SUMMARY:W.A.S.P. - 1984 TO HEADLESS with SPECIAL GUEST KK'S PRIEST
DESCRIPTION:W.A.S.P.: Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love\, the hate\, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning\, in the small venues of Los Angeles California\, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live\, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations\, Local City Councils\, Parliaments\, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played. The band’s founding member\, frontman Blackie Lawless\, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual\, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades. Hear favorites including “I Wanna Be Somebody\,” “L.O.V.E. machine\,” “Blind In Texas\,” ” Wild Child” and so many MORE! \nKK’s Priest: You can’t keep a heavy metal legend down… Although it’s been over a dozen years since guitarist and songwriter K.K. Downing departed Judas Priest\, the iconic band he co-founded and played with for 40 years\, he was never really going to retire. It was only a matter of time before he reclaimed the spotlight. K.K. Downing has had metal coursing through his veins from the beginning\, starting in the Midlands region of England where Judas Priest was born. He compellingly chronicled his life odyssey in his 2018 autobiography\, and his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame further secures his legacy as a pioneering musician\, songwriter and guitarist.\nAs a founding member of the classic Judas Priest line-up\, Downing helped lay the foundation for the heavy metal genre as a whole. His distinct style of playing is easily identifiable\, he was part of a six-string duo that complemented and contrasted each other\, and they would progress to new levels of excitement. He has taken that ethos and applied it to KK’s Priest with impassioned results. \nBuy Now

In 2001\, lamenting the heyday of hairbands\, Hairbangers Ball sought to rekindle the flame for these Gods of Rock by tapping into the nostalgic and undeniable energy of that bygone era. \nBuy Now\n​
