RIP Steve Riley.This is a Heavy Metal Masterpiece. Pure Metal at it's finest. Every single one of you guys was totally on. GREAT. We'll miss you Riley and thank you for giving us this Heavy Metal.
Chris Holmes , Randy Piper , Steve Riley & Blackie Lawless . That was when WASP was at the top of their game . Seen WASP 3 times in 1984 and they were IT 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Randy Pipers guitar tone and style make this song so heavy. Love the back and forth solos with Randy and Chris in the middle, then the end is how you rock out and end a song.. 80s Metal Style !! \m/
Brett Car if anyone wants the piper Holmes guitar tone, I’m selling my Lexicon PCM41 delay: www.ebay.com/itm/Lexicon-PCM-41-Digital-Delay-Processor-USA-and-Australian-Powered/163281061925?hash=item26044f4825:g:8LQAAOSwxMRbkLq1
Dude there’s a lot of killer metal bands that play in this classic style around u just really gotta look for them Ambush, Night Demon, Midnight Spell, Enforcer, Sabïre, Midnight Priest
@@McSorleyFan33 it's just not the same, back then it was raw and fresh totally different can't even compare, early 80s these are the original metal bands.
The fifteen year old in me is still punching his fists in the air watching this more than God knows how many years on. These guys and the songs from this era still hold a special spot in my heart. Just brings back great times. WASP!!!
I was too young to see the Newcastle 84 show but I have an excellent quality cassette recording from the show that night, and it sounded like an awesome show. My first W.A.S.P. show was not until Donnington 87’ three years later, and I’ve never missed a tour since then. Incredible band, lead by Blackie who I finally met back stage at the secret Marquee gig they did two nights prior to their Donnington 92’ appearance that started off the Crimson Idol tour. Sleeping in the fire is still my joint favourite W.A.S.P. song along with Hellion. Take care Sophie.
@@federicotrullasconrath3256 Está claro, afortunadamente, que W.A.S.P. no se parece a KISS. El comentario hace referencia a los movimientos de Blackie, que se parecen demasiado, por no decir igual, a los que ejecutaba Paul Stanley. Un fuerte abrazo.
I saw KISS 12-28-85 in Charlotte N.C. Black and Blue opened. A few months later, W.A.S.P. opened. I was so damn pissed. I would have LOVED to have seen, W.A.S.P.
The best lineup, best sound - always loved Piper-Holmes guitar duos sound. It is a crime that this lineup limited to two albums. (Ok Tony was on the first)
Oh I remember this. This is when w.a.s.p. was W.A.S.P.! And also apparently when Blackie started to get his Paul Stanley strut goin'. I would go see them at the Troubadour when I was only 14, before the first record even came out. Those shows were magic.
2 min 12 , when your head voice is too fucked up by touring and your very raw normal style , you back to the black metal mode you did in the Sister days and Troubadours wasp days ! Excellent
The best lineup by far! Wasp was an amazing Band in this period! They were damn good I lived in the Hollywood Hills in the 80's - My rock and roll years in the music biz!
If we’re being realistic Chris would be a no as he’s perma pissed at blackie but Randy I don’t think he hates the man. So Randy showing up for a show or two isn’t impossible and could happen stranger shit has happened, and to be fair if blackie threw enough money at Chris he could possibly pretend it’s all kosher and act as if nothing happened wouldn’t be the first time lol.
You are a fantastic guitar player dude. Great tone, beautifully composed solo. Those first two albums were amazing, especially that first one. I had a kick ass picture of you on my wall from Kerrang magazine with a guitar with pipes or hoses all over it. Much respect.
I was at this concert. It was July 5th 1986. They opened for Iron Maiden. That was Maidens last show before releasing Live After Death that October. This was a kick ass concert, Thx for posting it!!!!!!
I agree. This was the best line up for the band . This my friends is W.A.S.P. - except no substitutes. These first couple albums. Were the best , raw , real , hard & heavy . 1st time I heard their debut album I was blown away.
greatest guitaring ever, the whole album is incredible, not sure how you guys got on but holy shit it was an incredible time and album. thanks you so much for creating this 🤘🏻🤘🏻 I miss the 80's so much 😭
when I see this footage I cant believe that W.A.S.P. released the "live at lyceum" VHS. THIS footage is killer! Should have been released as official VHS (maybe the entire show wasnt filmed? ) I grew up as teenager in the 80s and when W.A.S.P came to Sweden in 1984 people were freakin out haha imagine me 10 years old seeing a band like this on tv :) man I was hooked for LIFE! and here I am now at 37 and still getting goosebumps when I see this clip. METAL in my brain and ears til I die!

