1986 and I was working at a florist delivering flowers in Austin, TX and some chick orders a black rose to be delivered to Blackie and I show up to deliver the flower around 10 AM and security shows me to their tour bus and I go on and the whole band is in the back playing cards drinking Heinekens. They offered me one and I sat down with them for about 10 minutes listening to them talking shit about life. Blackie was super smart and hilarious and the other guys were badass as well. Still today, the only Heineken I ever enjoyed drinking.
I'm 29, and have been listening to his music for a while. Obviously I missed the golden age, but I can't get over how articulate, and insightful he is. A far cry from 99% of musicians today.
...Blackie is a pretty smart dude. I think his song writing glory days are for the most part, behind him, but man, when the songs were good, THEY WERE REALLY GOOD.
I'm 49 and i went through that time and i was there in early 80s when they started. it was one hell of a time man one one side of the coin we were young, maybe 14, 15 or something like that, Your parents don't understand you, the world doesn't understand you, and they thought the music you were listening to were sung by a bunch of uneducated pot smoking freaks, when they compare it to their time when music was "MORE WHOLESOME" . but the thing they didn't understand was we were not listening to uneducated idiots we were listening to people who were free thinkers who didn't want to be boxed up, and that's why we loved them it was a somewhat confusing time as well, but what we did know for certain was, Our music was our fucking thing and it was fucking awesome and then you had the Metal Underground which... if you were part of it, Made you feel special because you were not just part of that generation you were part of a select group of people that no one else knew about YEAH IT WAS FUCKING COOL AND W.A.S.P. WAS AWESOME
They rocked when I saw them back in'88.' they opened for Iron Maiden because GNR didn't show up. It turned out to be one of the best concerts I ever seen.
Yes Blackie is so intelligent and so interesting... He answers the questions so easily it just flows right out if him... I could listen to him speak 24/7 he has so much to say I love it!!!... A well spoken gentleman!!!...💞💞💞
The first time I saw W.A.S.P. was with Armored Saint , they were opening for Metallica at a small club. What an amazing show it was , Blackie had all his saw blades on and came out of a giant skull and threw raw meat into the crowd. I think it was in 83' , we paid $10 for tickets. Still to this day one of the best concerts I've ever seen and I've literally been to over 100! Blackie is still just as badass 40yrs later. Wish they came to my neck of the woods on this tour though , the last time I saw them was in the mid 90's.....
Saw that tour also....saw raven, wasp and slayer also. I witnessed blackie get hit with a aa battery....NO one could open up for slayer, plus that was one of those ODD pairings
@@DeusMachina71 I saw them at a cool place called the Agora Ballroom in CT , it was a huge warehouse converted into a club with 2 stages. I saw SRV , Allman brothers , Motorhead , Savatage , Nugent and a shit more there ✌️🤘
I saw them in Karlskoga, Sweden at their first visit to Sweden October 1984, a couple of months after the release of their first album. Their arrival in Sweden exploded in the papers and on the telly. Every parent was completely desperate and crushed when they heard about and saw pictures of WASP. It was totaly hysterical. And we teenagers only laughed and loved Blackie and the boys. And the song Animal was released separately on a big picture record with Blackies crotch only covered with a jockstrap ornated with a big circular saw blade, spread over the vinyl.... have we ever seen anyone else dressed like that, before or after Animal? Anyways, on the concert in Karlskoga, I stood in the back during the concert and suddenly I saw something come flying through the air. Towards my direction. I reflexively put up my hand and caught a... piece of meat. About half a pound of pig meat, I believe. I randomly caught the flying flesh, and I kept it! Blackie had so much fun on the stage, cutting a naked girl with a sword and throwing meat on the audience. We had so much fun, as well, to say the least. The piece of meat I brought home and fed our badger who used to visit us under our porch. Aaah...those were the days...😄
Remember that, I saw them at Mudd club in Goteborg at age 15, same tour,. It was hysterical what the papers wrote and what they said on TV about WASP. Of course it made it so much more interesting. Blackie seems very calm, intelligent and honest.

