W.A.S.P. - LIVE IN ANAHEIM, CA - 10/29/22 (FULL SET!)

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

Great recording, thanks for posting. I was suppose to see them in Seattle on the second leg, but that was cancelled. They are coming back in October, but I don't think I am going to go this time, maybe next time (if it happens). But it might be a last minute ticket purchase as well hahaha. Blackie sounds great here, obviously you can hear the backing tracks, which many W.A.S.P fans still want to deny, and this is coming from someone who has W.A.S.P in their top 5 favorite bands of all time. It's not like he sings like Vince Neil or anything, the guy can still nail it.

[@starsloyalist]

oh wow that is AWESOME.

[@Fueldump]

One of the few dates of the american tour where Blackie really sings most of the songs.

[@J.T845]

Yes. The backing track comments maybe led to this. The band is helping him a lot more now. I went to the Nov 2 in houston and it was quite different. This show sounds truly live and raw. Love wasp, awesome band.

[@Bullski123]

@@J.T845 During the ongoing europe tour its all lip sync now...its sad he cant keep up his high level of vocal quality,but age,wear and tear has catched up to him....

[@J.T845]

@@Bullski123 yea i agree. Its sad. I was hearing blackie is having back issues as well and will be performing in a chair like fixture that will connect to his skeleton mic stand

[@jasonstowers3690]

Wish I could have seen this variation of the show. It’s saw the lip sync circus in Columbus. The fanboys who absolve blackie of syncing miss the point. A live show is supposed to be live. The raw vocal is much better than a tape. I could care less if he doesn’t hit all the notes anymore, just sing your ass off.

[@Bullski123]

@@jasonstowers3690 Lemmy of motorhead stayed true to that...he was ill as hell toward the end,but still performed live,despite his weak vocal performance.

[@nickfuller20]

Just saw them in Reno, awesome, awesome show! Blackie sounded amazing, great concert, Armored Saint were also on point!!

[@tanyahartner2456]

I was literally just to the left and a tad front of you. Great footage! What a fucking show!

[@LiveFromTheRaw]

Thanks! Yes, it sure was!

[@michaelfitzharris1150]

That wonderful kick drum sound that hits you in the chest. Love it. ❤. Sounds great with headphones, well done with the filming 👍✌🤘

[@LiveFromTheRaw]

Thank you! Glad you like it.

[@martymartin2894]

Drums sound awful. Too noisy just like a racket.

[@patrickgiles2700]

Really good footage, thanks for sharing! I’m so damn bummed I couldn’t make it to a show. Been my favorite band since I heard “Live: In The Raw” when I was 13 yrs old. Was planning to catch the Vegas show (I live in Salt Lake City) but had family to tend to. Blackie’s vocals still sound great and the entire band sounds on point. I’m expecting delivery of a B.C. Rich Warlock guitar today. Been wanting one ever since I saw the Crimson Idol album cover 🤘

[@jriron1]

Thanks for sharing... good job!

[@SpeedMetalAttack]

Can't wait to see them in Europe, but i think the show looks kinda disappointing... in the trailer he says: "we're taking the show back to where it all started, complete with all the fire, and all the blood that shocked the world first time" - yea not really tho'... maybe its only for the european tour they are bringing that, but i doubt it

[@rockenOne]

Just put on a cd it is the same audio, fucking karaoke machine tour...

[@kissfaq]

Thank you!

[@TheoneGodfather]

Went to see them last night in Dallas for the first time in something like twenty years. I was probably eight feet from the stage,stood through Armored Saint and MSG, then stood and waited and waited and waited. Rumors started circulating through the crowd that Blackie wasn’t even there,that the fire marshal was going to shut down the show because it was to crowded,that the band just didn’t want to play yet. Finally they made the announcement,the fire marshal was shutting down the show. The promoter had oversold the show by something like 1200 tickets. Everybody was told to leave. Unreal.

[@LiveFromTheRaw]

I heard about that! Can’t believe the promoters would do something like that. I could only imagine how the band, the crew, and the fans felt about that. Hope you get to see them again next time!

[@TheoneGodfather]

@@LiveFromTheRaw Yea I hope so. Wasp was the first band I saw, back in 84 I think, and was really looking forward to seeing them again.

[@martymartin2894]

How were the first bands allowed to play and not wasp. Sounds fishy to me that.

