W.A.S.P. - I Wanna Be Somebody - Live @ White Oak Music Hall - Houston, TX 11/2/22 4K HDR

[@mikeg.9238]

I can't believe how good Blackie's voice is at his age , still being able to scream like that! I saw them a few times and they were great , but unfortunately they haven't played near my area in over 25 years! The first time was when they opened up for Metallica and Armored Saint opened for them. It was the Kill Em All tour at a small club and Blackie came out of a giant skull and threw raw meat into the crowd , we paid $10 for tickets!

[@user-bl6ne3hc6n]

You know why he sounds great because he didn't sing high like all those other bands QR, Stryper ,,Dokken, Motley Crue he sung low back then and it sounds just as good now than it was in 1984,,, that's a smart move if he did it on purpose good job sing low because in your 60s you have to resing these songs

[@mikeengel6526]

just an FYI, it was Kill Em All tour that you saw, it was Ride the lightening tour. Just saying. :

[@raybones3150]

Word💯

[@Glostahdude]

It’s HIS natural voice he don’t force it. Longevity!! I been listening for damn near 40 years now!

[@hannu8755]

Hell yeah! 🤘 His voice is absolutely great! 👍🤘🔥

[@mtaffer]

I have to give Blackie credit for keeping his voice so recognizable and so strong all of these years.

[@poppycock6572]

Funny how Bon Jovi is choking out "Dead or Alive" and Blackie and the WASP crew are still belting out this stuff!? Blackie is an absolute MONSTER 💯% badass 🤘

[@Rambo454]

W.A.S.P. is one of my absolute favourite classic heavy metal bands. Can't wait to see 'em in April 🤘

[@franktrainer169]

Crimson idol is a masterpiece . I didn't really listen to wasp until my 30's I'm 63 and will jam wasp full blast driving

[@billfenton7147]

We really need this show up here in Alberta, Canada!!!!!!!!!! Although I discovered W.A.S.P. at an early age and have loved them for many many years, I never got the chance to see them live.

[@MegaDknox]

Sounds great. Blackie needs to ask Chris to do a few shows as a special guest.

[@rhettcorbett3346]

Blackie is somebody. A fkn LEGEND.

[@LuckyLarry33]

Unbelievable! This is hard work paid off!

[@TM-tr3wb]

I saw them twice in the 80’s in Philly. Blackies voice sounds just as good today.. crazy guys that sing like him usually have throat issues. He’s killing it still!

[@SISTER76]

W.A.S.P. is HEAVY METAL

[@StudioDaVeed]

Love it when Blackie gets on his little grocery store style rocky back and forth horsey ride thingy...

[@RichGLIVE]

😂😂

[@pablohofer3508]

He is somebody! Just awesome!

[@TMoody]

This guitar player is killer.

[@jorgecarlosdiaz2686]

Through the years wasp has been a band not easy to forget. With an unstoppable force they heading to the furure with proud and strenght. They style is unique un the rock and roll Word without variation in their Quality. Not much band of the 80 last forever a lot of time like them with that incredible sound and a voice like blakie.

[@RichGLIVE]

Thanks for watching!

[@markkimball1569]

They sound great. Wow. I am brought back about 30+ yrs 😂🤘🏼

[@Hoglife]

Saw the original Wasp in the 80’s with Slayer and Raven.Raven got booed off the stage,threw a fit and destroyed all their equipment,Both opened for Slayer,Slayer was fucking amazing

[@re8746]

I saw the Blind in Texas tour in Austin. King Kobra, WASP and Ted Nugent. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@MickMFTaylor]

Was this San Antonio 🤔

[@spaghetticowboy8228]

I remember paying $5 to go see them live. Those were the days

[@stefanklaus1652]

He’s a legend keep on rocking blacky

[@miguelcervantesduarte7787]

[@commonsense9235]

[@user-bl6ne3hc6n]

Man this great,,when I was kid I needed a replacement band, cause kiss took the makeup off and did lick it up,, God that sucked,, Motley did theater of pain,,,even worst,,and one day I stubbled this song and band,, I FELL IN LOVE EMEATELY

[@greentongueman]

Magnificent

[@142horizon]

I often see a lot of pauses in his guitar playing. In those moments where he stops playing - who IS playing bass, or is it prerecorded?

