Fbla II by Helmet , 1992 Meantime album . I bet not only the song but the whole album will make the playlist or ill eat my hamster! 32th try , love you guys , look this way!
So GWAR's premise is that they are supposed to be aliens from another planet who want to destroy the human race, which is the lead singer, Dave Brockie's way of being able to look at humanity from an outside perspective and express his feelings with how we treat each other, and all the bad stuff in the world. The band also has a great sense of humor and don't really take anything seriously, besides their masterful playing.
patrick miller you are correct in your assessment. they are one of my favorite bands because the music is undeniable. the don't get lost in any playing fad like trying to go 100 mph or it sounding like an in organized clusterfuck. always heavy, always a great groove.
TXpunx138 i’ve seen them live multiple times and the shows are so fun and energetic you can’t help but be hooked. Also if you’re near the front you’ll be covered in goo, spit, liquid, all sorts of stuff.
you forgot the part where they were sent to our planet to kill everything millions of years ago, and after wiping out the dinosaurs their boss decided they were a little to good at their job, and had to cause the ice age to put a stop to them until life had a chance to recover a bit.
I feel bad for any younger metal fans who never got a chance to see Gwar live before Oderus passed. Easily the best concert experiences I've ever had. I was legitimately upset when he died. I looked forward to seeing them every year when they rolled through town.
Gwar are LEGENDS in the metal community. Costumes or not, silly "origin" story or not, I've never seen or heard Gwar get anything but love and respect from metalheads. And their live experience was second to none. Good looking out for checking out Gwar, Free Thinkers.
You guys have completely ruined reaction channels for me, in that, I simply can't enjoy any other reaction channels. All the reaction channels I was subbed to before you I just can't watch anymore. You guys are so intelligent and sincere in the way you break music down and analyse it. You make everyone else look like morons.
Of Plagues they also pause the song. thats the main reason why i subbed. no other reaction channel actually pause the song. they sit their blanked face until the song ends or they talk over the song, missing things
7:37 - that was, indeed, what the live shows were like. You'd go into a GWAR show knowing you'd get splattered with something. Yes, GWAR was pretty cheesy - serving up colossal heaping helpings of ham-and-cheese was always their shtick, costumes and all, but then that sort of thing has been a "thing" in shock rock and metal music since at least the days of KISS and Alice Cooper. GWAR tends to make up for it with some blistering groove metal, for metal fans who are into that sort of thing (and really, there's nothing wrong with that!)
GWAR was on Geraldo back in the 90s and said they invented music millions of years ago by stretching dinosaur intestines between planets and strumming them.
Going to see GWAR is like going to see a live reenactment of a B grade horror movie. Over the top with fake blood and fake god knows what else. They kill things (sometimes gigantic things) on stage, drench the audience with fake blood, and usually feed a few audience members/key VIPs to a giant alien worm thing, and somehow manage to keep the level of musicianship and artistry high. Definitely one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Also, they're super tongue-in-cheeky. GWAR is how metalheads admit to having a sense of humor.
The NotSoGuitarGuy fuk'n A right! Self admitted by all of the members as a college student experiment to see just how vulgar they could be and get away with it and still make money doing it and guess what all these God damn years later they're still raking in the fucking dough
GWAR has always been one of those bands that transcends normal preconceptions of what metal should look or sound like. For good or bad, they have always been 110% unapologetically GWAR.
The chemistry ya'll have is fun to watch! Love the channel, keep killin it! GWAR is total theatric metal, how can anyone not laugh and have a good time watching this?! Keep pioneering the #freethinker movement!
I've seen them over 30 times in concert. And as far as it goes the music is second to the show. If you haven't seen them live with oderus you missed a great rock show.
Gwar has been one of my all time favorite bands for over 20 years. Their live shows are so fun and full of blood. Wear a white tee for a souvenir. Y’all need to check them out. The lyrics play off of their grand storyline of beings from outer space who come to slaughter the human race. It’s full of comedy and satire. Thank you! This made me smile and glad y’all loved it! Great song. They have so many.
I've seen Gwar twice in my life. I don't remember either time. First time a combination of exhaustion, dehydration, and intoxication resulted in me passing out with my upper body splayed out on the stage. Oderus Urungus was kind enough to piss on my face until I woke up, and promptly went and took a nap on the couch. The second time I took a steel toe boot to the temple. A crowd surfer failed to get sufficient height on his jump, and got spun around, and just fuckin' clocked me right in the head. I woke up on the same couch I napped on a year previous.
Whiskey Picker When I worked at the Webster Theatre in Hartford, GWAR gave everyone from security 1 piece of free merch. Dave handed me a t-shirt with the tour dates. It was their 25th anniversary tour.
Love the reaction to this. You wouldn't expect to get into GWAR, but their songs are mostly awesome and groovy as hell. One of the best metal bands in my opinion
Lmao those comments tho quality entertainment at its finest. I gotta say not a bad song from Gwar and the music video looked like some crazy gory Conan the barbarian type thing or something similar, the musicality was nice and my head was bumpin to the groove. Solid song from Gwar and dope reaction Lost In Vegas.
The video is definitely a representation of their live show. A common tradition for going to a Gwar show is you go with a plain white T shirt and then you hang it up after the show because you get splattered with all sorts of fake blood and other stuff. They're definitely a gimmicky band but they still have riffs and good music which sets them apart. Cool to see you guys doing a reaction for them!
FUUUUUUUUUCK YESSSSS!! these guys have been around mainstream since 89, the guitarist (Flattus Maximus) and the lead singer (Oderous Urungous) have since passed on. They have movies btw
I will never.....ever.... Forget the first time I saw Gwar live. I've been to hundreds of concerts...I've seen Legends, big names.... That Gwar concert still sits as one of the best live performances I've ever witnessed. I saw them in the mid 2000's..
First time I have ever seen a reaction to Gwar. Great job on keeping the free thinking 100. Gwar can be an acquired taste, but their live shows were undeniable.
"Is that how a live show is though? I wonder if they act like the effects of the blood splashing on the audience..." LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL GWAR
Also, for Amon Amarth, do Twilight of the Thunder God. I promise, and I believe the community will back me up on this, you will absolutely dig that song. It's far more representative to the largest part of their current sound.
