It will never die out. It's being listened to in countries around the world where no one ever thought this would reach. I was in Serbia couple of week ago and stepped into a Hard Rock Café with this song blasting.

Pure magic: the music, theatrics, and emotion (from the band and crowd). Some might look down on the 80s, but it was an era of pure expression and aggression.
Yes❤ sure was miss arena rock. Pure, authentic ,,no lip bs raw ,, emotion ,,soul sweat raw emotion never see it every again we were so lucky...headbanger. For life. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cant believe i've found this show,I was there aged 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And never realized it was filmed. Fantastic memorys thanks for all the show uploads,although it makes me feel old now!!
+Nonchiie those were unbelievable years to be growing up in Los Angeles....the entire city rocked hard....loved it! WASP were always a great live band...until the theatrics sprayed fake blood everywhere....and suddenly all the chicks would leave. Great times....
I lived in Germany during most of the 1980s. My dad, brother, friends and I went to a lot of metal and rock concerts there. I recall seeing WASP open for Accept in 85 or 86. Hanging around in record stores and guitar shops. It was a great decade for metal! My wife wonders why I like metal. Well, it's what I grew up with.
@@warren6710 unfortunatly no. We Didn't think of that. WASP did a photo shoot in the foyer, couldnt get a good look thru the door it was rammed the entrance. The sound was perfect, and pumping..tight playing and great stage show..mad max metal.. If only wasp had continued with that stage show- next album i went to see live- and i was disappointed, johnny rod, and this circus show garb, and too much showing off on playing.. The lineup change ruined it imho.
@@jonsimmons4150 I think Blackie is WASP and WASP is Blackie there s no other way to describe this. I agree you about messing up the first line up the energy and stage presence was unbelievable but I think Blackie did the thing he wanted to do about the band. He is a person who build, join,leave and mess bands back in the day like London and Sister. Basically he is his own boss he continued more logically about the world's status at that time
Man, a 25yr old Chris Holmes. How time flies. Good to hear that he has supposedly been sober for quite a while now. It still took its toll. You can hear it when he talks, it sounds like he has wet brain. He still sounds kind of drunk when he talks today even though he is sober. Still, the fact that he is alive, healthy and still playing is nothing short of a miracle. Good luck in the future chris. He said he quit drinking in 1996. I don't know if that true or not, but that's what he says.
I listened to American bands like the Twisted Sister, Mötley Crüe, Dio etc. when I was a kid in the 80's (still very much do so), with a ton of European bands as well. But I just realized, when walking down that memory lane, that I couldn't remember seeing W.A.S.P. performing live ever. So, I decided to check out one of my favourite songs from them - which is this. In the video it's cool and grandiloquent to see Blackie waving his fist high up in the air while singing and playing the bass, while at the same time that jackhammer of a bass riff keeps rolling on and drills it's way into your ears and to your consciousness. Well, to see that same exact thing live didn't work so well.
Back in the 90.. Me: What are you hearing? Friend: wasp Me: what? Friend: it's heavy metal Me: This is so crappy. Let me hear.... ........... ..................... Friend: Give me back my walkman. Me: FU!
I handed in a French project in grade 6 and it had Blackie drinking fake blood out of a skeleton head that famous 2 page foldout.. I wrote.."Jue Mange" To Eat.. But the teacher wrote on it.. "Not appropriate for School" I didn't care..I still handed it in.. Took the failing grade for Blackie and what I believed in.. I Wanna Be Somebody Too.. RnR Blackie Love ya bro Thank You For the great shows and Music Always a fan
Didn’t anyone notice the first chorus? He walked away from the mic….yet you can still hear his voice. When he is singing it sounds extremely close to the studio audio, then halfway through the song his vocals sound different where it does sound live.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I think he's lip syncing at least the first half of the song. Incredible voice regardless. I seen a video the other day where Holmes was obviously not playing.
When I first seen wasp was when they came out and the stage and everything looked identical to the album. With the two huge skulls, one on each side with the name in flames and with a almost naked woman below it. Never will forget that concert.
AWESOME!!! God I remember all of those early... they were the BEST!!! I like it better when Blackie plays Bass. DON'T YOU WISH BLACKIE would reunite the whole original band???
I've seen these a few times - and wasn't ever disappointed. Now I'm old and need glasses could some kind stranger tell me if my eyes are deceiving me or has Blackie got ass-less chaps on?
I've got a friend with a really low self esteem who attempts to build himself up by wearing expensive suits and buying a BMW. He does this because deep down inside he wants to be a somebody. I told him there is a song called " I wanna be somebody." he should listen to. lol
Saw these guys mid hudson civic center with the release of their second album. It snowed like hell and nobody showed. I got up front and center. Great show even though blackie played guitar instead of bass. Im a bassist so....I was a little disappointed.
Anaybody else who feels that the audio in this video not is the actually live recording. 1. The singing sound not live at all, too perfect and not even small differences compared to the album. 2. Who's singing at 1.29-1.39? There is Blackies voice, even when he's off the mice. 3. The sound of the crowd is to high and powerful (not realistic).
How did rock like this ever die out ? Fuckin sadd
It will never die out. It's being listened to in countries around the world where no one ever thought this would reach. I was in Serbia couple of week ago and stepped into a Hard Rock Café with this song blasting.
@@DDtch6669 They love Metal in East Europe
Possibly the most underrated vocalist ever. Def in the top 5 or so metal singers, right up there with Dio and Halford.
even after thirty years his voice was still way better than the cookie monster singers of today

