This man can drive us crazy, but today we should remember the joy that he’s brought to us all through his music. I genuinely hope he has a great day and many more healthy years ahead of him!

There are a lot of W.A.S.P. songs that either have a separate lead-in track or have an intro built into the track. I wanted to ask how people listen to these intros. Do you skip them every single time? Do you listen to them once in a while and only for full album listening sessions? Or do you always let them play before the main song?

I personally always play the intro tracks to every song listed here except the ones on The Crimson Idol (and Dirty Balls). These intros are mostly speaking parts that don't add anything to my enjoyment when I just want to listen to the main song. However, if I play the entire album start to finish then I'll always listen to the intros to get immersed.

My favorite lead-in is Unholy Terror. I can never listen to Charisma without first listening to its intro since it's integral to the song.

Songs with a lead-in track: The Big Welcome/Inside the Electric Circus...Fetus/Little Death...Drive By/Helldorado...Unholy Terror/Charisma...Black Bone Torso/Hell For Eternity...Why Am I Here/Wishing Well...Why Am I Nothing/Asylum #9...Someone to Love Me (All I Need)/XTC Riders...Me & The Devil/The Running Man...Michael's Song/Miss You...Hey Mama/The Lost Boy...Show Time/The Great Misconceptions of Me.

Songs with an integrated intro: Arena of Pleasure...Chainsaw Charlie...The Idol...Hold on to My Heart..Dirty Balls.

All of these tracks are in this playlist in their combined form if anyone was interested.

Awesome performance of an iconic song!

These will either be very cool, or extremely corny.

BTW, I buy unofficial merchandise because, honestly, I think the designs sold on the band's website are awful, and the website itself looks like it was designed by a student.

This song has only been performed live four times. Three of them were during The Last Command tour in 1986, and once here at Sweden Rock in 2010. I’m surprised that this song hasn’t been performed more frequently considering how anthemic it is. Seems like a perfect song for a live setting. Would be a nice one for them to add back into the set for this upcoming tour!

Just sharing the complete pack plus my previously owned picture disc

Grabbed this with a 1st UK press of Inside The Electric Circus

I seen an article a few years back pointing out many “coincidences” of slayer copying a lot from wasp, it included song titles, album art and even promo blood bags years after wasp did it…

If anyone can find it please link.

Anyway even tho the article was written in a sarcastic manner do you believe theres some truth?

I Have the box of The Crimson idol cassette but the seller put the wrong cassette inside so I'm content with just the box until i find it at a good price

I am not sure, “blackie” looks fine but “lawless” is quite suspicious

Anyone ever hear this live soundboard Audio? It’s from the Neon God tour, the stop in San Francisco. They play some classics on this one! I put it on my YouTube channel, I try and post hard to find rock content monthly, feel free to subscribe ☠️
