W.A.S.P. - Wild Child (Live - Graspop Metal Meeting 2014 - Dessel - Belgium)

[@dalestrom1]

Guy's voice is still on point. Blackie has one of the coolest and most unique voices in metal history.

[@MichelleReichenbach0501]

+Dale Strom Damn Straight he does...

[@carolirizarry2049]

I say other bands wish they were WASP; other singers wish they were Blackie. Great bands come and go; some are still hot, but WASP is soooo good. He is an amazing songwriter, too.

[@robertthompson8058]

Rabbit in Red. He's the man

[@redheadedvengeance8556]

Blackie sounds great but he needs his skunk hair back (but invert it - grey with two black stripes)

[@j3dwin]

I was going to say the same thing but you said it better. Great voice!

[@Kraaayn]

Probably one of the most underrated band ever

[@chrismontreuil2206]

I agree real metal here.

[@zoso1980]

The line up with Piper, Lawless, Holmes - yes indeed. It was great. That's the ashes this thing Blackie calls WASP is living off of. This is just a coverband with Blackie fronting it. No disrespect to the musicians though.

[@BetoKaosZDejavu]

[@edgard110]

как же вы достали своим термином "недооцененный"! это одна из самых известных рок групп за всю историю! какую оцененность ты еще хочешь? чтобы их плакаты во всех городах мира висели?

[@MrStark2U]

The drummer is absolutely living it up! excellent!

[@seantravis9095]

Still sounds amazing after almost 40 years. Wow. The music, Blackie's vocals. Holy shit. He carries his voice like no other.

[@ryanramdin2639]

Wasp was therapy for me while growing up. I have survived it thanks to the music.

[@trickster6609]

Oh my god his voice is just so fucking great. Even after all these years.. he still nails it

[@shanesworld6363]

His voice is still just as good as it was in the 80s, amazing

God. Almighty. This man's voice is an absolute gift from Valhalla. I hope everyone watching this truly understands and appreciates the absolute miracle you are seeing here. And if not, go pull up ANY band from this era with the original lead singer still in the band and touring, find their latest live clip, and hear for yourself what a vocal GOD sounds like compared to those aged piss ants.

[@TimothyVincentStBarts-ls7ii]

In 1985 through 1988 I worked at U-Haul in Pasadena, California (Raymond Avenue). These guys would come in and rent trucks to haul their own stuff to the next gig. They were up and coming but I knew who they were (I'm a metal head forever) and I was speechless each time they came in. It was pure heaven for me ....a 21 year old kid. Thanks Blackie. You rocked then and you still rock now!

[@berndendress6405]

Thank you Blackie for your Live-. You the Best for ever. Thank you

[@ffkorkmaz]

His voice is in great shape! The Headless Children backdrop is also cool

[@dambo0706]

I was thinking the same thing about the backdrop. Maybe money is tight and he just took whatever he had laying around in the garage?

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Not many bands would have Adolf on stage with them... lol

[@Rock72Man]

Was a massive WASP fan in 80s/90s damn he still sounds fucken awesome. Blackie awesome front man

[@IvanIvoMartinetti]

So freaking amazing!!!!! One of the best songs ever, his voice is still amazing

[@whoshotya117]

Still has the emotion as if it's the first time they've done it. That's great! Just started listening to these guys.

[@jonpaulmoen]

Blackie is still living the dream. Having fun! To those making fun of his weight, you need to look at yourself first!

[@shaneellis9519]

Man his voice is still 🔥 after all these yrs

[@THEZWORLD]

Damn! Grew up listing to them. They still rock!

[@jamesbennett5189]

One day walking home from school I found somebodies cd collection in the road....it had lots I was familiar with except of an orange and silver disc titled "The headless children" by Wasp........I put it on when I got home and was like....where the he'll has this band been. Very very under rated band.

[@christosfragias592]

Blackie was almost 60 when he performed this, and pulls it off like a youngster full of hormones fronting their first rock band. Brilliant! Rock keeps us forever young.

[@SoniaAnubis]

wow blackie sounds perfect!

[@chrisbrown3549]

You are perfect.😘😊

[@9496TULL]

[@Zorr1111]

Соня спой мил человек эту песню,хочется посмотреть как у тебя получиться.

[@allthecolors6900]

Even still today, Blackie's voice is almost perfect. In multiple interviews, he said that he did vocal exercises and took care of his vocals his whole career. WASP started out as a recording band, not a touring band.

[@david08060]

Dam. He sounds good. Make a come back.

[@DennisHunt]

I agree David! Blackie is sounding amazing! No change at all from 1984! Dam! so he's put some pounds on.. he's still one badass singer,, Thats what counts in music! :)

[@misturini]

Dennis Hunt Yeah, but he reminds me a highschool portuguese teacher...Damn!

[@alonzotheman]

Heck yea blackie kicks ass. Couldn't agree more

[@Dem0nD0ll]

I have to agree, he does still sound good.

[@mirovsk08]

I just feel like I'm 17 years again. Thanks Blackie and WASP. Big fun from Mozambique

Been lucky enough to see this line up 3 times. Excellent.

[@fabiopierre]

It still sound great. One of the most important voices of rock!

