To the people who haven't sat down and seriously listen to the talent that this man and his band have shown your missing out on some great work. I say work because the music that this band has produced goes beyond just songs on a Lp or disk.

Seen W.A.S.P. In the early 80s at a small venue maybe 2000 people but the floor was open so maybe more. Can’t remember all the other bands but Michael Schenker was the headliner. Why I remember WASP was because everyone was throwing their shoes at them and they just kept playing. Why they wanted to go home shoeless beats me, but the floor was covered with them . Me , my brother and our friend use to hang out till everyone left and search the floor for money or weed and what ever else we could find and always scored on something. F ck I miss those days and my bro Bob and honorary bro Paul , both left this earth to soon...hope that we all meet again some day!

Best album Wasp has ever done! If only they had Bob Kulick on guitar there, we also would've seen the best W.A.S.P lineup ever on stage. The guitars are very significant on The Crimson Idol, but none of the guitarists that Blackie recruited since, has been able to capture the quality of Bob Kulick at all. Stet Howland though, is such a sick drummer. Love those relentless drum rolls throughout the album. Genius trait to have there
