Damn thats a hell of a duo. I always said Wasp was incorrectly lumped with Glam. They were much closer to an American contemporary to Maiden or Priest.
I like the the tighter sound and that snare sounds great. Love the bass as well. But I'd take Frankie's original drum performance over this one. This new one just doesn't have that intensity that Frankie brought on the original. The new lyrics are good but the original was raw and I felt the anger that Blackie was conveying in the first recording. Bassed on this single I think I'll stick to the original. The Crimson Idol is a great concept album.
@@laurenferrandez5132 I imagine that yours is a beautiful black cat! I love cats, especially black ones. Unfortunately I don't have any but I had some when I was a kid and I have fond memories of them.
I made a comment just the other night when a fellow FB poster put a pic of a new WASP album on there. I said, WHOA!!! Haven't heard that one yet but, in my opinion is the best metal album ever done by WASP was The Headless Children. I was mistaken. I was thinking about The Crimson Idol. It's just Blackie Metal straight, hard fast into your soul. Had me back in the 80's. Nothing else could beat it. Blackie makes no mistakes.
Charlie to Jonathon: O.K. boy now here's your deal Will you gamble your life?

@@sullysosavage365 I saw them in Reno a month ago, makes you wonder if that is a recording of the dirty lyrics that he is lip synching to. I know Blackie admits to using some tracks.
Honestly, I hate the altered lyrics. It's not that they're bad, it's just I'm so use to the original that this version sounds a bit off to me. I'm ecstatic as fuck that there is a clean version of this song with such great quality that is also the "new version" though because it gives me a chance to play it on my radio show and talk a bit about this records anniversary... So I mean, at least it's radio friendly!
One of the best parts of this is the fact I wasn't alive during the Crimson Idol's original release, so in a weird sense I was able to live seeing the Crimson Idol's release with this record (in terms of seeing Blackie's interviews, seeing the videos, the first day I got to hear the whole thing and the new songs were great additions too).
Many years have passed, but that change at 3:43 still gives me goose bumps. What a brilliant masterpiece this album was and how sadly unknown it is among the average rock listener. Anyway, there are some things that sound worse in this new version. The lyrics, as expected, have succumbed to the woke virus that is everywhere these days and had to be changed. The tom roll at 3:58 sounds much cleaner in the original version. I guess the years don't pass in vain and although Frankie Banali is a true BEAST there are some things that are difficult to repeat, and in the original version he did it just perfect. The solo at 5:49 is definitely much better in the original version, as a certain amount of Wah was used in the bendings, making it much more characterful and aggressive, not to mention that the fade out is infinitely better, making it gradually fade into the background. The new version sounds neater but definitely less exciting.
I think that Blackie shouldn't have censored himself. No matter where he is now, his life (for better or for worse) is the road that brought him there.
@@demomancerzv9036 я этим не заморачиваюсь--просто слушаю красивую комбинацию звуков...так же как иногда включаю эстраду кндр,или марш иракской партии БААС.-а про что поют--их дело--я просто слушаю и мне идеально хорошо.
@@dmytrostan5653 ну смотри, если тебе понравилась эта группа я могу посоветовать Iron Maiden и их альбом Seventh Son of Seventh Son, и Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime Если хочешь что-то необычного, то Metropolis pt.2(pt.1 не существует) от Dream Theater, или Leviathan от Mastodon. Если пожоще, то Death - Symbolic и Death - The Sound Sound Of Perseverance, самое жесткое - Converge - Jane Doe если полегче, чем WASP, то American Idiot от Green Day или Superunknown от Soundgarden. Потом когда все послушаешь могу еще альбомов подкинуть
Never mind the lyrics This video is amazing.The guy who plays Charlie looks like a cross between Lee Majors and Doc Mcghee and Jonathan looks like an 80s rockstar.This takes me back to the 80s apart from the fact Blackie is a genius
Blackie's voice is just as intense, but evil corporate Charlie that doesnt swear is very saturday morning villainy. Restore the lyrics and holy cow i wouldn't have guessed this was made so many years after
One of the best songs ever written, they couldn't write other songs as good as this. Oh and needless intro. Interestingly, this Charlie guy angered Blackie enough to make him write a masterpiece.
