W.A.S.P. chainsaw charlie live at Castle Donington 1992

[@monstromedieval]

THAT'S a live show! No playback, no overdub, the voice failing, the face sweating, the throat in pain, wrong notes! That's rock'n'roll!

[@mariohenriq]

That's It!!!

Crimson Idol is a masterpiece. Got to see WASP in 2008 when they played the entire album.

[@jpmcmullan8666]

I have heard this song hundreds of times the most recent being 10 minutes ago. But when Johnny Rod came in on vocals I got goosebumps

[@EclecticEcentric]

Always loved W.A.S.P. - was also awesome how Johnny Rod was a great fit with Blackie for vocals. Coked out or not, he had energy, charisma and could sing while swinging that bass around. Too bad it had to fall apart. But such is show biz

[@bertoldv]

Great group of rock.... W.A.S.P. i listen from the 80´s... and ever

[@nataliagudowska4376]

Crimson Idol is amongst the greatest albums of all time. I genuinely mean that.

I can never get used to seeing Blackie play guitar, dude just looks so iconic playing bass

[@fatalvision2]

Right. I like Johnny but Blackie on bass with Randy Piper and Chris Holmes is iconic.

Yeah it’s weird but I don’t care the man just wanted to play guitar in his own band

I was there too. 18 years old and medal mad. Donington 92 was my first ever concert, W.A.S.P were 2nd band on after Scottish rockers, The Almighty. In a few days time it will be the 30th anniversary of this show. Where does time go?

This is the first time I've seen this footage. I was there at Donington '92. This has to be the best Donington ever because ALL the bands on the bill did really well. This was one of the stand out performances of the day although I seem to remember the sound being a bit dodgy during WASP's set. Thanks for uploading. Great stuff.

[@RAbojorquez2659]

Frankie Banali not plays in this tour. The drummer is Stet Howland

[@simonhunter3430]

I guess they figured it was a better show than the '87 appearance. They didn't trash the gear/stage at the end. It wasn't raining as much, and Johnny Rod was having fun! :) They also recorded it for release as well. I remember BBC radio recorded the '87 appearance for the Friday Rock Show, but Blackie didn't think it was good enough for broadcast!

[@blakevickers6007]

[@sirphineasluciusambercromb9114]

I'm a big Slayer fan, and to me the whole Show No Mercy album sounds like WASP. WASP even had a song called Show No Mercy. The first album didn't get dropped til 1984, but Blackie and the guys had been playing it onstage at least a year before. Slayer lived in Huntington Park near the Sunset Strip in L.A.

[@CrueLoaf]

I think Slayer were on before WASP here. I was there but forgot.

[@Nivelso]

Luego de la retirada de Rod, Blackie le aumentó a los Playback para los coros y acompañamientos. Pero Rod era tremenda energía en la banda y los coros y acompañamientos los hacía muy bn, le daban más calidad a las presentaciones en vivo.

[@carlosborjas797]

Similar a lo que pasó con Metallica y la retirada de Jason, los coros en vivo perdieron tanto poder, otro ejemplo es Dream Theater y la salida de portnoy ahí le pusieron voces de acompañamiento a los temas.
