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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

W.A.S.P.'s upcoming new album, Babylon, is themed around biblical visions of the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse -- because Blackie reckons "our so-called world leaders are on a mission to march people straight into hell"... "It's no secret that I wasn't Bush fan, neither Bush No.1 nor Bush No.2. In general, I don't trust politicians. But when this supposed global meltdown was happening a year ago and I saw all these world leaders calling for a one-world government, a one-world system and a one-world currency, I thought to myself: "They gotta be kidding." I mean, do these guys understand what they're talking about? I don't think that they do... Freeing that Libyan bomber was a despicable act." ... "You were a supporter of John McCain during the US presidential election campaign." "By default... I was very, very critical of Obama during the campaign. I wrote a long letter and I sent it out to all the press the night before the election. I pulled no punches with this guy because I had really done quite a bit of research on him while the election was going on. He's one of these old-time 60s radicals from way back. He thinks he's going to change the world and he's hell-bent on doing that. When he stood there the night of the nomination and he said that he intended on "fundamentally changing" America -- a chill ran down my back. Thousands of people were just standing there, wildly applauding, and it reminded me of Hitler standing on the steps of the Reichstag."Still, showbiz folks need to shut up more.
He comes off pretty impressive here, as well.
