W.A.S.P. Signed sawblade 1984

So we get tickets to see W.A.S.P's first u.k appearance at Nottingham's palais in 1984. A couple of weeks before the show my friend goes to the scrap yard and picks up two old rusty sawblades, cleans them up, spray paints them silver and hand paints the logo on them. One for me one for him...Chuffed!! We got to meet Wrathchild before the show started to get one side signed but we were the last men standing [waiting around for hours after the show...] for W.A.S.P. to come out, They eventually emerged from the back doors of the Palais and we were lucky enough to get Blackie,Randy and Chris to sign the blade's. They were pretty stocked that my friend had made them.
I was well chuffed I even got in the venue as I was only 14 at the time. Such a killer show!!
I can still remember the big line of Christian protesters outside the venue handing out leaflets and urging us not to go inside and watch the band!!! haha...
Anyways, Here is the signed sawblade which I have kept with me for all these years...Hope you like it.

Brilliant idea your friend had, maybe you should take it to Blackie if he ever come to England again and see if he remembers anything!!!

One of a kind, no doubt :D

Saw them in 2011, and they can still do it!
