Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P on the unsuspecting world in 1983 & before long tales of their outrageous music &intense stage shows were legendary. In the last few years of the old century, W.A.S.P. made some of their most striking & brave albums. The ferocious, blood- splattered 'Kill Fuck Die' & the celebratory sleazefest of 'Helldorado' had provided solid proof that Blackie Lawless' songwriting skills were as keen & unique as ever & unlike the majority of his 80's contemporaries, this most dogged & 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 & shock tactics of Blackie Lawless might have gained the headlines, it was what W.A.S.P. did on record that gained them legions of fans.CD NAD2025 Tracks: Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting ( 04:46 ) / Animal ( FuckLike A Beast ) ( 03:07 ) / I Wanna Be Somebody ( 03:44 ) / L.O.V.E.
