As for what one of the fans said, I too killed myself with a 32 cal. to the head. But survived. It was an angelic miracle that saved me from it and ultimately brought me to Christ. But I would eventually learn the callousness and missteps of my fellow Christian in how he/she dealt with me as a dark souled Metal Christian. Blackie is right. Christians are flawed but Christ is not. The only thing Christians get right is that we need him because we are all born fuck ups. Sinners.

@@robroblox8844 he answered this question before. He said honestly that he wants his fans to get the same quality sound as they get listening to the studio recording. He's not lip-syncing, he just uses back vocals to make his live singing sound better. I agree that it is not a 100% real live gig experience, but still enjoyed two WASP shows I have attended, no matter if Blackie improved his singing using this or not. He was singing for real and he was doing it good.

This guy is a paradox. In '84, he was pictured on Kerrang! holding a bloody skull (ketchup and plastic, I imagine) and grimacing. My reaction was to assume he was an opportunist with nothing to say. I was wrong. He's articulate and intelligent, and a humanitarian (see his response to the guy who lost his dad). It seems he used shock tactics to gain a foothold in the rock sphere, then branched out and blossomed as a writer and conceptualist.

This whole thing of Blackie talking about the church I went through the same kind of stuff cuz my dad was a pastor when I was a kid. The Crimson Idol helped me at a time when I needed to turn away from the church but not God. I had just graduated high school when the album came out gotten away from my father didn't have to go to church anymore I was tired of all the internal BS same type of stuff he's talking about. I realized it's okay to love God in your heart but you do not need to go to an unhealthy place around the bunch of unhealthy people even if they call themselves "church" or the "house of God"....

Wow. You saw it differently than I did. He slouches behind a table, and rambles a bit. Apparently, no shaking hands, no one on one, no picture taking...nothing. I don't know what he charges for his "Meet and see"...but whatever it was, it was too much. Watch "Mean Man" if you want to see how a WASP meet and greet SHOULD go....and I'm quite sure Chris charges a mere fraction.

@@scottyflamingo1413 And from what I can tell from videos posted on KZread, Blackies "Meet and See's" garner 10-20 suckers per show. Blackies show's aren't exactly stadiums either....What 1,000 or so per show? I'm sure that if Blackie HAD a wife, she'd be working to save him a dime.

@@robroblox8844 he answered this question before. He said honestly that he wants his fans to get the same quality sound as they get listening to the studio recording. He's not lip-syncing, he just uses back vocals to make his live singing sound better. I agree that it is not a 100% real live gig experience, but still enjoyed two WASP shows I have attended, no matter if Blackie improved his singing using this or not. He was singing for real and he was doing it good.
Love his real and down to earth

This guy is a paradox. In '84, he was pictured on Kerrang! holding a bloody skull (ketchup and plastic, I imagine) and grimacing. My reaction was to assume he was an opportunist with nothing to say. I was wrong. He's articulate and intelligent, and a humanitarian (see his response to the guy who lost his dad). It seems he used shock tactics to gain a foothold in the rock sphere, then branched out and blossomed as a writer and conceptualist.
Great to see you Taz! You have a great job! 🤘

I'm sure Anthony is still proud of his Dad, even though he's such a dark chump.
This whole thing of Blackie talking about the church I went through the same kind of stuff cuz my dad was a pastor when I was a kid. The Crimson Idol helped me at a time when I needed to turn away from the church but not God. I had just graduated high school when the album came out gotten away from my father didn't have to go to church anymore I was tired of all the internal BS same type of stuff he's talking about. I realized it's okay to love God in your heart but you do not need to go to an unhealthy place around the bunch of unhealthy people even if they call themselves "church" or the "house of God"....

Ah,, baby... i was the only one who had taz's back (the guy standing The background) He loved mooko. On tour with him in the mid nineties. Those guy's , condescendingly chastised him behind his back using him for what they thought for the meager guitarist and lead vocalist dork duties. as a drummer I respected his hard work and looked at him as a solid figure and somebody that I could rely on. Some reason he choose them. Instead of brotherhood.
