1993

In May of 1993, Doug Blair (then fresh off his W.A.S.P. '92 world tour) was at a Society's Children show (another band I played with that year) @ the Sting in New Britain, CT. Following this performance, he approached me about filling Johnny Rod's shoes in W.A.S.P. Well, that's how I spent the summer/fall of that year, including a video shoot in Long Beach, CA in September. Doug, Stet and myself did a few gigs as "Practically W.A.S.P." on the East Coast (being that Blackie was missing!) and that was how we kept the material somewhat fresh in our minds, should we receive the call to hit the road...

W.A.S.P. Video Shoot - Long Beach, CA - September, 1993:

In a 16-hour video filming marathon, we shot a video for "Sunset & Babylon", which was a bonus track on the "First Blood, Last Cuts" best of CD that was released that year. We also shot footage for tracks from "The Crimson Idol" for a home video that was never released...