Pure magic: the music, theatrics, and emotion (from the band and crowd). Some might look down on the 80s, but it was an era of pure expression and aggression.
The 80's were great for music. There was so many different things musically going on. Especially in Metal
You summed it up perfectly. 🤘
Entertainment and art in general, the 80’s were fantastic
This is a good example of it all really. A cherry picked moment when everything was perfect at a live show.
Yes❤ sure was miss arena rock. Pure, authentic ,,no lip bs raw ,, emotion ,,soul sweat raw emotion never see it every again we were so lucky...headbanger. For life. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cant believe i've found this show,I was there aged 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And never realized it was filmed. Fantastic memorys thanks for all the show uploads,although it makes me feel old now!!
Must’ve been fucking gnarly
i know it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Yahir Avery flixportal =)
@Trey Zaire thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !!
@Yahir Avery You are welcome xD
Most underrated metal band ever
40 years ago...I'm still alive!!!
Me too
Blackie has one of the most unique voices ever! Nice clip and shame I was born like 20 years late..
Guitarriff1988ii or Slade
Nonchiie Saw them live a few times in the 80's. Always a great show.
+Nonchiie those were unbelievable years to be growing up in Los Angeles....the entire city rocked hard....loved it! WASP were always a great live band...until the theatrics sprayed fake blood everywhere....and suddenly all the chicks would leave. Great times....
He's still got it. I hear he kinda hogs all the attention, but even without Holmes, I for one would take a chance to see WASP live in a heartbeat.
One of the greatest voices ever
Most underated band ever Wasp, you kick ass!!! Blackie Lawless voice is Metal!!
Early 80s rocked hard, WASP was/is a great band !!
Well said! haha
Caught the Last Command tour, it was off the hook crazy!!!
The hair was long and the miniskirts short ( and leather) what a great time to be alive!!!
what a tight band. sounds like a studio recording! god i wish i had lived the 80s
Yeah i was there. Best gig i ever saw in the 80s. It was smokin there.
I lived in Germany during most of the 1980s. My dad, brother, friends and I went to a lot of metal and rock concerts there. I recall seeing WASP open for Accept in 85 or 86.

Wow the crowd is hot as hell, crazy live.
Can't beat 80's MeTaL!!
Such a masterpiece still be rocking this in 30 years

You said it man he’s very lucky to be alive is right, same as myself :-)
Pure metal Rock. Love it 💯
The boys are on fire.
Holmes has so much drive and power takes his own knees out :)
The best tune to pick yourself up when life's not going the way you want it too !!!!
2020 and this song its fu***ing amazing 💪🏽🤟🏽
W.A.S.P iz cool grew up to thier muzic.I remember
bacc in the day everyone thought Chris Holmes looked
like Ozzy Osbourne
The song that caused me so much trouble and gave me so much hope.
"Everyone you meet, you're gonna show"
Chris Holmes gave it ALL
Blackie was the brains of it but I believe it was Chris's riffs that gave them the sound.
W.A.S.P. at there best back in the day. ROCK ON!!!!!!

