Album ONE Alive!" marks the 40th anniversary of the release of W.A.S.P.'s first album. To celebrate this classic metal album, W.A.S.P. will, for the first time in 40 years, play the entire album from top to bottom, start to finish.

I'd say no. Plenty of vocals piped through the PA. Wouldn't bother with them again myself

there is a seated section at the back and sides, it's a grand venue, you can sit or stand and change no problem

Is it still cuntish to get back into town after? Few of the lads were saying it was a bit of a pain when they were at the wrestling a few times.

Was it just me or were the lights way too bright last night? Two songs into W.A.S.P. and I got a migraine after being blinded one too many times. I spent the rest of the night in the car hoping it would pass so I could drive home.

Brutal. Definitely get yer eyes checked for that. Some of those LED setups can be rough as fuck.

Lights were fine in Belfast - I was about 5-6 rows from the front, so maybe venue related?

Thought the gig was decent - first album start to finish was awesome, encore was a bit ropey - but probably just that later material! Wild Child was good though, felt that after the medleys they'd lost a bit of steam. I ducked out just as Wild Child finished.

Bit mechanical in places and Blackie's chat was sleep inducing - but glad i've seen 'em now. Shame it wasn't a weekend night, feel like the weekend energy would have made it a better gig. Guitar sound was lacking a little punch, given the depth of the drums (maybe venue though?!) and any idea how much them boys are relying on samples to beef out the vocals?! The backing vocals were a little too perfect at times! overall well worth the money, but likely not rush back to see them.

A ridiculous amount. I seen them once a few years back - glad I did but there's so much vocals and other stuff piped through the PA - Although it was a fun gig  I probably wouldn't bother seeing them again.
