Johnny Rod (King Kobra / ex. W.A.S.P.) Interview - Saint-Louis 2017 - Duke TV [FR-DE-ES-IT-RU Subs] 

Johnny has "crazy ass uncle" written all over him. I bet he's a blast to hang out with and talk about rock stories.

He should be in a bigger band. He’s still got a ton of energy, he’s a very underrated bass player and he’s got great backing vocals.

This guy is a legend. A real, genuine nice guy who loves his music.

Such a likeable character.

"It's not W.A.S.P. any more. It's the Blackie Lawless show." Ya know, I have to agree with him. They're playing the same "music" but it's not the same sound or the same soul. Gotta love his character, "We're old, let it go, let bygone's be bygones." ie: make the most of the time you have in this life, and don't take yourself so seriously. Love it.

The world needs more bass players like Johny Rod. He is a great guy too

How not to love this guy???? He's still real after an eternity!!!! Respect john Rod!!!

I always thought he was very underrated as a bass player, and that canary yellow B.C. Rich Ironbird bass he played back in the day was one very cool instrument.

I cannot see any band, with this guy in it, failing, period! He's that "dude" who loses track of time, wakes up "after a long tour" and it's 30 yrs. later! He's everything an 80's era rock star should be 30 years later...... He's so positive, I say give em a reality show, driving an ice cream truck, and playing gigs at night! I would love to go fishing with him, or just hang out for a day. IDK how I wound up watching this, but I'm happy I did!

Don't make em like they use to. Sincere dude who personifies the energy and character of the eighties rock scene.

He still got that killer Johhny Rod look in his eyes. This man is a legend, should be hailed as Nikki Sixx or Rudy Sarzo. Johnny was part of the 80's bass attack along with Sarzo, Juan Croucier.

How can you not like this guy! lol

It would be great to have Johnny back in W.A.S.P.

He's forever young, and that keeps him alive.

You just have to love this crazy old boy . I love this interview so much. He have still his youthful spirit 😀

Johnny Rod is true heavy metal. He has an amazing voice as well. Glad to see him using it.

Back again in 2019 :) I friggin love this guy. A real, original rocker.

Songwriters best friend, understands to play for the song, perfection!

Johnny is hyped up. Could you imagine being in a cross country road trip with Johnny and CC DeVille? 😳

That's a real musician

You're awesome, Johnny. Your singing is great too.

Johnny Rod is still nuts!! Haha! RockStar 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Some peopel just make you happy. Johnny Rod make me happy. Energic,funny,happy and really care abaut the fans👍

This dude is a legend! Old but, still having much fun!

What a fucking great guy. Saw him first time in the eighties in Zürich, great show cool guy live long and keep on rockin'

Johnny you are awesome! Keep the momentum. I miss seeing you guys!

This guy is awesomely nuts!

Coo to see Johnny rod still rocking, reunion be badass.....

Hes fucking brilliant!! WASP was at another level with this Wildman.

The 86 KISS/King Kobra tour was my first concert April fools day Bethelhem Pennsylvania Stabler Arena, I was 8 years old.

W.A.S.P need you back man Awesome 🤘🤘🤘

How cool would it be to have Johnny, Holmes and Riley back in Wasp. Epic, just epic. Life is too short.

Cool man! I would like to attend a concert with his participation and listen to his stories from the 80s.

Excellent interview, honest and real, a true rock star, talks straight with plenty of energy and passion, and a bloody great bass player....W.A.S.P are my fav band ever, and he was one of the originals...I once messaged him on Twitter, and he replied immediately....Love the guy.

Johnny Rod is correct to say that it's not WASP anymore. It's the Blackie Lawless show. I'm glad he has a positive attitude

It Would be amazing to see a reunion sometime johnny rods bass rocks.

If you notice, he got the WASP logo on shoulder. Johnny rod for me was a big part of the show Up until his departure sometime after the Crimson Idol tour ended, I hope before WASP calls it quits,Chris, Blackie & Jonny play a show together

Johnny you are awesome dude you wood be a blast to hing out with. I miss you being with W.AS.P.

I love Johnny Rod. He is straight up and honest. I met this guy at The Marquee Club in London at a ‘secret’ W.A.S.P. show two nights before their 1992 Donnington Monsters of Rock show, and he was the best famous guy ever, where most famous people can be douchebags when you meet them, but Johnny Rod stayed with my friend and I and we sat on the stage together and talked and got photo’s too, and he was so super cool and so friendly and naturally funny too, it was the best experience of our lives, and we left the show happier even than after the Donnington show.

When did Johnny Rod turn into Mikkey Dee?

Love Johnny Rod. Great energy! Would love to see him play with Chris now. YES WASP should do a reunion.

Johnny seems really nice. Great attitude. I was a wasp fan. Still am

Johnny is fucking great, loved King Kobra when Ready to Strike came out I was cranking it up around the clock for months. So glad I got to see him live with WASP in Germany opening for Iron Maiden. Got to live the greatest days of music and not deal with the garbage we have to hear today.

