W.A.S.P. performing "The Idol" Live at Copenhell, Copenhagen, Denmark, June 23th 2018. A very impressive performance from a great band ... I was lucky catching this epic moment \m/
Omg blotted up minis original led guitarist he still rocks. They were so underrated in 80s 90s they should of been up there with motley maiden priest in that era !!! What I always liked about blackie his words emotions in his songs voice still amazing im 57 still rock to wasp
@@thesentinel5523 "several years". I don't know about that. Blackie's singing has been genuinely live for the past several years as far as I can tell. It only seems to be select shows from 2019 where it looks like Blackie is lip syncing. Look at this performance from 2017: ruclips.net/video/gyei_Mi2B3M/видео.html I'm no expert on this sort of thing but it sounds like he's really singing to me. And if you wanna go back to a performance in 2014: ruclips.net/video/KqZwlNwzjsk/видео.html There's no doubt in my mind the one from 2014 is 100% live.
@@richspizzaparty Well I watched them here in Canada 10 years ago and was less than a foot from stage and I can assure you he sang his ass off and sounded better than most metal bends I love.
Wow..im still pissed at my mom for not letting me see them when they were opening for Iron Maiden in the 80's..it makes me wonder how my life would of changed
My dad did the same thing. My sister bought me tickets for metallica and justice for all tour. The concert was on my 15th birthday. Dad said nope youre not going.
Yes! They finally did the part at 1:12 again - that's my favorite part of "The Idol" and I was a bit disappointed when they skipped this part at a concert in 2012
He doesn`t smoke and rarely drinks,warms up his voice four hours prior to the show and holds back during sound checks, sticking to his lower register as much as possible,and he is overly cautious with his voice,since he ruptured his left vocal chord in 84....Respect to that voice!
@Jerry Thomas even at the end when he sings "only looooove" He has to record a backing track for it and they have to be much exact with the timing: he sings it after a long solo...
No hes not . I met him outside rockcity Nottingham and he wouldn't sign my cd. I said look Doug Ive just paid for a ticket, bought your music you owe me man . He said sorry but no. Mike Duda on the otherhand is a great guy, he spent ages just chatting to my brother and I then went in the tour bus and got us a can of coke each. Top bloke
@@fredster454 of course they owe them! If it wasn't for the fans supporting them their whole career they wouldn't be doing this today, they'd most likely be nobodies. Musicians owe EVERYTHING to their fans. If signing a CD for a fan who has paid money to see you is so hard for them to do they don't deserve any fans full stop.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW IMPRESSIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCHING THE VIDEO I HAD GOOSEBUMPS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WHAT IF I WATCH THEM LIVE !!!!!!
I for one am very glad this man fell head over heels in love with The Who when he was wee. Not a lot of people know that but you can plainly hear it in many of his song. Not in a copy kind of way. Just in the best kind 'influenced' and 'taking those influences in another direction' kind of way. Listen to mid period, Tommy, rock opera, stadium filling Who music and you will know it. Epic + melody and song writing chops. I've appreciate his music much more, since the penny finally dropped.
Crimson and Still Not Black Enough are incredible. Loved WASP and Blackie since I was 14. I hate he's a little ring-wing nutty now that he's up there, but he's still the fun/intelligent guy who wrote 2 of the most amazing albums, imo. So i'll give him a pass. Plus his voice is so underrated and unique.
One thing about it, if you like Blackie's sound and music style then you have enjoyed his last five or so releases. Golgatha, Babylon, Dominator etc are really good. Unholy Terror and Dying for the World are outstanding.

He still kills it! His voice is amazing after all these years and at his age! amazing! Dont ever stop Blackie!
Omg blotted up minis original led guitarist he still rocks. They were so underrated in 80s 90s they should of been up there with motley maiden priest in that era !!! What I always liked about blackie his words emotions in his songs voice still amazing im 57 still rock to wasp
I think it is not live
God bless his heart.... his voice still as it is 40 years ago
I'm really impressed how his voice is still so thundering, towering, unbreakable, wondrous. I love Blackie❤ He is the best.
He got me through life... Cheers Blakie! One off the best! Class
Wow that is some greatness on the guitar
That voice is eternal 💀🤟🔥
still just fantastic, im 62 and will rock yuns forever
his guitarist is amazing on back up vocals
He's never lost his vocal ability like most singers from his era..fkn amazing!
He almost did.
One of my favorite songs on this album. W.A.S.P is one of the best band's ever.
What a great solo!
40 pluss years of heavy rock and still can do high notes,thats something...
His voice is in amazing form. I don't know of any male rock singer who sounds that good at that age.
@@jeffkenny9448
Kiske,,,Halford,,,Hansen,,,,Dickinson,,,Diamond,,,Tate,,,,just some names beside Lawless.
He's been confirmed to lip-sync for at least the past several years. Look it up. He went from being Blackie Lawless to pulling a Paul Stanley.
Sadly he’s lip syncing, you can search videos of it.

