You're almost entirely wrong on the story there. I think William's logic was more that the Crimson Idol was more of a Blackie Lawless solo album, which it was originally intended to be. It wasn't "pretending", it was genuine work, but it was Lawless' work instead of the entire bands'. In fact, Lawless really rules that band after Holmes left. Last Command definitely is one of the more "core" WASP albums, but The Crimson Idol is undoubtedly their best work. To each their own, I guess.

SUGGEST ME AN ALBUM - I'm probably not going to listen to it but I will if you bother me enough.