Love it! The new lyrics will take some getting used to, but I still like it. Blackies voice is amazing... and I'm glad he can still do what he loves. God bless Blackie... wishing you many more healthy, happy and ROCKIN years.-Milena
I actually dont mind the changed in lyrics, but when I blasting this and if i decide to choose this one, I will scream the original because I love those lyrics
No idea why this songs isn't on the top list for WASP. Great storytelling, deep meaning lyrics, amazing solo & chorus, etc. I'm not a WASP fan but this is their only song that wowed me
you're not into wasp so you want to tell wasp fans what to listen? hm, interesting, it's a bit like not being a drinker and wanting to teach a drunkard what's the best wine.
Sounds good, but the original was better i think, and the censored politically correct lyrics didnt do it any favors. But stil good, but original is better in my opinion
Nothing to do with being PC, Blackie turned all Born Again Christian and is now pretending he's some clean, nice artist. Fucking religion once again messing up the good things.
Lets face it, if there's nothing wrong with the original, don't mess with it! And the original was great. Re-recording it, its certain to lose its bite!
I listened to the original version to see what was the difference and honestly despite original version having a better intro I like this one better because it’s much clearer so you can really hear the legendary drumming. And yes I know the lyrics are changed but really all that was changed was the removal of cussing, not really something to get all uppity about.
The original drummer is not in this track frakie bannali died before this was made i belive the new drummer used some of his sample drum track when they recorded this.
Great Job....Come Back To Indy On This Tour Guys, You Rocked The Vogue...Neon God Tour, Front Row....Blackie I one of my favorite lyricist ever!!! Great job on the word play, very intelligent!!! Happy It Finally Released!!!
Can we not dwell on the altered lyrics and appreciate the fact that this song has been given an amazing new breath of life? The new album is absolutely incredible!!!
@Jonathan Williams This song came from the concept album "The Crimson Idol" and the video complements the story. There was a whole narrated movie btw.
@eyehateyou731successfully so I would have to say. BLACKIE has the best Rock-n-Roll cadence? Not sure the word I'm looking for but generally the fucking best of everything Heavy Metal as well as the stories sync pretty good too. Best story tellers imo

this sounds better than the original. even with the altered lyrics. in my opinion, i prefer these lyrics. the old version made me cringe because it felt like blackie wanted to sound like a wannabe tough guy. cant wait to buy the album
People change, perspectives change...lyrics change... the world has changed. This is glorious - and hoping for a US tour...Thank you for posting this, Napalm!
Larry Baumgardner ah yes... I am aware... hope being synonymous with doubt ⚡️ but his long time fans are in “the bucket list” age range 😜 so ... hopeful but no breath-holding... Much Love
What sucks is seeing the pix and videos that come out of Europe as he packs up and heads there for Festival Season every year as he flips America the bird,,,At first (just from me and my opinion) it was annoying,,Now it has almost become a solid "Piss Off Blackie"
Larry Baumgardner I do see his point - from personal experience I can say that being treated like a shitty bar band on home soil makes the whole thing not worth the effort. I get it, but for those of us who are dedicated WASP fans, it sure would be nice...
The Crimson Idol is quite literally one of my all time favorite albums, easily in my top 3 across albums by any other band I can name. That being said, the sound here just doesn't have the same punch, especially the drums. It's all very thin and compressed. And I don't care that he changed the lyrics, I care that he changed them to sound kind of stupid, like a 10 year old thought of them. All that aside though, I saw the new tracks added and I noticed that "Phantoms in the Mirror" and "The Eulogy" from the previous re-release of the original album were not remade as well when he stated at the time that those were also missing songs meant to be on the record. Makes me wonder as to the reason for their exclusion. Maybe in total the running time would have been too long? Or maybe he didn't feel the need for them or could settle on where they should really go in the song order?
La mejor canción de WASP de toda su discografía.... y paradojicamente, no estaban en aquel momentos dos titanes de la banda como Johnny Rod ni Chris Holmes. Los solos de Bob Kulick en esta canción son de otra galaxia a 3000 años luz....
Hopefully he have not seen the movie. Cause a movie where people get killed by a chainsaw and a guy kills himself by guitar strings is not for 7 year olds
there's complaints about the altered lyrics and whatnot, but i couldn't care less honestly the drums sound punchier the guitars are crisp and beautiful. and sweet jesus Blackie Lawless has a timeless voice he sounds spectacular.
Watched the movie from the reidolized version during a cold night just before Xmas, it's been quite a surreal experience. I grew up listening to the original version which I do prefer, but Blackie is always the best!
