Thank you so much for the wonderful reaction to a great song!!!

[@PitVanRooster69]

Nobody, and I mean nobody, else could sing this song as well as Blackie Lawless. His vocal style is perfect for portraying the emotion in this song. ✌

[@Nekrovelho]

You're right, he has a very unique sound... I could imagine Alice Cooper could have done an interesting take on this, he's got similarly "dirty" sounding voice.

[@AlLuiPigus]

Well, since supposedly this song and album are inspired by his life, I guess it's not only his vocals that are matching the song's emotion :)

[@mix6809]

yes ur right, blackie has an emotional tone to his voice that is hard to match

[@alekskot9240]

Basically.. noone can sing like him!..

[@vennexx]

It was borne of his soul. And he poured out everything into this album. Making it one of the best albums ever made. Sound and soul is what makes it. Younger bands. Take heed. If ya make a song, pour every emotion in your heart into it. Cry, crack, make people feel what you feel. That's power. And that's what makes something people will remember.

[@Floppy_Bacon]

WASP are so damn underrated it's criminal. Blackie Lawless' voice is one of the very best. And WASP as a band are master musicians. I Love WASP ❤

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

totally under rated band, great song

[@adalwulf435]

How is it under rated? It's one of the most famous and unique bands to come out of the 80's. They made headlines everywhere.

[@xombiekat13]

@@adalwulf435 They just aren't talked about much compared to their counterparts. They should be up there with Maiden and Priest. Motley Crue got a fucking movie and they were half the band WASP was (imo).

[@tonemarieantonsen1597]

Thanks for reacting to W.a.s.p .They deserve more recognition. ☺

[@jamesmcconnell8969]

i agree. they were always lumped into the hair metal genre, but they were so much more than that

[@johncodee9175]

@@jamesmcconnell8969 Well said! They were better than Crüe et al IMO! 👍

[@enki2958]

This is one of the very few songs that I wish would never end.

[@ingobordewick6480]

WASP - Heavens hung in black ... one of the greatest ballads of all time!

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Agreed.

[@danadickerson91]

This is such a beautiful song. So much emotion and so powerful. I wanted to add it to my laundry list of requests, but didn't. The album it's on is a concept album that is the soundtrack for a film called The Crimson Idol. I've not seen it, but I'll get to it soon, I hope. Another song by WASP that I'll recommend is Forever Free. It's another powerful and emotional song. #MetalChickPick

[@Ilikeryche]

Blackie Lawless has such a unique voice, I especially like "sleeping in the fire".

[@zeenaabdura5686]

One of my favorite songs also.

[@Carvetii]

Thanks for playing my request guys glad you enjoyed W. A. S. P very underestimated band they have an amazing playlist and well worth a look

[@walter7895]

Thanks for playing my song. I had a great birthday. Blackie Lawless the lead singer and founder of the band has never come out and said what it stands for. Their debut album had the words We Are Sexual Perverts on it, while others say it stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. He has also said it stands for we ain't sure pal, and also that it is just a bug. Another favorite song of thiers is Wild Child. That was my nickname in high school, I graduated in 1986.

[@huck944]

We are self promoters.

[@Fedorevsky]

Happy belated birthday, Walter!

[@kitimomgraves]

Actually, now it stands for We Are Still Praying

[@thelastheteroincali]

What a Spectacular performance

[@rogergourde5657]

seen them open for KISS Animalize tour and Blackie said it stood for WE ARE SEXUAL PERVERTS. way too underrated,they were soooo awesome live.

[@ll7868]

The drummer on this album is Frankie Benalli from Quiet Riot, his work on it is exceptional.

[@jamesmyers4687]

[@jamiestidiford6684]

Didn't Bob Kulick play guitar on this album as well?

[@tomdavis3488]

Great song

[@waynevarrelman9363]

Guitar solo is that of "comfortably numb "

[@lorendunn9309]

Blackie has a voice you can hear to your bones. The very beginning of the song has a talking part that actually sets the tone of the song. WASP really are an underrated band.

[@ArvoR]

golden era of metal

[@bernardthierstein907]

Fantastique morceau

[@chaoticoldbore]

The album this is off is probably worth a listen. It is a concept album that tells the story of the rise and fall of a rockstar. #painintheask Alien Weaponry - Kai Tangata #NewZealandKids #thefutureofmetalisingoodhands

[@Stranglethroat]

That guitar at the start, that sounds like it's coming from far away through an abandoned hallway... Goosebumps. Every time.

[@stevenhunt1009]

Always liked W.A.S.P. and it was interesting to watch them evolve musically with each album. Still enjoy their first album for it's raw energy and sound.

