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.
True, but what was KISS afterall, but a rediculous image accompanied but some really great mainstream music?
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.
