One of my all Time Favorite bands. W.A.S.P.! Blackie sounds great.

[@truebelieverOSG]

Damn he sounds great and he looks great!

[@ChrisDeCarloMETMORPH]

Blackie sounds just as good as he did in the 80's. Thanks for posting

[@beermetal2003]

That's because it's the vocals from the studio version and he's miming.

Man, I love WASP! Thanks for posting this!

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

great to hear Blackie bring back a classic. the setlist was short and has some egregious omissions like Headless Children and Forever Free

[@pliersbittaker]

Blackie is sounding on top form I think my doubts have been erased, I'm gunna have to go see them next year!

[@zachary_attackery]

are you blind? 4:20 he's clearly lip syncing. He's literally playing the vocal track from the album and miming to it

[@doctorrockter]

Lol, you must be clueless if you don’t see he’s singing over the original vocal track.

[@CarlosRamTx]

Yeah. I'm disappointed. Looks like lip synching to me. Oh well guess he doesn't want to be slammed like Vince.

Blackie’s voice sounds just as strong as it ever was. And the band is tight and fantastic great job

[@Channel33RPM]

It appears he's using backing tracks... his voice continues when he steps away from the mic.

[@markcrawford5224]

Blackie is lip synching

[@zachary_attackery]

@@Channel33RPM Frank you should do a video on this. It's embarrassing. I had to get a hotel room and drive 3 hours there and back for this crap. No original stage show that was hyped up for months, all the good songs are cut into medleys, obvious lip syncing...its the biggest rip off of the year. At least with Kiss they still have the stage show. This is just terrible all around.

[@alfiend331]

There are backing track vocals in addition to Blackie's live vocals. I guess this is a step up from straight-up lip syncing, but it's not what I was hoping they'd do. I much prefer the Inside the Electric Circus lineup with Johnny Rod. Johnny did the backing vocals and (as far as I remember) it was all live. There's way too much of this in rock music these days. I've already seen so many comments that say "Blackie sounds great!" Of course he does! Some of it is prerecorded!

[@whamsie4022]

@@Channel33RPM He has a delay on the lead vox, band members providing live backups, and powerful audience participation.

The band sounds excellent…but I thought this tour was supposed to have a stage show that was like the early days.

Blackie said in an interview that the stage was going to be the stage design for the Inside The Electric Circus Tour, but that stage design was scrapped.

[@stuartgibson1981]

The problem with WASP live is the incessant use of lead vocals on backing track. Seriously wish he would just cut it out, especially in the really obvious parts (I fuck like a beast, feel your love etc). He can clearly still sing, so I don’t understand the need for it.

[@bobbyw1510]

[@shawnfuton6746]

He may be singing some but clearly the back track is carrying the load. It's obvious. Maybe he keeps Elvis so he can hide behind it and not been seen screwing up the lip syncing. As for how this tour was hyped, that's a pretty disappointing stage. I've been a WASP fan since 1984 and have never seen them however, so I of course would attend if this ever came near me.

[@Conan500]

I saw WASP in the 80s in London at the Lyceum and THAT was a proper show full of excitement and energy. I still love WASP but this performance has none of that old energy and the stage set is just bland and unimpressive.
