This band also helped me get through my shitty severely abusive childhood. I will forever support WASP and Blackie Lawless. Blackie, your true fans love you brother.
When I was 14, Animal was a cool song. Now that I'm approaching 50, it really is a juvenile song that I never need to hear again. They have a lot better stuff in their catalog I'd rather listen to.
i kinda agree with your point, but some songs are not meant to be taken seriously. Animal has a killer riff and it's just fun to rock to so don't care much for it's lyrics
well al i can say is boogity boogity boogity if he is born again awsome and if he refuses to play that song its his right. ive met this man in person. he isnt stupid by any means. in fact probably one of the most down to EARTH PEOPLE IVE EVER TALKED TO so to compaiir him to bono. fuck that blackie has more talent and real personality than bono any day of the week.
Calling out Bono almost 20 years ago- beautiful! This guy's been red pilling the world for 30 years. I never listened to his music, but I find his views on the world, fascinating
I heard this song as I was on my way to my deployment, pulled 6 tours and it still resonates with me. I miss all of my fallen brothers, Doc made it home physically, but mentally still there always there. FUCK!!!!!
I love W.A.S.P. and Blackie Lawless just as much as the next guy, but Blackie should listen to his own words. Cause now he's the one not playing stuff from his first albums cause he's a "born again Christian". He's even said that he'll never play Animal (Fuck Like A Beast) anymore. The song that arguably made his career, if not that then it surely helped.
If the man doesnt want to perform, then that is his prerogative. People change, beliefs shift. I will love his old work till I cease to exist, but I respect his decision.
If Blackie wants to be christian that's fine, I'm an atheist but I still love the music and respect the beliefs of others. I do wish that he wouldn't deny the fans some of the songs they want to hear though. Alice Cooper is a christian and he never strays away from any of the more dark, risque or "evil" songs on stage because he realizes it's what the fans want.
I understand this well. It's some men's careers usually that makes them who they become as a man. Some aren't as focused as that but some are. Getting much older definitely dampens the flame in most all people though. It's a part of reality. I told someone awhile back that I didn't think this song was about a woman from a man. The lyrics was much too deep and raw for that to have been the meaning. Relationships come and go sadly but it's true because most people aren't that faithful to hold on. There have been some that did back in history but they're rare indeed.
Its about his parents(not blackies per sey) but jonathons who this album revolved around. Jonathons older brother who is the light of his parents eyes get killed by a drunk driver. That makes it even worse for young jonathon, runs away to la to pursue a career in music. Basically becomes the biggest band, he calls his parent to tell them his success but they cut him off telling him they have no son. So jonathon hangs himself on stage with his guitar strings. Like all the drugs money and groupies never filled the void of his parents looking down on him his whole life, and then ya know them disosning him drives him to the edge. I feel and love this album soo much omg!!!Thats the story of this concept album. Fucking masterpiece!!!
I SO MUCH MORE THAN LOVE THAT PASSION...IM LIKE THAT...ABOUT REAL LOVE... MUSIC...CRITTERS...HELPING PEOPLE (deserving people)TURNING PEOPLE INTO THE W.A.S.P NEST😂...🙏😇🙏😁😂💋❤️

Blackie gave an example with Bono and said that he refusses to play songs from the 3 U2 records and Blackie himself almost a decade refusses still to play Animal. I don't mind it but if he see this interview right now he will understand how he autorejects himself
One thing is not playing one specific song, other thing is not playing anything from your 3 first albums... Just imagine metallica megadeth slayer anthrax pantera sepultura doing some like that... It´s plain stupid. Blackie was right.

