Sweet!
I think I’ll pick up his CD. I’m willing to support anyone willing to nail the ‘rats, socialists, and fascists to the wall like that. Heck, I need some new workout music - I like hard rock for free weights, and from the pictures this guy’s music probably fits the bill.
I still have their first two cassettes and play them from time to time. “Blind in Texas” is still one of my favs. Kudos to him for telling it like it is. I may have to check this new CD out.
Damn, he sounds like me.
His thinking is superb. His music is very good. His Goth shtick - eh.
But I'll defend to the death his right to have disgusting stage props, since he seems to be the kind of guy who will defend to the death my right to call them disgusting. For a guy named Lawless, he seems to be one of the very few who understands true law (which means his name is probably a protest against false law).
He'd probably be a great neighbor.
I don't think he gave it that much thought back in the early 80's.LOL! His band, W.A.S.P. was attacked by Tipper Gore in the mid 80's and his distaste for the Rats began at that point.
A lot of metalheads tend to have a conservative/libertarian viewpoint. A little over a year ago I was at a death metal concert, where during the break between bands some were having a discussion ripping George Soros and ACORN. Tim Owens of Iced Earth has some choice words for Noam Chomsky.
He sounds far more literate and articulate than some libs like Jimmy Buffett, Springsteen or David Crosby.
Crosby was nothing in The Byrds. The fat kid they hid in a poncho who could sing decent harmony. Roger aka Jim McGuinn was the band along with the other singer and Chris Hillman.
Bump
Never heard of him or his band, but the interview is good and the guy has a very good BS detector, unlike lots of other rock musicians.
Rock, be rocked, or step aside bleeding heart liberals!
True, but what was KISS afterall, but a rediculous image accompanied but some really great mainstream music?
I was a huge fan of WASP back in 8th grade in ‘84. Didn’t know they still existed. Good for him to speak up. Carries about as much weight as Marylin Manson. But, its good to hear from our long lost heavy metal friends.
I remember listening to Blackie with W.A.S.P. back in HS and School Daze was another hit song along with F**k Like A Beast, Wild Child and L.O.V.E. Machine.
Sounds like we’re exactly the same age then. Makes sense. How else would I know who Blackie Lawless is.?? :P
Yeah man. It was WASP that was cool in my circle of friends. Was is WASP that yelled “eat the rich, life is a bitch”.
I don’t know. I’m lucky at this point to remember what I ate yesterday.
Good ol days of Twisted Sister, Malmsteen, Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, are gone. I hope not. I love metal and what those musicians present.
I’ll get his CD. Thanks for the post!
