I say other bands wish they were WASP; other singers wish they were Blackie. Great bands come and go; some are still hot, but WASP is soooo good. He is an amazing songwriter, too.
The line up with Piper, Lawless, Holmes - yes indeed. It was great. That's the ashes this thing Blackie calls WASP is living off of. This is just a coverband with Blackie fronting it. No disrespect to the musicians though.
как же вы достали своим термином "недооцененный"! это одна из самых известных рок групп за всю историю! какую оцененность ты еще хочешь? чтобы их плакаты во всех городах мира висели?
God. Almighty. This man's voice is an absolute gift from Valhalla. I hope everyone watching this truly understands and appreciates the absolute miracle you are seeing here. And if not, go pull up ANY band from this era with the original lead singer still in the band and touring, find their latest live clip, and hear for yourself what a vocal GOD sounds like compared to those aged piss ants.
In 1985 through 1988 I worked at U-Haul in Pasadena, California (Raymond Avenue). These guys would come in and rent trucks to haul their own stuff to the next gig. They were up and coming but I knew who they were (I'm a metal head forever) and I was speechless each time they came in. It was pure heaven for me ....a 21 year old kid. Thanks Blackie. You rocked then and you still rock now!
Blackie was almost 60 when he performed this, and pulls it off like a youngster full of hormones fronting their first rock band. Brilliant! Rock keeps us forever young.
Honestly who cares what he looks like or if he's fat or not? Who said only 20year old top models had a right to be on a stage? Mister Blackie is still one of the best musicians and singer of all the metal scene. If some people don't like his look or his t-shirt, why don't they just go and watch 'any country''s got talent?
Even still today, Blackie's voice is almost perfect. In multiple interviews, he said that he did vocal exercises and took care of his vocals his whole career. WASP started out as a recording band, not a touring band.
Saw these guys open for Metallica when Metallica was still an underground band. Best show I've ever seen. Blackie is a true artist...always will be no matter what shape he's in...still blows away anything from this day and age. Rock on Blackie....luv u man.
One day walking home from school I found somebodies cd collection in the road....it had lots I was familiar with except of an orange and silver disc titled "The headless children" by Wasp........I put it on when I got home and was like....where the he'll has this band been. Very very under rated band.
Hey Rob welcomes to the show! I was seventeen and Wasp was the first band I ever seen! Supporting Maiden on Somewhere in Time back in 86!Hope you enjoy it on the metal side! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy!
I can listen to The headless children album every day. Really one of my favourite albums of all time. Wasp has a unique sound and Blackie was and is one of the best singers!!! He ages but who doesnt. He still kicks muthafokkin ass. Respect for this hero 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I agree with you Pee Bee, but it is his voice that we go to hear. It is like Elvis in his final years. You wish Blackie was all nice and slim again, but you can't make his face look any younger. His voice however is 100% as it has always been. Rob Halford and Paul Stanley have modified their songs in Judas Priest and Kiss to accommodate their tired voices, but Blackie's voice just goes on and on and on. Amazing! I'll always love Blackie!
Getting older sucks. I was a senior in high school when I first heard F*** Like a Beast, and Wild Child. They blew me away. 35 years of drugs and alcohol really take their toll. Bands like this just don't exist in todays music scene.
The issue isn't that he's heavier. The real issue is that we're losing most of the metal legends to heart attacks in their mid to late 50's. Way too young to die. Not necessary.
Even though a lot of people didn't like Heavy Metal in the 80's. Just like they didn't like Hip Hop in the 80's. I bet you'll listen to it now instead of today's stupid music. I will listen to this music for as long as I live. Today's music can not compete with 1980's music. Positive messages with no cursing.
I agree David! Blackie is sounding amazing! No change at all from 1984! Dam! so he's put some pounds on.. he's still one badass singer,, Thats what counts in music! :)
A friend told me about back stage bands, which take over the sound when bands can’t perform as they should live. I really like that wasp picked up a bassist that complements Blackies vocal style to give the fans the best live sound! Like many bands do by adding supporting guitarist for live performances. Blackie’s voice still holds up all these years later! I Think Rageaholic on RUclips said it best when reviewing Wasp, sound wise he’s Blackie flawless !
