Chris Holmes Documentary

[Mr. Willy]

I always viewed WASP as in the same ballpark as Twisted Sister, but better. Both bands were more interesting to me as a spectacle rather than a band with great music.

What??!! There was a Goonies 2?!!!! How the hell did j not know that when I am a kid of the 80's? Or maybe I saw it and it sucked. Also possible.

yeah most likely sucked compared to the first one .... The scream video is awesome though

They were big like 85'-86' timeframe. Their "peak" was probably 86' when "Blind in Texas" came out, etc. They didn't maintain it though like other bands. Ratt, Crue, etc. kept rising.

They were a bit heavier so it wasn't something the girls in our class were kicking back and listening to. No ballads.

No Ballads they had ballads on every album, it is just they never released them as singles until their 4th album from memory

Yeah, I think you are right. Definitely wasn't a Skid Row or Steelheart vibe but they did.

The crazy thing is that Twisted Sister's "Hits" were not their best songs in my opinion. "Stay Hungry" and "Burn in Hell" were better songs and I actually like their earlier stuff.

Gun to my head, I couldn't name a single WASP song to save my life.


I am familiar with Chris Holmes shenanigans though. My favorite was when he was trying to sell his disgusting ratted out Trans Am lmfao

Holy crap!! Me and my buddies used to read all of the guitar magazines and metal magazines like RIP, Hit Parader, Circus, etc. Back then I could tell people nearly everything about a band. I honestly wasn't the biggest W.A.S.P. fan but my buddies would keep playing certain songs and got hooked to a bunch of them.

[romanianreaper]

LOL, Goonies 2. Oh shit. No wonder people were flipping out. LOL!!

I had no idea they were ever big anywhere. I lived in Germany for a while in 1988 and 1991-92. I hung out with lots of metalheads and am sure none ever mentioned WASP to me.

LOL, I left in 88'!

WASP made the mistake of having Slayer open for them in 1987. Slayer was promoting Reign in Blood at the time. The tour was notorious for Slayer fans sticking around to boo the hell out of WASP lol They never fully recovered from that embarrassment in the eyes of many fans.

To their credit, WASP faired better on their 1985 (I think) tour that had Armoured Saint and Metallica (!!!) as the opening acts. The first WASP album is cool and pure heavy metal. Soon after they went fairly glam and softened up the music quite a bit.
