I agree. I saw WASP on both tours with Piper and he was a huge part of the show. I still have those ticket stubs! Blackie should have stayed on bass or just added a third guitar.....but you know he would have never wanted to pay another salary. lol

Many years ago a much younger version of myself played a Cammo painted BC Rich Warlock. It was over the top on all levels. I remember the name Screaming Leaming on the back. The guitar played like nothing I'd ever touched, it left an impression on me. Now I know the significance of what it was, and I kick my ASS FOR NOT PAYING THE $800 THE SHOP WANTED. Yeah, a US made BC custom shop guitar, and I didn't buy it. It was probably 1988/87 and the shop was in Decatur Alabama.

I met Randy at a guitar show in Ohio super nice guy. I saw that guitar up close it looked pretty much as it is in this video. A friend of mine in Fla owned Chris Holmes Budweiser star and blood drip star. So there are some great WASP guitars in private collections. Back in the early 2000s I was deep into collecting BC Rich, San Dimas Charvels, San Dimas Jackson guitars. Had a few rare Roscoe guitars from the 80s one was Joe Perry's Dr Death guitar which was #1 of only 12 made.

I'm not sure if Screamin' Leemin' did the multicolored crackle paint job on my custom Warlock bass...🤔 However, the *original* 1982 lineup of WASP was Blackie, Randy, myself and Tony. Photos by Don Adkins are out there on the internet. Randy validated it in one of his interviews, so does Chris Holmes.
