Considering what Chris Holmes has been through in the last few years it's amazing he is up there in the heat and humidity rocking out. I'm happy for him and the band. Great job to all.
He does! No pedals. Just a small rack on top of one of the cabinets that maybe had a processor of some kind but it sounded just like his classic tone from Live in the Raw.
For sure.And was the wildest dude on stage I ever saw.Had to wear catchers gear so he wouldn't hurt himself or knock out his own teeth! FUCKING METAL! 🤘
I walked on stage wearing jeans and a t-shirt but due to having no canopy because of the storm the day before I had to dress in my ''beach'' wear, the sun also dried my throat out.
Transposing chords after a string break just IS rock and roll. This is brilliant, and the US I lucky to still have guys like this playing balls out classics
so so awesome to see the mad guitarman shredding again, loved him in W*A*S*P* them solos are so melodic, none of this 100 mph shredding jerking off nonsense, and holy cow what a voice on that singer, Blackie aint easy to cover
Dude in the Budweiser jumper is killin it! hell yeah, anyone who can go up there w/Chris and belt out Blackies vocals from the 80s and sound that close? huge round of applause 🤘🤘👋👋
*It's absolutely amazing that he is still doing what he loves!! He shouldn't even be here!! He is a definitely a hard animal to kill!! I say that because of his addictions he's battled over the years. A very good friend of mine has said the exact same thing to me.. And it's tattooed on my arm... "Hard Animal to Kill." Chris Holmes will always be a legend!! Keep Rockin'!!* 🤘🏼😆
That was cool. Glad to see Chris back out there and with a good band. Glad he has a singer again and plays guitar. Funny how he put on a Les Paul. He told me once, "Rob, you know why I don't play a Les Paul?" "Because it looks too small and rediculous on me." LOL Way to Rock!
I've never seen Holmes use a Les Paul in all the live performances of his I've watched. He's been a faithful Jackson player for most of his career from what I've seen. If that was someone else's axe, he owned it for the end of that song. Still one of the best in my opinion. Thanks for posting, hope you had a great cruise. I was there in 12 & 14.
He definitely did! I saw him at the airport a few days later and he only had the one Jackson. He kept the Les Paul for the remaining three or four songs of the set. Definitely the highlight of the cruise. Blew me away how great the were and how good of spirits Chris was in. He was so friendly the few times I talked to him and seemed really humbled at the accolades he received the entire time. We even cheered him as he past us in the airport chanting “Mean Man…Mean Man” and the smile on his face was priceless. I was on the 2014 cruise also! This was my first since.
Blackie must be loving this lmaooooo He’s probably ripping his hair out and snorting his coke wondering how this band really sounds like WASP and not the Wasp imitators who use backing and vocal tracks lol😂
Legitimately straight forward rock n roll. If the singer was dressed right they would have gotten more praise. I appreciate his guitar tone. He always sounds like himself and that is a good thing. Rock on wild man!
Saw these guys a few months ago... Ended up on stage singing highway to hell with them 🤘😂 Was a great night... I'd rather see them than Blackie 'godfodder$$$' Lawless
Hell yea! That is awesome. Im in Dallas and missed out on seeing WASP here because the venue oversold tickets by almost 600 and it was shut down just before WASP was supposed to start. Dont even feel bad now because I think this was a truer and more real WASP performance than I would have gotten seeing Blackie. Chris freaking rocked!
Hey Chris, glad to see you back man. Just awesome. Unfortunately the doctor did too good of a job and now we have to listen to your crappy singing! Just bustin your balls man I love you.!!!! Hope we meet up someday. Someone around here has to be a badass right!!
His name is Ollie from a London band called Wicked Jackels. It was blazing hot out there during this show. They dressed more like you would expect at their second show inside
Chris never stops. He’s been clean and beat cancer. Dude is humble as the day is long. Beautiful human
Considering what Chris Holmes has been through in the last few years it's amazing he is up there in the heat and humidity rocking out. I'm happy for him and the band. Great job to all.
Agree 100%
CHRIS HOLMES PLUS SWIMMING POOL = GOOD TIMES!
The Fall of western Cilivilization lol
Not quite in the pool, but at least on pool stage. 😅
Singer deserves extra points for holding everything together for this set
U saw that too
Explain please
Yeah, but he didn’t sing the high choruses for Love Machine.
@@deansternberg2265 - that singer BLOWS 🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely
Chris the true Wild child of Metal, Great to see him still kicking ass and wanting to be somebody.🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Oh,...my.
Sooooo clever.
LET'SROCK.
I dont think he gives one fk about "being somebody" :)
and yeah, I get the reference
Chris still has that AMAZING TONE!
He does! No pedals. Just a small rack on top of one of the cabinets that maybe had a processor of some kind but it sounded just like his classic tone from Live in the Raw.
For sure.And was the wildest dude on stage I ever saw.Had to wear catchers gear so he wouldn't hurt himself or knock out his own teeth!
FUCKING METAL! 🤘
Hey Chris good to see ya alive and kicking ass!
Look how happy Chris is ! Fuck yeah man
I think the singer did a pretty good job and who cares what they dress like they're on a cruise ship, have fun.
I walked on stage wearing jeans and a t-shirt but due to having no canopy because of the storm the day before I had to dress in my ''beach'' wear, the sun also dried my throat out.
Thank God Chris is Back Mean Man Love it Brother !!!!!!!!! Fuck Cancer !!!!!
no backing tapes needed. F#cking legend
Sounding better than the current W.A.S.P line up IMO 🤘
at least they're actually playing....no bullshit.
No
WASP sounded ace when I saw them a few weeks ago. Mind,the backing tracks help!!!
That's not possible. The current W. A. S. P. sound just exactly like the CDs, literally... 😂😂
Chris Holmes is fucking legend ,glad to see he is doing the best thing ,,,WASP forever and mean man !!!!
Chris is an absolute legend!
Chris still kicks ass!!!
I’d love to see a US club tour!!
There's no money in it
Blackie is the voice of W.A.S.P., but Chris is the sound.
how true, and the spirit (in both senses of the word)
Transposing chords after a string break just IS rock and roll. This is brilliant, and the US I lucky to still have guys like this playing balls out classics
Wow!!! Freakin awesome.....(and no backing tapes 🥳....sorry Blackie, had to say it 🤪).
Chris is looking and sounding good here.
Chris Holmes is looking good and sounding amazing!

