W.A.S.P. To Release 'Reidolized (The Soundtrack To The Crimson Idol)' In February

This year marks the 25th anniversary of "The Crimson Idol" — the legendary story of Jonathan Aaron Steele, which was originally intended to be accompanied by a movie, with several hundred hours of film that were shot to create approximately 60 minutes of movie footage. The album is still considered to be the best of W.A.S.P.'s career, and one of the greatest concept albums of all time. It undoubtedly belongs in every metalhead's record collection.

Napalm Records now proudly presents "ReIdolized (The Soundtrack To The Crimson Idol)" , the 25th anniversary of the iconic hit album plus the original "The Crimson Idol" movie on DVD and Blu-ray. For the first time ever as originally intended — film and soundtrack united and released as one special product. The product will also feature four missing songs that were originally intended to be part of the original "The Crimson Idol".

"ReIdolized (The Soundtrack To The Crimson Idol)" will be released worldwide on February 2, 2018 via Napalm Records.

CD1 track listing:

01. The Titanic Overture02. The Invisible Boy03. Arena Of Pleasure04. Chainsaw Charlie (Murders In The New Morgue)05. The Gypsy Meets The Boy06. Michael's Song07. Miss You08. Doctor Rockter

CD2 track listing:

01. I Am One02. The Idol03. Hold On To My Heart04. Hey Mama05. The Lost Boy06. The Peace07. Show Time08. The Great Misconceptions Of Me

"The Crimson Idol" tells the twisted tale of a suicidal rock and roll icon and the perils that come with fame. With guitarist Chris Holmes no longer a member of W.A.S.P., Blackie Lawless recorded "The Crimson Idol" with guitarist Bob Kulick and drummers Stet Howland and Frankie Banali. Voted one of the Top 20 conceptual albums of all-time by Metal Hammer magazine, "The Crimson Idol" is obviously more of a soundtrack than, say, a straight rock 'n' roll album.

Issued internationally in 1992, "The Crimson Idol" was not made available in the United States until 1993 and it gave W.A.S.P. the band's first U.S. radio hit single with "Hold On To My Heart". Ironcally enough, it was the way Capitol Records handled the push (or lack thereof) on "Hold On To My Heart" that made Blackie decide to leave the label.

"The main theme of 'The Crimson Idol' which is a haunting acoustic guitar riff was in a [pre-W.A.S.P. band] SISTER song called 'What I Am'," Blackie said. "I've always been very economical with my songwriting. If something wasn't working out I'd scrap it. But if something was a good idea but not ready, or didn't quite fit what we were doing at the time, I'd go back to it later and re-work it."

During an interview with RIP magazine, Lawless had this to say about the album: "'The Crimson Idol' is an enormously complicated story. There are ten songs on it and each one is a euphemism for something else. Nothing on this album is really what it appears to be at first glance. Everything is a symbol for something else. The story was written from a satirical point of view. That means that wherever a person is at their life and whoever's viewpoint they're listening to in the story are going to determine the story they're going to get. If you're 18 and you listen to it, you're going to see one thing. If you go back and listen to it five or ten years later, you're going to get a completely different story. I didn't want to create fast food for the ears. I wanted something that I thought was going to have longevity."

Blackie also spoke about "The Crimson Idol" in a 2010 chat with Metal Asylum. He stated at the time: "'The Crimson Idol' was about a kid who was a musician and gets famous and all this stuff, and he finds out fame really isn't what he is looking for, but, really, 'Crimson Idol' is about love. It's a real simple story, and at the time when I did it, I thought it was more complex than it was. But looking back on it, you can see what it really boils down to, and I'm not diminishing the value of the album because it is real powerful. Part of the reason it worked is because its something everyone can relate to. Especially that whole idea of not getting what you want from your parents, or being loved in general; that's what struck a nerve in people. And at the time, I was almost writing it as a footnote, but when I look back, it was much bigger in the story than I gave it credit for."

Brazilian drummer Aquiles Priester made his live debut with W.A.S.P. at the opening show of the band's "Re-Idolized - The Crimson Idol 25th Anniversary World Tour" on September 25 at Trädgår'n in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Flaming

С этим альбомом отличная, но не гениальная рок-команда превратилась в третьесортную.
10 скучных песен в которых слышны почти плагиатные цитаты из Led Zeppelin, The Who и Pink Floyd.
А после этого альбома сочинялось разное шлачье, от более-менее съедобного, до совершенно невозможного.
Видимо Блэки сильно желал выступать в маленьких клубах, а не на больших аренах.
Ну что же, мечта осуществилась, вот только карьера закончилась.
Знак "ты - третьесортный" уже горел, вместо названия группы.

Ну а трибутить столь странную, и в общем здорово неудачную пластинку, при этом не особо замечая свою действительно неординарную The Headless Children - вот уж не знаю...

В октябре альбом уже начали продавать в цифровом виде на амазоне, были 30-секундные превью каждого трека, но через пару дней лавочку прикрыли. Странная ситуация

Flaming, что ты несешь? Это их лучший альбом по всем статьям, да и один из лучших альбомов в рок музыке заодно. Цитаты Пинк Флоида и The Who откуда ты высрал я вообще не понял. Про неудачную пластинку прям анекдот. Ладно там тебе она не нравится, видишь какие-то минусы, но неудачная? Популярность данного альбома видел? Всегда в тройке лучших у группы, выше твоего Headless Children. Завязывай с наркотой кароч.

Idol альбом довольно хороший.
Но The Headless Children это бриллиант в их дискографии.

Reflection

Flaming, с тобой все в порядке? С самого анонса переиздания ты оставляешь одни и те жи по содержанию комменты в новостях. Не слишком сильно распереживался за этот "третьесортный" альбом?
