They already posted it on W.A.S.P. Nation, but still...
Part 1:
Part 2:
There are some funny moments. Some guy even asked Blackie his opinion about W.A.S. Must take another look at it, though, 'cos I didn't really understand what the hell did some persons ask, lol.

some really funny moments there, together with the old ones.. old stories,same questions,same answers...well,i'd probably give the very same answers to those questions if i was asked..
but there are really some great moments like: - when the Greek guy asked him about W.A.S. - when another guy asked him about the '86 tour with Iron Maiden and he said something like that(please correct me if i'm wrong)
"... there would be times when,ya know,we would get bored with eachother and the band and i'd go stay on Steve Harris on his bus,sometimes Nicko'd come over and stay with Chris Holmes..and ya know it was a very incestuous* relationship goin on there..."
(not really sure about this word,but if it is that word then )
- and most importantly, when the lady asked him : -are you still a LOVE Machine? -(laughs,tells her to repeat what she asked) you'd have to ask my wife about that
his wife?
oh well

Yeah, I understood 'incestuous', too, on that one it was probably the only word I could clearly hear from that answer, by the way... I'll have to look at that part again, but I think you got it right

That was exactly my reaction, lol. I stood in front of the monitor and almost yelled: "WIFE?!" in the middle of the night [obsessed fan once again]makes me wondering if they're really married, or if he refers to his girlfriend as 'wife' since they've been together for very long, though. In any case, after the shock, I felt happy for him/them :oops:[/obsessed fan once again]

yeah, i think what he meant was that..i remember once a girl on some other board referred to one of his girlfrends his "road wife"..he didn't want to call his girlfriend a "girlfriend"(maybe just because they're both grown up people) and "wife" is the most suitable word for that,especially while giving an answer to that question
and yeah,i think we'll just have to wish him well, in any case
btw,he just looks so happy and positive about almost everything on that interview that it made me very happy..(well,maybe except for Obama,he still hates him ) one guy asked him about the cancellation in Brazil and he gave the most logical and sincere answer possible..once again i thought about the fans' cruel reactions to cancellations and went nuts of course,they wouldn't travel for hours for a gig and then cancel the show and turn back just because they want to..something went wrong for god's sake,is it that hard to understand?
edit: oh,also,he asked the Croatian guy about the World Cup(too bad they aren't on the WC just like Turkey,i really enjoy watching Croatia) would like to hear him talking about soccer more often

Yep, that's a good explanation
(By the way, kudos to the girl for asking the question that was just too damn hilarious )

Yep, there were so many bad reactions from fans at the time... as if W.A.S.P. members think it's fun to travel around the world and randomly cancel dates while being already on the place C'mon, if they didn't want to play the show at all, they would have been at home But I won't deny that I would have liked to see some official statements posted about the other cancellations, just like they did with the NY show. I don't say that Blackie should have been writing a personal letter to apologize for every single cancellation (just not ), but I think that having a few lines from anyone (web masters/managers/whoever) to clearly explain what happened would have avoided many problems, bad rumors and criticism =)

No more World Cup stories, please! I'm sick and tired of it! By the way, don't be sorry for Turkey not being at the World Cup. Serbia is there probably only because somebody has to be the last!
Serena, thanks for posting the interview. When was it made? It's not from 2009, is it? It's great. When I compare it to the earlier interviews, I think Blackie today is more natural and relaxed. In some previous interviews he looked a bit sedated or just too calm, maybe tired, I don't know ... Today he looks as a man who is truly self-confident and feels well being himself. It seems to me that the new, "Christian" way of life has done wonders for Blackie's mental stability.

But... but... the World Cup is about the only time when I finally get to seriously follow football, I love it :oops:
Anyway, you're welcome, dear... even if I didn't do much, really, just re-posted Blackie's Angel and Syn Burzy's finds at W.A.S.P. Nation the interview is from... yesterday I agree with you, anyway, that's good to finally find him happier and more relaxed. I remember watching interviews from 2007/2008 and I always thought he looked a bit sad... seeing him smiling again is just great

Oh, I see! They had a show in Sweden yesterday ...
Oh, and I think you shouldn't be worried about his wife or girlfriend or whatever she is because he's had who knows how many of them so far and who knows how many of them there will be in his life. I think Blackster simply likes women (and which man doesn't?!) After all, he's the Manimal! And about football ... er, I was kidding about what I said about football, of course. I know you like watching it. It makes sense, because Italy is the reigning World Champion and always plays well, but Serbia ... Well, it's entirely a different story, unfortunately.

hey,don't be so hard on your team,i like watching Serbia and there are some really talented players there like Vidic and Stankovic..with those stars,do you really think you'll be the last?
as for Turkey,i remind you that we were the 3rd in 2004 WC ( ) have some really talented players as well,but money and fame makes most of them blind,so there's the result !
i'll be watching the World Cup for Spain,Italy,Brazil and Argentina(as i always do) but i'm a football freak(like the rest of my family) so i'm watcing all the matches everyday
oh well,we were talkin about Blackie..how about a World Cup thread?

Hahah, actually, no worries at all sure he likes women, but I can only be happy for him and the girl if they manage to have a long term relationship.
(Yep, I'm a hopeless romantic and love long term relationships... when they're good ones for the persons involved, of course But... shhhhh, don't tell much around, I have a reputation to defend, lol. )

Aw, come on, as principia said, you have some pretty damn good players, too!
@ principia: now, that's a good idea! Go for the World Cup topic, so we can discuss there

The last or something like that, probably ... You're right about the fact that we have many great players, BUT ... A good team is not simply the sum of good individuals. A team is a mechanism and each part of it has to function perfectly if they want to make it. I'm afraid Serbia has the great players, but we don't have the team.

I only wanted to say that it really doesn't matter whether she is his girlfriend or his (legal) wife. He obviously abandoned the rock-star way of life and, thus, he's expected to have a steady relationship, not to bring home a different woman every other day. Besides, he's a Christian now and what kind of Christian would he be if he would have a girlfriend, not a wife at the age of 54?! Anyway, I really, really admire Blackie!

he is not a Christian NOW, he is a Christian since years....he said he was newborn at the age of 11....have great and careful look to his lyrics..; Blackie, like a lot of us, was feeling alone and lost in his spiritual life...maybe his life acted about that...sometimes, you don't have time to work on your sipituality, but it is there. maybe too he would not talk about because he is a very private man... i think something very important happened into his live, and helped him to understand that IT WAS HIS RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT.
when you look at Blackie's interviews on video, he is rarely relax, look how he is playing with his hands, or his hair...here he seems nicely cool, and i was happy to see him so...
i have received rumours he was married; i just hope this is true. i want him happy
