GWAR

Everyone knows about em. . . what's your opinion? Is it shitty music, elegant satire, or something serious?

Ever seen their live shows?

Call me retarded (you wouldn't be the first) but I own and enjoy:

Hell-o
Scumdogs of the Universe
America Must be Destroyed

I really like Hell-o, it grew on me and I pretty much like the whole thing. I have seen them live a few times and it is a fun show. I am gonna photograph them on saturday.

p.s. I never made it to In Flames, so no pics of that

Nice, post pics if they aren't too slime-covered.

I've never been to one of their shows, but I've seen video footage. Looks like Dante's Inferno with firehoses.

"now that the cosmic control tape is in my grasp .. this band will play anything I want them to, perfectly the first time through"

I had the original Hell-o casset before it was banned and then re-released. it's a true classic to be enjoyed by all. I saw Gwar in consert a while back and was not dissapointed. techno-destructo may no longer jump in the crowd and mosh through the last half of his song, but it was still a pretty amazing feat of theatrics.
is Gwar serious? .. I could only guess here, but they've been playing and recording non-stop for over ten years, so you tell me. When oderus was arrested and charged with indecent exposure (he has a 2 foot dildo/cod piece) he appeared in court in full costume and proclaimed that the prostetic was a cuddlefish and not a huge penis. that at leat shows dedication. or maybe it is stupidity. it's all "a-rockin' fuckin' roll. uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah!"

If I could burn a bunch of GWAR on one CD I think I'd go with:

Je M'Appelle J.Cousteau - my current favorite
Salaminizer - some of the lyrics to this song are stolen from NWA's Gangsta Gangsta
Ham on the Bone
Sexicutioner
Slaughterama
Saddam A-Go-Go
U Ain't Shit
Slutman City
GWAR Theme
Rock N' Roll Party Town
Welcome to New Jersey (X-COPS)
The Road Behind

The foam beside and a burly sea to ride
All spell goodness for the master of the whirling pimple tide
He tried and pried until the rusty hinges sighed
Then he stepped inside
He found her there swimming in her seaweed hair
Looking vaguely like a lover who had hung herself with underwear
Phosphorescent green and the sex act made obscene
In Jacques' galleon of hatred this wrinkled Frenchman is a
living god!!!

I was supposed to see them last night, but it was one of those nights where every single thing doesn't go right and youo finally just want to go home and sleep.

I have never owned a GWAR album, but I did hear some once when I was tripping. I thought it was absolutely the most mind-numbingly shocking lyrics I had ever heard. I was blown away by lyrics like:

I need the taste of dick on my lips.
I laid a line of coke on her hips,
and fucked her in the ass
with a piece of frozen shit.

Hilarious, but in my state of mind absolutely mind boggling. I think they are pretty damn cool though.
