    "It's not W.A.S.P. any more. It's the Blackie Lawless show." Ya know, I have to agree with him. They're playing the same "music" but it's not the same sound or the same soul. Gotta love his character, "We're old, let it go, let bygone's be bygones." ie: make the most of the time you have in this life, and don't take yourself so seriously. Love it.

He's everything an 80's era rock star should be 30 years later...... He's so positive, I say give em a reality show, driving an ice cream truck, and playing gigs at night! I would love to go fishing with him, or just hang out for a day. IDK how I wound up watching this, but I'm happy I did!

I met this guy at The Marquee Club in London at a ‘secret’ W.A.S.P. show two nights before their 1992 Donnington Monsters of Rock show, and he was the best famous guy ever, where most famous people can be douchebags when you meet them, but Johnny Rod stayed with my friend and I and we sat on the stage together and talked and got photo’s too, and he was so super cool and so friendly and naturally funny too, it was the best experience of our lives, and we left the show happier even than after the Donnington show.

    Love the attitude and energy this guy brings. Seems like the kinda guy you could hang with, have a few beers, and have a great time.

    I knew him back in the early 80's with King Kobra and he hasn't changed a bit. Still a helluva lot of fun to hang out with. 😄
