Was it Crimson Idol . cause i cant remember. I had this somewhere in my tapes.
Great guitar work by Bob Kulick...R.I.P. Sir
Saw W.A.S.P. open for Maiden on the Powerslave tour. Great job to Blackie for keeping his band going. Still sounds killer!!

Damn thats a hell of a duo. I always said Wasp was incorrectly lumped with Glam. They were much closer to an American contemporary to Maiden or Priest.
Almost 30 years have passed, but when I listen to this song I have an adrenaline rush like the first time I listened to it. Great Blackie!

One of the best parts of this is the fact I wasn't alive during the Crimson Idol's original release, so in a weird sense I was able to live seeing the Crimson Idol's release with this record (in terms of seeing Blackie's interviews, seeing the videos, the first day I got to hear the whole thing and the new songs were great additions too).

I like the the tighter sound and that snare sounds great. Love the bass as well. But I'd take Frankie's original drum performance over this one. This new one just doesn't have that intensity that Frankie brought on the original. The new lyrics are good but the original was raw and I felt the anger that Blackie was conveying in the first recording. Bassed on this single I think I'll stick to the original. The Crimson Idol is a great concept album.

I think that Blackie shouldn't have censored himself. No matter where he is now, his life (for better or for worse) is the road that brought him there.
Such an awesome and well-written song
pure gold
They literally made a song about this. How artist would get 5 or 6 % from their music. It WAS insane.
This is a really great album.🌌🌌👏👏👍👍👍 Danke
Blackie's voice is just as intense, but evil corporate Charlie that doesnt swear is very saturday morning villainy. Restore the lyrics and holy cow i wouldn't have guessed this was made so many years after
I made a comment just the other night when a fellow FB poster put a pic of a new WASP album on there. I said, WHOA!!! Haven't heard that one yet but, in my opinion is the best metal album ever done by WASP was The Headless Children. I was mistaken. I was thinking about The Crimson Idol. It's just Blackie Metal straight, hard fast into your soul. Had me back in the 80's. Nothing else could beat it. Blackie makes no mistakes.

Honestly, I hate the altered lyrics. It's not that they're bad, it's just I'm so use to the original that this version sounds a bit off to me. I'm ecstatic as fuck that there is a clean version of this song with such great quality that is also the "new version" though because it gives me a chance to play it on my radio show and talk a bit about this records anniversary... So I mean, at least it's radio friendly!

Many years have passed, but that change at 3:43 still gives me goose bumps. What a brilliant masterpiece this album was and how sadly unknown it is among the average rock listener. Anyway, there are some things that sound worse in this new version. The lyrics, as expected, have succumbed to the woke virus that is everywhere these days and had to be changed. The tom roll at 3:58 sounds much cleaner in the original version. I guess the years don't pass in vain and although Frankie Banali is a true BEAST there are some things that are difficult to repeat, and in the original version he did it just perfect. The solo at 5:49 is definitely much better in the original version, as a certain amount of Wah was used in the bendings, making it much more characterful and aggressive, not to mention that the fade out is infinitely better, making it gradually fade into the background. The new version sounds neater but definitely less exciting.