The sound is a lot more polished than the original, going to take a bit of time to get used to it cause I dig the dirty rock n rollah but I actually like what I'm hearing so far. Pity the profanity has been cut. I reckon we're gonna dig the shit outa this though
Parts of the production sound stellar. I'm not upset that the lyrics were changed, and I understand and support the reasoning, but I'm disappointed to what they were changed to. Blackie is my main influence as a song writer. But I genuinely feel that he could have done much better with coming up with alternate lyrics."scum sucking" "maggots" works perfectly, but "ratshole" "lying little monster" (at least I think that's what he says)? sound sloppy and shoddily thrown in. I honestly believe Blackie could have done better. The video is lame, but the album as a whole is good. Though, the original holds a special place in my heart and I truly believe this new album is lacking that special intangible something that we hear 25 years ago.
here's proof a hardcore megalomaniac can accept BIG BROTHER JESUS into his heart and life and not turn his back on playing music we love to hear...it's a different yet great turn and change..wish Chris Holmes would be beside him and accept the Lord
Oh man I love it! It's sounds cleaner Mike's bass rocks! It's faster and it how the song should have sounded originally.Who cares about changed lyrics and Blackies religious beliefs? Golgotha was momentous. This carries on from that. Well done guys! I frickin love ya!
Saw W.A.S.P. open for Maiden on the Powerslave tour. Great job to Blackie for keeping his band going. Still sounds killer!!
L Lopez you're old LIKE me lol
Damn thats a hell of a duo. I always said Wasp was incorrectly lumped with Glam. They were much closer to an American contemporary to Maiden or Priest.
Every one there came to see wasp ,and left before maiden started playing
I like the the tighter sound and that snare sounds great. Love the bass as well. But I'd take Frankie's original drum performance over this one. This new one just doesn't have that intensity that Frankie brought on the original. The new lyrics are good but the original was raw and I felt the anger that Blackie was conveying in the first recording. Bassed on this single I think I'll stick to the original.
The Crimson Idol is a great concept album.
Lyrics feel like a downshift :(
RIP Frankie
One of my favorite albums ever, it's a masterpiece. 🤘
Blackie is one hell of a composer and artist so under estimated talent
Was it Crimson Idol . cause i cant remember. I had this somewhere in my tapes.
Never the same when a band re record old tunes especially when it's different musicians and altered lyrics
I thought I was imagining things, I remembered it sounding better than this.
Yeah what a bunch of maggots
Maybe the lyrics did change in order to be "legal" for tv because of the clip..
@@fkontos686 Blackie's a christian now which is why he changed the lyrics.
Almost 30 years have passed, but when I listen to this song I have an adrenaline rush like the first time I listened to it. Great Blackie!
BLACKIE is for sure my favorite singer / story writer in all of ROCK
so
ROCK ON.🤘🏻🤘🏻😎😎
YES !
Yeaaaahhhhh!!!!!)))
I’ve named one of my cats Blackie after Blackie Lawless!!

Not of fan of the lyric changes....
They change and the music too
Who asked you?
Obviously it had to be changed for Mtv or whoever
@@antimurphy8212 obviously it still sucks
@@antimurphy8212 Actually, Blackie changed them due to his renewed Christian beliefs. The same reason he no longer plays Animal
They only made about 5% of record sales.
this sounds better than the original. even with the altered lyrics. in my opinion, i prefer these lyrics. the old version made me cringe because it felt like blackie wanted to sound like a wannabe tough guy. cant wait to buy the album
the great group !!!!!
Эту вещь слушал в 1994 году. как это было давно...
The Original version is better! Fantastic song!
Это будет звучать вечно!!!!!
Still gives me an adrenaline surge and goose bumps at the same time😁😁👍👍🤘🤘🖖🖖
People change, perspectives change...lyrics change... the world has changed. This is glorious - and hoping for a US tour...Thank you for posting this, Napalm!
Dont hold your breath,,,,Blackie hasnt done a real American tour since 04,
Larry Baumgardner ah yes... I am aware... hope being synonymous with doubt ⚡️ but his long time fans are in “the bucket list” age range 😜 so ... hopeful but no breath-holding... Much Love
What sucks is seeing the pix and videos that come out of Europe as he packs up and heads there for Festival Season every year as he flips America the bird,,,At first (just from me and my opinion) it was annoying,,Now it has almost become a solid "Piss Off Blackie"
Larry Baumgardner I do see his point - from personal experience I can say that being treated like a shitty bar band on home soil makes the whole thing not worth the effort. I get it, but for those of us who are dedicated WASP fans, it sure would be nice...
