W.A.S.P. is an American heavy metal band formed in 1982. They emerged from the same Los Angeles scene that spawned Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Quiet Riot and others.
The band was a prominent target in the mid-1980s of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) led by Tipper Gore, wife of then-Senator Al Gore (D-TN), an organization that pushed for warning labels on recorded music.
The band immortalized its fight with the PMRC on the song "Harder, Faster" from their 1987 live album, Live...In the Raw.
The original lineup of W.A.S.P. was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1982 by Blackie Lawless, Randy Piper, Rik Fox, and Tony Richards. The band became notorious for its raunchy and, at times, shocking live shows.
********************************
Hair Nation A-Z is an easy series of caches along KY 3 between Prestonsburg and Inez honoring those unforgettable(?) 80's heavy metal bands with even more unforgettable hair.
The highway is generally not heavily traveled, but can be very busy at times. There is plenty of parking room near each cache so be sure to get your vehicle completely off the road and use extreme caution when exiting and entering the highway.
If you have children with you, make sure you keep an extra eye on them.
Have fun and Rock on.
