 (4 Customer Reviews)
Music critics have always pointed out the similarities between theatrical rockers Kiss and W.A.S.P. -- Blackie Lawless' and Gene Simmons' blood spewing, makeup and costumes, high-decibel rock, and so on. (Ace Frehley even produced W.A.S.P.'s first demo!) Kiss used the live album format for their big commercial breakthrough, 1975's classic Alive!, and W.A.S.P. hoped the same would happen for them with 1987's Live...In the Raw. While it didn't work out that way, it served as a worthwhile document of the band' s live show -- but the biggest problem is that W.A.S.P. concerts always relied mainly on visuals. Still, the band offers heavy versions of such fan favorites as "L.O.V.E. Machine," "Wild Child," "I Wanna Be Somebody," "Blind in Texas," "I Don't Need No Doctor," and "Sleeping (In the Fire)." Also included is a live version of a previously unreleased original, "Harder Faster," as well as the soundtrack-only studio cut "Scream Until You Like It" (from Ghoulies II). ~ Greg Prato
Recorded live at the Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, California.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The Epitome of WASP
This Cd is a must have for any true WASP fan. I had this on cassette for years but that pales in comparison to the Cd. Both in Quality of the sound, not to mention the 4 additional tracks. This Cd is a rare Gem. WASP is a band ment to be experienced "Live in the RAW"!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great album, but NOT live
This album rocks, but it's definitely not live. I talked to Steve Riley (ex-WASP drummer) once after a show & he admitted it was "heavily doctored" in the studio. Either way it's a solid record, but don't think for a minute it's all live.

Purchase Live In The Raw CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | W A S P Still Not Black Enough CD (1996) Remastered
Live In The Raw
 $9.99   
Still Not Black Enough is the second and last record employing well-traveled hired gun Bob Kulick while guitarist Chris Holmes was out of the fold. Between him and percussionist Frankie Banali, it's not surprising that this and the preceding Crimson Idol seem more like Blackie Lawless solo discs, and his vision for the band took W.A.S.P. away from their shock rock foundation to a more thoughtful and nearly ...

Live In The Raw
$9.99
In the liner notes that Blackie Lawless wrote for Dying for the World, W.A.S.P.'s founder/lead singer angrily declares, "F*ck political correctness; that went down with the World Trade Center." Of course, being politically correct is something that Lawless has never been accused of. Back in the '80s, his over-the-top antics offended people of all political persuasions. Lawless always loved to be shocking -- Alice ...

| | Transzenders Sunny Side Up CD (2006)
Live In The Raw
$17.69
The Transzenders are an acoustic rock trio, set to release their first full-length CD, SUNNY SIDE UP. Rich harmonies, solid rhythms and unique song structures are the cornerstones of this 12-song collection, while shimmering guitars and well-crafted lyrics add the appropriate spices. Whether performing an original song or a unique version of a cover song, Transzenders music creates a mood and mindset that is positive and upbeat.The common thread in all Transzenders songs is lyrical, rather than stylistic. The group soars with songs that are meaningful, rejuvenating, and just plain fun. Listeners will recognize musical influences that range from Beatles to Bluegrass, and Tom Waits to Booker T and the MG's. Attending a live performance makes one thing certain: no matter how you feel at the beginning of the show, you will leave feeling better.The group is made up of Gregg Bockover (vocals, guitar, and harmonica), Letha Costin (vocals, bass and percussion), and Miles Costin (vocals, acoustic and electric guitar). Their well-blended harmonies, dynamic musical arrangements and amazing guitar solos weave a rich fabric that pulls in the listener.Gregg BockoverGregg Bockover is the founding member and primary lead vocalist of Transzenders. From his strong rock/blues rumbles to far-out falsetto, Gregg is the most vocally diverse member of the group. His vocal style allows the group to stretch into a wide range of musical genres. Gregg is also a prolific songwriter; his lyrical creations portray vivid imagery, tell great stories, and relay very bold messages. Gregg's solid rhythm guitar is an anchor for the group... but don't be surprised when he takes off on a wild guitar solo.Letha CostinLetha Costin was surrounded ...

$7.59 | | Discharge Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing CD (1982) (Import) Import; Canada
Live In The Raw
$18.25
A punk rock landmark if ever there was one, Discharge's Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing is one of the most bleak, angry albums to ever grace the underground. The album is important on all sorts of levels, from what it did to the British hardcore scene to the long-lasting effect it had on heavy metal. And the worst part is that time has slowly erased the album from the minds of punk rockers, although the heavy metal tendencies of the band had always made them outcasts in their own scene. But this is the real thing, filled with bitter tirades against the government and predicting all-out nuclear destruction with chilling detail. The unrelenting pound of the music would create a huge movement in the hardcore world, starting first in their own country where bands like the Exploited would bring the metal sound into their music. Within a few years, bands like D.R.I., Agnostic Front, Stormtroopers of Death, and Suicidal Tendencies would make similar metal-flavored punk in the States. On the other side of the spectrum, the brutal chugging of the guitars would be a huge influence on the developing thrash metal scene. Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer were ...
