Review - :
Music critics have always pointed out the similarities between theatrical rockers {$Kiss} and {$W.A.S.P.} -- {$Blackie Lawless}' and {$Gene Simmons}' blood spewing, makeup and costumes, high-decibel {\rock}, and so on. ({$Ace Frehley} even produced {$W.A.S.P.}'s first demo!) {$Kiss} used the live album format for their big commercial breakthrough, 1975's classic {^Alive!}, and {$W.A.S.P.} hoped the same would happen for them with 1987's {^Live...In the Raw}. While it didn't work out that way, it served as a worthwhile document of the band' s live show -- but the biggest problem is that {$W.A.S.P.} concerts always relied mainly on visuals. Still, the band offers heavy versions of such fan favorites as {&"L.O.V.E. Machine,"} {&"Wild Child,"} {&"I Wanna Be Somebody,"} {&"Blind in Texas,"} {&"I Don't Need No Doctor,"} and {&"Sleeping (In the Fire)."} Also included is a live version of a previously unreleased original, {&"Harder Faster,"} as well as the {\soundtrack}-only studio cut {&"Scream Until You Like It"} (from {#Ghoulies II}). ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
