Hold On To My Heart 10. The Great Misconceptions Of Me 5th studio album from American heavy metal act led by Blackie Lawless (SISTER, LONDON). Featuring Bob Kulick (SKULL, BLACKTHORNE, KISS) on guitars and Frankie Banali (QUIET RIOT, HEAVY BONES) on drums. Between 1990-1992, little was heard from one of the 80s' most theatrical metal band, W.A.S.P. Many assumed they'd broken up, especially when it became publicly known that the entire band had split from leader Blackie Lawless (the most surprising departure being longtime guitarist Chris Holmes). But the truth of the matter was that Lawless was hard at work the entire time, composing an epic concept album, 1993's "The Crimson Idol", which told the tale of a tormented rock star, Jonathan. Lawless handled rhythm guitar, bass, vocal, and keyboard duties himself, and renowned studio musician Bob Kulick filled in Holmes' vacated position, while a pair of drummers were used (including the drummer on "The Headless Children", QUIET RIOT's Frankie Banali). The songs weren't a radical departure stylistically for W.A.S.P., and since no original members were left, "The Crimson Idol" is essentially a Blackie Lawless solo album. The over 74-minute album contains such hard-hitting highlights as 'The Invisible Boy', 'Chainsaw Charlie (Murders In The New Morgue)', and 'I Am One'.     Details   Catalog Number: TOCP-6705 Quantity: 1 item(s) available Condition: M/M-/obi Price: $ 29.99   Add to Cart
