WHERE ANGELS SUFFER (W.A.S.) - featuring Chris Holmes (guitar - ex-W.A.S.P.), Stet Howland (drums - ex-W.A.S.P.), Steve Unger (bass - ex-METAL CHURCH) and Rich Lewis (vocals - ANIMAL) - have parted ways with Randy Piper (guitar - Animal, ex-W.A.S.P.).
The band have since welcomed Ira Black (ex-LIZZY BORDEN, Metal Church, HEATHEN).
Q: Since The Last Command (1985) almost all cover artworks depicted only Blackie, but you contributed a lot of songs to The Last Command and Inside The Electric Circus (1986) albums as well. Don’t you think that you and Randy deserved to be on the covers too?
Holmes: "Blackie wants to be Elvis Presley, he wants to be the only guy. Let’s put it this way, he has an ego. He does really shitty things to everybody in the band. The only reason why he kept me that long is to get more ticket sales. You wanna get some really shitty? The money you make off the records is called publishing, and he made me sign my contract in the way that this goes back into the band, so I never saw any of publishing. I was young, and I said, 'Is this the right thing for me to do?' He said, 'Yeah', and he knew exactly where it was gonna go. That’s why I had really bad issues with the guy. Even today – I’d never play with the guy again, I’d rather be dead. He’s only out for himself, he’s not out for the whole band. If he was a nice guy, would he please keep a few band members? He’s always changing band members. I hate signing those… Well, I wouldn’t say I hate signing those records, I played on them, I guess. So what I do is I sign them right on Blackie’s face.
Randy and I were talking last week. We recalled how we were told to go down and choose the pictures out of like 500 to put on the record, and why choose the pictures if they didn’t go on the record? Blackie turned around and changed them. Did I choose that picture to be on the record? (points at his photo in a CD booklet) No! It was all him. The worse we look, the better he looks. And that was the case with every album. That’s him on the cover, it’s not the band, and this sucks. I have to live with it, because it’s part of my past, and that’s OK. But why should Blackie call it WASP? It’s Blackie Lawless and nobody else."
Q: Now it is, but I guess in the 1980s that was different…
Holmes. "Yes, but the reason why is that – do you think he would have got anywhere being by himself like he is? Here we’re talking about negative things, but this is reality, that’s what the guy was. I have nothing good to say about him. The other guys, they’re friends, they’re cool…
Q: In the '80s and 90s W.A.S.P. did really cool shows with raping nuns and stuff on stage, but now Blackie is a Christian. What can you say about this? It’s a little bit strange for me…
Holmes: "I’ll tell you what kind of person he is – he’s full of shit! If being a Christian can make money, that’s what he’s doing. It’s all about making money and nothing else. Blackie is religious! There’s got to be some catch in there to make money."
En même temps, même si on sent qu'il est aigri, ce qu'il dit sur Blackie est loin d'être faux...

Et je rajoûterais qu'au moins, c'est vraiment chanté et on a l'impression d'avoir affaire à un groupe soudé, contrairement à l'original...
Ils font tout comme W.A.S.P.. Si ça c'est pas du dévouement envers le public!!!!!!cillian a écrit :W.A.S. a déjà annulé 1 date sur les 9 qui étaient prévues en Europe.!
T'es ouf le premier est tout pourri. On dirait des faces D de Running Wild !jony a écrit :En effet bien drôle!!!
Par contre moi je reste un peu plus... disons que j'attends de voir. J'imagine que y a bien des gens qui ont du rigoler à l'annonce de la formation de X-Wild. Pourtant le premier album est monumental.
Ben moi je le trouve pas génial le 3ème. Y a une bonne ambiance d'album, mais les compos en soi, j'accroche pas alors que le premier, je le trouve largement à la hauteur des RUNNING WILD de l'époque.weik a écrit :T'es ouf le premier est tout pourri.

C'est surtout leur troisième et dernier album qui est excellent !
Vu ça sur un autre forum. très très très cheap, mais je trouve le morceau pas mal. Mais il faut changer de musicien(s), de chanteur, de producteur et de réalisateur. Et de dentiste.mike-polar a écrit :Pendant ce temps, Chris Holmes débute sa carrière solo. Du lourd:
