I hate you.lol

The first time I saw WASP in Dallas Texas back on the Inside The Electric Circus tour I was amazed.
I went and bought the live album of the tour the day it was released ( Live In The Raw).
I was fortunate enough to have met Blackie Lawless once,, we talked politics for a couple hours.
I would have voted for the man purely on his stance on cirtain issues if he actualy ran ( He was concidering entering politics for a bit).
 I need to get Beast Of Babylon,, thats the only one I havent got yet.
Look for anything from a band called Sister, that was his band before he got WASP going.
 Alot of what he did on The Headless Children ( WASP goes socialy concious on that one) reminded me alot of some of the things he did with Sister.
 BTW, on the first WASP album ( actualy was to be named The Winged Assissins) the song "School Days" Was a cover of a Sister song.

Oh no ,lmao
Blackie was great.
Unholy Terror had a song on it called " Charisma" that was really dramatic.
The song " Heavens Hung In Black" Has a special meaning for me since he and I dont agree with the illicit war America is waging in the mideast.
As an American, I cant say anything about that in the States for fear of being labeled a domestic terrorist.
 Even Blackie adressed that in a concert he did in Holland last year.

I got Unholy Terror,, and heard the name of the new one is Monster of Babylon.
You dont find any WASP in America much, you got to go online and get it or search through what record stores arent pushing Hip Hop and Rap garbage.

Whatever Blackie does though is gonna be good.

Torrenting helps,as usual.

Of course, couldnt live without it.
If they want us to stop torrenting,, record companies need to recognize the fans in other places instead of target areas.

Even Blackie made a mention of that.
Come to think of it,, the man mande mention of a great many things.
He is a very wise man.

Illegal downloaders 'spend the most on music', says poll

Crackdown on music piracy could further harm ailing industry

By Rachel Shields


Sunday, 1 November 2009
People who illegally download music from the internet also spend more money on music than anyone else, according to a new study. The survey, published today, found that those who admit illegally downloading music spent an average of ?77 a year on music ? ?33 more than those who claim that they never download music dishonestly.


The findings suggest that plans by the Secretary of State for Business, Peter Mandelson, to crack down on illegal downloaders by threatening to cut their internet connections with a "three strikes and you're out" rule could harm the music industry by punishing its core customers.

An estimated seven million UK users download files illegally every year. The record industry's trade association, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), believes this copyright infringement will cost the industry ?200m this year.

The poll, which surveyed 1,000 16- to 50-year-olds with internet access, found that one in 10 people admit to downloading music illegally.

"The latest approach from the Government will not help prop up an ailing music industry. Politicians and music companies need to recognise that the nature of music consumption has changed, and consumers are demanding lower prices and easier access," said Peter Bradwell, from the think-tank Demos, which commissioned the new poll conducted by Ipsos Mori.

However, music industry figures insist the figures offer a skewed picture. The poll suggested the Government's plan to disconnect illegal downloaders if they ignore official warning letters could deter people from internet piracy, with 61 per cent of illegal downloaders surveyed admitting they would be put off downloading music illegally by the threat of having their internet service cut off for a month.

"The people who file-share are the ones who are interested in music," said Mark Mulligan of Forrester Research. "They use file-sharing as a discovery mechanism. We have a generation of young people who don't have any concept of music as a paid-for commodity," he continued. "You need to have it at a price point you won't notice."

The Digital Economy Bill, which will become law next April, sets out new measures to crack down on internet piracy. But these have generated criticism from internet service providers, who say they will be difficult to enforce.

Artists are also divided over the issue, with Lily Allen and James Blunt recently supporting the Government's stance, while the Latin pop star Shakira argues that illegal file sharing brings her closer to her fans.

This year Virgin Media and Universal Music plan to launch the first music subscription service allowing customers to download and keep unlimited tracks from Universal's catalogue for a fee of around ?15.



Tell you what,, if they make the music available to all fans, and lower the prices and keep the quality up, maybe people like me wont have to go online to torrent an album I cant find anywhere else, or just download the one or two songs that are any good.

Normaly ill check out an album or movie before I buy them. Ifter the experiences ive had in the past, I wont waste good money on something thats crap .

Unfortunately,, like I said beofre, WASP has been, and will allways be my favorite band, and If I cant buy thier cds in America, Ill go to where I CAN get them.
I blame the record industry for not allowing fans access to cirtain things.
They say you hurt the band, you dont, you hurt the record company, the band only makes money on merchandising and appearances. Check out the facts about how much record companies make off of album sales compared to the artist.
Blackie Lawless said the only way he ever made money from an album was when they released The Last Command.

What makes you think im not boring and my life is so interesting? lmao
I am so boring I spent the night reading a book on serial killers and thinking it was really good. lol

 I remember when WASP came out with Animal, F**k like a Beast.
The PMRC ( Parents Music Resource Center) started protesting against all metal, and doing speaches at places.
They caused the rock and roll hearing back in the 80s that was started by an organazation called the Washington Wives.
Well, that sounds like some kind of friggin Jackie Collins Hollywood friggin novel if you ask  me.
They can Suck Me, Suck Me,EAT ME RAW!!!!!!  ( Thank you Blackie for that quote.lol)
