AOL Chat with Blackie Lawless 14/05/99 brought to you by www.w-a-s-p.com


NCWaspChat: Sorry I'm late, just got in from rehearsal.

NCMC Taz: Welcome everyone! Here we are once again, gathered together to chat with "the man"!!! The new WASP disc

NCMC Taz: Helldorado comes out this coming Tuesday May 18... be sure to pick it up because the damn things rocks

NCMC Taz: BIGTIME!! With that said... let's get started... please welcome .. Blackie Lawless!!!

NCMC Angel: The chat will be a protocol, please put a "?" on

NCMC Angel: the screen if you have a question or a "!" if you

NCMC Angel: have a comment. Please keep your IMs open to

NCMC Angel: NCMC Taz and NCMCAngel.

NCMC Angel: NCMCAngel will IM you when it is time

NCMC Angel: to IM your question to be asked.

NCMC Taz: Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!

NCMC Angel: IM = Instant Message

NCMC Taz: People... follow directions... you must IM me with your question! NCMC Taz: Bbjs123: Will there be a US Tour???

NCWaspChat: Yes, starting the end of July.

NCMC Taz: FireFireFi: Why wasn't Still Not Black Enough and KFD re-released?

NCWaspChat: Because they didn't need to be re-released. They're still being put out by the record company.

NCWaspChat: The record company...

NCWaspChat: almost claimed bankruptcy but a new management group came in and got all the

NCWaspChat: products back in the stores. /ga

NCMC Taz: Zoovie NY: Blackie...since you will not be doing the NJ horror show this year, will you be doing anything sim

NCMC Taz: similar in the NY area???

NCWaspChat: It would probbly conflict with the touring schedule. /ga

NCMC Taz: SntlyArmr: will there ever be a video collection re-released..?

NCWaspChat: Yes, and that stuff will be available through the fan club later this year. /ga

NCMC Taz: Metlathart: how many cities will be on the US tour? Will it be extensive?

NCWaspChat: I understand there are so many bootlegs out there right now, I don't imagine you're limited to just that. I

NCWaspChat: ought to start bootleggin myself. I'd make more money off the videos. :)

NCWaspChat: The US tour is still being negotiated right now.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Blackie, Why do you think WASP Fans are so unique?

NCWaspChat: Level of intelligence #1...

NCWaspChat: I think that there's something in the lyrics I write that makes it almost like a friendship type situation,

NCWaspChat: like when you meet somebody you have something in common with, you strike up a friendship...and

NCWaspChat: I think alot of what has happened is because of that, in the sense that the lyrics are

NCWaspChat: conversational.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Slow down people!!!!!!!!

NCMC Angel: I'm back

NCMC Angel: Reminder ~ please keep your IMS open

NCMC Angel: to NCMC Taz and NCMC Angel.

NCMC Taz: DWil283963: Is the artwork on the leather jacket stitched or are they patches????

NCWaspChat: Patches

NCWaspChat: well..

NCWaspChat: it's both. It's a stitched patch, like embroidered.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Kbegen: Who will be touring with you in the US?

NCWaspChat: That's still being negotiated...but you need to understand that all that stuff is pretty much in advance and

NCWaspChat: many of those decisions aren't made until about a month before we go out.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Bbjs123: I understand that there was going to be a Crimson Idol movie? What is going on with that?

NCMC Angel: Please type "?" if you have a question,

NCMC Angel: or "!" if you have a comment.

NCWaspChat: Nothing on that was ever firm. We've been talking to different movie companies for quite some time. Nothing

NCWaspChat: has developed yet, but it's still something that I'd like to do.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: What kind of stage acts do you have prepared for the tour?

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: What kind of stage acts do you have prepared for the tour?

NCWaspChat: Yes, but I don't like to talk about that stuff too much because we've been having so much trouble with

NCWaspChat: proters, that with all the censorship coming from the PMRC we don't want to let it out too soon.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: We have a old Sister Demo with a song called "Sweet Dreams" on. Have you ever considered re-record

NCMC Taz: recording those Sister tracks?

