Blackie Lawless, frontman of W.A.S.P., discusses new material for the band's upcoming album, describing it as uneven but containing breathtaking moments, while also addressing topics such as AI in music, the PMRC controversy, and his upcoming autobiography, which he says diverges from typical rock memoirs. The band, alongside KK’s Priest, is set to tour North America in 2026, debuting the new song 'Mr. Cool' live. Lawless reflects on past conflicts with former guitarist Chris Holmes and the band's legacy in the 1980s metal scene.