Love this guy. Cheers!!

You are the best johnny! !!

Energy. Intensity. Blackie handed over the bass to the right guy 🍺

Johnny you are my best Wasp member ever!

This dude is so eccentric and fuckin high on life. I love it

I genuinely like this dude💪

I love his energy. He has been on so.e great albums. I love King Kobra and WASP.

I love this guy!!!!! He is doing it right

Saw him with King Kobra opening for Queensryche at the Hollywood Palladium in 1985. One of the best shows I ever went to. King Kobra was awesome. So was Queensryche, they played the entire Warning album as well as the EP.

Johnny is a great bass player and Chris Holmes is a talented guitarist I would love to see W.A.S.P with them and Steve Riley on drums it would be the best band live. I know because I seen the Electric Circus tour and it was rockin'

What a character, love to have a beer with this guy.

The “reunion” sounds like a splendid idea!!

I love his attitude, Johnny Rod is the bomb !!

Wow what a legend!!! loved the energy n grit n stage presence he bought to w.a.s.p. ! This guy is the reason I started playing bass guitar in the first place ... 🎸saw em live in 2011 just wish I’d seen em back when lawless,holmes,rod n Riley was the line up 😔.....

He's wearing a Chris Holmes shirt.

Cool interview. Johnny Rod is a trip so much energy and genuine love of music likable guy for sure. I would also love to see a W.A.S.P. show again with Johnny and Chris.

He seems like a cool guy

Always knew this guy was awesome!

That was great. Always loved ELECTRIC CIRCUS. Seems like a fun nice fella

Yea would love to that W.A.S.P re union.

He's got great enthusiasm and is a real rocker.👌

Love the attitude and energy this guy brings. Seems like the kinda guy you could hang with, have a few beers, and have a great time.

He played on WASP's 'Headless Children"..one of my top 20 all time fav metal albums.

OMG! It just hit me that he's wearing a Chris Holmes t-shirt! What a great guy!

One of the best bass players through all the years. And hear what he says: It is the truth. What a cool guy you are, Johnny ! Genuine funny and energetic ... only intelligent beings have that !

A wasp reunion with Jonny and Chris in the line up would be massive.. they would fill every arena around. This needs to become a reality.

such an enthusiasm for life! what else is there? that's great

Johnny Rod needs his own documentary.

Johnny's backing vocals on #HEADLESS still sounds awesome in 2017 #WTG \m/

I LOVE IT! I got to meet Johny Rod back stage at a concert when he was in King Kobra years ago in Columbus, OH. He was a rock star back then and still today!

What a cool guy :) Someone I would totally enjoy hanging out with. Appreciate you Johnny :) Chris Pelletier in Philly .

Man,I love Johnny Rod.

Great interview I'm glad to see he's doing great and a reunion would be awesome I posted this on my Blackie Lawless Facebook fanpage 116,000 followers

Johnny still the man

W.A.S.P. will always be no. 1 band of all time, LOVE johnny rod. God BLESS THEM.

Johnny is so enthusiastic & totally bonkers at the same time... a wasp reunion would be great but seems unlikely to happen as Chris Holmes already said he wouldn't ever go back...

What a great interview I always wondered what happened to him

This guy nails it in the 1st minute.....Awesome

Hey Johnny Rod... Saw you Live in Hays ks in 85 when u were in King Kobra... Holy Cow I loved Ready to Strike and still do.. In my CD player right now..you all opened for Autograph.. What a great concert..CHEERS..

Johnny was one of the wildest bass players I ever saw live. Monster bass player.

Love this guy, his enthusiasm is infectious.

Mega cool guy !

best interview of anybody ever ! this guy's energy is contageous!

I love these kind of musicians. They are so real. They are like blue collar types. These guys had a real work ethic. Had a blast making this music.

This dude rules.

WASP should for sure do a finally gig and tour every major city in the world.

I'd love to sit and listen to Johnny and Ace Frehley joke around. Their laughs are contagious!

I THINK WE SHOULD SEE ALL THE MEMBERS COME TOGETHER , IT IS COOL JOHNNY ROD.

What can I say that hasn't been said in the comments already? Love these old rockers..and would love to hear some of the stories they have to tell

That’s awesome!

I knew him back in the early 80's with King Kobra and he hasn't changed a bit. Still a helluva lot of fun to hang out with. 😄

I hope they will reunite The dude is a fucking legend

That was great! Luv the Energy....\m/

One amazing musician full of energy

Great picks of KISS i hadnt seen!!!!

That Donington Monsters of Rock, I think in 91 or 92 is still the coolest clip of Wasp I´ve ever seen,,,

He suggested to blackie that they reunite, then tries to convince him by playing a song that Blackie will no longer play. Lmao