He have been saying that stuff about Bono in a couple of interviews.. yet he don't seem to recollect that "hatred" he felt towards him for denying the fans the song which actually made him famous in the first place.. it's really sad..
Never would listen to this guy till he became a Christian since some of his song titles are so bad. After listening to some of his later cd's I think he the band would of done better without the image they had back then.
It's funny you say that because I was a girl when I found out about this band, but I was very intimidated by the saw cod piece and their whole meat and torture gimmick. I remember seeing the Animal album cover and my heart coming up into my throat because I was actually kind of freaked out. Stupid now, because I'm a woman, but I turned around and didn't listen to W.A.S.P until I was older. Now I see how much talent was actually there. Had I come into it here, at this album, I would have been their biggest fan.
I don't even believe this is the original. I think that's a reworking they did. He officially redid the album a few years ago I believe. I always thought parts of it had potential but wasn't the masterpiece some people claim it was
The Devil nah the headless children was an amazing album Chris was on fire with that album tearing up solo after solo after the headless children wasp turned to shit
W.A.S.P/The Last Command(insane album)/Electric Circus/Live ... in the RAW/Headless Children/Crimson Idol are THE main albums of the band. After that there is good songs in each album still. Albums are just more mature and religion oriented which is far better to hear than apes trying to chuckle in a microphone and move their asses like whores.
This band also helped me get through my shitty severely abusive childhood. I will forever support WASP and Blackie Lawless. Blackie, your true fans love you brother.
Praying for you that you will find peace in your life. 🤗 virtual hug.
One of the best metal albums of the nineties, in fact one the best metal albums ever. So underrated.
Yeah if you like your metal as a big slab of hairspray and cheese 🧀
@@phoenixzappa7366y bien que bbb❤
Absolute legend, already 30 years on this music drug for me
crimson idol, what an underrated album. excellent music and lyrics composition.
When I was 14, Animal was a cool song. Now that I'm approaching 50, it really is a juvenile song that I never need to hear again. They have a lot better stuff in their catalog I'd rather listen to.
I'm 50 , I still fuck like a beast .
i kinda agree with your point, but some songs are not meant to be taken seriously. Animal has a killer riff and it's just fun to rock to so don't care much for it's lyrics
I like the way they've grown up over the years.
The crimson idol is a masterpiece 🤘
Agree 10000%
I remember my great grandfather playing Wasp songs when I was a child his voice was soo unique 🤷🏻♀️
wasp has been around that long that Grandpa listen to them nice
Blackie is one of a kind ❤ Adore him.
I had this on VHS cassette Donnington 92 special, metal hammer video magazine ,it was brilliant 🤘❤️

He wanted to be a senator or president. Imagine president lawless

+Rubenick Only foundamentalists never change their minds. Life changes you, and if don't change your whole life is a waste of time.
El Niño damn right.
A born again Christian won't use that kind of language nor make crude sexual references, that's why, and I respect him for that!
If the man doesnt want to perform, then that is his prerogative. People change, beliefs shift. I will love his old work till I cease to exist, but I respect his decision.
It’s sad
I remember when W.A.S.P. first came out. I loved the music and Blackie gave me chills.
One of my favorite sons, Crimson Idol.
The older we get the harder it is to compromise but we still move forward that's the thing keep moving this band is moving little Joe 😎
Blackie Lawless 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
Great album .

@@axxionman69 yes he is.
Well.enjoy burning in hell
How do you want to be cooked. Well done. Or medium well.

The Crimson Idol chimes with a lot of struggles I’ve lived with my entire life and will continue to until it’s eventually over.
Thanks. Nice interview. Great album.

Bono is a political douche bag. Go back to Ireland dumb Mic
Blackie sounds quiet intelligent
that was then this is now Doro is out metal mania is long gone
3:07 If only Blackie had listened to his advice about refusing to play songs that helped a band succeed.
Meat Loaf meet Marty Balin.

pretty funny hearing Blackie criticize musicians for not playing their older material when he won't even play Animal live anymore.
He is only choosing one song not to play. The others are choosing not to play multiple songs. Big difference.
He does. It is just heavily censored
U2? the edge..the nose? Lol! Bill bailey does their music better than they do... I'd !ove to see bono against blackie in the ring!
but yet he wont play F**k like a beast now????? WTF?
He have been saying that stuff about Bono in a couple of interviews.. yet he don't seem to recollect that "hatred" he felt towards him for denying the fans the song which actually made him famous in the first place.. it's really sad..
Jonas Eriksson as people get older, life changes you and your perspective on a lot of things.
I would cringe if i heard him sing Animal fuck like a beast today.He is over 60 years old. 🙄
Never would listen to this guy till he became a Christian since some of his song titles are so bad. After listening to some of his later cd's I think he the band would of done better without the image they had back then.

blackie baby stay away from ballads and anthems please
Why does Blackie have his stankin' ass feet hangin' out the whole time in this vid?
Never liked the drumming on that album.
I don't even believe this is the original. I think that's a reworking they did. He officially redid the album a few years ago I believe. I always thought parts of it had potential but wasn't the masterpiece some people claim it was
The Crimson Idol is one big bore fest. W.A.S.P. only has three albums. Everything after Inside The Electric Circus is crap.
The Devil nah the headless children was an amazing album Chris was on fire with that album tearing up solo after solo after the headless children wasp turned to shit
W.A.S.P/The Last Command(insane album)/Electric Circus/Live ... in the RAW/Headless Children/Crimson Idol are THE main albums of the band. After that there is good songs in each album still.