Guys, this is great - I have known Gwar for about 25 years but never listened to a full album of theirs - just separate songs here and there. And now you, with this video made me search the album and play it whole. It is great, I love it. Thanks! Btw, I'd love to see your reaction to Life Of Agony - Through and Through. Especially Ryan with his love to groove and the transitions in songs. Cheers from Bulgaria!
I can understand why some people aren't into the costume thing. It comes off, to me, as a bit cringy. I've never heard a song from a band that "dresses up" that I enjoy and I think it's because they seem less focused on the instrumentation and lyricism of their music and more focused on the spectacle of putting on a show. Which is fine, but it's not for everyone.
Scream Bloody Gore, sure. Spiritual Healing!? That's their albsolute best, way better than that Prog Metal bullshit TSOP. Also, Death aren't even the best Death Metal band. Ever heard of Morbid Angel?
Found you guys tonight watching Chris Stapleton reactions and started following because of the respect for country music y'all have. Then I saw this. Y'all were introduced to my personal favorite Gwar song. Sadly y'all came to the band after the original lead singer and creator died. But they are definitely a huge part of metal for over 30 years.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Ace of Spades by Motorhead. A seminal band for influencing a whole movement of metal, and i've never met anyone who doesn't like that song
Huge, massive, giant long-time Gwar fan. Also a frequent viewer of your videos for the last few years. Can't believe I missed this one. Love Gwar, this would have put a smile on Dave's face for sure
I really really like that you will just pick someone at random & take their suggestion. That way you dont just get the radio friendly bands. I think the best metal don't get airplay it seems.
Worse, metal is passed over and is never given any consideration. Telling “non-metal” people what you’re into musically is the equivalent of telling people you’re a fan of professional wrestling. I’m not skeered to declare my love for metal, just sayin the reactions you get, especially from the ladies, they’re all like.... *crickets You know what, I like it that way. I don’t want metal to ever be accepted or popular. Keep it underground, keep it heavy and sometimes weird.
Symbolic by Death! Best drums and lyrics you'll have heard in metal so far. Song is about how we all reminisce about our childhood and it's even more powerful since Chuck died from a brain tumor years later. RIP CHUCK! He's the 2Pac of metal.
Everything you saw in the video is a Gwar concert. And yeah, the metal community LOVES Gwar. They are a perfect combination of silly and brutal and insane.
HPDre Almost deceptively so, at that. For a long time, people only thought of Gwar as a goofy novelty band because of their late 90s output, but the addition of Cory Smoot (RIP) made everybody being their A-game.
My first GWAR show I was twelve years old & it was on there Hell-O tour. At that point in my life it was the most awesome thing that I have ever seen. Now I've seen GWAR 22 times in five different states because they had a stage show like no other. I always wore a white shirt & stayed in the pit the entire show. I was a musical for the demented.
Awesome video you guys. I appreciate how open minded you guys are about different kinds of music, and I respect you for reaching out of your comfort zone.
Tool is supposed to have an album upcoming this year, so please revisit them! Might I suggest something off of 10,000 Days (you guys haven't hit this album yet)? Either "Vicarious" or "The Pot" would be epic! Both pieces have great lyricism, sweet bass lines, guitar riffs, and you know the drumming is on point! Looking forward to it! #livisthebest #freethinking
GWAR's live shows are INSANE. It's the craziest, bloodiest most metal puppet show ever. All of their instruments spray blood (and other fluids), not to mention the giant robots and celebrity effigy dismemberments (all of which spray blood). And, when Dave (the original singer) was alive... his alien phallus, the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu would spray blood.. so he was basically ejaculating blood in your face. Fans usually wear white T-shirts so they can save the "blood stained" shirts as mementos. So, yeah.. this band is a trip live. Many clubs won't book them due to the mess.
Gwar started out as an idea for a punk band(Death Piggy) doing a soundtrack for a science fiction horror movie featuring these characters called "Scumdogs Of The Universe". The band practiced in this old Dairy Warehouse , and across the hall was an art student who is making costumes for his movie. And one night the band wore the costumes on stage, and people loved it. 30 years later, they're still wearing the costumes on stage and the movie has still yet to be made. It was an accidental, genius idea. They struggled to make it work at times, but overall you can't argue with results.
Amalgam80 its one of those special things. You could drive past a concert hall and immediately know its a GWAR show because the whole line is just people wearing white. Its kinda cool when you know its not a "rally
And that white shirt will officially become a GWAR tour t-shirt. I have a denim jacket that I bring to every metal concert I attend that's never been washed and still bears the stains of the GWAR concert I went to like, 8 years ago.
Recently I have pushed for Leprous.... and still push it today. But I also just realized that it could be cool if you do a reaction to the video Omnipresent Perception by the band Beyond Creation. This is a video that I can watch and watch again and seeing the band members virtuosity in action is just dope. Also, long time your supporter are pushing for you to react to the band Death and at this point I hope it is in your top five to do list.
Welcome to the fold my fellow free thinkers! Glad you enjoyed it!😊
You should do Rejjie Snow, Irish Rapper , 1992 or Egyptian Lover
Long live oderus, may he pillage the village, rape the horses and ride off on the women until the end of time.
Shit yes!!!! As a 25+ year slave, this made my week! Thanks for the suggestion
Gwar looks so gross to people but they are amazing musicians big time.
Fbla II by Helmet , 1992 Meantime album . I bet not only the song but the whole album will make the playlist or ill eat my hamster! 32th try , love you guys , look this way!
In the immortal words of Oderus Urungus, "I love Earth, it's the only place in the Galaxy you can get crack!"
Pshhhyou can get crack fuckin anywhere you have heavy metals. Look for iron smelting stars with your radiation sensors.
@@BeKindToBirds whatever science bitch
@@BeKindToBirds only earth contains the heaviest of metals. GWAR
@@dirtydan1116 I also have watched IASIP. Pop culture references aren't substitute for a personality.
@@BeKindToBirds no shit it's not a substitute for personality. I made one reference you salty lil bitch
RIP Dave Brockie The music of Gwar will live on forever.
GWAR is the single greatest show that I've been to.
JES SAW me too I love dave brockie he was such a awesome human
100 percent agree
Completely agree! Just went and saw them again last month! Absolutely amazing every time!
While heatedly agree

RIP Dave Brockie
Definitely, RIP Dave Brockie. Missed
Sooooo happy i caught his last show in san diego. RIP Dave Brockie!
F
He will forever be missed
GWAR's music is amazing. And when you're watching the videos or at a show... it's OK to laugh. It's not supposed to be serious.
So GWAR's premise is that they are supposed to be aliens from another planet who want to destroy the human race, which is the lead singer, Dave Brockie's way of being able to look at humanity from an outside perspective and express his feelings with how we treat each other, and all the bad stuff in the world.

Imperfect Believer Speed is not a fad.
you forgot the part where they were sent to our planet to kill everything millions of years ago, and after wiping out the dinosaurs their boss decided they were a little to good at their job, and had to cause the ice age to put a stop to them until life had a chance to recover a bit.
To truly experience GWAR, one must attend a GWAR show.
This
Exactly
Absolutely
Agreed, my friend.
Must wear your best, clean white shirt.
I feel bad for any younger metal fans who never got a chance to see Gwar live before Oderus passed. Easily the best concert experiences I've ever had. I was legitimately upset when he died. I looked forward to seeing them every year when they rolled through town.
#Freethinkers: "We want Death, Nevermore, Machine head, Porcupine tree and Blind guardian!"
Lost in Vegas: "LOL no, we doin GWAR!"

Ahhhhhhh yeah! Didnt think u guys wuld ever do this band. GWAR GWAR!
I've seen GWAR more than 10 times. blood every time. Their shows are crazy. So fun it's unbelievable
You guys have completely ruined reaction channels for me, in that, I simply can't enjoy any other reaction channels. All the reaction channels I was subbed to before you I just can't watch anymore. You guys are so intelligent and sincere in the way you break music down and analyse it. You make everyone else look like morons.
Of Plagues what he said ^
They are the best reaction duo out there, bar none.
It's because these guys are REAL and others are fake as hell. They also do a lot of analysis, which I love.
Couldn't have said it better myself. You guys are definitely a cut above the rest!
Of Plagues they also pause the song. thats the main reason why i subbed.
no other reaction channel actually pause the song. they sit their blanked face until the song ends or they talk over the song, missing things
WOW! !! You guys really did it!
I Never thought you would actually react to a GWAR song , but you did it! Hell Yeah!

