  • A View From Across The Pond: W.A.S.P & KK’s Priest (Rich Piva)

    W.A.S.P & KK’s Priest, Peabody Auditorium, Daytona Beach, FL, 23.09.26



    I don’t get a ton of cool shows that are an hour or less of a drive away for me, so when WASP announced a “hits” tour in Daytona, with KK’s Priest no less, the 70 minute trek up 95 was going to happen. It’s not that I have ever loved W.A.S.P; they have always been a band I enjoyed, but nothing in their discography is ever going to be on my top lists, but the hits are the hits, and the band at this point has legend status, so yeah, I am going (thanks to the boss for making this happen).

    I am way more of a Priest than W.A.S.P fan, normally Judas, but KK’s will work in this case just fine. K.K. Downing can still rip it up, as evident during the hour-long set, consisting of two thirds classic Priest and the rest some KK’s Priest (7) originals. The band was tight, I have never seen Ripper live and he sounded great, and of course, KK. 

    Who is not going to love opening the set with You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’–Breaking The Law–Living After Midnight? I have not spent enough time with the original KK’s Priest stuff, but when you start that way, then go into the trio of Beyond The Realms Of Death–The Sentinel–Victim Of Changes what more could you ask for. This was a fun set and had the potential to overshadow the W.A.S.P set that I have heard whispers about. Fun times.

    The W.A.S.P (7) show was way better than I expected. I heard things on past tours about lip syncing, backing tracks, political and religious rants, but this show was straight up “play the hits Blackie”, with only the Jesus-y song Golgotha as part of the encore that even hinted towards anything like that. The set was fun, and for a more casual fan you certainly heard all the ones you would want to. 

    I have always loved their cover of The Real Me, and it was cool hearing live, as well as the biggies like Wild Child and I Wanna Be Somebody. The band sounded great, Blackie almost too great, but hey, what more can you ask for at this point. The stage show with the three screens worked as well as the usual Blackie set up. My favorite part of the set was the aforementioned The Real Me into The Headless Children, another track I have always loved.

    Overall a fun and entertaining show. The venue is one I have not been to before, and the sound was a tad muffled, but I would certainly go back and check out other shows there, even if this old ass didn’t get home until after midnight. Livin’ after indeed. With the time and the trip to see these legendary performers for what may be the last time for me.

  • Watch Dave Grohl join AC/DC on stage in New Jersey for performance of Highway To Hell

    Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl enjoyed what he will surely count as a dream moment when he was invited to join AC/DC on stage this weekend.

    The Foos frontman and former Nirvana drummer was welcomed to the stage at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on Friday night (October 2) as AC/DC thrilled the audience on the latest date of the band’s Power Up tour.

    Having already performed a support slot with his own band on the night, Grohl joined the headliners for a performance of their classic track Highway To Hell, playing guitar and adding backing vocals.

    AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson told the audience: “A very good friend of ours asked us tonight if he could come and join us up on stage for Highway To Hell.

    “And we said, ‘yes, Dave, you can.'”

    As Grohl took to the stage, Johnson added: “Isn’t music brilliant?”

    The performance can be viewed below.

    Last month, Foo Fighters opened for AC/DC in St. Louis, before which Grohl spoke of his adoration of the rock giants,

    He said: “It’s safe to say that if it weren’t for this band, and their decades of timeless anthems, I surely would have approached my life in music from a different perspective.

    “So, if you have ever seen me beat the living s*** out of a drum set, or run from side to side of a stage drenched in sweat after hours of hammering my guitar to pieces, you’ll now understand why.

    “All I have ever wanted was to someday live up to the awe inspiring fury of AC/DC, live onstage – an impossible task, by the way.”