RIP my friend Steve Riley. Thank you for your comment.
By far the best WASP lineup of all time.
Underrated band!❤ One of the best metal ballads ever recorded . This one live version kills !!..🎸
Chris Holmes , Randy Piper , Steve Riley & Blackie Lawless . That was when WASP was at the top of their game . Seen WASP 3 times in 1984 and they were IT 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sleeping In The Fire Live at the Lyceum 1984 with Chris & Randy dueling leads 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
God this is epic.The rhythm guitar sound is cavernous like a doom band.Just brilliant,everyone on it hard here. We are not worthy!
Music today has no idea how good it was back in the day.......
Randy piper has a nice low end sound
@@cjbecker1683 that comment requires you to listen to Buckethead - Hold Me Forever
Randy Pipers guitar tone and style make this song so heavy. Love the back and forth solos with Randy and Chris in the middle, then the end is how you rock out and end a song.. 80s Metal Style !! \m/

Indeed🤘thank you
absolutely killer - no one rocks like this any more - what a performance
Would see this tour in Springfield mass. Amazing memories, The 80s Rocked!!!!!!!
😂
Dude there’s a lot of killer metal bands that play in this classic style around u just really gotta look for them
Ambush, Night Demon, Midnight Spell, Enforcer, Sabïre, Midnight Priest

@@badmonkey2222 cmpletely right
1984 was a Very Good Year for Metal!!!!
Da kam ich aus der Schule

Me to bud,I was 13.
🤘🎸🤘
their finest hour and best line up
tommyf663 amen to that
I love that guitar Solo. Randy and Chris together. There's something magical about it. Greetings from Finland.
Thank you 🤘
Saw them in 1984 in Newcastle. What a live act. Piper and Holmes. The American version of Tipton and Downing.
I was too young to see the Newcastle 84 show but I have an excellent quality cassette recording from the show that night, and it sounded like an awesome show. My first W.A.S.P. show was not until Donnington 87’ three years later, and I’ve never missed a tour since then.

