W.A.S.P. Artist Snapshot:

This Los Angeles band embodies all the decadence, inter-band instability, and parent-baiting hi-jinx of the 1980s hair metal scene. Formed in '82, W.A.S.P.--featuring the irrepressible vocalist Blackie Lawless--immediately courted controversy with their first single, "Animal (F*ck like a Beast)" and their sex-obsessed lyrics and stage show. Countless line-up changes over the course of 20 years (including the regular comings-and-goings of Chris Holmes, the excellent guitar-shredder immortalized in the "swimming pool" scene in the documentary THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION II) did little to slow down the band, although by the '90s they'd become more like cult favorites than reliable hit-makers. As of the mid 00's, the band was still releasing records and touring the world.

By 1984, Kiss had been unmasked for a year and Alice Cooper was on hiatus. But L.A. bands like W.A.S.P. (which stood for "We Are Sexual Perverts") were picking up the theatrical, shock-metal slack quite nicely. The band would wear eerie make-up, tight leather, and knee-high boots, while wielding a variety of outlandish props. Musically, W.A.S.P. specialized in mega-decibel heavy metal, as evidenced by the group's gold-certified self-titled debut.

W.A.S.P. contains two of the band's most popular tracks (the scream-along anthems "I Wanna Be Somebody" and "L.O.V.E. Machine)" and many other compositions that fans of '80s metal will find gratifying. Highlights include the rockers "The Flame," "School Daze," "Hellion," "On Your Knees," and "The Torture Never Stops," plus the ballad (by W.A.S.P. standards, anyway) "Sleeping In the Fire."