[@billsmith11]

I'm the same on this , He's a genius and evolved quickly He has metamorphosis I swear , he has morphed over and over again , with the results becoming clearer to those who know nothing about metal or even what the lyrics mean or for that matter, saying

[@Savatage1964]

One of my favorites from W.A.S.P.... True story: I was so afraid of these guys when they first came out...just because of the pictures of blood and gore surrounding them in the magazines and album cover. I thought they were demonic...and with a moniker of WE.ARE.SEX.PERVERTS. well, that didn't help either. But one day about 7 or 8 months after they came out I saw a clear vinyl single of "F**k Like A Beast" at a record store and thought, okay...this might be a collectors item one day so I bought it and since then have never regretted giving this band a chance. Blackie RULES !! And yes...still got the album up on the closet shelf.

[@billb.5183]

Blackie Lawless is really an amazing vocalist. Good choice of song.

[@sirjackhaji116]

Your response to the solo makes me just say to my self you deserve a like ... respect from bahrain 🇧🇭

[@roaringviking5693]

RIP Bob Kulick

[@mikeyb8040]

One of my favourite bands ever. This album and the one before it (Headless Children) are absolutely amazing. Nothing like their earlier stuff which was fun but not musically brilliant. Nice choice Walter. I approve \m/ Happy Birthday

[@chaoticoldbore]

This album was almost life changing for me twice, once when it first came out and again near 10 years later where I bonded with with a now ex girlfriend listening to it.

[@Savatage1964]

Headless Children...good call !

[@BlackieNuff]

Dude, you gotta get Still Not Black Enough. It's an amazing album and builds on many of the themes from TCI. Not a "sequel" but there are some references to crimson/red and Jonathan. If you like Lawless ballads, you cannot find anything more emotive than "Holding On" and "Breathe" (both from SNBE). And if you can find all the singles or the international releases with bonus tracks, you'll be treated to the most cover songs within a single album's recording sessions. Jefferson Airplane - "Somebody To Love" AC/DC - "Whole Lotta Rosie" AC/DC - "It's A Long Way To The Top" Queen - "Tie Your Mother Down" and, if you include the TCI album's singles / bonus tracks : Led Zeppelin - "When The Levee Breaks"

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

haha yeah! Just what basically commented. Exactly right! Their 80's was cool and fun but they grew into something very, very, very talented! WASP is like the only band I can even think of where I like their latter stuff more than their 80's stuff and to me the 80's is the pinnacle of metal. Not the case with WASP. They blossomed into something out of this world.

[@brit8057]

The last command got me Into them when I was 7!!! The crimson idol is one of the greatest albums ever written

[@hannukujanen3522]

love this song!..love ur reaction!!

[@Helldorado72]

I spoke with Bob Kulick a few years ago at a KISS expo about working with W.A.S.P. on this album and he said he worked at the solo's in this song for nearly 24 hrs. till Blackie was happy with it. He shines on this album....

[@riff8114]

White Anglo Saxon Protestant...W.A.S.P...American Heavy Metal Band from Hell/ WASP Army🎸🤘🤙

Blackie once anwsered what the letters stood for,he responded:We Aint Sure Pal 😊

The only thing I heard back in the day was We Are Satans People. Never gave it a lot of thought back then and never gave a shit. WASP is still one of my favs from 80's.I was fortunate enough to see them opening for KISS. We need more WASP

The one I'd heard was We Are Sexual Perverts

Only just found you guys! This was beautiful to watch... I subscribed straight away.... ❤️🤘🤘

[@manowKISS1234]

WASP is the awesomeness of metal! No Blackie Lawless vocal is matched!

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Indisputable. His voice is legendary. Many could argue Dio perhaps but it's all subjective and variety makes the spice of life. I say equals. There may be a few others on the same level too but when talking about likes of Blackie, your talking about a very small group now of the best of the best no matter how ya slice it.

[@richardturk7162]

Black Sabbath was the beginning of metal/ heavy music. I saw them on their first US tour and I have been a metal head ever since and I'm 71 and still listen to and play metal guitar. I have gone thru all genres and now its more melodic metal I am playing now. Metal has the most devoted fans too.

[@angryalanrants9574]

Wasp is great. Amazing band. Still pumping out records. #painintheask Helloween “king for 1000 years “ Live on three continents

[@dustingreskie2073]

#painintheask. In 1985 the worlds best Metal vocalists and musicians under the leadership of Ronnie James Dio collaborated on a track in response to USA for Africa's "We are the world" and the UK's "Band Aid" to raise money for famine relief. This epic is pure Eighties Metal and I'm sure you'll both love the insane lead break featuring the best guitarists in the business. You have to watch this video. #painintheask Hear' N Aid - Stars.

Blind In Texas from The Last Command. W.A.S.P. came out in the hight of the Hair Metal years where the PMRC was putting labels on albums and Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister), Frank Zappa and John Denver (yes, John Denver) appeared before Congress to speak up against censorship. The hearings are on KZbin, it’s a trip to watch Dee, Frank and John testify against government censorship. \m/ Stay Metal \m/

Love the way u and ur wife do this together, and y'all seem like you are enjoying it to spending some quality time with each .. listening to some great music you guys are making wonderful memories for each other amazing just wanted to say that!

