This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
In the heavy metal rockumentary The Decline Of Western Civilization Pt. 2: The Metal Years, there’s a pathetically hilarious scene of W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes swigging vodka from a huge bottle and babbling incoherently as he floats in his leathers in a pool — while his humiliated mom looks on.
All of that pales next to this two-CD chronicle of the band’s crazed, Kiss-meets-Alice road show (Microphone stands with Harley handlebars! Metal codpieces that shoot sparks! Guzzling blood from skulls!). But while the fan faves are all here, from I Wanna Be Somebody to Blind In Texas, there’s something missing: The video. With a show like this, W.A.S.P. deserve their own rockumentary. Just keep Chris out of the pool.