NCWaspChat: We have from time to time. There was a song called sex-drive that was on our second album.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Elaine1975: Hello Blackie. I hope you'll come to Las Vegas this tour. I've never seen WASP live, and I've

NCMC Taz: I've been a fan for years. Thank for all the music.

NCWaspChat: Thanks Elaine. I've not yet been allowed to play there. /ga

NCMC Taz: HIYAFAN: for the diehard fans will you dust off some classicks like school daze, ballcrusher, 95 nasty???

NCWaspChat: There's some stuff that we're doing in the new show right now that might satisfy that want.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: W1A1S1P1: Blackie, how would you say this recording is compared / differs from your past wasp

NCMC Taz: albums? whats the overall direction you chose to go ?

NCWaspChat: This album is more back to our roots...trying to emulate our early demos that got us a record deal.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: KFD97: Blackie, Why does the UK mag. Kerrang always rips wasp albums?Helldorado only got 2k's.

NCWaspChat: Let me go back a minute...with that correlation to demos, it's almost like the same mentailty. We plug in and

NCWaspChat: it's almost like you listening to us rehearse.

NCWaspChat: Because the editor can't stand me.

NCWaspChat: It's not just WASP. Kerrang deserves the Lee Harvey Oswald award for their continuing

NCWaspChat: efforts to assasinate rock and roll.

NCWaspChat: So..if somebody's looking at a magazine that doesn't understand anything about rock and

NCWaspChat: roll, why should anyone care about how many k's they do or don't give us?

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Have you ever considered any movie roles and do you like that you would make a good actor?

NCMC Angel: Please type "?" if you have a question,

NCMC Angel: or "!" if you have a comment.

NCWaspChat: I get offered alot of things. There's been a couple I've turned down. Probably the biggest regret that I

NCWaspChat: have, though I didn't turn it down, was a part in the Terminator 2...that Robert Patrick got. Schwarznagger

NCWaspChat: wanted me to do the part, but when he found out I was 6'4", I couldn't. I regret not being able to do that.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: PLEASE... Slow down people... we've got alot of time here!!

NCMC Taz: HIYAFAN: do you keep in touch with randy piper and tony richarrds? do ya know what they are doing?

NCWaspChat: Not really. The last time I saw Tony was 92. I was going to take him out on the Crimson Idol tour but it had

NCWaspChat: been a long time since he'd played and we didn't have time to wait for him to get back up to speed.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: HvyMtlQuen: Hello blackie.. i was just wondering if you ill be coming to chicago anytime soon?

NCWaspChat: It's sacriledge not to.

NCMC Taz: Kbegen: ?What happened with the Iron Maiden tour last year?

NCWaspChat: We just didn't do it.

NCWaspChat: They felt that they did not need us on the package.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FireFireFi: What's your take on current bands, e.g. Korn, Tool, Limp Bizkit, etc?

NCWaspChat: I dig it. Musicians have an old expression...there's only two kinds of music, good and bad, no matter what

NCWaspChat: kind of label you put on it.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Z CONCERTS: Hi Blackie, this is your old promoter pal Gina Z.. Just heard you where online and wanted to

NCMC Taz: congradulate you on the album and upcoming tour Best of Luck to you!!!.

NCWaspChat: Thanks a million.

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: Helldorado is a different name for an album where did you come up with it?

NCWaspChat: The original working title was called *Hotrods to Hell*. So we were lauging one night, talking about

NCWaspChat: Cadilacs and stuff and we wondered if the devil had a car, what would it be called?

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: DWil283963: I think everyone had so much fun at the W.A.S.P. convention in New Jersey last year. Would you

NCMC Taz: consider doing that again?

NCWaspChat: Obviously, putting Shania Twain is something you'd pay to see. With or without clothes???

NCMC Angel: Please type "?" if you have a question,

NCMC Angel: or "!" if you have a comment.

NCMC Taz: BONSARNO: can you explain what happened with Motorhead?

NCWaspChat: About the WASP convention, not with the people who promoted that show. But, we are considering doing other

NCWaspChat: things like that in different cities.

