W.A.S.P @ Bourbon Street!!!

[johan68]

It appears that W.A.S.P will be at Bourbon Street in N.P.R, FL on March 20. Haven't seen an official tour announcement yet so I don't know if this is a one off or a proper tour. Anyways.... If you have never seen W.A.S.P (or want to see 'em again ), you should make your way to New Port Richey for that show. W.A.S.P always puts on a great performance (IMO).

New album slays as well....

Yep, full tour.
I am considering going to the Chicago date, which is actually in a suburb, near my work.

I am only familiar with their early stuff, but everyone raves about the live show...when they do actually show up that is!

I am so excited for the Chicago date. Although it is at a questionable venue for such a band, it will still be a great show.
Didn't know they were playing Bourbon Street. That date must have just been added to the tour.

Feb. 26 - Agoura Hills, CA @ Canyon Club

I love me some WASP! Naturally, this tour isn't coming anywhere near me though. I agree with Johan, the new album is great!

You have any clue as to who else is on the bill????

 

[TychoCelchu]

Hum. I've heard that a lot of what you hear at a W.A.S.P. show is pre-recorded going over the speakers. I'm going mainly for the spectacle of seeing Blackie and that mic stand.

Haha yes! I saw them in Orlando in 2001 and Blackie on that mic stand was awesome. Not coming here unfortunately. Be nice if it did.

Is there any truth to this? Or is this strictly netlore?

[Jasonic]

I recall hearing this through the years as well.
(IE - rumors that Blackie pipes through backing tracks for the lead vocals).

Who knows.....

This show will be at Club Firestone in Orlando on March 19th as well, I am booking the local support for this.... Still awaiting on the guys at firestone to announce within the week hopefully.

BUT Seven Kingdoms is among the openers, so if anyone is in FL and wants to see WASP on that date

I HAS PRESALE TICKETS!!!

 

[Jasonic]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Move that Orlando date back just ONE day to March 18th!!!
I will be in Orlando all that week for work, but leaving on the 19th.

DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!

I don't think it's true. I've seen W.A.S.P 7 times in the last ten years and have not had any reason to believe anything has been pre recorded. One of my best mates has also been W.A.S.P's guitar tech for the last 4 years and according to him it is not true.

are you coming to the orlando show?

I agree with this statement. I have seen WASP everytime they have come to Chicago for the past 7 years and even travelled to see them elsewhere, always being front and center during the show. I have never got the impression it was pre-recorded. I think that was just a rumor that got started and spread for some reason. But who knows.

All I know is the past couple of shows, "Elvis"...Blackie's big ass mic stand has been absent. Last I heard, a few springs were broken on it. Hopefully it gets fixed.
Either that or they are not playing venues big enough to accompany the thing. It's really sad....everytime I see them the venue gets crappier and crappier.

 

[johan68]

are you coming to the orlando show?

Not for that one. Bourbon street is only about 30 min from my house. I will be in Orlando for the Porcupine Tree show on April 23 though (the day before JOP @ Bourbon Street), and quite possibly for the Kreator show whenever that is.

Yes... Haven't missed a JOP show the last 8 years.

HAHA several actually, Psyaxis is on the bill as well as us. They are a great prog/power band that hopefully everone will enjoy!

They play first followed by Holes and Hearts then Seven Kingdoms and JOP

Should be a packed house and a fantastic night of metal

 

[johan68]

Well, the show was just removed from Bourbon Street's web site so I guess it might be off. Bollocks.....

 

[Jasonic]

HEy Orlando folks!!!!

Can you guys let me know of any metal shows going on between:
- March 16 through March 18
- March 27 through April 2

Thanks!