Chris is a badass and he's living proof that you can spit in the face of cancer. HAIL 🤘🤘🤘
I love how they having fun. No bs outfits etc. just party in party clothes and have fun !!! 😊
so so awesome to see the mad guitarman shredding again, loved him in W*A*S*P* them solos are so melodic, none of this 100 mph shredding jerking off nonsense, and holy cow what a voice on that singer, Blackie aint easy to cover
Dude this singer is trash
HELL YEAH..on your knees. This was high energy..Chris is awesome , as well as his band. He still has his chops., Been a fan since 84.
This is a great song. So glad to see Chris rocking out. Fan since ‘84.
Fan since 84? What was the last WASP Album you bought? 🤔
They have 15 albums, I have them all cause I didn't abandoned them after the 80's like most people. You?
Dude in the Budweiser jumper is killin it! hell yeah, anyone who can go up there w/Chris and belt out Blackies vocals from the 80s and sound that close? huge round of applause 🤘🤘👋👋
Chris Still Kicks 🦵 Ass I don’t care what Blackie says. We the fans rule. Not him…
Great to see you Chris!
Chris Holmes is the real deal.
Holmes has the killer tone!!!
CHRIS HOLMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see Mr. Holmes still doin it..
I thought the guy was dead but still rockin.. 🙂

Never expected to see Chris rock out again and having a good time. The energie is really nice! The rest is just details.
Chris is sounding and looking good.
Great to see Chris alive and happy !!! Love Chris tone
Awesome. Great player, great guy.
The real deal, no tapes like Blackie
Blackie is a covert narcissist
Not bad. Welcome back Chris.

Chris fucking rules!!
Chris is the captain of that ship.
The first thing he said when he went up to the mic was….”ABANDON SHIP!” Haha
@@JimmyAdcock Lol
Hellyeah, Chris!!!! Fuck yeah! You guys look and sound great!