NCWaspChat: They went home. They were losing money out there. Or so the story was that we got from them.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: TALLEND420: Blackie...Just wanted to thank you for writing Hold on to my heart...never have I related to a

NCMC Taz: song like that one...

NCWaspChat: Male or Female?

NCWaspChat: TALLEND..are you male or female?

NCMC Taz: Male

NCWaspChat: Glad you like it and if you get somebody pregnant while you're listening to it, it's not my fault. :)

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: DGCHILD: Blackie, If you could change anything about your career what would it be?

NCWaspChat: I feel it's like the old Frank Sinatra song, "My Way". Regrets, I've had a few, but then again...too few to

NCWaspChat: mention.. /ga

NCMC Taz: JONSCFC: blackie will there be anymore uk shows this year i have to travel to germany to see you guys

NCWaspChat: We're playing in London on the 20th June I believe.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: SntlyArmr: What did it take for you and Chris to get back together again?

NCWaspChat: A phone call, no more than that. The first time we talked, it was like we only hadn't spoken for just

NCWaspChat: a couple of days. It was that immediate. /ga

NCMC Taz: Smutspider: HEY BLACKIE HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU WOULD DO TO TIPPER GORE ON THE TORTURE RACK?

NCMC Angel: Watch the language, TOS still applies

NCMC Angel: during this chat.

NCWaspChat: I refuse to answer on the grounds it would definitely incriminate me. I've already got enough FBI and CIA

NCWaspChat: looking up my ***, I don't need that.

NCWaspChat: But of couse, one can only imagine.

NCMC Taz: Blackyidol: Blackie, what happen with the baby jane song? And is it true that you have gotten married? If so

NCMC Taz: i wish you and your wife the best.

NCWaspChat: I'm not sure if the wood in that rack could support her fat ***...after all, they're only made out of 6' x 6'

NCWaspChat: oak.

NCWaspChat: Baby Jane is a project that we're working on that is not finished. No to the second part.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCWaspChat: (already married to my career)

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Blackie in what catogory would you place yourself as a song writer? We feel that you write the

NCMC Taz: best when your angry, is this true?

NCWaspChat: I work off of emotion, attitudes, so as far as a category, I really don't think in those terms. That would be

NCWaspChat: too limited. I'm just trying to convey thought.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Oct0p0d: Is there really any bad blood between you and Manson or is that all a big load?

NCWaspChat: No, I love him. I only cut his head off and drank the blood out of it as a sign of affection toward him.

NCWaspChat: But I'm sincere when I say that I really do like him.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Kbegen: ?are you still thinking about politics?

NCWaspChat: All the time. Whether I'm going to do anything about it remains to be seen.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Blackie is there anybody in the music business that you would like to work with?

NCWaspChat: I'm a talent junkie. It would be a long list of people I have admiration for.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: SntlyArmr: why was KFD so experimental in sound, especially with Chris back in the band? It was interesting,

NCMC Taz: but why the change?

NCWaspChat: As I said before, we make records that reflect who we are at the moment. As musicians, we're capable in more NCWaspChat: than one thing. Alot of times we like to play around and see what's possible. If music could be equated to

NCWaspChat: food, the thought of eating one food the rest of my life is not appealing. You also have to remember that

NCWaspChat: music, just like any other artform is like paint colors. In order for music to reflect a certain emotion

NCWaspChat: requires a differnt color.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Blackie, Apart from Music what other things do you like to do?

NCWaspChat: I'm fascinated with architecture, Southwestern.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Angel: Please type "?" if you have a question,

NCMC Angel: or "!" if you have a comment.

NCMC Taz: Rycheout: Will there be any singles with bonus tracks for Hellodorado?

NCWaspChat: Not in the traditional sense of what you're used to. They're not vinyl everymore and don't require

NCWaspChat: B sides. Those days are over, and not just for Wasp. But what may happen is there might be leftover tracks

NCWaspChat: would be release. That would vary record to record.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Zoovie NY: Blackie, is it true that you were drafted as a pitcher for the Reds?

