History Music / WASPBand

* CreatorBreakdown: ''Kill, Fuck, Die'' was as dark as it was at least partially because Lawless and Holmes had both just gotten out of bad relationships and were quite a bit worse for wear.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Capitol Records left out "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)" from the debut album to ensure it's selling.
** Snapper Music released The Sting (live album made from a experimental gig shown in the internet) without Blackie Lawless' consent.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Blackie Lawless was one of the candidates to play T-1000 in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', but he was too tall to get the role.

* FunWithAcronyms: Band's name is a memorable example. However, two out of six of the songtitles are actual acronyms; those being "D.B. Blues" (Douchebag Blues) and "Rebel in the F.D.G." (Rebel in the Fucking Decadent Generation). Other two are {{Spelling Song}}s ("L.O.V.E. Machine" and "B.A.D."), one is a phone number ("9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.") and one is a case of XtremelyKoolLetterz ("X.T.C Riders").

* NewSoundAlbum: Starting with ''The Headless Children'', they switched from singing mostly about being a badass and havling lots of sex, and began writing about more serious social and political themes. Aside from the IndustrialMetal influences on ''Kill, Fuck, Die'' and the throwback ''Helldorado'', they've continued with it to this day.

* NewSoundAlbum: Starting with ''The Headless Children'', they switched from HairMetal to straightforward Music/HeavyMetal, and began writing about more serious social and political themes. Aside from the IndustrialMetal influences on ''Kill, Fuck, Die'' and the HairMetal throwback ''Helldorado'', they've continued with it to this day.