Fantastic
Chris was WASP! I've seen them many times in Los Angeles/Hollywierd back in the early 80's! Keep kicking ass Chris!!

I'd watch this all day long over Blackie's DAT tape show. All. Day. Long.
Great music! Glad this guy hasn’t died from alcohol poisoning!
He should call his band Chris Holmes W.A.S.P.
Love me some "Happy Camper".
the man!!!!!!!!!!! till the flame burns out my friend. peace
Live Rock and Roll!! No tracks like Blackie uses…. Backing tracks SUCK! I wanna hear live music, mistakes, warts and all!! You ROCK Chris 🎸
No lip syncing or backing track bullshit here.
We Love you Chris Man this why he's the Legend He is
Since 1973 in was just our beloved Edward Vanhalen back then
And Chris's is outstanding alot of you all on that hating shit
Nice LIVE band. Sloppy but hella fun. Great to see Chris in good health.
Blackie must be loving this lmaooooo He’s probably ripping his hair out and snorting his coke wondering how this band really sounds like WASP and not the Wasp imitators who use backing and vocal tracks lol😂
Hell yeah and no backing tapes keeping the shit real
Legitimately straight forward rock n roll. If the singer was dressed right they would have gotten more praise. I appreciate his guitar tone. He always sounds like himself and that is a good thing. Rock on wild man!
Do you by chance have the entire show?! This is AMAZING!
Can't get any better, sorry blackie, Chris blew your ass away 😂
No way man... Blackie sounds incredible still. Search the recent shows he's do e her on the tube.
czcams.com/video/YwQlnQ0H_1E/video.html
This sucks play your own music.....wasp you are not....move on Blackie doesn't need you....
@@toddshort5997blackie is a covert narcissist and an a******
@@toddshort5997and this is his music dip 💩
Not that this guys vocals are amazing, but way better than when Chris was trying to do vocals.
Very True
Chris keep on Rockin..kick that cancers as-you´re WASP and nothin else could change it for me-Mean Man is that one i need too see in Germany!
awesome versions, the singer is pretty good, anyone else want to try to top this off?? Blackie is still
WASP, but Holmes will always be the sound!
The singer’s choice of attire is my only complaint.
It was blazing hot out there. They wore attire more like you’d expect at their indoor show a few days later
@@JimmyAdcock It’s not that. I’ve just seen a lot of spring dresses with that cut.
no shit, he must be gay wanting to wear Bud outfit lol
I tuned out cause of the Bud Dress F off
Hell yeah !!! \,,/,
It's good to see The Mean Man, but it was always Blackie that guided him...now there is non...and it shows. Still love this Rock&Roll Animal!
👍👍
NICE DRESS
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Give that singer a bud light
Oh YES.... THE BADDEST GUITAREST EVER. I MEAN EVER TO PRESENCE THE STAGE OF HEAVY METAL....
singer looks like a 70's housewife on a picnic at the beach
True metal.❤👏👍💯🔥
Saw these guys a few months ago... Ended up on stage singing highway to hell with them 🤘😂
Was a great night... I'd rather see them than Blackie 'godfodder$$$' Lawless

Lo ve !!!
Sounds a hell of alot better than my video
I'm about to fall off my chair .
I have to look it up.
Haven't seen Ted in 25 + yrs.
But .. that scream & those GLASSES. ?!
Ted who?🤭
@@jeffhodge7272
It's totally not .
Its a guy named Oliver from Wicked Jackels.
,, Ted .. "Bullet"
he was in a band called Thunderhead .
Not sure who they're trying to look like hahahaha but "Wow" sounds more like Wasp than wasp
Hey Chris, glad to see you back man. Just awesome. Unfortunately the doctor did too good of a job and now we have to listen to your crappy singing! Just bustin your balls man I love you.!!!! Hope we meet up someday. Someone around here has to be a badass right!!
Was a expecting a lot worse... Sounds pretty good..
Who was scanning the crowd looking for Jason and Johnny?
Who's the guy wearing his pajamas on stage?????? LOL!!!!!!
His name is Ollie from a London band called Wicked Jackels. It was blazing hot out there during this show. They dressed more like you would expect at their second show inside
😂😅😅
Sounds more classic WASP than Blackie's band. The singer is spot on
