W.A.S.P. - The Great Misconceptions Of Me (Live Donington '92) Lyrics
Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
A privileged invitation to the last rights of me
Mama you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see
Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million
I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free
I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free
I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy
The strap on my back
Red, crimson red, no I was never to be
Only one crimson son, no it never was me
Living in the limelight little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
With these six-strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide
Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the imposter, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free

Fucking unreal !!!!!
This song is a fucking aberration to sing. Blackie fucked up his vocal chords for shure in this show. Veeeery difficult.
blame nirvana.
Got to be the best ever I was there with Dave Higson Daz Taylor John Quayle & myself made up the possy .It was our first monsters of rock Blackie rocks
This one will be played in my funeral
Quel putain de morceau !!!!
The same guy who is now playing in WASP, Doug Blair
If Johnny Rod were any cooler in this song Blackie would have to stop him from stealing the show. He'd have to crack him upside the cranium with that Dukes of Hazard guitar of his. Those guys singing together are unbelievable.
Doug Blair
Who is the guitarrist with the double-necked?
Not everything! Blackie is on tour, and still perfect.
The Crimson Idol is a classic
Could you upload whole gig, please? PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!!
Long live the metal era 1980-1995..
Then it all goes wrong..
@jemhadarsoldier The Headless Childred was indeed a great album. I just can't put it in the same category as The Crimson Idol. This was Blackies first attempt at a concept album that was absolutely incredibly done. The story is timeless and realistic at the same time. I think I have to cast my vote for The Crimson Idol as best WASP album of all time. The Headless Children; however, runs a very, very close second!
I was there, just waiting for Slayer n' Maiden.
@joseenriqueof Blackie is just one of the best voices ever
Blackie is amazing! Wonderful! Perfect!
I love you Blackie! You are my God, my king, my life!
@ColdSpring1984 definitely YES...
Blackie Lawless , my idol , my king , my god , my life ! no blackie , no life
Where is Blackie's B.C. Rich Warlock?
The way Blackie sings on this ones is just amazing
@ColdSpring1984 Err bit late on the reply but you are 100% right there , i am trying to learn the tracks on my guitar at the moment and they are all high quality stuff.....
The crimson idol evolucionó mi cerebro rock en un momento de la vida
my kids are gonna grow up on 80s metal/hard rock and the 80s metal artists' modern stuff
He will be one lucky kid
@xXLoveThisMoonlightX is the recent guitarist Doug Blair,he joined WASP for a short time in 1992.He rejoined the band in 2001 as an early replacement when Holmes left and Blackie hired him officially in 2006
I loved this set..
It was a great day and one of the best line up of bands I've witnessed at Donington park.
Iron Maiden
Skid Row
Slayer
Thunder
Wasp
The Almighty.
Johnny Rod was on fine form with his He-Man hair. lol
@ xXLoveThisMoonlightX his name is Doug Blair,he's on "Dominator" and "Babylon"
@xXLoveThisMoonlightX I´m not sure if Blackie´s crying but the brown hair guitarist is Doug Blair!
awesomeee!!!!!
The best band ever.The best vocalist ever.Te best music ever.
stupenda...*.*
I dont' wanna be...The crimson idol of million eyes....
stupenda...*.*
I dont' wanna be...The crimson idol of million eyes....
Johnny can do such excellent backing vocals. Since he left, they use a backing track live for the vocals, which is fine. It's just backing vocals, everything else is live. But johnny had a great range for the high harmonies.
where the hell i can find this complete concert video???????????
Blackie is the greatest song writer of the heavy metal history! and a great fucking voice too! i saw them both in the Crimson Idol European tour (withc first show was my town :D ) and the Beast of Babylon tour and they were fucking mind blowing!
i was there way back in 92 i only live 10 miles from there wasp are the greatest band in the world
What a wonderful song!
уже невытягивает))
Great song!!!!!!
You spelled it wrong. It's "The Great Misconceptions Of Me", not Misconception :p
Other than the correction, i LOVE this song, and i LOVE W.A.S.P. !!
