Chris Holmes - W.A.S.P. - Sleeping In The Fire - Bannermans Bar - Edinburgh - 28/09/2016 

This sure took me by surprise. Didn't know he had another vocalist/guitarist in the band. The singer really stays true to the original and hits those crazy high notes and goes on to shred some guitar, too. Chris still has his own unique style and plays it well.

This shit is raw!!! I see there are some haters out there, but this version was good!

Wow the vocals! Chris is 100% attitude, just how we like em!

So raw and such awesome camera angle on Chris playing this solo. He is so under rated! Love this song!

Props to the drummer being able to perform with one square inch of working space.

Singer does this killer song justice...powerful and beautiful

Blackbeard nails them vocals. Gave me chills. Not too shabby at all....

This was real good. One of Wasps best.. Awesome to see Chris playing.. He's still got it! \m/

Chris Homes I love you man I wish you well.God bless Chris Homes!

This video shows how difficult it is to fill Blackie's shoes. One of the best performer ever.

I've been lucky enough to see Chris play this live twice both times was bloody amazing and awesome 😊😊

Just amazing..We NEED to put respect and admiration to the guy next to Chris...Whoever knows lets make it fair here...Respect and soul above all...

Many thanks for putting this up.Oh my lord ! 80's were just the best !

Awesome... Great vocal... The band rocked this shit!! One of my favorite tunes from forever.... Love the guitar CH.... One humbucker... One volume... All balls no bullshit!! Sums up you as an artist man!! Well done!!

1985 i seen WASP open for KISS animalize tour. Still have my ticket stubs 🤘 That concert kicked some ass man. Holy Fucken young then that was a long time and a thousand concerts later I’m still kicking. 🤘🎸🤘

Those are the Randy Piper solos!! Killer!! Chris Holmes is back!! He's gotta keep this singer n' keep it going!

Oh DAMN!!!! I grew up with, and thrive on, the 80's metal ballads and arena rock. Sure the NWOBHM was all muddled in with L.A. Glam Rock/Hair Metal or what have you (Poison, Motely et al), now it's a hodgepodge of Black metal, Death Metal, Progressive metal and so on. This is undeniably just brilliant rock/metal, through and through. The epitome of arena rock, absolutely as classic as it gets. No matter how you choose to classify it, it is simply incredible. What a song! Thanks for taking part in my life! ....oh, did I say I liked it too? :D

Fuck that sounded awesome! Man would I love to see Chris Holmes in concert.

Always loved this song! One of the most underrated metal song of all time.

Chris Holmes loves to play and it shows! God Bless You man! Great band too.

The reason I love Chris Holmes is he thinks the most important parts of the song are what he contributes. And I agree.

Finally.... been waiting on Chris to do and play like I know he can.. I believe we are going to see some good music from Mean Man.

One of my favourite songs and this version is musically perfect. The only thing it misses is the madness of Blackie. I mean, he is a real great artist, singer and musician - maybe one of the greatest living today - but you may not want his abilities.

My name is Mike, I saw WASP back in 1984 with quiet riot, WASP blew them off stage and I believe Chris is the best guitarist they've ever had, seen the show in my former home town of Augusta,Ga.

This is incredible to here live again!!! You go Chris!!!!🙂

This is a good lineup and you can see that Chris still has the fire burning in his soul.

Wow! Pure emotion! Love it!

Cool. Thanks for posting.

that was great. singer has some good pipes.

the BEST version of 'sleeping in the fire' I have ever seen. The one from Live in the Raw is second best

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS!! I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF WASP SINCE I HEARD " FUCK LIKE A BEAST" I have seen them 3 times in the 80's and '90s.

W.A.S.P. cant play this song without Chris! its fully Chris's solo

Proper metal, the singer guy is awesome.... and Chris is just total legend

It is very hard to sing like Blackie Lawless, almost impossible, and this video proves just how much better a singer Blackie is than 99% of singers in the game. -the ghoul

most of us feel with Chris , and want him to make a living of what he have started ,

Excellent!!! Keep rockin' Chris.

That was amazing!

METAL WILL NEVER DIE !

Excellent version!!!!!!

Always loved his tone...raw and simple....one pickup guitar thru a Marshall and turned up loud.

Magic solo!

Hooray!!!!! Mr. Holmes looks happy!

My god that is truly epic!

La mejor versión de esta atemporal canción que escuche, siendo un fan de W.a.s.P de toda la vida, reconozco que la voz del cantante es increíble y lo hace realmente bien.

Awesome! Blackbeard - Well done! That's exactly the thing that I wanted.

goosebumps running! it's great !!!!

This is awesome to the core.

That singer sounds like Tim Baker from Cirith Ungol singing WASP. That was pretty cool

Chris Holmes is still a kick ass guitarist!

Chris Holmes still got it. Great job by vato singing!

Magnifique!!!

Smok'in Chris!! The singer has got the vibe down and good licks.

Sois muy grandes mejor musica y mejores musicos imposible. Las bandas grandes no suenan de esta forma tan autentica.

I enjoyed that & am happy that Chris has got a band that can put on a good show but anyone that thinks it is better than any era of W.A.S.P needs help.

Love you Chris!

Wow, the singer pulled it off incredibly well! Great job, people!
