Reverend Reacts to the song Golgotha by W.A.S.P. (Passion Week Bonus!)

[@SolaMelodica]

WASP knocks it out of the park with this song! ENJOY!

[@jasoncherry4221]

ive heard this song a 1000x and it brings me to tears everytime,,thank you jesus for paying for the sins of the world

[@SolaMelodica]

This song, IMHO, is nearly perfect.

[@gregkral4467]

Blackie went through a huge transformation in his coming to God. I thank you for reviewing this..... it has me in tears since I found it...... I love how he told this story,,,,,,,, Thank you.

[@Carvetii]

blackie lawless has one of the best voices in Rock. i am in the uk and they are such an underrated band i go see them everytime they come over here. 11 times now and cant wait to they come back

[@SolaMelodica]

I agree his voice is awesome. Not sure who else does the slow songs as well as him. Cheers!

[@gregkral4467]

How powerful, he reminded me I had to ask for help, I needed Him in my heart and soul, I needed help..... Reminded me to remember and pray and talk, pray, ask, humble, and...... guess what..... help did come. Thank God. Praise.

[@Childsplay68]

I grew up listening to Alice Cooper, WASP and Megadeth back in the 80s, the lead singers are now all christian. Thank God.

[@darylsandlin5871]

Absolutely loved this video/reaction....I've been a serious W.A.S.P. fan since I was 13 in 1983....I'm almost 52 & getting sober again after a 3 yr drinking & pill taking binge....last 10 yrs....family deaths, divorce.ect. Anyhow, your video reaction to Golgotha for me was a great song reaction & a great sermon in a way & I just wanted to say thank you!! As a 10 yr...somewhat Christian who needs & ewants to come back to Jesus....I needed this tonight!! Awesome my man :-)

[@SolaMelodica]

thank you, Daryl. Praying for you!!

[@a.b.317]

This song is a masterpiece in its arrangement I still get chills listening to it "God have mercy upon me, a sinner"

[@SolaMelodica]

Me too!

[@bhutchin1996]

I read that Blackie Lawless has always been inspired by classical music. As for me, I get Queen's "The Show Must Go On" vibes from this song, and that's a compliment!

[@berisvensun5989]

For a forlorn metalhead like me, who has no other way to relate, this song helps a lost soul like me believe there is hope. The composition presented by Blackie is beyond compare.

[@ornellarose6378]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@1lthrnk]

Pontius Pilate wrote a letter about the crucifixion and how Jesus was an innocent man. He was haunted by the death of Jesus. Pilate killed himself on orders from the emperor Caligula

[@1221tesla]

This is a very powerful song. I’ve seen reactions by non-believers that real get the meaning of this song. Great choice!! Blackie is one of the most underrated voices and song writers in history. If you listen to the Crimson Idol album it’s a journey down a very dark road of someone that basically sold there soul for fame after a very painful childhood. It’s raw and disturbing but something that I feel everyone should hear. Especially Christians that are narrow minded. It’s not for the weak at heart but the confusion, pain and being lost are thrown right in your face.

[@SolaMelodica]

thanks, I love Blackie's style and will listen to that entire record soon.

[@OneEyedJack1970]

I let a friend listen to one song, and he got the whole album and played it constantly. He doesn't even like metal. It obviously struck a chord with him.

[@robert9495]

Lord be praised !

[@markcloer2274]

Brilliant analysis of a brilliant song Tim. As I mentioned before, I highly recommend "Godless Run" and "Hallowed Ground" for your review. Keep it up, so glad I found your channel. Mark

[@SolaMelodica]

Thanks, Mark. I'm compiling a list and it's getting larger all of the time!

This is a killer tune. The guitars are amazing. Blackie always sounds good.

[@SolaMelodica]

agree. great song!

[@slamdancer1720]

To me it comes off as a prayer set to music. Absolutely beautiful.

[@SolaMelodica]

Agree, beautiful.

[@robrand4891]

if Blackie Lawless can pull this kind of reaction out of you just with his words and voice? yeah, its says something about the man. He's a born again, and not a thing wrong with that. Long live Metal!!

[@SolaMelodica]

Nothing at all. thanks!

[@tonemarieantonsen1597]

Imagine seeing Blackie singing golgotha live with 3 big screens with the music video behind him. It's a incredible experience 😊❤Love W.a.s.p so much ❤

[@SolaMelodica]

EPIC!

[@tonemarieantonsen1597]

[@ginterka381996]

I'm catholic and I love this song too. God bless you. 🙏😌

blessings!

[@laudanum669]

Blackie Lawless is now a practicing Christian and WASP's newer music often reflects that. He also no longer performs certain earlier WASP songs.

[@SolaMelodica]

Thanks for that tidbit. Great song from a great songwriter.

[@wolverine669]

Mentioned here many times already, but yes, Blackie is a born again christian. As he said himself, he's bilingual in religion vice. In his earlier age, he ended up studying occult for years but later on he found faith. Truly amazing musician.

