Play sample :
Blackie Lawless W.A.S.P. in the early 90’s who produced the concept album “THE CRIMSON IDOL” while being alone. The super-excellent live album that is too precious is now available.
What is recorded in this work is “October 2, 1992 Bonn performance”. It is the transcendental audience recording. “THE CRIMSON IDOL Tour” is unique in W.A.S.P. history. Both Chris Holmes and Frankie Banali have quit, and they will stop working after the end. In 1996, when they returned to the road, they both returned and were in a state of reunion. In other words, it was a tour that was separated from the front and back ties and was performed with a complete blackie solo system.
Of course, the content is a big feature of the masterpiece “THE CRIMSON IDOL”. Officially, only a few takes of MONSTERS OF ROCK were left as a bonus track, but this work is a full live album that can be the best “official substitute” to heal the dryness. First, let’s look back at the tour outline, which was a singular point in history, and confirm the position of the show.
“June” THE CRIMSON IDOL “released in Europe”
・ July 26-August 7: North America # 1 (4 performances)
・ August 15-22: Europe # 1 (4 performances) ← * Official Bonus Track
・ August 29-September 12: North America # 2 (8 performances)
・ September 26th-November 9th: Europe # 2 (30 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
・ November 11-14: Japan (4 performances)
This is the 1992 W.A.S.P. Although it is a tour, there are many mini-schedule of about 4 performances, and only “Europe # 2” was like a tour that repeats movement and stage like every day. The Bonn performance of this work is the fifth performance. It was a concert about a month before the last performance in Japan.
This work recorded at such a show has “super”, and it is also a superb audience recording that makes you want to line up with “super super …”. I mean, it’s hard to believe that this moment is really an audience recording as I write while listening to the actual sound. Actually, the masterpiece of WHITE LION’s masterpieces “BONN 1989 (Shades 1336)” and “BONN 1991 (Shades 1340)” has released that it was “recorded by myself”, so it is definitely a guest record. But anyway … You might think it’s awesome, but it’s easy to understand the sound of the game. Imagine a superb FM broadcast. Yes, that sound. It’s so “that’s right” that you don’t have to hang down the Noh writing about how the core sounds.
The miracle sound depicts a full show that overflows with the aesthetics of Blackie who created that wonderful “THE CRIMSON IDOL”. If you remember the performance in Japan, it will come to you, but it is not a reproduction of the “THE CRIMSON IDOL” story, but a normal concert format. Let’s organize the contents here.
● Classics (9 songs)
・ Majinden: L.O.V.E. Machine / Hellion / On Your knees / I Wanna Be Somebody
・ Last Command: Wild Child / Blind In Texas
・ Electric Circus: I Don’t Need No Doctor
・ Headless Children: The Real Me / The Headless Children
● Crimson Idol (5 songs)
・ The Invisible Boy ／ Chainsaw Charlie (Murders in the New Morgue) ／ The Idol ／ The Great Misconceptions Of Me ／ I Am One
… And it looks like this. The official live take of MONSTERS OF ROCK mentioned above was only 7 songs, but this work is more than double the full set. The suite “The Great Misconceptions Of Me” also depicts the poles of dramaticism for 11 minutes, which exceeds the original.
Along with QUEENSRYCHE’s “OPERATION: MINDCRIME” and SAVATAGE’s “STREETS A ROCK OPERA”, the HR / HM concept album is also the highest peak “THE CRIMSON IDOL”. It is an inevitable masterpiece that allows you to experience the tour in a superb way. As a matter of fact, even if it is an audience recording, it is a new masterpiece that acts as an “official substitute” regardless of such a thing. Please take this opportunity to enjoy it to your heart’s content!
★ A new masterpiece that acts as an official substitute for the “THE CRIMSON IDOL” era. It is a transcendental audience recording of “October 2, 1992 Bonn performance”. WHITE LION’s super masterpiece is a masterpiece collection that has attracted worldwide attention, but its sound is completely FM broadcast grade. It’s not “somehow radio-like” but “that manma”. The show is a wonderful rebirth of the legendary performance in Japan, and it is a marvelous new excavation where you can fully experience “THE CRIMSON IDOL Tour” which was officially heard only on 7 bonus tracks.
