[JoshStobart]

@BrianSATX79 I believe something along those lines is in the making. They have something special planned for the 20 year anniversary (2012) so just keep your eyes open.

[BrianSATX79]

The Crimson Idol could have been and still could be a great film!

[Bolteus]

Great track but they totally stole or borrowed the intro from Uriah Heep's Bird of Prey.

[GerryGayboy]

@Bolteus that beginning is the very same, as it's continuing on the hole song, but I think nothing else is the same. Allthough I thin UH would already have done something about it.

[GerryGayboy]

[KingMetalian]

@Bolteus Υew its true my friend, but that Blackie must be Uriah Heep fun consideringhis cover on "easy livin'" :P

10/10.

\m/

[BlackmorefanFender]

One of the best and definitely one of the most underrated metal bands ever...on thei best song...Greece loves W.A.S.P. I think we proved it on 29th of October when they played live here in Athens...Take me down I'm comin' home...W.A.S.P. rooooooooock!!!!! We love ya Blackie!!!!

[Superbike54]

Fall of 2008 @ the Chance in Southern NY, they did the whole Idol disc start to finish for 15th anniversary. Was in a perch 30ft in front of blackie all by myself, was like being born again. One of the best performances i've ever seen!

[masterpatric07]

when it starts it cites Charles BUKOWSKI.

[evermetal2]

Never seen it before...I'm speechless.

little diff version w.a.s.p nation

[liquifex]

Cna't believe Blackie isn't in the Rock Hall Of Fame yet....

[mfcr96]

@liquifex Fuck the Rock Hall of Fame, Blackie doesn´t need it. I mean, The Everly Brothers and The Staple Singers are there. Do you give a fuck about them?

[TheCrimsonification]

@liquifex Blackie deserves a Hall of Fame nod, but in true Lawless fashion, he'd piss on it and rock on.

[BlackieRose90]

The Crimson Idol is a masterpiece...

[beaglebob]

Anyone know where the out takes were filmed?.

Looks like London in parts..

[TheWarDog11]

This band is what ALL other bands can only hope to become. W.A.S.P is the most important band in history, ALL other bands are 2nd rate at best and yes when I say ALL It includes led zep(overrated) Hendrix (way the fuck overrated) and Aerosmith (just plain annoying)

[Superbike54]

Ive always digged this tune.

[TheLionel1972]

@Superbike54 

[ColdSpring1984]

Crimson Idol is my favorite heavy metal -hard rock album since I was a child. I grew up on WASP! I,,I

[thejigsawmurdersyou]

The most underrated album in the history of rock.

[Yeraytxu92]

@thejigsawmurdersyou Also Still not black enough it's a very underrated album.. to be honest, W.A.S.P. is one of the most underrated rock/metal bands ever, though it's one of the best in my opinion, and one of my favourites

[Victorius1350]

1:28 - 1:30 LOOOL

[herbalbuzz]

Best "Metal" band in the world.

[CrushJehovah]

not soo much a metal band but half rock half metal. WASP has got metal elements though...

[herbalbuzz]

either way, hard for me to put a tag on great music.

rock on, keep it real!

[KarnageReport]

WASP is a heavy fucking metal band.

[jfgirard14]

This album just blows you away. Whit a storm's in your eyes

[sydirasky]

finally getting to see this live was amazing!! it was THE best concert i've ever seen.....

this album is best!

[droschmisch]

bad1373 is right. The whole album is in my opinion the best of its decade.

[MetalHealth1]

Anybody know the name of the guy who plays Jonathan?

[katoushit]

i saw him 2 weeks ago not changed a bit!

[bad1373]

this is one of the most underrated songs of history

[fireguye4]

one of the most underrated albums ever. blackies a fucking genius

[MrAleksa1974]

@bad1373

yes, for sure underrated, but, hey guys, listen to Crimson Glory and take a look at that kind of underrating things.... you'll become so sad

[milen1971]

Great song from the greatest album ever!!!

блеки это круто !!!!

[artem754]

васп это круто!

