| 3 | During a W.A.S.P. concert, his famous “Cock Rocket” exploded and set his legs on fire. |
| 4 | Blackie wrote and performed “Scream Until You Like It”, the theme song for the 1987 gore-comedy Ghoulies II (1988) with his band W.A.S.P., but interestingly, he doesn’t appear credited in any of the music for that film on the IMDB. |

| 6 | He replaced Johnny Thunders in New York Dolls when he was 18 years old. |
| 7 | W.A.S.P.’s controversial first single “Animal” was considered offensive and therefore was not included on the album, as it would have meant it being banned from major chain stores. Capitol Records, W.A.S.P’s then-record company, planned to release it as a single only in Europe, in a black plastic bag with a sticker warning of offensive lyrics. At the last minute, Capitol backed out and the single was salvaged when it was later released by “Music For Nations” in its original sleeve in April of 1984. |
