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!
December 11, 1984. Helix, WASP open for Krokus at the Long Beach Arena in Southern California. Winged Assassins tour (first album). THAT was WASP! They were a hungry and dangerous band. The energy was incredible. They killed it!!! Amazing show from start to finish. Now I hear he just sits on a chair the entire show??? Bwahaha!
btw it's historical definition of w.a.s.p is as it was explained to me in a history class by my teacher in 1984 ..i was wearing a concert shirt .. ..was ..white , anglo, saxon, prodistant ..it made sence to me :)
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.
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 .
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

I love this video of Blackie & Chris, thanks for sharing 😎🎸🤘💥💣💯🖤❤️
See them a few times great band very underrated
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
I love this Band 🙌🏽🔥❤️🤘🏽……..They are ridiculously underrated…
Who ? Underrated them................ nobody !
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!
Blackie is very interesting and intelligent. Great business man, too

i saw w.a.s.p in feb 1986 open a kiss set at the keil auditorium in st.louis ..great nite ..i was on the floor ...i was 17 :)
btw it's historical definition of w.a.s.p is as it was explained to me in a history class by my teacher in 1984 ..i was wearing a concert shirt .. ..was ..white , anglo, saxon, prodistant ..it made sence to me :)
I like this guy...😎🖤
Nearly 40 years ago
Does anyone remember MTV before it became the cRAP channel or pregneant teen channel? Or whatever BS channel it is now?
What a shame 😔
Used to ROCK 🤘
Great interview. Takes me back to when i bought the Cassette...UNDER THE LAST COMMAND. 1985
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.
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
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
@@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ecsounds like a p.o.s.
Blackie Holmes and
Chris Lawless
Smooth talker Blackie! ❤
🖤🖤🖤
Legend
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
@@randygonzalez1375nikki sixx can't play nase this man is a gifted musician.. totally different from nikki
Wasp was never really the same when Chis and Randy "left" RIP SR
Why don't you tell them the story Chewy?
MWYAAA!
💜💜
Rock bands from the 1980s tended to have a lot of band members with a sense of humor.
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
We would have never got those killer solos without Chris.
Didnt recognize blackie without the white streaks.
Chris Holmes not illiterate but was blind in Chicago during Helldorado
Nikki sixx str8 copied this guy..
Motley Crue was about before W.A.S.P
@@Kerplunk_1992Blackie and Nikki were playing together in a band called “Sister”. It was before W.A.S.P. and Motley Crue
@@Kerplunk_1992they were playing together in Sister
@@Kerplunk_1992Blackie’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.
Damn. Sorry, Lawless' response was utterly brilliant. As most "controversial" artists are.
I have a crystal ball. Any time a music act gets panned by a self-proclaimed-socially-conscious-organization, it'll thrive.
With Blackie's ego he definitely should've been a solo artist.
He pretty much has been a solo artist. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chris Holmes is a GOD among the other ants.
SO, it was Blackie that started the finger pointing thing.
L O VD you know lm ur crab machine alright alright alright alright
Baby won’t you blow me, the perfect crab machine… there goes my pe n is rising, venus make me scream….

Blackie looks like Joan Jett possessed by Blackie Lawless! 🤣🤣🤣
Dk blind meant drunk
Lackie Bawless
Blackie flawless
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
He’s only around 5 million
Look at the filth they tout with pop music nowadays...makes Blackie probably blush
Blackie Dominated that band.Chris doesn’t really speak in any Interview
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
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
The last command actually rules, you turds. :)