[SaintWicked721]

The Crimson Idol is the 2nd greatest concept album of all time after The Wall.

[timmybobdiss]

I'm guessing you made this video man if so great job

[joedredd6913]

One the greatest recordings ever..the whole Crimson Idol was perfect

[metalhealth12]

@joedredd6913 agreed it is the perfect album....you cant undersstand the album with out reading all the lyrics and u cant understand the lyrics with out the songs .....its kind of like an illusion just alittle less complicated i like the album and i think it should have been more commercialized i also think johnny rod bob kulick blacki and mr.STET HOWLAND should have stayed together they created this monster album..imagine if they stayed together

[SpandexRoxx]

awesome tune i have the cd love the solo.

[Cagedontheinside]

Here I think it is important to bring up the topic you saw in this video of how abused children do end up on the streets. The streets are not much better, but it is worth a shot to someone in this case. Let this be the song that goes out ot all of the abused and neglected children on this planet.

[painsey]

gods

[pan0s95]

This album has such an amazing story

gnr are nothing compare to the masterpieces of Blackie and his lyrics

Hail From Greece

is there a love to shelter me

only love love set me free

[Kaivarainen]

Perkele, someone is not ok. I love it.

[rockmuse94]

omg!!awesome video!!is this Blackie on his early age or not?

[N1ghtW1sper]

Fuckin' Awesome Song ..!

Fuckin' Awesome Album-The Idol...! \m/

"I'm in the eye of my rage, where no hurricane dies

I'm in the eye of my rage, where the hurricane lies

Oh, a storm's in my eyes

And like the beast that's in my soul, I'm the restless child...."

Hail From Greece...!

Stay HEAVY....!

[axeflanker]

fucking luv this song... personal enough but not that close!

[CeeLord76]

blackie lawless can't change.. he's made of heavy metal

it runs through his veins... those like him, alice cooper, lemmy, ozzy, rob halford, dio... will never die and if they do it's only to confuse the mortals è_é

[biha007]

well i like both wasp and gnr too...you can't compare them because wasp is a heavy metal band....blackie and axl rose are both music genious...chinese democracy is a masterpiece too and only a few can see it.....as only a few can see that the crimson idol is one of the best heavy metal albums....i dont like too see bad thinks about axl or blackie...you mustn't do it...they are the biggest writters ever in my opinion..W.AxL RoSE and Blackie LawLeSS!!!!!!

[95nasty89]

WASP was here before GNR. WASP is still here. UHM, where's GNR???? This girl HAs LOVED HIM since the day I Laid eyes on him (in '85) Blackie, you still R 1 sexy M.F 'er. I still want you just as bad as I did back then!!!

[IamBare]

It is no coincidence that W.A.S.P. fans are the true music lovers. Blackie is the real deal in a wasteland of wannabes!!!!!! I have loved his music from the beginning and I hope he never stops.

[MetalHealth1]

Amazing song, amazing album, fucking magical concert. Can anyone tell me the name of the guy playing Jonathan? And can you get the videos on dvd? I need it!!

[philligator]

I was 5 years old when my dad bought this album (1992). I still love listening to every song tell a story. Long live WASP and Blackie. Bob Kulick is a good guitarist btw.

[PyroMessiah1974]

F*&k I love this album! Thank you!

[FLH1965]

Crimson Idol is one of the best concept albums out there!

[crazyclownwannabe]

if there's a song i could say ''100% kicks ass'' this is the one and only

[JYZProductions]

whoever doesnt like this album hasn't read the lyrics or know what the albums about like W.A.S.P. or not this IS and always will be an amazing album. Almost anyone can relate to the lyrics and it has a unique sound.

I saw them in 2008 front row it was one of the best shows i ever went to.

[emilj24]

kickass album!

[KINGS1976]

what an ass wipe...that fucker hore or horselaverda...good album, the crimson idol album was the best, thats what BL said in kerrang magazine in 1999...so blow your self...fucker

[horselaverda]

bend over wee lad, the horse is here

[horselaverda]

worst album they ever made,i saw wasp in concert as far back as 1986,and i think they hit rock bottom here,record sales for this cd flumped.hang up youre 6 string mr lawless.