I missed this show, wish I would have went saw them in the 80 convention center with accept one of the best shows ever blackie lawless rules. Come back to Albuquerque NM
He may not like to hang with fans but Blackie has always been a very articulate and highly intelligent individual which ultimately comes out in his interviews and ultimately his conceptual ideas for W.A.S.P. albums being the leader and principal songwriter. I can't wait for a new album and tour if either of those are in the pipeline at the moment.
@@RS-ol8or I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him preferring to be away from the limelight and where he would be subjected to unwanted interactions, even if that means avoiding fan interactions. I respect that. I am the same, I am social when I need to be but prefer to be alone for most part. Interactions with my relatives who are very extroverted can be very uncomfortable for me because they always expect engagement from my side but dealing with them is too much. That said, I am not a famous musician or a famous anything.
That's insane the fact you all went through all this glad you're alright..saw you when I 15 in marquette michigan 3 20 1985. Wish i.could see you again when you come to Wisconsin bummer ..I can only wish to see you all again...stay safe get well Blackie ... Said some prayers for you tonight...stay strong..
Blackie is a very IQ man. He and Gene Simmons too. To be able to get to this success he got in his career, you gotta be a very smart and intelligent person.
I wish I was sharing the same table with Blackie, Phil Anselmo and Tom Araya at the Rainbow Bar&Grill and talking about this and that. That would be the happiest hours of my life...and a hell of a stories.
Blackie takes what he does seriously, so yeah, his faith kind of plays a role, and for sure in those days there were nuts who took the lyrics to an extreme, but I think he and others are starting to get that it's shock rock. It's a show, like a horror movie. Just like Alice Cooper, Zombie, Manson, etc. Nobody did it better than W.A.S.P., and nobody ever will.
They really need to make a drama series of this time. All the way from the beginnings of the sunset strip through to this time with the PMRC, either focusing on W.A.S.P or something that includes a lot of the major bands in that era.
Holy crap. I am "that guy". I go and watch and take it all in. General admission tickets, floor, seats, i take it all in but do not WHOOOO, or jump around. I am simply an introvert, not a shooter.
I have loved Blackie and W.A.S.P. since I was in 4th grade! I even got in trouble for bringing my "Boombox" to school so I could listen to the self-titled album! I was into W.A.S.P. right before I heard Metallica's Kill Em All.
I remember hearing himfor the first time in a interview and with in two sentences I immediately recognized this guy I'd super intelligent. Nothing changed.
2:53 Uh oh, he just described me. Met Mark Osegueda before a show a few years back and got a pic with him. During the show he saw me in the crowd & I was straight faced, stiff as a board. He seemed to be waiting for me to make some kind of hell yeah this is great gesture but I was frozen. He looked at me for what felt like an eternity. I didn't budge. When he finally looked away I could breathe again. I have some kind of social disorder that makes me freeze in a situation like this. I'm not a psycho that's there for a different reason, I just like to watch & listen. I can't bang my head or throw the horns or show any kind of emotion in public like most people. I always wonder if Mark remembers me lol
In my place of work, I’m the self appointed DJ! I bring a guitar amp with me and plug my phone with its music catalogue into it, my music of choice sometimes being 80’s metal and I still play Animal (FLAB) to this day…..Blackie always had this amazing voice - he’s a master of vocal fry technique in his singing and I’m amazed he’s managed to keep his voice throughout the years doing it!
I have it as the single on a circular saw vinyl. Back in the 80's, I stole it from my cousin, who was serving 8 years and his stuff was at my house. I was 12 and it was the first time I heard "Animal." He got out and ended right back in for another 12 for violating parole for shoplifting, lol. Never saw him again. All his cool early 80's metal shit was all mine.
It's one thing to dislike and disapprove of a song and the band that plays it and openly criticize them. Wanting to resort to violence over music is just plain deranged!
1985? I went to a club called L'Amour in Brooklyn, where Metallica was headlining, with W.A.S.P. as opening act, among others - Armored Saint were one - and one of the lines Blackie said on stage was "How many of you are here tonight because you want some pussy???" - The man spoke to my soul. Bless him!!
...Interesting. I started listening to WASP right after the first album came out (84/85), then I got my hands on a 12" record of Animal, and I remember being all secretive about having the record. It was one of those things that you couldn't let your parents know that you had. For those who don't know a 12" vinyl single is basically a full size record album, but just one or 2 or so songs on it. And the sleeve for Animal has the circular saw cod piece, and blood all over it so it wasn't something that could be hidden very easily except slid into the record collection. Back in the mid 80's it was just something mom and dad didn't need to see...but on the other hand, that was something you surely showed kids at school. That story about the FBI that Blackie talks about in the 2nd or so minute... I believe it. I remember Poison even having death threats against them in 1989 or so. I remember being at the shows and just seeing guys, who you could tell were not fans, but it seemed like they were scanning the crowd for people who were looking to start trouble with the band or maybe even fans. Definitely a crazy time with the PMRC crap going on.
Will always love WASP, but Blackie looks tough, geese. Must be due to his long, endearing relationship with the PMRC. :-) Inside the Electric Circus and The Headless Children just badass albums!
I saw wasp in 2004 at the Roseland theater in Portland Oregon Blackie Lawless voice was unchanged since the 80s I hope wasp makes a stop in the pacific northwest on this tour
This is really interesting commontary done in a simple manner. I'm curious if it's his case of Lawless commenting with the "New height's comes new ill's side of the fisco or his way of saying F you to the censorship or both? Someone should ask about the original character's he played during his career in the 80s, because this was a band that blew up so quickly, yet also had the serious writing that was in The Neon God, Headless Children and Chrimas Idol.
Just love the way Big Daddy chill out I'm enjoying just playing his home land enjoy yourself Big Daddy we need you back in the UK next year will be in a front row drunk as loads singing and enjoying one of the greatest bands that America has ever produced you can keep all the UK bands like the stones Iron Maiden free the other bloody band I can't remember that Eric Clapton was in The Beatles Queen U2 Duran Duran Def Leppard blah blah blah blah blah just give us f****** wasp and the big shout out to the boys especially Douglas Blair had the pleasure of meeting him in London last time they played f****** gentleman enjoy you yanks we want the boys back
That explains the looks on his face when he'd take pictures with fans, kinda had the "deer in the headlights" look? I'd be scared for my life too. "It's the chickenshit stuff!"
that guy with the stoneface coulda been me when i had severe irratable bowel syndrome shortly after my dad passed away.my only intent was to keep my sh** onborad during the show.
Blackie sure does a lot of interviews. It is amazing he can do so many with all those vocals he sings night after night on this grueling tour, huh? More often lead singers are forbidden from doing interviews like this so they can rest up their vocal cords in between gigs. Blackie must be very lucky his voice does not suffer, huh?
I don't totally agree with him about who's the guy you gotta watch. I was never one of those people who goes nuts at a concert, I just liked to take it all in, and was always introverted so i didn't act crazy, scream and yell, all that crap. I guess I would have been watched at a W.A.S.P. show then.