Larry Baumgardner but I agree it sucks seeing the shows and goodness of the Festivals. None of my favorite bands play in the states... 🤯🤬
This is pretty impressive. Wow, I dig it. Well done (re-done) Blackie....
The Crimson Idol is quite literally one of my all time favorite albums, easily in my top 3 across albums by any other band I can name. That being said, the sound here just doesn't have the same punch, especially the drums. It's all very thin and compressed. And I don't care that he changed the lyrics, I care that he changed them to sound kind of stupid, like a 10 year old thought of them.
All that aside though, I saw the new tracks added and I noticed that "Phantoms in the Mirror" and "The Eulogy" from the previous re-release of the original album were not remade as well when he stated at the time that those were also missing songs meant to be on the record. Makes me wonder as to the reason for their exclusion. Maybe in total the running time would have been too long? Or maybe he didn't feel the need for them or could settle on where they should really go in the song order?
"The Eulogy" is a masterpiece. Without it, I'll stick to the original.
cant get this song outta my head looove it!
La mejor canción de WASP de toda su discografía.... y paradojicamente, no estaban en aquel momentos dos titanes de la banda como Johnny Rod ni Chris Holmes. Los solos de Bob Kulick en esta canción son de otra galaxia a 3000 años luz....
Well, at least my seven year old can listen to it. He likes the Golgotha album and some classics.
Hopefully he have not seen the movie. Cause a movie where people get killed by a chainsaw and a guy kills himself by guitar strings is not for 7 year olds
Fully agree
Adrenaline rush
Wasp nunca decepciona 🤘🏻
Absolutely right
Esse clip censurado decepcionou muito.
🤘🖤
there's complaints about the altered lyrics and whatnot, but i couldn't care less honestly the drums sound punchier the guitars are crisp and beautiful. and sweet jesus Blackie Lawless has a timeless voice he sounds spectacular.
Not bad, but the original sounds better.
Religion is a hell of a drug
@@christianfowler2639 either that or a virus.
Wasn't this Murders in the Rue Morgue? What is this song?
@@thewinterland, it is.
Original is more raw
Watched the movie from the reidolized version during a cold night just before Xmas, it's been quite a surreal experience. I grew up listening to the original version which I do prefer, but Blackie is always the best!
Супер!!! Это на века!!!
The sound is a lot more polished than the original, going to take a bit of time to get used to it cause I dig the dirty rock n rollah but I actually like what I'm hearing so far. Pity the profanity has been cut. I reckon we're gonna dig the shit outa this though
Epic
Das absolute Hammer Video und super Sound 💥⚡⚡✨🎸
Classic
Rifts are awesome
Charlie is still riding the chainsaw in 2019
2043 . Wasp n.1 .
......and still in 2020 🤟
Parts of the production sound stellar. I'm not upset that the lyrics were changed, and I understand and support the reasoning, but I'm disappointed to what they were changed to. Blackie is my main influence as a song writer. But I genuinely feel that he could have done much better with coming up with alternate lyrics."scum sucking" "maggots" works perfectly, but "ratshole" "lying little monster" (at least I think that's what he says)? sound sloppy and shoddily thrown in. I honestly believe Blackie could have done better. The video is lame, but the album as a whole is good. Though, the original holds a special place in my heart and I truly believe this new album is lacking that special intangible something that we hear 25 years ago.
Love the song but what's with the lyrics changing?
One of the best song of WASP!
Drumming Is amazing on this one
His voice sounds great but this has NOTHING on the original and the new lyrics are absolutely terrible
Why because Blackie took out the Cursing?
Not bieng smart bro
It’s almost the same
There more than terrible there pure SHIT!!!!!
here's proof a hardcore megalomaniac can accept BIG BROTHER JESUS into his heart and life and not turn his back on playing music we love to hear...it's a different yet great turn and change..wish Chris Holmes would be beside him and accept the Lord
my first live concert was WASP in the mid 80's in Cascais. Portugal, man i got seriously stoned !!!! memories.....
He owns the intellectual property of the song, he can do what he likes. Still a big fan
Oh man I love it! It's sounds cleaner Mike's bass rocks! It's faster and it how the song should have sounded originally.Who cares about changed lyrics and Blackies religious beliefs? Golgotha was momentous. This carries on from that. Well done guys! I frickin love ya!
This is a really great album.🌌🌌👏👏👍👍👍 Danke
Big fan.
Здесь есть тема креста постоянно 😨.
The best fucking song of the world!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
