W.A.S.P. "Wild Child (Single & Video)"

"Wild Child" is a single by American heavy metal band W.A.S.P. Written by Blackie Lawless and Chris Holmes, it serves as the intro track off their second studio album The Last Command and was released as the third single. The song charted at number 71 on the UK Singles Chart.

The music video starts off with vocalist Blackie Lawless riding a motorcycle on a desert highway. He then spots a woman wearing a red jumpsuit standing on a cliff-edge who disappears as soon as he sees her. The video then cuts to the band performing the song on the top of a cliff and concludes with Lawless encountering the woman again at nightfall, who again fades into thin air upon being seen by him. Lawless then rides his motorcycle through the path of her disappearance, leaving a trail of flames behind him.

The music video was directed by Rick Friedberg.

W.A.S.P. "The Last Command (2004 Reissue, Russia, Союз, SMMCD502)"

The Last Command is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released on October 25, 1985. The album was produced by Spencer Proffer, who was perhaps best known for producing the six-time Platinum selling album Metal Health by Quiet Riot in 1983.

The song "Running Wild in the Streets" was originally written by Proffer and demoed by Spectre General a.k.a. Kick Axe and Black Sabbath with Ron Keel before release on this album. "Sex Drive" was originally written by Blackie Lawless and Randy Piper's previous band Sister. "Cries in the Night" is based on a song called "Mr. Cool", released on a 1976 single by the Killer Kane Band where Blackie was a member at the time.

The Last Command is the first W.A.S.P. album to feature the work of drummer Steve Riley and the last album to feature founding member Randy Piper on guitar. The album reached No. 49 on the Billboard 200 album chart in early 1986. It was certified gold by the RIAA on June 4, 1998.