NCWaspChat: No, not a pitcher. Had I gone in, it would have been playing the field. /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: Do you have a favorite song on the new album or one that means more to you than any of the others? NCWaspChat: "Dirty Balls" I think it's a song that will be as timeless and classic as anything we've everwritten. Wnen

NCWaspChat: people first hear the song, they're going to think it's a guy talking to a girl. But in reality, it's me

NCWaspChat: talking to the world, and proof positive that that rebel spirit is alive and kickin'.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: KFD97: Blackie, Will there be another rock opera? If so, when?

NCWaspChat: Well, i've got an idea for one, but with everything that's happened in the last year getting this record out

NCWaspChat: and getting ready for the tour, and with the plans that we have for next year, I just don't know when I'm

NCWaspChat: going to get to do it. But it is something I want to do eventually.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Angel: Please type "?" if you have a question,

NCMC Angel: or "!" if you have a comment.

NCMC Taz: Peepo10659: What inspired Breathe, it has to be one of the most sensitive and moving songs that I've ever

NCMC Taz: heard and I wanna thank you for giving it to my ears and heart :)

NCWaspChat: Breathe came about just with me sitting down fantasizing about what that might be like.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Zoovie NY: Blackie, do you have any regrets about the whole nun-rape? Are you the least bit religious?

NCWaspChat: I figure that nuns need love too. They've been discriminated against for far, far too long.

NCWaspChat: And as far as religion, I definitely have my own ideas about stuff, but not what is necessarily popular in an

NCWaspChat: organized group.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: I'm a guitar player and I'm wondering why did you pick B.C. Rich out of all the other types of

NCMC Taz: guitars out there ?

NCWaspChat: B.C. Rich is not the only guitar that I play. But I like the way that they feel, and I've done some

NCWaspChat: modifications to them to get the sound that I want. I also have a longstanding relationship with the

NCWaspChat: company for BC Rich. They were with us from the beginning, before we got a record deal. And those kind of

NCWaspChat: things, I don't forget.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Foghorn311: would you ever do an unplugged recording?

NCWaspChat: Yeah, definitely. One of the things I've been entertaining doing for quite some time is Storytellers, where

NCWaspChat: you play acoustically but sit down with an intimate group of people for questions and answers, much like we're

NCWaspChat: doing now. That's something I'd very much like to do.

NCWaspChat: Cause...

NCWaspChat: people can ask questions like do you have a dog or cat, and I'm sure that they're things that they'd like

NCWaspChat: to know. But when an intimate group discusses music, from one musician to another, those things hold me

NCWaspChat: spellbound.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Blackie you once stated that you studied the occult, did you ever go back down that road?

NCWaspChat: No.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: KrackaFu: Blackie, what do you plan to accomplish with this album? Any certain goal? or is this just chaotic

NCMC Taz: Mayhem??

NCWaspChat: World domination, spreading mad cow disease everywhere we go. Small things like that.

NCWaspChat: Not to mention that this tour will buy me the 34 Ford Hotrod that I'm looking to buy.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp94: Blackie... don't you think Gerri Miller and Frank Ferano would make a lovely couple? LOL :)

NCWaspChat: My only response is that you are truly and sincerely evil.

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: WASP have gone through many phases, what is your favourite era and why?

NCWaspChat: Not even my diabolic mind could have conceived such a pair.

NCWaspChat: Probably the period before we got a record deal, because the innocense was till involved. Truly electric

NCWaspChat: times in Los Angeles.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: DKenn51919: Blackie,how much education do you have?if any college,what degree's?

NCWaspChat: It should be apparent that it ain't a whole hell of alot now, isn't it. You're talking to a person that in

NCWaspChat: the last semester of high school, skipped 67 striaght days and got drunk 63 of those 67.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: We've got about 10 more minutes here... get those last questions in guys!

NCMC Taz: ONSCFC: Blackie are you still collecting e~type jags if so how many have you got?

NCWaspChat: No, I got rid of those. Now I'm in to more vintage stuff.

NCWaspChat: ie, see '34 hot rod from previous question.

NCWaspChat: After all, if I have an album called Helldorado, I figure I should have an appropriate car to

NCWaspChat: go with the record.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Zoovie NY: Blackie, I heard you like comic books. True?