we were listening to people who were free thinkers who didn't want to be boxed up,
and that's why we loved them
it was a somewhat confusing time as well, but what we did know for certain was, Our music was our fucking thing and it was fucking awesome
and then you had the Metal Underground which... if you were part of it, Made you feel special because you were not just part of that generation you were part of a select group of people that no one else knew about
YEAH IT WAS FUCKING COOL AND W.A.S.P. WAS AWESOME

I love his demeanor and his respectful honest sincere attitude and how he answers with no holds barred. Cool as a cucumber always!
He has some David Lee Roth in him.
Love blackie 🤘🏼🔥
Nothing but respect for Blackie, even through out all of his flaws, which we all have. Thanks for all of the music.
We definitely ALL have flaws!!! If more people could look inward they wouldn’t be so fast to judge others!!!
Just because you have flaws doesn't mean Blackie does. Blackie is Flawless. Not everyone is a sad Asian boi.
@Michael Whitted That was his uncle not his father, according to Wikipedia
Blackie Flawless

I'm getting addicted to these Blackie Lawless Q&A sessions. Not sure why, but he seems like a great guy.
Listen to the Golgotha record and you'll know why!
He has such a great personality. Greetings from Iran

That explains the looks on his face when he'd take pictures with fans, kinda had the "deer in the headlights" look? I'd be scared for my life too. "It's the chickenshit stuff!"

Did Michael Angelo's hair join wasp?
Blackie sure does a lot of interviews. It is amazing he can do so many with all those vocals he sings night after night on this grueling tour, huh?
More often lead singers are forbidden from doing interviews like this so they can rest up their vocal cords in between gigs.
Blackie must be very lucky his voice does not suffer, huh?
IM THINKING HE US VERYYY BLESSED..
Dude- he's uses backing tracks when he sings. Some things he sings, some he doesn't.
I was in attendance at the concert and his voice is simply spectacular. I’ve never heard anything like it
Yes he uses some back tracks but when he sings live and you were at the concert it is very spectacular!!! His voice is amazing in attendance
I asked him about heavy touring and vocals.... I'll post that as well.
I don't totally agree with him about who's the guy you gotta watch. I was never one of those people who goes nuts at a concert, I just liked to take it all in, and was always introverted so i didn't act crazy, scream and yell, all that crap. I guess I would have been watched at a W.A.S.P. show then.
What the hell is wrong with these people today!? They aren't just killing in School's, Now they're in our Concert's. 🤬