Older, became fat, but still got The flame.... Blackie's voice Is still strong and "unique"... I hope i will see and hear WASP a second Time in France ( The first Time was in The early 90's)
I actually like this incarnation of the band... even if Blackie is the only original member left. The new guys bring an enthusiasm and energy to the live performance that you would never get from the old guys that peeked in the 80's.
Zee Risek I agree about this incarnation of the band. In fact Doug Blair, the lead guitarist here is miles above Chris Holmes. Randy Piper is missed though
Did anyone notice the bandsaw blades on his wrists? Takes me back to his F.U.C.K Like A Beast days...Thanks Blackie for showing us again, it's not age, but spirit that makes us METAL!
Dude, looks DO MATTER. Why do you think he's wearing so much mascara? Why is his hair dyed jet black? Why is he wearing buzzsaws on his forearms? I'm sure they've got NOTHING to do with making the music come out of his guitar.
Yes indeed,who cares??? lol Well in flesh,always better than following the anorexic model look like dictature,fuck it,enjoy your food! Hello from France :)
Who is Tom Arafat. Yup, Axl got fat, Don got fat, Vince got fat. But as we saw with Vince, money can buy everything you need to get whipped into shape, and looked great. And then he got fat again!
Blackie lawless maybe older but wow and wow ,he still got it....powerful voice , great range, just like when he was younger and he never lost his voice at all, just like fine wine.....aged better and still sound awesome and amazing.....love wasp music, always and forever......coolest band still.....
It breaks my heart to see Blackie looking this way. I understand we all age, and of course that means rock stars as well. But some of them have aged better than Blackie. Even the ones who used to do tons of drugs and alcohol. I think Blackie just needs to take better care of himself, and get himself in shape. He can do it! Now his voice is still awesome! Which is more than I can say about some other rockers like Axl! Still love him! And he still rocks!
Guy's voice is still on point. Blackie has one of the coolest and most unique voices in metal history.
+Dale Strom Damn Straight he does...
I say other bands wish they were WASP; other singers wish they were Blackie. Great bands come and go; some are still hot, but WASP is soooo good. He is an amazing songwriter, too.
Rabbit in Red. He's the man
Blackie sounds great but he needs his skunk hair back (but invert it - grey with two black stripes)
I was going to say the same thing but you said it better. Great voice!
Probably one of the most underrated band ever
I agree real metal here.
The line up with Piper, Lawless, Holmes - yes indeed. It was great. That's the ashes this thing Blackie calls WASP is living off of. This is just a coverband with Blackie fronting it. No disrespect to the musicians though.
как же вы достали своим термином "недооцененный"! это одна из самых известных рок групп за всю историю! какую оцененность ты еще хочешь? чтобы их плакаты во всех городах мира висели?
The drummer is absolutely living it up! excellent!
Still sounds amazing after almost 40 years. Wow. The music, Blackie's vocals. Holy shit. He carries his voice like no other.
His voice is still just as good as it was in the 80s, amazing
True 😀😀👍👍🎸🎸
Yes same voice He has in studio recording
It obviously isn't, but it's still pretty good
God. Almighty. This man's voice is an absolute gift from Valhalla. I hope everyone watching this truly understands and appreciates the absolute miracle you are seeing here. And if not, go pull up ANY band from this era with the original lead singer still in the band and touring, find their latest live clip, and hear for yourself what a vocal GOD sounds like compared to those aged piss ants.
Wasp was therapy for me while growing up. I have survived it thanks to the music.
He is rocking harder in his 60s than 99% of all the trash bands out today. We love you Blackie!!!!!
