Blackie Lawless rules!!!, Jan 4 2004
This review is from: First Blood Last Cust (Audio CD)
Lawless friggin' lights up the speakers with his singing. Wasp in my mind is one of the more durable metal bands to come out of the eighties, hell last time I looked, they're still making music recently. They are also one of the best. Step aside Motley Crue, Poison and Warrant, you guys are awesome too, but way too mainstream at times. Wasp's dark and violent ideals really appeal to me. Instead of "Lookin for Nothin' But a Good Time" Lawless and his gang "F##k Like a Beast." What I'm saying is the music is more hardcore, with attitude and balls. Some of the key tracks are "Blind in Texas" and the anthem "Wild Child," not to mention the previous mentioned "F##k Like a Beast." This should be a surprise, they also have one of the greatest heavy metal power ballads of all time, "Hold Onto My Heart." Believe me, people this song is a tear jerker. Have kleenex in hand while listening. Never heard of it, man you just don't know what you're missing. It puts "Every Rose.." and "Heaven" to bed. BEAUTIFUL!!! The newest greatest hits album that Wasp put out is missing some of the tracks that were on this one, which makes it very disappointing. If you're gonna get a Wasp Greatest Hits Album, then it should be this one instead. Yes it's outta print and can be a bugger to find. But if you can track it down and score it reasonably priced then do it!! Wasp never achieved the level of popularity that groups like Poison and Motley Crue did, but they left their mark. Very impressive metal band. Enjoy!!