[@RichGLIVE]

Bass player is stage right. Blackie is 2nd guitar these days

[@Sforce1975]

Damn.... His voice is still the same... 🤘🏼

[@keithmccormick860]

Now that’s cool you’re playing Texas probably bikeimg up ride hard 📢

[@akadkins69]

blackies voice is from another planet

[@skobiewan3247]

great show...no raw meat though....I guess to expensive now to throw out in the audience! LOL!

[@RichGLIVE]

😂 Right! Not with these prices!

[@raybones3150]

You don't want the Rock House's bloody stones!😂🥶💯

[@joenord68]

Blackie for President! 😎😎😎

[@robcarrier1969]

So, it pretty much looks like a regular Wasp show to me. I thought this tour was supposed to be about bringing the original 'show' to people who never witnessed it? Even the setlist for this tour is just same old same old. Blackie's cried wolf one too many times for me.

[@Turboy65]

While I LOVE the fact that so many of the great 80s metal bands are still working and giving the fans something to do on a Saturday night (Go to their concert), I also have to understand why they're doing it. Because of the internet, because of piracy of music, because of cheap streaming audio, these days a band makes its money from TOURING, not from record sales. Record sales are now trivial compared to what they can make off of a well promoted series of concerts. And that is why your tickets to the show cost you 250 dollars each...or more.

[@QuickZ_]

Blacke Lawless voice is ntohing but a miracle. Sounds just as good as on record. runs a bit out of breath but thats part of the show haha. But the sound is spot on recording level.. Should not be possible to preserve it this good

[@Holliz73]

Is it Aquilles Priester on drums?

[@RichGLIVE]

It is

[@bigchief3917]

🤘😀🤘

[@Tiggerozzy]

❤️‍🔥🔥🤘🔥❤️‍🔥

[@SteveFanning-xq9ji]

Spinal Tap took it to 11- W.A.S.P. takes it to 15

[@garypruett269]

This is the only WASP song i remember from the 80s.

[@RichGLIVE]

😮😮

[@brownwrench]

Too bad Chris Holmes could not be there

[@RichGLIVE]

Likely never to happen, but I’d love to see that too!

[@franktrainer169]

Just found a video last night Chris Holmes beat his cancer and back out doing it did wild child and mean man gotta be honest his guitar that tone still shredding that guitar . It's on KZbin

[@franktrainer169]

Never say never Blackie when asked about Chris and his cancer seemed genuinely concerned older and maybe over the old BS you never know, kk said he would never play with priest again . They kicked ass at the Rock hall induction

[@MarceloRomero360]

No torture rack?!

[@Leon.16]

He's not using any backing tracks in this song! This is his own voice and it still sounds like it could cut through metal!!! Long live Blackie!

[@jackanderson1979]

Least the fire Marshall didnt shut down

[@RichGLIVE]

Yeah, that was an awful situation. Apparently that venue has a history of packing too many people in, and finally got caught it sounds like. I almost drove up for that show too. I would have been PISSED!

[@black1964sabbath]

マイクスタンドなんとかせえ😆 歌ってる時ブラッキーが見えねえじゃねえーか。

[@dominiquephilibert3725]

Wasp kiss Metallica Maiden Mötley crue udo and many more never die 👍👹🗼

[@RichGLIVE]

Thanks for watching! 👊🏻

[@ubermensch6669]

This is not wasp to me ,it’s the blackie lawless solo project .Nothing compares to the 82/83 lineup

[@franktrainer169]

Really?? Blackie is wasp always was always will be.

[@Zulgurub]

It's solid but I loved John Holmes and Randy Piper in the band. Piper is particularly under appreciated- total badass and a nice guy.

[@stevenreid6054]

Does he get on that thing like a small child riding motorcycle on a spring at the playground that is got to be so ridiculous for a 60 something
