In 1983, Blackie Lawless founded the band WASP, when no one could have imagined that the band would later fill the world’s biggest venues, allowing everyone to experience their spectacular shows.
The following years saw the creation of the band’s greatest albums: milestones like “The Last Command,” “Inside The Electric Circus,” “The Headless Children,” and “Helldorado,” which even tore up the charts here.
Therefore, this “Best Of The Best” is packed with hits like “Animal (Fuck Like A Beast),” “Helldorado,” and Elton John’s cover of “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.”
Here you’ll find almost all the hits from the band’s early, and at the same time, best, phases.
Hit after hit, you just can’t get enough.
Blackie Lawless at its Best!
Product Information
Blackie Lawless launched WASP on the unsuspecting world in 1983 and before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows were legendary.
In the last few years of the old century WASP made some of their most striking and brave albums.
The ferocious, bloodsplattered Kill Fuck Die and the celebratory sleazefest of Helldorado had provided solid proof that Blackie Lawless’ songwriting skills were as keen and unique as ever and, unlike the majority of his 80s contemporaries, this most dogged and determined of frontmen was entering a new era full of confidence, with that blazing inferno in his eyes clearly a long way from fizzling out.
The 15 tracks featured on The Best Of The Best prove that while the theatrics and shock tactics of Blackie Lawless might have gained the headlines, it was what WASP did on record that gained them legions of fans.
An exhilarating rock’n’roll rollercoaster, this double disc set collects the most incidental moments from a career built on mixing snarling sexual noise with carnage, chaos and controversy.
The Best Of The Best features the WASP cuts – Animal (F**K Like A Beast), I Wanna Be Somebody, Wild Child and a rip roaring cover of Elton John’s Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.