[Sunahpar]

record sales does not equal musical quality. Remember that this album is kinda spiting at the music industrie's face. Don't ask yourself why the record sales went down with this album.

[izombix]

I agree. This album got me through some pretty tough times. I could care less who else bought it.

[pwnzerleet]

Don't you think bans tend to sell out and the quality tends to drop with more fame? That's not the case here

[horselaverda]

lawless has sold out,they didnt even play animal the last time i saw them live,and blackie said that would always be part of the set list

[liquifex]

Lol. If there is a musician in the biz who hasn't sold out, it's BL. He does what he wants. He has a fantastic deal with Sanctuary. He doesn't sell billions of CDs, but he does do very well all over the world and get writes whatever the hell he wants. He has more of a cult following, but he definitely is an amazing artist in his own right. I've seen them 2 times, one recently, and he played Animal. And the show he put on could NEVER be done by someone in mainstream music. It wouldnt be allowed.

[liquifex]

One more thing - Not for nothing, but if you're using Animal as a sign of not selling out because of it's lyrical content, you're misguided. There are far more controversial songs nowadays that are mainstream. So, him not playing it is only a matter of just wanting to change it up, if anything.

[horselaverda]

wow,im sorry if i upset you so much,but im just saying what i feel.i no a lot of fans who were pissed of a the last wasp concert i was at,it was the dominator tour,and they didnt play any tracks from the dominator cd at all,so i think that speaks for itself

[perceval030991]

Totally agree, and Blackie is doing very well, after all, W.A.S.P. still sold 7 millions albums worldwide, I'm sure he ain't living in a skidrow. He's a man of integrity and its his passion thats driving him, not the dollars ahead.

[perceval030991]

Since when does good record sales goes along with good msuci?!? Lil Wayne had the biggest album sells of 2008, but his msuic is pure crap. Crimson Idol is a great record, not as good as The Last Command i give you that but still, its way better than anything Guns and Roses put out

[IamBare]

I totally agree. GNR is the most over rated bunch of crap ever. Blackie has more talent in one drop of sweat than the whole band.

[perceval030991]

Wow, honestly I never thought someone would someday share my opinion, way to go.

[damienreturns]

Actually I agree on that too.

[Anadura]

yeah!! total agree... chinese demochracy is a freaking crap compared to blackies master piece's ;P

[guitaral4]

Such a great video, and album, and story. The whole thing is excellent, especially when you see it all come together live - one of the best shows I've ever been to.

[GNRandSTP911]

Too bad that Grunge craze slowed Metal dramatically in the 90s. But Metal groups like Alice In Chains and Faith No More kept Metal alive. But after Grunge disappeared, 80s Metal bands became underrated. W.A.S.P. is a part of that statistic.

[zwecklos23]

W.A.S.P. are on rock since right from start. on and on. i think, they are not a part of your statistic. W.A.S.P. are not Bon Jovi or elswhere. W.A.S.P. are one and only - they just as they are, ok?

Sorry for my bad english

[edinjo1984]

This is Metal!

[bonitaCa]

Do anyone knows whats the story of the video? sometimes feels like Blackie want to show his past with this video..

[bonitaCa]

Blackie is so underrated..

[daniela01031980]

I went to concert here in Berlin this year or last and really it touched me very much: the music, the text, the video in background and they are so professional and sympathic! I am too young to be a WASP fan from former times but from last year I am.

[albsteeler]

You`re mature enough to be a W.A.S.P. fan, please continue to be... they are unstopable and Blackie is a legendary rock icon!

[Bilskinir]

that's great to hear daniela :D

[RadSucur]

they say Backie's got a 8 on a flop,

[SlaytanicSlaugther]

I could listen to his voice forever!!

[Mendlev]

Yeah!!!!

[bonitaCa]

agree with you who put this video, Blackie haven´t changed that all

[darkavengermanowar]

Awesome video, great song from one of the best rock concept LP's ever!

