One of the most explosive metal acts of the 1980s, W.A.S.P. blew the doors off the shock rock genre with their over the top image and theatrics. They had the songs too, most notably from the off, with their classic 1984 debut which they'll be celebrating in full on their forthcoming 'Album One Alive' tour. "When we first came up with the idea a couple years ago, I wasn't sure how well it would be received", confesses main man Blackie Lawless as we sit down for a chat; "it wasn't until we got in front of people that I saw their reaction, and I went; "oh, we've got a huge fish on the hook here!" Discussing the tour, how grunge affected 'The Crimson Idol', the darkness of 'KFD' and the supposed over correction of 'Helldorado', we go in depth with the creative behind W.A.S.P.
