Description

Clear vinyl. Limited 50 copies

Following the release of three studio albums during glam metal’s biggest peak, W.A.S.P would take a far different direction than most of their hair band companions at the end of the decade. With a huge following, a live record, and endless controversy, 1989 would see a big shift in the W.A.S.P. timeline. By this point, most of the bands within the scene were either hitting their last round of wild success or already on the downfall towards making music that would soon be considered outdated. Blackie Lawless and co. saw a different opportunity. Rather continue on with the glam shtick that they’d been using previously, they instead completely reinvented themselves with different songwriting approaches, new playing techniques, and far more mature lyrics. Gone were the days of music erected around raunchy sex, wild parties, and evil. They also removed the gimmicks, outfits, and make-up in pictures for the album sleeve. The end product was The Headless Children and the band would tour endlessly in support of the album, which reached #48 on the Billboard album chart. This album was recorded during that tour when the band made a stop at I’Elysee Montmatre in Paris, France on the 7th of June 1989. Chris Holmes guitar playing combined with Johnny Rod’s bass work and the shit-hot drumming of guest star Frankie Banali from Quiet Riot is just truly fantastic and on top of that we have Blackie the preacher. Too bad that guitarist Chris Holmes left W.A.S.P. after the tour was over
