I'm 44:I saw Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. back when they opened for Iron Maiden on the (I it was Live After Death World Tour 1988/89 = 50,000 WATTS OF POWER) in Dallas Texas and I have to say I was blown away about 3 quarters through that concert when Blackie started twirling his head and hair around and his head looked like it was on a pivot and then he drank the fake mixed blood from the upside down skull and so you talk about showmanship, there was nothing that could compare to that except maybe the 50,000+ Watts of pure adreneline that Maiden brought out after that, I still remember the 40 foot tall Eddie that rose up behind Nicko McBrain that had sparking eyeballs (I still wish they'd release that show on DVD because I'd love to own those 2 shows on that same night.I own Blackie Lawless' Neon God's Cd's and still listen to them every so often. Brilliant Works!!!