Oh my god his voice is just so fucking great. Even after all these years.. he still nails it
My love for W.A.S.P will never die
In 1985 through 1988 I worked at U-Haul in Pasadena, California (Raymond Avenue). These guys would come in and rent trucks to haul their own stuff to the next gig. They were up and coming but I knew who they were (I'm a metal head forever) and I was speechless each time they came in. It was pure heaven for me ....a 21 year old kid. Thanks Blackie. You rocked then and you still rock now!
Blackie is still living the dream. Having fun! To those making fun of his weight, you need to look at yourself first!
He sounds better than a lot of aging rockstars....I’m not going to mention any names VINCE NEIL
Hahaha yessir 👍😂
*Neil
@@gustavk962 hahaha yessir I was wondering if anyone would notice that, good job!👍😁
Gustav Qvist
👍 my bad
Blackie's voice has always been better than Vince Neil's squeaky voice!
Blackie was almost 60 when he performed this, and pulls it off like a youngster full of hormones fronting their first rock band. Brilliant! Rock keeps us forever young.
Lawless, Unique voice, his voice sounds like a thousand singers at the same time.
Thats the crowd bro.😂
"a thousand singers at the same time"... wow... u right!
Blackie has written some kickass quality material. Wasp is one of my favorite 80s bands. 😎
He's my all time favorite
Just Perfect.
I love this Band since 1984.
Goodmusic
Me to
Great performance. Band having a great time, fans having fun; what could be better?
Me to and I'm black.
Still sounds like a prime vocalist and this is live ,respect
Was a massive WASP fan in 80s/90s damn he still sounds fucken awesome.
Blackie awesome front man
Будь ты пьяный или сраный или толстый или старый. Мастерство оно не уходит с годами. RESPECT!!!!!
Гитлер на барабанах. Аахахахахха
Honestly who cares what he looks like or if he's fat or not? Who said only 20year old top models had a right to be on a stage? Mister Blackie is still one of the best musicians and singer of all the metal scene. If some people don't like his look or his t-shirt, why don't they just go and watch 'any country''s got talent?
Thank you Blackie for your Live-. You the Best for ever. Thank you
Even still today, Blackie's voice is almost perfect. In multiple interviews, he said that he did vocal exercises and took care of his vocals his whole career. WASP started out as a recording band, not a touring band.
Blackie Lawless, Mick Mars and Joan Jett are actually the same person.
Lmao
And Robert Smith from the cure
Yep, you've never seen them in the same room right. Lol
True - all 3 like chicks.
Xena warrior princess is his daughter, Lucy Lawless, uncannily similar☠️
Люди стареют, музыка остаётся!!!! Я очень рада за Лоулеса!
Saw these guys open for Metallica when Metallica was still an underground band.
Best show I've ever seen.
Blackie is a true artist...always will be no matter what shape he's in...still blows away anything from this day and age.
Rock on Blackie....luv u man.
I just feel like I'm 17 years again. Thanks Blackie and WASP. Big fun from Mozambique
His voice is in great shape! The Headless Children backdrop is also cool
I was thinking the same thing about the backdrop.
Maybe money is tight and he just took whatever he had laying around in the garage?
Not many bands would have Adolf on stage with them... lol
Blackie = Legend
So freaking amazing!!!!! One of the best songs ever, his voice is still amazing
His voice has changed NOTHING through the years. Blackie, you're a legend.
Still has the emotion as if it's the first time they've done it. That's great! Just started listening to these guys.
One day walking home from school I found somebodies cd collection in the road....it had lots I was familiar with except of an orange and silver disc titled "The headless children" by Wasp........I put it on when I got home and was like....where the he'll has this band been. Very very under rated band.
Glad to see these guys still going. They blew everyone out of the water in the mid 80's. Blackie Lawless' voice is still good as ever.
Been lucky enough to see this line up 3 times. Excellent.
It still sound great. One of the most important voices of rock!
Older, but his voice is solid!
i've seen him live twice in toronto in 2001 or so. one of the best shows i've seen here for. 25 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still with the buzz saw tights! What a cool guy! Best song ever!
