W.A.S.P. - 40 Years Live World Tour 2022 - at House of Blues, Las Vegas, USA. October 2022

[@DrDommm]

Blackie Lawless is a great singer, guitarist, bassist and writer. I love every W.A.S.P. release especially the Crimson Idel. Epic.

[@javtimestwo]

He is even better at lip-syncing, pretending to play guitar and using back tapes for his live performance. If anybody really believes the vocals coming out of the PA are coming from anybody on stage 🤦🏽‍♂

RIP WASP FRANKIE BANALI 1989 HEADLESS TOUR!!!! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES 🙏 🤘☠️💀

[@kamaboko1]

I saw these guys open up for Krokus. I think it was 1984 or 1985. A very different kind of performance back then. Too bad W.A.S.P. didn't bring that for the 2022 US tour. IMO Chris Holmes was "the show". A f'ing possessed nut job on stage: Angus on blow. I remember my friend and I just laughing non-stop by how eradicate Holmes was on stage. Too bad the fans couldn't see that here. It truly was the show.

[@drlemmy4551]

Wow i like it 🤘, thanks for the share.

Bring back the flaming WASP logo sign too!!

[@oxouk]

I moved to the States in 87 from England. Raised on Iron Maiden, Priest, and ACDC I had never heard of WASP. Someone gave me a copy of The Last Command and I heard Wild Child. That song is a metal masterpiece crowned with the power of Blackies voice. It still stands the test of time all these years later.

[@nickfuller20]

That whole album was great, second album I heard from Wasp...introduced to Wasp in about 1990 in California. I think The Last Command is my favorite Wasp album.

[@oxouk]

@@nickfuller20 agreed. No filler at all.

[@robertmirabilio5356]

It was great back in the days putting those flyers up and seeing Wass at the troubadour for those three legendary nights with Armored Saint!! Blackie and I live in the same town, Go to the same pharmacist. And the last time that he played in Los Angeles was at the Key club with Lizzy Borden! I believe tomorrow never dies I just came out. But such a classic show in front of only a handful of people. You could see the frustration and you could feel the Power!!

[@golgothaassassin5035]

How great would it have been if Riley, Holmes, Rod, Piper, Blackie would be doing this 40 year world tour. I seen WASP back in the day with Priest. man what a show.! don't get me wrong, I'm so glad that there is still a WASP. These guys are all at the end, it would have been great if they could have done a few shows of the originals for the legacy. WASP definitely changed hard rock and metal music.

[@DamienKarras1]

That would be great...unfortunately, Blackie is like Mustaine - anytime somebody in the band draws away even a tiny sliver of attention from him, out they go! A 'real' reunion with Holmes, Piper, and Riley would have played larger venues and commanded more $$$ but Blackie's ego just won't allow it. :(

[@MemeDogger]

​@DamienKarras1 well I guess that is true, music even in those days or hell along ways back was greedy always too some extent, I guess when these guys (and I mean the vocalists) get there voice recognized as what most people associate with a band they get caught up in an egotistical power trip..

[@TheMetalBlock380]

I think they look and sound great. A little disappointed in the stage show. Blackie sold it as going back to the old days and made it sound like it was going to be more outrageous but still cool

[@SilverStallionVideos]

I hate to sound negative (sorry!), but I wish Blackie wouldn't have that huge mic stand in front of him. It looks great, but at the least, it blocks some of the fans' view, and for some (like if you are directly in front of him), it pretty much blocks your entire view. It kind of reminds me of Zakk and how his mic stand blocks 80% of the audience from seeing his guitar playing. Sorry for the rant.

[@PoppysPixels]

A lot of younger singers from that 80s scene that lost their voice years ago. Blackie, sounds the same to me as he did in the 80s. How? One of my favorite bands from the 80s.

[@Marchosias_Rex]

He's using backing vocals...he's lip synching...Its fake

[@paulcarlin5181]

Blackie has way less mileage on his voice than many from the 80's.Maybe 100-150 shows in the last ten years? Many do that in just one year.
