W.A.S.P. - I Wanna Be Somebody (1984)

[PaulyPearly]

Brings back memories of tracking on VHS machines ;op

[SuperJimbo68]

These guys were awesome! I never got a chance to see them, but it would have been great! Blackie's voice was so different than everyone else's. BRING BACK 80's HEAVY METAL!!!!

[80sMetallion]

I need a fuckin Hot Tub Time Machine !!!!

[aneesall]

HELL YEAH,,,,,HELLIONS CHECK OUT BLACKIE LAWLESS FACEBOOK FANPAGE 39,590 HELLIONS,,, MEET OTHER HELLIONS,,,,

[chandra368]

At 17 I loved these guys, now at 40, I still love these guys. Blackie is a mean muther f....n man !!!!!!

[thnumbe]

Shit or Super but in the 80's bands tried to do something of their own. Now (apart from rammstein) it's sissy cover crap!

[TheCodedaddy]

my mom hated my music back then but look at what it was and compare to the crap of today and she would say long live metal

[nikat78]

Fuck, give me back my hair, I want to headbang!!!

[Horrendousbitch]

this is amazing..

[davidwaters69]

this video made me blackout for several seconds and a burning sensation when i urinate

[yippee42]

I was in the 10th grade when this came out.Being 44 now still sounds fucking awesome.

[MetalHeadforChrist]

I remember seeing Chris Holmes @ the Chuck Landis country Club alot back in the early to mid 80s in Reseda checking out the shows

[i7fan]

VHS recordings on playback to rock out to... God i sometimes miss the crude but awesome 80's. :) Good times.

[yippee42]

@i7fan Yeah.....the 80's turned out some badass music.

[Alexandernero666]

WASP is like a heavy hair band with a dark image,what a concept!Very underrated!

[NinjaRunningWild]

This sort of hardassed gritty reality needs to fucking make a come back. The world has become pussy-whipped. Put some badass in the president's seat and make America mean something real again.

[NinjaRunningWild]

Ha, around the year this came out I got in trouble for bringing Ozzy Osborne Bark at the Moon to a catholic grade school.

[22bluepunk]

ah i wish 80s music came back. save us rock and roll! the music now sucks so bad!

[jaskins75]

chris holmes....mean motha fuckin man.

[CHICANOGANGSTER13]

[caspa16]

@CHICANOGANGSTER13 thank u!!!! i hate it when ppl get em confused

[lastwolflord]

can never get enough of W.A.S.P. can't tell any of you how many times some of these songs get me by while im at work. Even if im just thinking about them. Good times.

[yippee42]

TO THE FUCKING END.......TO BE SOMEBODY.

[eternalanimosity]

[bscott702]

Im 14, My Dad Introduced Me To W.A.S.P, Now They Are One Of My Favoute Bands! :D

[Ddgolem12]

@bscott702 I got kinda the same story. My dad listens to this kind of music so I asked him who they were. He said W.A.S.P. so I looked up a couple of there songs and thought they were fucking awesome!!

[Calun3]

[lars1ism]

We grew up in an era that will never be matched, never, ever!

[kzbxvz]

In Sweden W.A.S.P was a highly controversial band in1984.

[RGiacobbe]

First heard this at 15 - blood began rushing, fists became clenched, and head started banging.

Listening now at 41 - blood begins rushing, fists are clenching, and yes... my head is banging.

Blackie lives forever.

[byggreturen]

@RGiacobbe visst e det så

[byggreturen]

@RGiacobbe

[GothicGownGallows]

[dmometalguitar]

Mean, real, pure, fucking brutal heavy metal! FUCK Korn!

[Neoleuchter]

One of the best vocalists ever

[mchoy666]

To cry out !!!

[77REVOLTFORAFRIKA77]

@mchoy666  FUCKING AWESOME

[greatleahart]

[JohanasBilderberg]

I used to burn the tires on my 68 Camaro in front of my high school with this song cranked on my Alpine tape deck.

WASP \o/

[quilico]

Fuck yeah!!

[kkpriest2112]

What ever happened to good Rock N Roll? The 80's had the best music ever!

[Diocuddles]

@kkpriest2112 rock is dying out :/ it's being replaced with deathmetal and emo crap

[az6782]

@kkpriest2112 YES i agree now everybody has stuck with the stupid hiphop songs and o with the real handmade music. In mtv you can see all day hip hop videoclips and neither one metal or rock! they get on my nerves!

[hardrocker34]

Back In 1984 Was It..

[hardrocker34]

I Love This Song..Bought The Album After Watching This Video..

[YogaArmy]

WASP ROCKS! Chris Holmes cranked the 6 strings! one of my ALL time fav bands - Blackie is just an awesome songwriter!!!!!!!!

[000slander000]

This was the greatest anthem I had ever heard when I was in 8th grade!

I love the VHS film tracking issues at the bottom here lol!

[quilico]

That's the feeling man!

[LocoRico89]

You say you don't wanna run and hide A face that no-one knows And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you You hold your fist up high, And rule the zoo Oh, you just got to be Up high where the whole world's watchin me Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody To cry out!!! KISS's pyro + Alice Cooper's shock rock = WASP! \m/

[spike14501]

Back when Blackie was still playing the "Instrument of Ignorance".

[MartinSkate]

Real Fucking Rock 'N Roll!

Rock On!

[cyberfreakct38]

actually that band, that killingjustforfun posted the link isnt that bad, but its sounds like they are most related to motorhead than W.A.S.P.

[NinjaRunningWild]

@killingjustforfun Metal. Get it right!

[gm8t]

[DrakulaCod2]

Haha dirty cars XD fail but still w.a.s.p. rulez

[rudoman22]

[Heineken500]

Lengsel7: You're right!

What a riot...."...those are easy to get". That cracked me up man....

Blackie! I'm sorry.....

"...those are easy to get" HAAA!

So true.....

[Heineken500]

I want dirty cars and DIRTY MOOOONEY! Fuckin Blackie rocks. He's a real down to Earth guy, very educated and carries himself well. He's really tall too. Nice guy, very inspirational. Holmes and Piper formed a band and they're on myspace of course.

[Lengsel7]

Why would you want dirty cars? Those are easy to get. The lyrics are "Shiny cars, and dirty money"

[Distortedbass91]

lmao I did 25 sit ups while listening to this song....Thats 25 more than ive ever been able to do!

[Combo003]

WASP iz the greatest fucking band,and no shiting

[gonadotron]

I don't want to starve, pick the table crumbs that fall.

Fuck that.

[swankvanilla2009]

I like the song, but I wonder what these freaks are doing now.

[Oniryoko82]

[AndyLeeds]

No one did an anthem better than W.A.S.P.

[lastwolflord]

*pulls lighter out and begins to headbang*

[Flagman00]

Now this was METAL! I wish they would have lasted. I saw them in Norfolk, VA in 1989.

[RocknRoll1987]

This song is one of the greatest!

[BlackRaven13]

This is when they were great, nothing says metal like a codpiece that shoots sparks.

[darkshadyfigure]

Hey Dime47, did you know that Blackie was shot at twice? I'd want a safety barrier too

[razingkaine]

Awesome vid dude! This looks like the same set from the cover of their first album

[essedra]