Is that Newcastle UK?
I bet that was great. I saw them at the City Hall in 1986 but I thought they lost a bit when Blackie moved from bass to guitar.
@@christopherbentley578 definitely. Piper was a big part of there sound also.
Killer solo! Wasp are definatly legends.
If this lineup could have stayed together.. they had the magic that is hard to capture.
Worst decision Blackie ever made in his career was firing Randy. Period.
I agree....and they sucked ever since.
Didn't he decide to leave after Blackie started to get a big head?
Blackie is a guitar player first and wanted to back to guitar
Jajaja of course not
@@GorditoCrunch343 Blackie, bless him, ALWAYS had a big head..
I've loved wasp since they come out in the 80 s
One of my favorite bands sadly never seen any of their lineups live
Even the drumming in this one is sharp and adds drive to boys playing in harmony and blackys voice has that rasp,,, whole thing history at it's best.
blackie was highly decorated tap dancer in his jr. high school years.. really shows here! LOVE Chris Holmes & Randy!
Randy is amazing here.
There is so much KISS influence here, in terms of moves and performance, it's unreal.
Kiss es Kiss, nada que ver con WASP, WASP tiene su propio sonido.......
@@federicotrullasconrath3256 Está claro, afortunadamente, que W.A.S.P. no se parece a KISS. El comentario hace referencia a los movimientos de Blackie, que se parecen demasiado, por no decir igual, a los que ejecutaba Paul Stanley. Un fuerte abrazo.
Yep Blackie is doing those Paul Stanley moves hopping around def and kiss are very influential this kicks ass
I saw KISS 12-28-85 in Charlotte N.C.
Black and Blue opened.
A few months later, W.A.S.P. opened.
I was so damn pissed.
I would have LOVED to have seen, W.A.S.P.
Watching this video; I didn't want it to end!
I love this song, I had forgotten about how much Blackie danced about, f*ck am gettin' auld.
W.A.S.P. - одна из лучших групп в своём жанре.
Randy Piper yet another UNDER RATED GUITAR PLAYER.
I saw WASP open for Iron Maiden at the San Jose Civic Center in 1985. AWESOME!
The Best True Line Up ⚡🔥😎🤘
The best lineup, best sound - always loved Piper-Holmes guitar duos sound. It is a crime that this lineup limited to two albums. (Ok Tony was on the first)
Yeah. They basically had a diff lineup on every subsequent record unfortunately. This one was tops.
Tony was on drums though. But i see what you mean
Randy you were a God to me no doubt I'm 46:: but W.A..S..P. was the true masters of Heavy Metal.
Oh I remember this. This is when w.a.s.p. was W.A.S.P.! And also apparently when Blackie started to get his Paul Stanley strut goin'. I would go see them at the Troubadour when I was only 14, before the first record even came out. Those shows were magic.
2 min 12 , when your head voice is too fucked up by touring and your very raw normal style , you back to the black metal mode you did in the Sister days and Troubadours wasp days !
Excellent
Piper+Holmes=🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s so beautiful
W.A.S.P. My Favorite Band 🔥🤘
I'M FROM #IRAN 👑❤️🙏
THE BEST WASP
yes
Ever!!
The original is always the best
i'll never tire of this song EVER!!!!
thank's for all your work Randy
Neither do I but I'm sure my neighbours are sick of hearing me play it on guitar all the time. 😂 TOO BAD
Dynamic duo genius Randy & Chris jux amazing guitar wizardry!
SLEEPING IN THE FIRE - Live At The Lyceum 1984 Randy & Chris Dueling Lead Guitars is the GREATEST 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The best lineup by far! Wasp was an amazing Band in this period! They were damn good I lived in the Hollywood Hills in the 80's - My rock and roll years in the music biz!
Randy Piper the nicest man alive !!!! WASP in their best form 🎤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
YOU ROCKED THE TROUBADOUR RANDY!
I know cause I was there.
KILLER SHOW!
MEAT TOSSING FESTIVAL
The last command tour was the last I seen the band.
Randy & Chris were great together!!!!!
Great guitar solos!!
The classic line up. How great would it be to see this again on stage.
If we’re being realistic Chris would be a no as he’s perma pissed at blackie but Randy I don’t think he hates the man. So Randy showing up for a show or two isn’t impossible and could happen stranger shit has happened, and to be fair if blackie threw enough money at Chris he could possibly pretend it’s all kosher and act as if nothing happened wouldn’t be the first time lol.
I loved the instrumental bit at the end
Randy ,Chris, Blackie,and drums i Love You
Piper/Holmes. Enough said. Awesome! I do enjoy some of the later WASP material but there´s a magic quality to this that just can't be found anymore.
Randy and Chris are the best .
I love the drumming in this version in places it gives it a hard drive.
Holy Cow! I just realized this was uploaded by Randy Piper! The Randy Piper? You Fuckin Rock dude! Been a fan for about 27 years now! Keep goin!
Thanks i didn't notice either
TERRIFIC MAJESTIC MASTERPIECE 🔥💥🎸🎸🌟🌟🎼🎼🎶👍💕😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏💯💯💯I LOVE W.A.S.P. I LOVE BLACKIE LAWLESS. 👏😎💕
I wonder what I'd be listening to today if I hadn't discovered WASP & Crue in 1985?
Thanks for all the great music.
I was at this show and this video does it no justice. The vid is awesome, the live show was EPIC!!
That was tight, a kick ass show. I wish i listened to more wasp back then
So glad to have seen this live...chris and Randy what a perfect combination...and that fret tapping solo just gets me everytime.
I'd pay a 100 bones to see this line up again.
Jenn Faire yeah I probably would too!!
I'd pay $1000 for an hour and 10 minutes live again.
This is heavy metal music Randy Piper as a leader does not allow PLAYBACK well Randy you are my favorite THE BEST!!
The whole world needs to hear this song! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
And Blackie was 🔥😄
This is some killer footage. Thanks Randy!
Coolfriendsforever
Metal Gods no one can touch this Magnificent unmatched performance
This clip amazing, thank you for sharing it! Been WASP fan since 85, but just now I'm starting to realize how good Randy Piper was.
Best Blackie's voice ever! Great line up! TOP!
When blackie was young he was the brilliant front man with head banging .
The last band I played in was about 10 years ago and this was one of my favorite songs we played!
Die Gitarrensolos sind der absolute Hammer 🎸🎸🎸
Blackie doing the legendary 'Ali shuffle' again. dan he is good at it! :-) love you, Backie!
Man, this is friggin AWESOME.
This is exactly what 80s metal is all about.
You are a fantastic guitar player dude. Great tone, beautifully composed solo. Those first two albums were amazing, especially that first one. I had a kick ass picture of you on my wall from Kerrang magazine with a guitar with pipes or hoses all over it. Much respect.
Amazing performance, Congrats! Good times!
WASP has been a favorite of mine since 1985. Those first 3 albums are brilliant
Best heavy metal band ever.
Piper and Holmes screaming guitar duels!!! so 'kin cool, cant beat!
I was at this concert. It was July 5th 1986. They opened for Iron Maiden. That was Maidens last show before releasing Live After Death that October. This was a kick ass concert, Thx for posting it!!!!!!
one of my favorite songs! thank you my sweet Randy!♡

Absolutely speechelss. Godly. That solo cures the cancer.
Still get cold chills and goose bumps hearing WASP.

They opened for Maiden of the Powerslave tour. :)

when I see this footage I cant believe that W.A.S.P. released the "live at lyceum" VHS.
THIS footage is killer! Should have been released as official VHS
(maybe the entire show wasnt filmed? )
I grew up as teenager in the 80s and when W.A.S.P came to Sweden in 1984 people were freakin out haha imagine me 10 years old seeing a band like this on tv :)
man I was hooked for LIFE!
and here I am now at 37 and still getting goosebumps when I see this clip.
METAL in my brain and ears til I die!
Wow, great footwork, Blackie Lawless.x
