Customer Reviews Great Early West Coast Metal Wasp had a certain rawness to them, that put them over the edge of other bands of the time. Before the term "Hair Metal" was coined, and a billion bands came along during the late 80's and really ruined the metal scene (that become a joke) there were solid west coast metal bands such as Motley Crue (pre Theater of Pain) and Ratt, but a band that seems to get lost in the shuffle is WASP. Not as heavy as early Metallica, nor did they have the thrash/black/death or whatever you wanted to call Early Celtic Frost,Venom, and Kreator, yet they did have a really heavy sound generated by the guitar playing of Chris Holmes, and Blackie Lawless was the mastermind of the sleezy lyrics. "The last Command" is my favorite WASP album, and its a bit stronger then the debut. Sadly the bad would only make one more Great album, which was "Inside the Electric Circus" and the average "The headless children" and then they would fade into obscurity only to reincarate themselves with a batch of piss poor albums. This one is the best of the bunch and is a headbangers delight no matter what kind of "Metal" you like. hair metal? W. I DONT THINK SO!! These guys are far beyong hair metal - they are true heavy metal and not that false metal stuff - this stuff is actually rockin' and heavy. A. S. P. gets unfortunate genre-ing of hair metal just because of what they look but these guys bang their heads and go crazy! Just like Motley Crue, they are HEAVY METAL and not HAIR METAL!!! Get it right people - it's about the music man. WASP Rules! Great stuff! Love it!. Vintage WASP! Any heavy-metal fan has to have this. .
