With an unwavering swagger, a singular image and their fair share of controversy to boot, W.A.S.P quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy metal. Recorded at Los Angeles' Record Plant in the summer of 1984 and produced\/co-produced by frontman Blackie Lawless and Shrapnel Records founder Mike Varney respectively, W.A.S.P. was the first, and remains one of the finest, examples of a band with little regard for the rules, an outlaw attitude and the razor-sharp music to back it all up.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\"Rock 'n' roll is headbanging, rock 'n' roll should make you want to f**k, if it don't make you want to f**k then it ain't rock 'n' roll - I can't say it better than that!\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e– Blackie Lawless\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\"It was all about shock for W.A.S.P., be it flaming codpieces, tying a semi-naked woman to a torture rack mid-set, tossing raw meat into the audience or Blackie Lawless' own stupefying arrogance...
