 | W.A.S.P - THE LAST COMMAND
|
1985 saw W.A.S.P. release their second album, THE LAST COMMAND. Produced by Spencer Proffer, the super-charged sophomore effort would reach #49 on the Billboard album chart. Prior to releasing THE LAST COMMAND, W.A.S.P. released the single "Blind In Texas," as an early taste of the eagerly awaited follow-up. The four man crime spree of Lawless/ Holmes/ Piper/ Riley worked hard, toured hard, and played hard. A liner note on the inside of THE LAST COMMAND, which one could interpret as a reflection of the band's state of mind, warned: Don't Drive Drunk Or Blind.... in Texas or anywhere else....
It was during a 1985 Kerrang interview with Dante Bonutto that Blackie Lawless revealed- "The first album I still like a lot. I think it's great for what it was; it has a lot of energy and it was designed to be a fun record, but this, this record is a listening record.... God, I sang my ass off on this record, I really did!It took me six hours to put the vocals on "Wild Child"- I did it all in one session- and it's the most painful thing I've ever done vocally in my life. I was like a dish rag by the time I finished and it took me about a week to recover."
