During a conversation with Cassius Morris, W.A.S.P.’s Blackie Lawless opened up about the band’s former guitarist, Chris Holmes, being asked if he has seen Holmes’ documentary “Mean Man: The Story Of Chris Holmes”.

Regarding this, Lawless said:

“I have no desire to see anything that has to do with that. First of all, you wanna base anything you’re gonna do in life on truth. And you know what? It may be his truth, but your truth doesn’t necessarily make it fact. Anybody can have their own truth, but that doesn’t make it real. And when somebody’s spewing a bunch of hate because they can’t create on their own…

”Listen, if the guy had genuine creativity, he wouldn’t give two hoots about what I do. So, that’s the yardstick on how you judge those things. And if somebody’s coming from a perspective where they’re not telling the truth, I’m not gonna waste my time on that.”

Asked about the reason he was not invited to take part in Holmes’ documentary, Blackie Lawless replied:

 “Well, I don’t recall being invited, but if I would have, I wouldn’t have done it. Like I said, I’ve got no desire to do something… I mean, if it’s based on truth, then I might have taken a look at it.

”But for a guy to do a tutorial for an hour, or however long it was, to sit and give just their side of the story that’s not based on truth, why do I wanna be part of that?”