NCWaspChat: Not me. It's just not something I've ever really been in to.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: What does a day in the life of Blackie Lawless consist of?

NCWaspChat: (Hell...my life IS a comic book)

NCWaspChat: Wow...

NCWaspChat: My biggest complaint is there's not enough of me to go around. I've got so much stuff that I want to do, that

NCWaspChat: my brain operates faster than my body can keep up with. Basically, I'm engrossed with

NCWaspChat: work that I do with this band. On the surface, it might not seem like that much, but when you write, record,

NCWaspChat: visualize a show, 800-1000 interviews per album, I end up kind of like the go that's standing in the middle of

NCWaspChat: the floor chasing his ***.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Zoovie NY: Blackie, can we have more Crimson Idol stuff on this new tour? Please?

NCWaspChat: We're not certain yet. We're still in rehersals at this point and may or may not.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: You have probably the most loyal fan base out there how does it feel to be such a role model to so

NCMC Taz: many people?

NCWaspChat: The term "role model" is frightening. I'm only a man. Dedication of the fan base is something that I don't

NCWaspChat: think there's been a day gone by when I haven't woke up in the morning and said, "Why me?" because I can't

NCWaspChat: figure it out. Somebody earlier asked about how the identification between me and the fan base worked and I

NCWaspChat: talked about the lyrics in devloping that, but it's almost like I've never goten used to it. All people are

NCWaspChat: insecure. Performers are massively insecure. And anyone that says they're not is a liar.

NCWaspChat: I think we deal with it better as we get older, but there's a little part in the back of my head, that at

NCWaspChat: times makes me think that I'm going to wake up and it will have all been a dream. And I've said many times,

NCWaspChat: that the greatest thing anybody can be blessed with is obsession and I find that as my career goes on, that

NCWaspChat: the obsession becomes more intense.

NCWaspChat: And I think part of the reason that it intensifies,

NCWaspChat: is when I'm working on a record, I have a number of things that go through my mind.

NCWaspChat: And one of the things that I'm trying to convey to them is to feel exactly what I'm feeling

NCWaspChat: at the moment, to share that human experience. So that when they listen to the records, there's no doubt in

NCWaspChat: their mind as to what I was thinking and can hopefully apply to their life. Because I have a pretty good idea

NCWaspChat: that a large part of this fanbase are not much different than myself.

NCWaspChat: One of the things that's frustrating to me...

NCWaspChat: is the inability to have closer contact. Because as a performer, and being insecure, one of the things that

NCWaspChat: has always bothered me is dealing with groups of people. I enjoy performing for them, but that's not what I'm

NCWaspChat: talking about here. What I mean is having a sit-down, a one-on-one. And if it's more than 2 or 3 people,

NCWaspChat: I don't feel I can give them the attention that I think that they want, that I know I'd want. And it really

NCWaspChat: drives me crazy. I wish I could sit down one-on-one with each one, and say

NCWaspChat: "hey, how you doing" and basically turn the interview. Because I'm at a disadvantage...

NCWaspChat: when people meet me on the street, they know me from my lyrics, and on a much more intimate level than I can

NCWaspChat: know them. But again, I think we're all pretty similar, which is why the fan base gravitates to my work.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Lawless168: I cant get still not black enough here in the US and there is 3 songs on it that I cant

NCMC Taz: hear...will it be rereleased in the US ???

NCWaspChat: It should be available now, but September or October of this year, we're going to release a

NCWaspChat: limited edition boxed set, signed an numbered with every album we've ever done, and available only

NCWaspChat: through WaspNation.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Zoovie NY: Blackie, how much of your image is "the real you"?

NCWaspChat: 1/2 In the sense that I am part of the band, the members have complex personalities...complex to the point of

NCWaspChat: extremes on either end. When I say 1/2, I don't mean that it's half real..just half of who I am.

NCWaspChat: I'm the kinda guy that I could be one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. But if I'm walking down the street

NCWaspChat: and you *tick* me off, I will beat your ***.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: SntlyArmr: Has your voice ever gone out on you while on the road..?

