Check out Alex Skolnick's latest blog entry about an encounter with Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. -- thought it was pretty funny

Pretty funny, and he has some pretty good insight there as well.

Never liked the music of W.A.S.P. myself. The 3 or 4 albums I had have long been sold.

Wouldn't expect anything less of Blackie. Love W.A.S.P., but the guy definitely still has a huge ego. W.A.S.P. wouldn't be the same without it though.

My guitar teacher met Blackie about 20 years ago, and said he was actually a pretty nice guy.

Look if you are going to get up on stage with a sawblade between your legs and Chris Holmes is your lead guitarist, you better have an ego the size of Mount Rushmore.

True.

Also, I found it odd that Skolnick mentioned Steven Tyler and Roger Daltry as rock royalty (which I agree with) and then said what band they're from. If they are rock royalty, you shouldn't have to say that. I don't know, it just struck me odd. Peace.

I've never been much a WASP fan either, but it's cool that Alex is still acknowledging Blackie as being kinda not a douche. Really, I found his thoughts on Michael Jackson's death right below this entry much more interesting.

i like Blackie & WASP. i could care less about Skolnick. Testament was better without him.

Remember, it's just one man's views. Alex seems thoughtful.

WASP rules and SkolDick should have his mouth sown shut. What a douche.

Alex didn't have the balls to let his first post stand after he met Blackie in person.

Blackie is high on my wish-I-could-meet-him list. Skolnock isn't even on it!

I like Skolnick a lot better than Blackie. This isn't the first time i've heard about Blackie being an jerk either.

Actually I found both blogs on Blackie to be an interesting read.

I met Chris Holmes once, he was too smurfed up to say anything and really just drooled, said something in gibberish fell off the stool and got carried out, pretty much the most disappointing band encounter Ive ever had.

He would get along great with Ozzy.

Anyone seen Chris Holmes lately? He was on some VH-1 show about the girls on Sunset Strip. He looks like he's missing teeth or something and looked really bloated and puffy. Kinda scary looking. Guess the years of abuse are starting to catch up with him.

Haha, I like the updated post about Blackie... and how Manowar's insane backstage demands make him seem like "a pussycat" in comparison

So Blackie is awesome becuase he's an @s$h0le and Skolnick sucks because he recounted his encounters w/ Blackie?
