Interview with Blackie and Chris for 'UK TV' 1985. Subscribe to my W.A.S.P. channel! PS Many thanks 'Sterf-En-Bederf' for sharing with me one day original video!
Chris Holmes is everything I'd wanna be! The looks the talent! What a guitarist! Even tho I'm a bass man n I love and draw inspiration from the bassist Johnny(hot)rod!! Can't help feeling like I was born too late to enjoy the 80s like I wanted too! I was only 13 by the end of the 80s!
Love how naughty and wicked they used to be. Still love 'em and religiously listen to older W.A.S.P. all the time, but they have become decent gentlemen and that ever so slightly spoils it for me.
Their outlaw image was faux. Johnny thunders genuinely ripped off and robbed club owners, used record advances for substances, thrown in jail for crimes, violence. These guys are pretenders, wish they were a thunders .
I could start to see the irritation in Chris when Blackie basically insulted him during the fire on stage story. Blackie has a very self absorbed ego and I can understand why it would be difficult working with the guy. Chris wasn't even allowed to speak.
Thank you Blackie. Music sells albums.....sure album covers art does help at times...look at Meatloaf. However as a KISS ARMY lifer...Explosions do not sell albums, if someone purchased any KISS ALIVE (PICK ONE) then that person has issues. For me even though I loved the first album, Last Command was much better. Also ....NOW I love and hate Motley Crue....first 3 albums, especially Shout is BRILLIANCE. However Girls and Dr ha ve 4 amazing tunes and rest garbage ..I HATE Kickstart.....but I am so sick of Nikki....he took SOOOOO Much from his tine in Sister. I often wonder..What a band would have been like.. Blackie and Chris and Nikki and Tommy....been like? WASP (and STRYPER and RATT and Dokken) we're all soooo much better than Motley..Also Widowmaker and Wild were 2 best tunes on Command. Also from Live in Raw 87 concert album the remaster bonus tracks awesome . However for me as a HUGE HUGE WASP fan...the 97/98 Double Live Assassins LP was much better than the first live album because of one reason: Stet Howland double bass drums and his fills..omg....amazing
Black he manages money good. He's still worked over 25 million dollars I think Chris Holmes took a while to realize money Burns away quick. He's only worth about 5 million
Of course they knew the Christian right would be upset and hoped for a media hype. And that's exactly what they got. Not to mention Blackies then best friend was Ace Frehley. And he got career advice from Gene

One of my biggest dreams is that I could grab a drink with Blackie and listen to his interesting stories!
I love this Band 🙌🏽🔥❤️🤘🏽……..They are ridiculously underrated…
I don't want to become boring to myself, let alone anyone else.
Priceless advice

Oh isn't he just gorgeous!! 😍 ❤️
He Has a great voice, But the idiot Messed up The band, WASP could have been so much more if he didn't screw things up
W⚡️A⚡️S⚡️P⚡️ is timeless perfection. Love it and love it.

Legend
See them a few times great band very underrated
Blackie is very interesting and intelligent. Great business man, too
Smooth talker Blackie! ❤

We all knew Blackie would do ALL the talking lol
I think the reason wasp became underrated was because blackie acted like a solo. Yes, he is very talented but still this is so sadly
Great interview. Takes me back to when i bought the Cassette...UNDER THE LAST COMMAND. 1985
I sell these guys in San Antonio 1985! They sounded just like the album. But I was lit on green. The greatest band in the world WASP
Chris wasn't a fake, he was and is metal true and true. Blackie reminds of Nikki Sixx, mouthpiece and lyricist.
Blackie is not fake as well n is an amazing songwriter
Wasp was never really the same when Chis and Randy "left" RIP SR
Nearly 40 years ago
Love how naughty and wicked they used to be. Still love 'em and religiously listen to older W.A.S.P. all the time, but they have become decent gentlemen and that ever so slightly spoils it for me.
Aw
Their outlaw image was faux. Johnny thunders genuinely ripped off and robbed club owners, used record advances for substances, thrown in jail for crimes, violence. These guys are pretenders, wish they were a thunders .
They are a lot older now so it makes since they have calmed down
With Blackie's ego he definitely should've been a solo artist.
I could start to see the irritation in Chris when Blackie basically insulted him during the fire on stage story. Blackie has a very self absorbed ego and I can understand why it would be difficult working with the guy. Chris wasn't even allowed to speak.
W.A.S.P. became The Blackie Lawless Band.
Why don't you tell them the story Chewy?
MWYAAA!
Does anyone remember MTV before it became the cRAP channel or pregneant teen channel? Or whatever BS channel it is now?
Damn. Sorry, Lawless' response was utterly brilliant. As most "controversial" artists are.
Chris Holmes is a GOD among the other ants.
Didnt recognize blackie without the white streaks.

Let Chris speak!
He's a drunk
Lackie Bawless
Blackie flawless
Blackie Dominated that band.Chris doesn’t really speak in any Interview
Nikki sixx str8 copied this guy..
Motley Crue was about before W.A.S.P
@@iluvdarkthroneBlackie and Nikki were playing together in a band called “Sister”. It was before W.A.S.P. and Motley Crue
@@iluvdarkthronethey were playing together in Sister
@@iluvdarkthroneBlackie’s style was around before Mötley Crüe when Nikki was in his old band called Sister.
@@lacecreationz2434 Ah thanks man, I didn't know about that band.
Well of course Blackie whould do all talking he whould have moor info than Chris but just so you know criss did do some talking
Look at the filth they tout with pop music nowadays...makes Blackie probably blush
Of course they knew the Christian right would be upset and hoped for a media hype. And that's exactly what they got. Not to mention Blackies then best friend was Ace Frehley. And he got career advice from Gene
Funny how it's reversed..now it's the left that would whine
@@bls8959 about what? religious people of all ideologies probably, but then i think we have different opinion on what is right and left or Liberal?
@@hellchild6668 I thought you guys were all for cancel culture
@@bls8959 Us guys? Who are we? W.A.S.P. fans?
@@bls8959 And I actualky don't know wha"t Cancel culture" is? So maybe we are? Please explain i think that is an American term?
By '85 WASP was shit!
Still making great records to this day. I agree this album was far from the debut but not shit
IT IS ALL ABOUT BLACKIE, CHRIS SEEMED JUST AN SPECTATOR!
The guy can public speak well
The guy can public speak well
It's blackies band. He could have left if he didn't like it