I was very young when my big brother listened those bands too so didn't really listen to childrens music at all. Nice 😉
Miss them days!
Love this band. Blackie still has swag and he's in his sixties. I still love him! 😍
kleo8577 I think he was in his 60’s then, say no to assless chaps
I saw this tour with armoured saint and Metallica
Never again!!!! The GREAT 80’s \m/\m/
Back in the 90..
Me: What are you hearing?
Friend: wasp
Me: what?
Friend: it's heavy metal
Me: This is so crappy. Let me hear....
...........
.....................
Friend: Give me back my walkman.
Me: FU!
I've enjoyed W.A.S.P. since their beginnings in LA, but still to this day, I CAN'T get used to those damn ugly but cheek pants!
初めてLIVE 行ったのがWASP、16歳の時、感動したな!!次の日まで耳鳴りが酷かった・・
Audio engineer: "How much crowd you want I the mix"
WASP "Yes"
I handed in a French project in grade 6 and it had Blackie drinking fake blood out of a skeleton head that famous 2 page foldout..
I wrote.."Jue Mange"
To Eat..
But the teacher wrote on it..
"Not appropriate for School"
I didn't care..I still handed it in..
Took the failing grade for Blackie
and what I believed in..
I Wanna Be Somebody Too..
RnR Blackie
Love ya bro
Thank You
For the great shows and Music
Always a fan
Chris Holmes was so cool!
Охуительная группа,первый раз услышал в 1985,запись лондонского выступления считаю лучшей
WASP просто супер, вне времени!🤘
Un salto indietro nel tempo per ascoltare un grande gruppo, idoli della mia infanzia metal. Grazie.
At their peak.
The best
Wow, this is incredible.
RIP Steve Riley 🤘
Love this song !!! @ 4:43 that's f&*king HEAVY METAL people !!!!

No your also hearing Piper who is a very good singer at that part of the song
Yes very suspicious...🤔
Randy never got the memo that it was, "Wear Your Buttless Chaps Day" at the office.
HAHAHA, I KNOW RIGHT? Holy shit...
When I first seen wasp was when they came out and the stage and everything looked identical to the album. With the two huge skulls, one on each side with the name in flames and with a almost naked woman below it. Never will forget that concert.
If I had a Time Machine . . .
3:26 got to be one of the sexiest solo/riff Ever
11/11/17...still rocking !!!!
This is the song which got me hooked on WASP & Blackie.
I can’t believe Chris ever played the solo that good live.
Seen this concert at the age of 15 with quiet riot with my cousin. We looked at each other and said wtf omg. This is going to be a great show
Isn't incredible that I was there and no I'm here. God who knew I was gonna be this famous! Whoa!
Good fk music, beautiful well done from one of my favorite bands!!awesome!!!.
Good, wholesome, non-drug fueled entertainment.
You must have stayed home then.....lol.
Can't beat 80s fans!!
Good old times 🤘
Fuckin fanominal,Damm I wish I could have been there, bu in 1984, I was 1 years old Lol
Hard rock 🤘 😎

Shiny cars , dirty money , lots of rock n roll , fuck yeah ! 🤘✌️
Excelente video y voz muy bueno!!!

Very rare for the singer to sound just like the recording. Blackie is underrated.

I've seen these a few times - and wasn't ever disappointed. Now I'm old and need glasses could some kind stranger tell me if my eyes are deceiving me or has Blackie got ass-less chaps on?
Canta igual incluso mejor que en la versión de studio
arrepiei
2018 !
Wow
olha os caras mano
Sounds just like the recording
First time hearing this recording and I have to say, Damn!!!! That was a tight pèrformance 👌
Aguante wasp!!!!
well done....👏
I've got a friend with a really low self esteem who attempts to build himself up by wearing expensive suits and buying a BMW. He does this because deep down inside he wants to be a somebody. I told him there is a song called " I wanna be somebody." he should listen to. lol
Pqp..dublagem bizzzzzzzara
Saw these guys mid hudson civic center with the release of their second album. It snowed like hell and nobody showed. I got up front and center. Great show even though blackie played guitar instead of bass. Im a bassist so....I was a little disappointed.
And to further that... THEY SHOULD BE ON THE NEW MOTLEY CRUE world tour... that's a FACT
agreed wasp is definitly a better glam band than poison way harder sounding riffs and every song has amazing badass lyrics
I had a concert tape of W.A.S.P. I wonder if it was from this show!?
Fkn Luv
This is as live as Slayer's Live Undead LP
Anaybody else who feels that the audio in this video not is the actually live recording.
1. The singing sound not live at all, too perfect and not even small differences compared to the album.
2. Who's singing at 1.29-1.39? There is Blackies voice, even when he's off the mice.
3. The sound of the crowd is to high and powerful (not realistic).