[@TheoneGodfather]

@Streamer Momemts There were a lot of people still filing in after the first two bands. The area in front of the stage was definitely packed elbow to elbow. The whole place was pretty packed. I don’t doubt the fire marshal shut it down because he and big group of police were right outside the exit grinning at everyone cursing them. It was packed but to me seemed manageable. The marshal was just being a dick I think.

[@martymartin2894]

@Streamer Momemts blackie pulled a stunt I'd say he's not able for all the shows he booked night after night setlist is even down to an hour now I hear, it's a joke.

[@arielgustavovazquez9256]

Que kilombo está armando BLACKIE !!!!!!!!la rompe

[@sandracarter7231]

Blackie is coming out to See See Rider at the very end of the music before they come out. Blackie is a huge Elvis Presley fan

[@matthewpaluch777]

😎👍💓🇧🇷🇿🇦💪🥁💣AQUILES!!!

[@martymartin2894]

What's with the tailed off screams at the end of his vocal lines every time. Definitely singing to tracks. So obvious that's s why he has to rush straight into electric circus without stopping because the tapes are going.

[@corey8711]

He's definitely syncing to tracks; did so for almost half the show in Nashville.

[@sandracarter7231]

They didnt do Heaven's Hung in Black at the Pittsburgh/Greensburg show....sounded great....

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Maybe it's just me but, for being the first US tour in 15 years or so, people really don't seem that enthusiastic about being at the show? Blackie announces the iconic Crimson Idol and people don't go crazy?!?! Come on everybody, lighten up ;)

[@corey8711]

The audience is 50 and 60 years old. We don't get all nuts for the same stuff we did 30 years ago.

[@Wlfgng75]

Hard to get pumped up for a lip synced show. It's painfully obvious that he isn't singing. It's more painful seeing people accept that he's lip syncing. This tour is a joke and we were all tricked into buying into it.

[@jimsokoloski1505]

Awesome, any W.A.S.P. live shows with Miss You or Lake Of Fools on it??? Thanks.

[@SuperDVDguy1]

I FUCKN LOVE YOU BLACKIE½!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alexfrag]

Using back tracks?!

[@corey8711]

Tons of them.

[@salommy]

Since the 90s

[@adamblackedition5529]

lol who keeps throwing that balloon around?

[@arthurthomas44]

It was a teddy bear, and they did it all night!

[@Wishpool]

It's so incredibly annoying! I can't believe that person didn't get their ass kicked, or thrown out by the venue. That would've lasted about 30 seconds here in Houston before they were stopped. 🤣 Luckily, we had a great show without teddy bears at a WASP show! 🤘

[@tonyp1313]

Chris Holmes should sue him for using his image during L.O.V.E. Machine while some other hack plays his solo.

[@adamblackedition5529]

no he signed contracts, so he cant do that ...

[@patrickgiles2700]

I like Chris, but he was a drunken idiot back when he should have paid more attention to details like this. His fault. Still love the guy but while he was guzzling vodka Blackie was doing the due diligence.

[@adamblackedition5529]

@@patrickgiles2700 exactly, blackie knows that being in a band is a business, it's not just drugs, party and girls...chris was dumb...

[@patrickgiles2700]

@@adamblackedition5529 Yep. It’s sucks, I mean we all want to think the music prevails but the truth is if you’re going to earn a living doing it, and involve lots of promoters and production staff there have to be rules established. A simple equity split among band members sounds fair but only if all members are pulling equal weight.

[@jeremybilbrey1133]

the phone thing is BS

[@martymartin2894]

I know priester is a good drummer but I think the drums sound awful on all these shows there too loud and noisy don't seem to be tuned right he should know better.

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Blackie hasn't played with a good drummer since Stet Howland :/

[@martymartin2894]

@@MichaelHolmgaard I agree stet was great.

[@markrobinson8050]

So what ...tracks no tracks who cares I don't..the rock rolls on

[@corey8711]

Agreed. It was more often and more obvious than I expected, but it was my first and likely my last opportunity to see WASP so who cares.

[@rockenOne]

Nah it is pathetic and shit to cheat

[@7_31_73]

Look at how his left thumb is constantly hanging over the guitar neck. He is not playing

Blackie isnt even playing the guitar

Blackie, make up with Chris and do it once for us.