[SuzySpeed01]

ahahahhaha nigger crazy

man what are you on????

[Xacutna]

I love blackies warlock (bc rich guitar) I have the exact same one except mine has a widow head

for anyone whos like wtf google bc rich warlock ii

[Motleyfan23]

HA I have a Widow too, but mine's black annd red!

B.C. RICH RULES!!

[DiscoStu20886]

The first lines of the song he says something about "Nigger Crazy"... wtf???

[DiminishedToBe]

"never go crazy"

[Xacutna]

see them live the line ups the entire crimson idol and some classics at the end.. the second Blackie played this everyone went crazy

[AmonAmarthViking666]

In Quebec City? I was there too!

[voga]

dont waste the teats, for my wasted years.

[ramosk8]

goddamn the crimson idol is album is good. one of my favourites, definetely!! best part of this song "I was sixteen going nowhere, will I see seventeen alive

And I was running from the nightmare

I stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes"

[Judezki]

Awesome video.

[Judezki]

Btw, where are those live video clips?

[thip5474]

Crinson Idol is brilliant..WASP rules

[blackicedsoul]

Take me down I'm coming home arena of pleasure.......

[voga]

[blackicedsoul]

HAIL W.A.S.P. ARMY!!!

W.A.S.P.

Still blackie enough!

[deki6838]

Next Saturday in Düsseldorf with UDO,SAXON and more.I cant till then

[Auskaa]

i saw them in estonia 25.11 really awesome

[Nanocrypt]

Indeed

One of the best gigs I've ever been to.

[ElvisJ91]

I have seen WASP live, The Crimson Idol @ Norway 10.11.2007. THAT WAS FUCKING AWSOME !!

Blackie still has the same voice, that so cool.

Love WASP !!!

[deehurst777]

Went to see WASP on 3/12/07 the whole of The Crimson Idol was perfomed it was totally awesome. I agree that Blackie is underrated as a songwriter, to be honest WASP are underrated. Thanks for putting this vid on. In the vid the guy who plays jonathans brother is an english actor who is in eastenders playing part of max branning.

[samson666]

i saw this this whole album played live sat 3rd nov with all the b/w film showing behind the band telling the whole story...best wasp gig ive been to... hail wasp

[voga]

Reminds me of some pretty fucked up times.

[saynotodrug999]

u got wipe by ur dad? shitty

[mfopeth]

Crimson fucking Idol!!!!!!!!!!

\,,/

[zeldagana]

reminds me of some of the shit ive been through.

[GlaminaFabulous]

Does anybody know who is that "older" boy? Just some actor? Who?

[talditis]

what a great video

[dimebaglvson]

blackie has to be the most underrated songwriter of all time. thats whats wrong with america today, we have wasp they should be on my radio station everyday, instead of 50 cent and travis tritt

[saynotodrug999]

who travis tritt?

[lausungenwpww]

probably some nigger who raps about drugs,hoe's and fcuking up other niggers etc etc,.. you know the same old nigger rap shitte

[igordz]

sickest voice ever

[zakasaro]

great song

[hellionfb]

Blackie's voice is amazing,

"the crimson Idol" is a Masterpiece.

[oneWASPfan]

I agree 100% Probably the best rock album of the early 90's

[hellionfb]

don't forget "inside the electirc circus" or "the last command" they are THE BEST not like "TCI" but theyre only and inimtable!

[IHHBD]

and the "Still not black enough" is pretty good,and some songs of Helldorado and god neon part II-now at the 50 maybe won't see WASP album again from Blackie

[hellionfb]

Helldorado's great!"dont cry (just suck)" is pretty n.a.s.t.y... that's one of my favourite!Unfortunately i didnt listen "Still.." and "The neon..", someone should e-mail me some of the songs by these two album!-)

[Wolfwithin]

This song changed my life....

[Johal523]

One of my favorite songs for sure.

[ironleen]

great video, nice to see a part of the story of jonathan steele

[GerryGayboy]

Love this vid!
