I cannot put it better. I don't wanna push this album on people, but I just feel like if you haven't listened to it 100 times, you missed out on something.
Everytime i feel pain in my hurt.. that album makes it bigger! I find so many sad similarities of my self with the life of Jonathan, and his missguided youth... I throw away my best years of my life trying to catch un uncatchable musicians dream, a big society's lie. Always having a sad shadowed fathers figure behind my eyes and my decisions. Fortunatelly now im clean, but my soul might never recover.
Thanks . That comment was about a year ago when I lost my father. But I got thru it in the end and am at peace with it now. Blackie's music really helped me . I've been a fan for many years. Since the eightys in fact. I was a schoolboy when I first heard w.a.s.p. loved it then and still love it now.
I dont usually go into this account anymore since to be honest i got burnt out after doing these videos and the maiden bootlegs for few years back to back so sadly i didnt see this comment at first Its interesting when music helps to heal. First hand too with lockdown with a death in the family with covid and a few things
Music has been the one constant great in my life. Weather im playing or listening it connects to my soul emotionally. Awsome. Thanks so much for your kind comments. I hope your life may be good to you
So, it would happen to be that my older brother, Clayton ( Q ).. Was born first, I was told by my family that my grandmother died before I was born.. My mother always seemed cold to me, not knowing quite why I would find out that, my grandmother actually died with in a week of me being born.. My grandpa told me later that, he thought the reason why she treated, me and my brother different.. She saw him ( Q ) as trying to comfort her.. An me a crying baby as not allowing her to grieve.. An would always associate my birth with her mother's death.. Being born, with nose bleeds.. Some time she would neglect me.. Thank goodness my grandpa would show up from time to time.. He would take me home and clean me up.. Before they moved to another state, I guess he had told my mom, & dad not to take me if they couldn't love me.. Well, they did, I would grow up really a loner most of the time.. My father being raised roughly , and joining the Marines, and serving Vietnam.. Made him not much better, I often felt.. Like, I was in the way especially when my so-called older brother would act like a jerk to me which was quite a bit.. I did my best to.. Not let it get to me.. As ah adult now, I'm happy to say, I've gotten past a lot of it now.. I'll admit it took a while I'm not telling this as a boohoo and I know there are people who still have a worse than I do showing you all that I remain humble I like to think I have good morals despite all that.. My point is I can relate to the story I do not associate myself with it in a weird way nobody's making me shoot anybody hurt anybody or be mean to others myself.. In other words, you can not blame music, you either hold on to your morals or you don't.. So, peace and love everyone.. Thank you, BLACKIE LAWLESS.. I however do enjoy your wonderful music..

When I went out on a european tour with my band the first time in a nightliner bus, I asked the bus driver which was the last band he drove in this particular bus. Turned out it was WASP. So cool. I farted into the same bunk as Blackie Lawless.
I came home from school one day to find my CD player open, and this CD in 12 pieces on the desk. My newly born again Christian father had snooped my room, and on finding this CD in the player, deemed it "evil" and "demonic", and proceeded to take the tin cutters to it. I dont relate to Johnny at all...😐❗ He threatened to take the axe to my strat copy another time. I became a life long rocker! Funny how that works!
*21:32** So beautiful.. my Mother fell in love with Blackie & W.A.S.P ever since she* *heard me listening to Wild Child, and I can tell why Blackie's voice & music always* *touches her.*
I Am One is such a fucking awesome metal song. Everything right about metal on that and Chainsaw Charlie. This entire album rules and is my favorite of WASP's long discography
Not only is this a brilliant album lyrically and musically, but with references to Bukowski, Shakespeare, O’Rourke, and Poe it reveals the intellectual and philosophical depths of Blackie Lawless.
Большое тебе СПАСИБО за этот альбом что ты загрузил себе на канал и даёшь нам возможность его слушать и скачивать! Эти мелодии моей молодости, они надыхали мене жити та творити в 15 лет свой жизни!
31 ans que j ecoute cette album. et un peu plus que j'écoute wasp. je me souviens que des l'annonce de cette album, j'avais qu une hâte, c'étais de l acheter. une fois le saint graal obtenu , la cassette est allé au paradis des cassettes ( eh oui, la bande son, n'etais pas assez solide vu que ca tournée en boucle 24/24). et je pourrais en parler pendant des heures. on est le 14/08/2023, 10h00, et je l'ecoute.
Antes no me gustaba la música en inglés ahora solo me gusta la música en inglés y wasp creo que es el mejor grupo me tiene tan enganchado que no paro de escucharlo me relaja ojala supiese el inglés Salud y libertad
J'écoute par curiosité et là, agréablement surpris,album aboutit. Wasp ,blackie a marqué une époque. J'ai écouté plus jeune et je suis content de voir qu'ils sont toujours dans le circuit.