NCWaspChat: Yes. It's happened twice. One time I ruptured the whole left side of my voice, and was told that I would

NCWaspChat: never be the same again.

NCWaspChat: It was one of the single-most difficult things I had to do. I ahd to go for 6 weeks without speaking.

NCWaspChat: No laughing or talking of any kind. The doctor promised me that if I did what I was supposed to do,

NCWaspChat: he could get me back to somewhere around where I used to be. But as hardheaded as I am, I didn't want to hear

NCWaspChat: that, so I went on a very strict regiment of strengthening my voice and proper maintenance, maintenance being

NCWaspChat: the key. Not only did I get back to where I was origianally, but I'm better now than I was before the

NCWaspChat: accident, I can sing things and hit notes that I couldn't before it happened. So really, it was a

NCWaspChat: blessing in disguise.

NCWaspChat: Let's face it...I'm never going to achieve immortality as a guitar player.

NCWaspChat: Any of that will be accomplished with what's in my throat.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: Were there any times in your life that you thought of doing anything else than making music?

NCWaspChat: Well, I was a professional thief, but I wan't very good at it. :)

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: Do you get nervous at all when you go onto the stage anymore?

NCWaspChat: Yeah, but for reasons you might not think. The kind of show that we do is very physical. I've tried to

NCWaspChat: explain it as like when you're in school and you run a race till you feel like you're going to throw up. Or

NCWaspChat: when you go to a doctor and you're neverous about the kind of pain. It's that kind of nervousnesness and

NCWaspChat: anxiety because I know the beast is out there waiting for me.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Blackie through your music we the fans feel that we do know the real you and we are always here for

NCMC Taz: you if that is O.K?

NCWaspChat: I couldn't be more greatful. It's almost impossible for me to put into words a response, cause it doesn't

NCWaspChat: come close to being enough.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: JONSCFC: Will WASp be coming back to the UK anytime soon apart from London 20 June

NCWaspChat: Not to my knowledge.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: DKenn51919: Blackie,you seem very down to earth,unlike many other stars,thanx for talking to us tonight.

NCWaspChat: Muchos Gracias.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Angel: Please watch the language, TOS still

NCMC Angel: applies during this chat

NCMC Taz: OK guys... we're gettin ready to wrap this puppy up.... last questions... send them in!!

NCMC Taz: TAZPEDO: will we ever see a reunion of the original line-up like as KISS and Alice Cooper are doing now? In

NCMC Taz: your opinion will we ever see a return to the heavy metal of the 80's?

NCWaspChat: We feel that the lineup that we have right now is the best WASP that there's ever been. And what happened in

NCWaspChat: the 80's was a phenomenom, fueld by television. But from what I understand, it's better out there now

NCWaspChat: then it's been in a long time. There's excitement about the fanbase, not just for WASP, but for rock and

NCWaspChat: metal in general.

NCWaspChat: /ga

NCMC Taz: DurenNLutz: It's your brother Cliff, just wanted to pull your chain a little and say hi

NCMC Taz: JONSCFC: Blackie thanx for your time give my regards to stett mike and chris and i ll see you in London for a

NCMC Taz: beer!!

NCMC Taz: Wasp713: Blackie I just want you to know that it has been a pleasure talking to you I hope maybe one day soon

NCMC Taz: we may meet in person!

NCWaspChat: About the beer...if you're buying!

NCMC Taz: DWil283963: Blackie, I think I speak for everyone when I say, "Thanks for giving us your all"!!!!

NCMC Taz: FDGCHILD: Thank you for everyting Blackie it has been a pleasure talking to you!

NCMC Taz: Thats it guys!!

NCWaspChat: I just wanted to say...

NCWaspChat: It feels good to be back. We've been hibernating for over a year making our record. Everybody out there NCWaspChat: knows I'm slow when it comes to making records. But I dam sure mean well. And for those who are considering

NCWaspChat: attending live performances this year, I strongly suggest raincoats, and varoious other non-soluable apparel. NCWaspChat: As THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA GET MESSY!!