You two rock, glad to see your enjoying the great music thats out there. Check out Golgotha from# Wasp, graphic video but so powerfull. They are an awesome band

How about Heavens hung in black by wasp? Kel will love it.

[@Nekrovelho]

Great to see you do W.A.S.P. they're quite underrepresented in reaction channels... and it's bizarre you've never heard W.A.S.P. but then again it's not too late! Twisted Sister, especially old, is GREAT and so underappreciated! Don't you agree there's some similarity to Blackie's and Dee's voice at times? I grew up listening to both (and other stuff like KISS, Maiden and eventually Metallica etc) and they've never really left me even after moving to more extreme metal.

I met W.A.S.P On the last Command Tour here in Columbus Ohio at a record store called Buzzard's Nest records they had a meet and greet there the day Of the show and On the way there I had to stop at a red light it was about two blocks away from the record store and this white limousine pulled up next to me at the red light I didn't think nothing Of it. I didn't know they were in the limousine until Chris Holmes and Randy Piper stuck their heads up out Of the sunroof and freaked me out..Rawk!On from OHIO

[@tombstoneearth7833]

Crimson Idol is up there in my all time favorites. #painintheask Magna Carta by Magellan. This came out around the time of Dream Theater's Images and Words, and is a great prog epic in the early 90s vein.

Seen them play the majority of this album at Donington '92. They were mid bill. Was 15 at the time. Great day out.

[@johncodee9175]

So wanted to go to that gig specifically to see WASP and Slayer but had to stay at home in Wigan and listen to them live on Radio 1 instead! Was so gutted for not going! 😣😉

[@dethhead22]

When Blackie wrote this album he wanted to show everyone the harsh and downside of the rock star life. The side that is rarely seen by everyone.

[@tonemarieantonsen1597]

Oh sure he did ☺Saw the re idolized show. Amazing show ❤

[@chaz9801]

Blind in Texas was my one of my favorites.

[@chazzmichaelmichaels5766]

This song is from the masterpiece "The Crimson Idol" by WASP. It is a rock opera about a man that finds out fame is an illusion. Rich, if you want to hear a powerful song check out "Godless Run" by WASP. It will blow you away!

[@MattG1982]

You guys have to dive into some Dax Riggs if you’ve never heard him before he’ll change your life! he has 4 bands so i’d say Acid Bath-“Bleed Me and Ocean”, Agents of Oblivion- “Phantom Green”, Deadboy and the Elephantmen- “Stop, I’m Already Dead” and Dax Riggs Solo “Say Goodnight to the World Hearya Live Session” would be good places to start...you won’t be disappointed :)

[@scottgates302]

Kel’s reaction was awesome

[@ZBlacktt]

Metal is timeless.

[@arthurromero9172]

The best representation of who was was back in the 80s is the song "wild child" and "love machine".....but most notably "I fuck like a beast" was the song that made them that thing you needed to see what it was about

[@johnpersun7697]

This came from an album of my personal top 100. It's in there with the likes of Queensrÿche: Operation Mindcrime and Savatage: Streets. This is Blackie's Magnum Opus and I give this Album a perfect score of 10. It will always be in my play deck till the day I die. Now let's pass some of these hidden gems onto the next generation.

The Crimson Idol is the name of the whole album which is a concept album. One of the greatest songs on the whole album is "The Great Misconceptions Of Me". You guys should listen to the whole album.BTW this is different from there normal music. For that check out their album Inside the Electric Circus.

[@zackamanda9799]

"The Last Command " is my favorite album from W.A.S.P. My first W.A.S.P. album was there first album , after hearing I Wanna Be Somebody. My favorite song from the first album was School Daze , the words related to everything I was dealing with in high school at the time.....Burn it down !!!!!!!!!!

[@strogaa]

The whole "crimson idol" concept-album is really worth a try. Fantastic songs with great lyrics. Never got the attention that it deserved, cause it was released in those years when Grunge was big. But if you like ballads like "The Idol", you should listen to "Forever free" from the "Headless children" album, another great masterpiece from WASP. And... you nice people brought a big smile into my face today: Cum on feel the noize from Quiet Riot! Yeah!! Love you both!! This was THE song, that infected me with the Heavy Metal-virus. Back in `83, on a boring trip with the family one sunday afternoon, listening to radio-recorded stuff on a (cheap) mc with my cousin's (really cheap) walkman and those crapy headphones we used to have those days... and I'll never forget this nearly orgiastic moment when that song started my "metal fever" with the first riff.

[@richardturk7162]

They look like they need to get a room sometimes when he starts rubbing her arm. The lead guitar on this track was the late Bob Kulick brother to Bruce Kulick of KISS. Bob Kulick influenced me greatly as a guitar player. He plays with such emotion. RIP Bob we still enjoy all your music.
