W.A.S.P. Album: “Double Live Assassins”

This is an absolutely incredible double-disc set from the premier bloodand guts metal band of all-time.Anybodythat doesn't appreciate Blackie Lawlessmust admit the man is a truly talentedmusician beyond all the stage props and blood and gore of which I enjoy immensely anyway.This set captures thetrue spirit and energy of a live W.A.S.P. show.It'll blow you away frombeginning to end and it'll make you feellike you are right there in the trenches with the rest of us metalheads.This double-disc set is a great mix of classic W.A.S.P. and killer material from the KFD album.Check out The Horroron the last song of the first disc andit'll send goosebumps up your spine.Blackie Lawless is a truly gifted song-writer in my mind.I would love to get into that man's head to see what he isthinking when he is writing this stuff.Or maybe not!W.A.S.P. rules!!!!!

One word sums up this disc: BRUTAL! The first disc has an incredible amount of energy, drawing heavily from the first album. The second is newer material, and if you haven't heard them in a while, is really surprising. Blackie is one of the premier songwriters of metal.

I got W.A.S.P. from the suggestion of a teacher. After asking me for a year and a half if I ever got Wasp, I finally decided to pick up this live double disc. The opening medley got me, and to me the two medleys are the real gems here. The other songs are great also. Wasp is on off-beat band...I love it!

After the long and hard road trip most Heavy metal and hard rock bands have gone down in the early 90's W.A.S.P. is back and better then before with the rejoining of Chris Holmes (the original guitar player) back in 95 Blackie and crew has been out to show that they are still #1 in shock rock. With all the blood and gore from there last tours plus new blood and gore enough to make Freddy Krueger blush and to make Tipper Gore run and get back on her soap box. This Cd captures W.A.S.P. at there best.

WASP es una de las mas grandes bandas de Gore Glam en el mundo del rock. El disco doble es un excelente balance de canciones del inicio de su carrera. Los medleys dan un balance entre los inicios y anterior a este disco.

Lo que siempre faltara en las opciones que tiene WASP sera siempre un video para ver la calidad y el poder que presentan en sus cociertos.

Es interesante ver la potencia, la velocidad de los solos en guitarra despues de la explosion del grudge en los noventas.

Aunque es muy bueno como un album en vivo, por razones sentimentales, prefiero el disco en vivo "Live...in the RAW", que fue grabado cuando WASP era un espectaculo de estadios o al menos de auditorios medianos.