[@SolaMelodica]

Yes. Amazing.

[@johnathonmckenzie7148]

My first concert was WASP / Slayer / Raven in Kalamazoo Michigan.

[@dawnkiser6800]

This song is amazing.

[@SolaMelodica]

Definitely! So powerful.

[@brysonwood8356]

Certainly thankful for salvation Stumbled across this song a while back. Did not know then that Blackie Lawless was Christian 👍🙏👏✝️

[@SolaMelodica]

yes!

[@kathymason9730]

This is one of the most powerful songs and Blackie Lawless has the best metal voice ever. Another good song I think you will enjoy by them is called Unholy Terror/Charisma and there is a fan made video which has the lyrics and the meaning behind the lyrics, it is all about the anti-christ and I am not sure if Blackie had come back to the faith when that was written but it is a very powerful song too. Blackie has always been a born again Christian, he became one at the age of 11 but got disillusioned by organised religion and then got into the occult for about 3 years and realised that it was just another form of organised religion and stayed away from his faith for 20 years and then came back. He is the real Prodigal Son. Thank you so much for reacting to this song.

[@SolaMelodica]

My pleasure!

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

I do believe Blackie Lawless is a born-again Christian :-)

[@SolaMelodica]

Awesome

[@gregkral4467]

And one thing most in heart when I think, my ex and her family said from some source... "Church is not a hotel for saints, but hospital for sinners."

[@chazzmichaelmichaels5766]

"saved by his grace", that's what it is about brother! Please check out "My Godless Run" by WASP. You may weep!

[@biff9926]

Blackie Lawless may have been born specifically to write this song.

[@Myhistory123]

You might like the band Stryper. They were a Christian metal band from the 1980s. I would recommend the songs To Hell with the Devil or The Way.

[@SolaMelodica]

thank you. I have that one on my list to get to eventually. Apparently, they were quite popular.

[@slamdancer1720]

They are still around and better than ever. Check out Yahweh

[@derekpetersen7571]

It is finished 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️

[@scarafereastra]

The thief to his left was named Dismas. It's a shame i found that out by researching into a video game charcater, but hey, it's knowledge. (Dismas the Highwayman from darkest dungeon)

[@SolaMelodica]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@Fleshaga]

I'm an atheist. Still enjoyed your video and subscribed.

[@SolaMelodica]

Thanks - please stick around.

[@Otakutunes1]

WASP is the best band ever. Just getting into this album and damn...

[@garyhawkins1145]

Blackey lawless had a heart change....born again christian!!! Won't perform a lot of the old wasp songs because of this... Has a great testimonial.... And a great gift!!! Amen.

[@SolaMelodica]

This song is EPIC!

[@michaelfoulker5137]

Great song. But i liked wasp from the beginning . His talent for telling a story ,has always been there. Has there been an evolution, yes . Thing is ive liked the story at every stage of his career. Salute

[@brianjones5862]

Wow. Just wow. I'm a Christian, but like you, back in my younger days I was really into wasp. I hope they too have changed.

[@SolaMelodica]

This song is an instant classic --- IMHO

[@crimsondraak3024]

So good 👍

[@SolaMelodica]

Thanks, Crimson!

[@jpmopar]

i think parts of the song is to be from the thief who mocked Jesus till the crows plucked his eyes out til he died unsaved

[@jojja777]

I hope and believe you would appreciate Saviour Machine.

[@SolaMelodica]

I will give 'em a listen. thanks

[@Fleshaga]

Your god is like Marvel to me. If it's good, i'll watch the next one.

[@SolaMelodica]

interesting?

[@Axe_Slinger]

Dismas was the name of the Penitent thief. Gestas was the impenitent thief.

Thanks

Check out the official lyric video for Painkiller by Judas Priest..it may surprise you.

I'm a huge JP fan. The lyrics did surprise me.

[@johnkelley2201]

Wow, amazing to see that Blackie Lawless has obviously become a Christian, now. Pretty sure he won't do the song Animal anymore. God works in very mysterious and wondrous ways, Amen!✝♥

[@SolaMelodica]

Yes, he stopped doing certain songs long ago.

[@kevinanderson9864]

Blackie grew up a preacher's kid

[@bryanwhite5356]

His parents were in a cult

[@Sherrodja]

Much appreciated... Keep the videos coming please. And yes, I too find Passion of the Christ , difficult to watch and I'm by no means squimish. BTW, the song Sleeping in the Fire by W.A.S.P. has to be the polar opposite of Golgotha. Awesome instrumental but the lyrics though hypnotic is very dark.

[@SolaMelodica]

Yea, Lawless is one of the best - if not the best - at singing those ballads.

[@terriecooperman7232]

Try maiden number of the beast,or writing on the wall all quotes from the bible

[@SolaMelodica]

Thanks for the recommendations.

[@kathymason9730]

They copped a lot of flak for that song. I love them too. Saw them in 1982. Their drummer Nicko is a born again Christian.
