The Last Command, W.A.S.P.'s second album, landed on Capitol in 1985, and for a producer Blackie Lawless and company went to Spencer Proffer, the man behind Quiet Riot's multi-platinum Metal Health. It's glossy shock rock straight off the Sunset Strip, the snarl polished up for radio without losing the grime.
Some of it was already old: "Running Wild in the Streets" was a Proffer song that had been demoed by others first, "Sex Drive" dated back to Lawless and Randy Piper's earlier band Sister, and "Cries in the Night" was reworked from a 1976 single by the Killer Kane Band, which Lawless once fronted. It was the first W.A.S.P. record with drummer Steve Riley and the last with founding guitarist Piper. "Blind in Texas" became one of their best-loved songs, the album reached number 49 on the Billboard 200 early in 1986, and it went gold in 1998.