Blackie is just such a badass I love him grew up on W.A.S.P
Blackie still looks and sounds great, good on him for still living the spirit of W.A.S.P
Hi. Seen him the burgh. I am 66. Sunset strip meat.. Anglo,... ape hangers.. water... skull...
ATOMIC PUNK ??? Van Halen....(1)???
Im 14 yrs old and LOVE THIS!
Hey Rob welcomes to the show! I was seventeen and Wasp was the first band I ever seen! Supporting Maiden on Somewhere in Time back in 86!Hope you enjoy it on the metal side! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy!
Blackie Lawless, a living legend and a Metal's god... !!!! 🤟
Damn! Grew up listing to them. They still rock!
Damn - They sound great!!
Man, he still has that voice! Imo, the best voice for rock/metal.
I can listen to The headless children album every day. Really one of my favourite albums of all time. Wasp has a unique sound and Blackie was and is one of the best singers!!! He ages but who doesnt. He still kicks muthafokkin ass. Respect for this hero 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
wow blackie sounds perfect!
You are perfect.😘😊
Sonia Anubis I agree
Always will be the finest and best singer so there's no better
🌹 💋 ❤ 🇺🇸 🙃
Соня спой мил человек эту песню,хочется посмотреть как у тебя получиться.
I agree with you Pee Bee, but it is his voice that we go to hear. It is like Elvis in his final years. You wish Blackie was all nice and slim again, but you can't make his face look any younger. His voice however is 100% as it has always been. Rob Halford and Paul Stanley have modified their songs in Judas Priest and Kiss to accommodate their tired voices, but Blackie's voice just goes on and on and on. Amazing! I'll always love Blackie!
ajwasp kiss lip syncs. This is live. Same with priest
Getting older sucks. I was a senior in high school when I first heard F*** Like a Beast, and Wild Child. They blew me away. 35 years of drugs and alcohol really take their toll. Bands like this just don't exist in todays music scene.
Awesome. Through all the years they still rock my world just like the 80s. 2 thumbs up
Fucking hell he can still sing his ass off
The issue isn't that he's heavier. The real issue is that we're losing most of the metal legends to heart attacks in their mid to late 50's. Way too young to die. Not necessary.
Which metal legends have been dying of heart attacks in their mid-late 50's...just curious???
Life your life the way you want too ,that goes for everyone!!!!!!
The Headless children album is EPIC!
Even though a lot of people didn't like Heavy Metal in the 80's. Just like they didn't like Hip Hop in the 80's. I bet you'll listen to it now instead of today's stupid music. I will listen to this music for as long as I live. Today's music can not compete with 1980's music. Positive messages with no cursing.
Blackie Lawless, the legend !!!
Whollymolly they rocked the bayebuuzout of that stage. Still having the energy despite bing old.
I love grandma Lawless, he may look funny now but he was the man back in his day! Still a great performer!
One of my all-time favorite songs! I've always loved WASP!
its amazing he can still sing like that. I always though he had one of the best voice for Hard Rock.
Dam. He sounds good. Make a come back.
I agree David! Blackie is sounding amazing! No change at all from 1984! Dam!
so he's put some pounds on.. he's still one badass singer,, Thats what counts in music! :)
Dennis Hunt Yeah, but he reminds me a highschool portuguese teacher...Damn!
Heck yea blackie kicks ass. Couldn't agree more
I have to agree, he does still sound good.
misturini Why a high school portuguese teacher? lol
stunning performance, brilliant voice
A friend told me about back stage bands, which take over the sound when bands can’t perform as they should live.

My favorite band since I was 14 - 1984. Thank you for posting this.
love this band always have and always will
u have same age like i do i was 14 yrs old in 84 and i still love that great band just like long time ago , Rock never dies thats for sure
i so regret not going to see wasp when they were playing here in Norway!
Goosebumps! I have to see them when the post-COVID tour kicks off.
Man, he took care of his voice because damn he sounds fantastic here!
Love you Blackie!
