[@alekskot9240]

Everytime i feel pain in my hurt.. that album makes it bigger! I find so many sad similarities of my self with the life of Jonathan, and his missguided youth... I throw away my best years of my life trying to catch un uncatchable musicians dream, a big society's lie. Always having a sad shadowed fathers figure behind my eyes and my decisions. Fortunatelly now im clean, but my soul might never recover.

I used to think this album was written about me when it first came out. The lyrics were so close to me. I agree. One of the best albums ever written.

[@anthonytabura6346]

So, it would happen to be that my older brother, Clayton ( Q ).. Was born first, I was told by my family that my grandmother died before I was born.. My mother always seemed cold to me, not knowing quite why I would find out that, my grandmother actually died with in a week of me being born.. My grandpa told me later that, he thought the reason why she treated, me and my brother different.. She saw him ( Q ) as trying to comfort her.. An me a crying baby as not allowing her to grieve.. An would always associate my birth with her mother's death.. Being born, with nose bleeds.. Some time she would neglect me.. Thank goodness my grandpa would show up from time to time.. He would take me home and clean me up.. Before they moved to another state, I guess he had told my mom, & dad not to take me if they couldn't love me.. Well, they did, I would grow up really a loner most of the time.. My father being raised roughly , and joining the Marines, and serving Vietnam.. Made him not much better, I often felt.. Like, I was in the way especially when my so-called older brother would act like a jerk to me which was quite a bit.. I did my best to.. Not let it get to me.. As ah adult now, I'm happy to say, I've gotten past a lot of it now.. I'll admit it took a while I'm not telling this as a boohoo and I know there are people who still have a worse than I do showing you all that I remain humble I like to think I have good morals despite all that.. My point is I can relate to the story I do not associate myself with it in a weird way nobody's making me shoot anybody hurt anybody or be mean to others myself.. In other words, you can not blame music, you either hold on to your morals or you don't.. So, peace and love everyone.. Thank you, BLACKIE LAWLESS.. I however do enjoy your wonderful music..

[@simonhunter3430]

I'll be honest I didn't like this album too much initially. I like the dramatic ''Arena of pleasure'' LOVE 'Chainsaw Charlie' and like 'Doctor Rockter' 'Hold onto my heart' is great too. I really much check out the full length record/dvd sometime. What I've been wondering is, did Blackie have the whole 'rock opera' written initially from the beginning, only to have to cut it down into one short album, thanks to record company hassles? (the irony!)

[@skyraider78754]

Some of the songs were written before the album as early as the 70s (check out Dont know what I am by Sister). The idea came from fans asking Blackie how do they get the same success as him. Most of the story was written around The Headless Children era (most of it was written then such as The Gypsy Meets The Boy (For Whom The Bell Tolls) and Hold On To My Heart). They rerecorded the album 2 years ago so they can release the movie which was originally intended to come out with the album in 1992. P.S. The idea for Chainsaw Charlie came from his old company before he went with Parlaphone. As Blackie said they written the song and they released W.A.S.P.

[@simonhunter3430]

@@skyraider78754 interesting. cheers!

[@simonhunter3430]

@@skyraider78754 i think i might have posted this elsewhere but i remember Blackie saying in an interview that 'Charlie' could have been Malcolm McClaren. Bearing in mind Blackie was in the New York Dolls briefly (i'm led to believe) McClaren had links with the Dolls before the sex pistols, so can see why he would say that, even though he might have meant it loosely.

I dont relate to Johnny at all...😐❗ He threatened to take the axe to my strat copy another time. I became a life long rocker! Funny how that works!
