    What a deep voice Blackie has! I’m from Russia, I heard W.A.S.P. in 1985, what I liked the most was the track where “... I want to be somebody”! it was banned, of course, but we still listened to it on vinyl, cassettes and fans!

      @@stacyusselmann8428 Thank you for tuning in. Can’t say enough nice things about Blackie. Even took extra time to talk more history. I’m hoping to catch them here in MA. I had to drive to CT to see them 20 years ago…

    WASP was a bing inspiration when I was starting out playing music in the late 80s. I don't think a lot of people understood the humor and theatrics as well as musicianship as a complete package though. They had their own thing for sure.

    Put out a Christian Rock album and watch people lose their minds like they did in the 80s.