Older, became fat, but still got The flame.... Blackie's voice Is still strong and "unique"... I hope i will see and hear WASP a second Time in France ( The first Time was in The early 90's)
I HAVE MOST OF THE WASP ALBUMS.TO SEE BLACKIE LAWLESS STILL ROCK AFTER ALL THSES YEARS.HE'S GOT MY RESPECT.I STILL PLAY THE SONGS IN MY CAR.
After 30 years they still rock!!!!
Personally, I don't care if Blackie becomes the size of a house as long as he can still make music.
He's not that big lol Though I completely agree.
Like Jon Oliva
Cant make music with heart failure
Rick Jarvis easy for you to say. Let me guess, your freaking 12 years old! It will catch up to you. Who cares what he looks like, still sounds great.
Amen
Headless children was such an awesome album
W.A.S.P.'s finest moment on record. And as Chris Holmes put it: "I'm damn proud of that one!"
Pay attention children, this is true musicianship.
Still sounds amazing after all these years. Another amazing band that sounds just as good as when they started, if not better.
BLACKIE LAWLESS// 60 YEARS YOUNG// HE SOUNDS AWESOME\,,,/
I actually like this incarnation of the band... even if Blackie is the only original member left. The new guys bring an enthusiasm and energy to the live performance that you would never get from the old guys that peeked in the 80's.
Zee Risek I agree about this incarnation of the band. In fact Doug Blair, the lead guitarist here is miles above Chris Holmes. Randy Piper is missed though
You can never replace an original singer to a band.
Respect!!! Thats the propriate word for this man!!!!he is the lord of metal music!!
did you noticed HITLER near drums?
Did anyone notice the bandsaw blades on his wrists? Takes me back to his F.U.C.K Like A Beast days...Thanks Blackie for showing us again, it's not age, but spirit that makes us METAL!
Damn! His voice is still awsome!!
Looks don't fucking matter. It's all about the voice and the talent. It's all rock n' roll to me baby.
Dude, looks DO MATTER.
Why do you think he's wearing so much mascara?
Why is his hair dyed jet black?
Why is he wearing buzzsaws on his forearms? I'm sure they've got NOTHING to do with making the music come out of his guitar.
CRAZY CRAZY I LOVED THE BEST VOICE OF HARD ROCK....
Adrenaline in my veins and in my soul ... WASPPPPP is the best band ever yyyyyyeess
Великая группа!! 🤘🤘
Blackie not looking so good but still brings it and his vocals are spot on.
Looks fabulous and fantastic his spot on
Blackie still strong after all these years. ..superb band !
Timeless music ,goose pimmples yet again 2021
He became fat, so what? Tom Araya became fat to, Metal is about living the life bro's.
Yes indeed,who cares??? lol
Well in flesh,always better than following the anorexic model look like dictature,fuck it,enjoy your food!
Hello from France :)
nothing wrong with a guy having a bit of meat on his bone :) He does sound awesome
Love this forever!!
@@j_d_kerr So go watch TMZ and fuck off!
Who is Tom Arafat. Yup, Axl got fat, Don got fat, Vince got fat. But as we saw with Vince, money can buy everything you need to get whipped into shape, and looked great. And then he got fat again!
Blackie rocks! Still got the magic!
Blackie lawless maybe older but wow and wow ,he still got it....powerful voice , great range, just like when he was younger and he never lost his voice at all, just like fine wine.....aged better and still sound awesome and amazing.....love wasp music, always and forever......coolest band still.....
i just feel like crying when i see how stars from 70s-80s look like now
Blackie Lawless and Ronnie James Dio 2 of the best voices in metal
Holy shit.. still sounds like WASP when I was in high school
After over 30 years and he still keep going!!!
My No. 1 Music from W.A.S.P
It breaks my heart to see Blackie looking this way. I understand we all age, and of course that means rock stars as well. But some of them have aged better than Blackie.

Like fine wine Blackie...., like fine wine. 🔥🔥🔥.
Blackie sounds phenomenal!!@
This is just awesome. Long live the great Blackie Lawless.
