W.A.S.P. - 22/23 July 2025, Dublin & Belfast

[Neuromancer]

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.
