- Since becoming a Reborn Christian, Blackie has disowned W.A.S.P.'s debut release "Animal (I F**k Like a Beast)", vowing never to play it live again.
- Apart from being a musician, Lawless can be seen in Can't Stop the Music (1980), a musical about The Village People, and in the 1985 fantasy/horror film The Dungeonmaster. He also had a cameo role related to the 1984 movie This Is Spinal Tap; he appeared in a mock commercial celebrating the release of the Spinal Tap recording.
- Lead singer Blackie Lawless was actually in a band with Mötley Crüe's bassist Nikki Sixx before forming W.A.S.P. Nikki Sixx was supposedly thrown out of Blackie's band because he was unwilling to follow Blackie's orders.
- As part of the W.A.S.P. stage performance, Blackie mounts a demonic-looking metal sculpture called "Elvis" that doubles as a microphone stand.
- Lawless is of Blackfoot Native American ancestry. His mother - a professional dancer - was part French and part Native American.
