"W.A.S.P. is everything your mother fears about heavy metal - the giant leap beyond leather, studs, codpieces and armbands, W.A.S.P. is four musical giants (literally , with an average height of 6'4" ) who command the stage, bare-assed and bad-assed, slinging meat to the masses and drinking blood from a skull. (And this is only the beginning!, unusual instruments of fun and torture - both medieval and modern - can only be mentioned in hushed tones.)"
...says in the back of an official photo collectible of W.A.S.P. in those years when Blackie Lawless, Chris Holmes, Steve Riley & Randy Piper joined forces to be the most outrageous band in the world at that time... 25 years later what can I say... for me Blackie Lawless is a lyrical genius, a man with an incredible ability to capture in words the feelings, that gave us amazing material like The Crimson Idol, and many more that have marked my life, one messenger of the modern era, the man I consider my mentor & example, who made the soundtrack of my life, forever Blackie... forever free...
