METAL Q & A W.A.S.T.E. NOT, W.A.S.P. NOT
This month we talked to Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. instead. Blackie takes us from his stint with the re-formed New York Dolls to his eventual welldeserved fame with W.A.S.P. with the outspoken candor we’ve come to expect from him.

Editor’s note: As you know, Metal Rock ’N’ Roll is always pleased to present an unexpurgated, verbatim, virtually unedited interview with the most exciting, witty, urbane, downright interesting musicians around.
This month we talked to Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. instead. Blackie takes us from his stint with the re-formed New York Dolls to his eventual welldeserved fame with W.A.S.P. with the outspoken candor we’ve come to expect from him. As for us, we show our superhuman restraint by once again refraining from editorial comment. Heee.

You were in the New York Dolls, right? About five minutes.
Yeah, but y’know, Blackie, lemme tell you something. Do you feel it’s really kind of shameless for you to say you were in the New York Dolls?
I’m not saying I was part of the band. You weren’t in the Thunders’ Dolls— Well I did some, I did some gigs with them.
But your record company hype says—
That’s their hype, man. Y’know?
Well, I just wonder if you endorse it. You think that’s cool?