[@dm4032]

Saw these guys open for Metallica when Metallica was still an underground band. Best show I've ever seen. Blackie is a true artist...always will be no matter what shape he's in...still blows away anything from this day and age. Rock on Blackie....luv u man.

[@robroblox8844]

Im 14 yrs old and LOVE THIS!

Glad to see these guys still going. They blew everyone out of the water in the mid 80's. Blackie Lawless' voice is still good as ever.

[@Havanacuba1985]

Blackie still looks and sounds great, good on him for still living the spirit of W.A.S.P

[@margaretrussell8982]

Hi. Seen him the burgh. I am 66. Sunset strip meat.. Anglo,... ape hangers.. water... skull...

[@margaretrussell8982]

ATOMIC PUNK ??? Van Halen....(1)???

[@stormwind47]

Honestly who cares what he looks like or if he's fat or not? Who said only 20year old top models had a right to be on a stage? Mister Blackie is still one of the best musicians and singer of all the metal scene. If some people don't like his look or his t-shirt, why don't they just go and watch 'any country''s got talent?

[@brianosbment2343]

One of my all-time favorite songs! I've always loved WASP!

[@david08060]

Even though a lot of people didn't like Heavy Metal in the 80's. Just like they didn't like Hip Hop in the 80's. I bet you'll listen to it now instead of today's stupid music. I will listen to this music for as long as I live. Today's music can not compete with 1980's music. Positive messages with no cursing.

[@metalerowilliamxxx]

Blackie Lawless, a living legend and a Metal's god... !!!! 🤟

[@rocknroll80sgirl44]

Blackie is just such a badass I love him grew up on W.A.S.P

Awesome. Through all the years they still rock my world just like the 80s. 2 thumbs up

[@WEHRWULF8814]

I love grandma Lawless, he may look funny now but he was the man back in his day! Still a great performer!

[@sirluisray1974]

its amazing he can still sing like that. I always though he had one of the best voice for Hard Rock.

[@Metal1412]

Older, but his voice is solid!

[@BetoKaosZDejavu]

Adrenaline in my veins and in my soul ... WASPPPPP is the best band ever yyyyyyeess

[@wishmakr]

Getting older sucks. I was a senior in high school when I first heard F*** Like a Beast, and Wild Child. They blew me away. 35 years of drugs and alcohol really take their toll. Bands like this just don't exist in todays music scene.

[@ajwasp]

I agree with you Pee Bee, but it is his voice that we go to hear. It is like Elvis in his final years. You wish Blackie was all nice and slim again, but you can't make his face look any younger. His voice however is 100% as it has always been. Rob Halford and Paul Stanley have modified their songs in Judas Priest and Kiss to accommodate their tired voices, but Blackie's voice just goes on and on and on. Amazing! I'll always love Blackie!

[@daveg4236]

ajwasp kiss lip syncs. This is live. Same with priest

[@carleriksson7283]

Whollymolly they rocked the bayebuuzout of that stage. Still having the energy despite bing old.

[@diegocieni1439]

His voice has changed NOTHING through the years. Blackie, you're a legend.

[@duindorp47]

I can listen to The headless children album every day. Really one of my favourite albums of all time. Wasp has a unique sound and Blackie was and is one of the best singers!!! He ages but who doesnt. He still kicks muthafokkin ass. Respect for this hero 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Frankamentise]

The issue isn't that he's heavier. The real issue is that we're losing most of the metal legends to heart attacks in their mid to late 50's. Way too young to die. Not necessary.

[@jimmyagates]

Which metal legends have been dying of heart attacks in their mid-late 50's...just curious???

[@grozny3429]

[@EasyZee69]

I actually like this incarnation of the band... even if Blackie is the only original member left. The new guys bring an enthusiasm and energy to the live performance that you would never get from the old guys that peeked in the 80's.

[@johnnyterminator2004]

Zee Risek I agree about this incarnation of the band. In fact Doug Blair, the lead guitarist here is miles above Chris Holmes. Randy Piper is missed though

[@chrismontreuil2206]

You can never replace an original singer to a band.

[@Empress_Metal]

Looks don't fucking matter. It's all about the voice and the talent. It's all rock n' roll to me baby.

[@jondunmore4268]

Dude, looks DO MATTER. Why do you think he's wearing so much mascara? Why is his hair dyed jet black? Why is he wearing buzzsaws on his forearms? I'm sure they've got NOTHING to do with making the music come out of his guitar.

[@alexandre8014]

CRAZY CRAZY I LOVED THE BEST VOICE OF HARD ROCK....

[@GN-cj5we]

A friend told me about back stage bands, which take over the sound when bands can’t perform as they should live. I really like that wasp picked up a bassist that complements Blackies vocal style to give the fans the best live sound! Like many bands do by adding supporting guitarist for live performances. Blackie’s voice still holds up all these years later! I Think Rageaholic on KZbin said it best when reviewing Wasp, sound wise he’s Blackie flawless !

[@futureprimitivepast3044]

Personally, I don't care if Blackie becomes the size of a house as long as he can still make music.

[@alek493]

He's not that big lol Though I completely agree.