why this voice never gets old?
Because he did not choose the music - the music choose him lolololol
Matti Daryadel never!!
Top demais!!
Matti Daryadel prob. bcs he didn't do drugs, alcohol etc , or at least did it in moderation
@@starchild2121
WAR CRY!!!
@@starchild2121 He's using playback. I know I 'cuse spoke with a sound technician in a venue he played here in Norway. Playback 4 sure
his voice never change...the idol!
I just discovered the song I searched for 1992 live version then 2010 then 2018. This man’s voice is still the same thats incredible!!!
Легенда !!!
Guys, "The Idol" is a great song. It cannot be done dirty. All harmonics and suspenders are important here. God bless Blackie!
Blackie has made some amazing music over all the years. Keep waving that Metal Flag.
Dieser Song ist einfach toll.Blackie Stimme ist wirklich super.Die Gitarrensolos sind der absolute Wahnsinn.Ich liebe dieses Lied.✨🎸🎼
славные ветираны рокешника. легенда.
Grandi una leggenda che continua avevo 18 anni quando o iniziato ad ascoltarli
I wasn' sure what to expect, but that was an awesome performance - Blackie sounds great!
He sounds like on record. His 80's voice was very sharp, but he can sing the 80's stuff close enough
My thoughts exactly. His voice is in amazing form for his age.
Because it is a record, he’s using a backing track.
@@richspizzaparty
Well I watched them here in Canada 10 years ago and was less than a foot from stage and I can assure you he sang his ass off and sounded better than most metal bends I love.
The BEST VOICE!!!!!
СУПЕР!
Doug Blair is the metal version of David Gilmour!! Beautiful performance!
Bob Kulick wrotes that Solo not Doug
Reminds me a lot of the outro solo in Comfortably Numb.
Great job awesome performance !
Ich kann diesen super Song gar nicht oft genug hören 🎼🎸🎵.
Fantastic, like a good wine , more older , better than ever.....
ПЛАНЕТА В.А.С.П. БЛЭКИ ЛЕГЕНДА, ИДОЛ ВСЕГДА!
la voz impecable, y lo que suena la banda entera
WHY WHY WHY does Europe always have superior Heavy Metal and W.A.S.P. I I would kill to see Blackie Lawless he’s a Metal God !!!
Because they pay better than america does.
Still what a voice!!! it's got even better.
The pain in the lyrics man
They grab you
He had to have been a tortured soul when writing this
Merci à vous , les mecs !!! 🙏
Incrediable!!!. This guitar player is outstanding ! Amazing!
Wow..im still pissed at my mom for not letting me see them when they were opening for Iron Maiden in the 80's..it makes me wonder how my life would of changed
My dad did the same thing. My sister bought me tickets for metallica and justice for all tour. The concert was on my 15th birthday. Dad said nope youre not going.
I still be pissed...I saw them 6 times back then...blackie gave nikki sixx all those ideas. Never said a word. Sister would have been awesome
Definitely
Yes! They finally did the part at 1:12 again - that's my favorite part of "The Idol" and I was a bit disappointed when they skipped this part at a concert in 2012
Wow. I saw them in '85 w Iron Maiden, then again in '89 when they headlined.
almost 30yrs & Blackie still hits them notes
He doesn`t smoke and rarely drinks,warms up his voice four hours prior to the show and holds back during sound checks, sticking to his lower register as much as possible,and he is overly cautious with his voice,since he ruptured his left vocal chord in 84....Respect to that voice!
@Jerry Thomas even at the end when he sings "only looooove"
He has to record a backing track for it and they have to be much exact with the timing: he sings it after a long solo...
Want a performance blackie 💖💖💖
love this voice
Best voice in metal and best on the planet
HAHAHAHA
Terrific! Tichy is a great fit. Doug Blair on the guitar is the best guitarist W.A.S.P. has ever had.
Doug Blair is a shredder for sure. Super nice guy also
No hes not . I met him outside rockcity Nottingham and he wouldn't sign my cd. I said look Doug Ive just paid for a ticket, bought your music you owe me man . He said sorry but no.

@@aaronhughes4724 hahahaha. Fuck I don't know why I love this comment ! Lol!
If someone would walk up to me going "you owe me", I would do exactly the same. Fuck you man, those people dont owe you anything.
@@fredster454 of course they owe them! If it wasn't for the fans supporting them their whole career they wouldn't be doing this today, they'd most likely be nobodies.

Outstanding!
Top!!

Blackie's voice sounds amazing
Idk why but it reminds me Comfortably Numb, specially the last solo.
Lol, yeah now you mention it, had my eyes shut to be sure, maybe Gilmour is his "idol"
If you learn some of music theory, you will understand why.
Great !
You my idol music!
