Biggest letdown 2022 - WASP
Oddest show 2022 - Vinnie Vincent
Best Boxset - Creatures

[birnie]

Well you've been a busy boy !
Good for you

What happenned with WASP?
Did you actually get the creatures boxset?

[Genebaby]

Yeah man, you've been busy!! I got to see KISS and GnR this year and I haven't been listening to anything new out there, I usually find I'm disappointed in new music. The best that I do now and then is get into old music that is new to me.

I have heard good things about WASP when I was kind of expecting not great things going from past years, what was your WASP letdown?

What happened with WASP?

I did get the Creatures box set.
It is awesome.

Blackie Lawless lied.
When he announced this tour many moons ago he promised ...

A set list mostly taken from the first three albums
A show like the legendary old show that put WASP on the map
If he played two nights in one theater he would change up the set list.

The reality turned out to be that the set list was heavy on Idol songs.
He did his ridiculous medley and only did a couple of minutes of Animal.
Also, the 'show' was video screens w/his pogo mic stand.
The set list after the first handful of shows did not change.
He also played to tapes. He sang but there was a tape playing over that and backing vocals pumped in.

Armored Saint were great.

[Genebaby]

Ahh, that's a bugger, it sux when you get lied to by an artist and your expectations are shattered.

Like Vinnie does it I have to wonder what he thinks he's going to gain from not telling the fans what is really going to happen.

I'm actually a big fan of The Crimson Idol album, loved it. Also really liked KFD when it came out, I would have liked to see both those tours.

Of course like a lot of artists there is big interest in thier early stuff and if that's what he advertises, that's what he should have played.

The stage would be a $$$ thing, but he also would have known that from the start. He could have said the video screens would represent our old school live show.

Playing to tapes, another Vinnie thing there, wow.
