W.A.S.P. HISTORY
The metal rock band *W.A.S.P. released their first record 29 years ago in 1984. Opening the door for the rock and roll hall of fame induction process in 2009.
W.A.S.P. started as Sister with Blackie Lawless and Randy Piper working together in Piper’s rehearsal studio Magnum Opus in Buena Park, California in 1979. In 1980, they changed the band name to Circus Circus and to W.A.S.P. in 1982. They signed their first major record deal with Capitol records in 1984 with Blackie Lawless, Randy Piper, Chris Holmes and Tony Richards and released there first self-titled album W.A.S.P. August 17, 1984.
W.A.S.P. PERPETUATION OF ROCK AND ROLL
W.A.S.P. has demonstrated for 31 years that they have influenced an entire genre of music titled “heavy metal” with massive sounds, heavily amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, and emphatic beats.
They demonstrated unquestionable musical excellence in 1985 by supporting The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protecting the Freedom of Speech and Expression against the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) who wanted to censor their lyrics. W.A.S.P. continued to distribute albums without censorship by being the first group in music history to apply a warning label to their record that reads, “The lyrical content of this record may be considered offensive”.
W.A.S.P. contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll include dual guitars, stage antics, shock rock themed images, lyrics and the shear energy of the stage live shows. Also, an exceptional contribution is Blackie Lawless’s innovation and superiority in style and unique technique in his vocals that have spawned other artist’s for three generations worldwide.
