(Classic Rock) Former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes has hit out at Blackie Lawless in an interview with Finland's Seiska TV, saying the frontman tried to pay him less than he was worth.

In the interview, Holmes says he was the creative force behind WASP and that Lawless put him down as a session musician on contracts to avoid paying him his due.

"He wrote me down in the contracts on every album as a session player," says Holmes, "which means my name shouldn't even be on the records as a songwriter. But it is, because I'm a songwriter, but he wrote me down as a session player, meaning I just got paid salary."

Despite the bad feelings, Holmes wouldn't rule out the possibility of rejoining Lawless and WASP at some point in the future. More including a stream of the full interview here.
