Are you going to do a review of that WASP set?  I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it because I'm considering buying it.

I wasn't planning on reviewing it, but I can give you my thoughts. Blackie sounds great on this, as if it's 1992. The production is good with beefed up guitars and drums - what you'd expect from a modern album. Some of the lyrics are altered, but that didn't matter to me at all and unless you are a huge fan of this album I doubt you'd notice.

The additional songs are mostly useless - "Michael's Song" is a short instrumental, "Miss You" is recycled from Golgotha for some reason, "Hey Mama" is a sub-two minute song that is really just an intro to "The Lost Boy" which is pretty good, but I don't think it adds much to the story and finally, "The Peace" is another short instrumental.

The movie itself is pretty cool and while the music is the re-recorded versions of the songs, it's only the original tracklisting with none of the new tracks included. Blackie does the narration as Jonathan between the tracks.

The packaging is very nice - it's a massive, slip-cased digipak with a thick booklet with full lyrics as well as the entire story of Jonathan.

Overall, I'd say it's worth getting if you're a W.A.S.P. fan or a Crimson Idol fan. It's not really essential, but it's cool to finally see the movie after all these years.

Thanks!  Those are just the insights I was looking for.

I saw a title like "Glamunition" so of course I had to check it out.  Found the whole album on Youtube.  Only on the first song but for far I'm diggin' it.  This is the singer from Wig Wam right?

But WOW, that other one by him is just AWFUL!

EDIT: And after a little research I see those two Ammunition albums are his "new" band.