RIP Flattus
I think you mean: "Good luck on your rampage throughout the universe, the earth is too small for gods."
GWAR was on Geraldo back in the 90s and said they invented music millions of years ago by stretching dinosaur intestines between planets and strumming them.
WaterDrinkersUnited That was Joan Rivers show, not Gerardo. I've watched it on TH-cam probably hundreds of times...
joan rivers show
Rainbow - Stargazer
James A Fantastic choice.
Yes, yes, yes. I repeat this in every video's comments. Pure beauty by Blackmore and Dio.
ryan and george would lose their minds over stargazer
Gwar is criminally underrated due to the costumes and theatrics. Their live shows are crazy AF.
"lets get onto this GWAR. We don't know anything about GWAR."
Oh boy this'll be fun.
Going to see GWAR is like going to see a live reenactment of a B grade horror movie. Over the top with fake blood and fake god knows what else. They kill things (sometimes gigantic things) on stage, drench the audience with fake blood, and usually feed a few audience members/key VIPs to a giant alien worm thing, and somehow manage to keep the level of musicianship and artistry high.

RIP Oderus Urungus
Death - Spirit Crusher
Too soon for Death! ;)
Voice of the Soul to ease them into it then? :P
I dunno, I feel like Spirit Crusher would be pretty accessible
Spirit Crusher is AIDS.
Oderus didn't die. He went home.
Gwar live isn't a show...it is an experience. I knew I was in for it when everything in the club was covered in tarps!
" I knew I was in for it when everything in the club was covered in tarps!

GWAR has always been one of those bands that transcends normal preconceptions of what metal should look or sound like. For good or bad, they have always been 110% unapologetically GWAR.
The chemistry ya'll have is fun to watch! Love the channel, keep killin it!
GWAR is total theatric metal, how can anyone not laugh and have a good time watching this?!

I dont know about the kids, but the older metal guys respect Gwar even though they are silly. RIP Dave Brockie.
23yo here, respect! ;)
I've seen them over 30 times in concert. And as far as it goes the music is second to the show. If you haven't seen them live with oderus you missed a great rock show.
I'm 40 years old and I can't stand them. Not gonna hate, just never could get into them. Peace.

Amen! It will be a good time for you guys!!
Plus don’t you want to see George’s reaction to Gene Hoglan on drums??
I've seen Gwar twice in my life. I don't remember either time. First time a combination of exhaustion, dehydration, and intoxication resulted in me passing out with my upper body splayed out on the stage. Oderus Urungus was kind enough to piss on my face until I woke up, and promptly went and took a nap on the couch.
The second time I took a steel toe boot to the temple. A crowd surfer failed to get sufficient height on his jump, and got spun around, and just fuckin' clocked me right in the head. I woke up on the same couch I napped on a year previous.
Bruce Ems maybe you never made it off that couch
Also, RIP Dave Brockie aka Odorous Urungus.
Zak Hooper dude bought me beer when I was 18 at a DBX show RIP

James Woods Damn right I still can't believe he's gone he was the best.

these guys have been around mainstream since 89, the guitarist (Flattus Maximus) and the lead singer (Oderous Urungous) have since passed on.
They have movies btw
also, they're very wry on their politics within their music as well, hell, they did a song on Ollie North ffs lol
I've seen Gwar live a few times (front row) A concert experience you'll not soon forget! RIP Dave!
I will never.....ever.... Forget the first time I saw Gwar live. I've been to hundreds of concerts...I've seen Legends, big names.... That Gwar concert still sits as one of the best live performances I've ever witnessed. I saw them in the mid 2000's..

LoonaticX True, they couldn't have picked a worse song than The long march.
Definitely agree!
LoonaticX definitely!
Absolutely! I really hope they give Amon Amarth another chance with twilight
pantera- cemetery gatessssss
YES!!! Please do Cemetery Gates by Pantera!!!!!!
It's been years and they still haven't ... seriously one of the most influential songs of the time period. And it was metal.
Gwarrrr! R.I.P. Dave Brockie (Oderus) and Cory Smoot (Flattus Maximus)
AdraTheMetalOutlaw although I've seen them since Dave died and it wasn't a bad show by any means it just wasn't the same
Agreed.
Guys, this is great - I have known Gwar for about 25 years but never listened to a full album of theirs - just separate songs here and there. And now you, with this video made me search the album and play it whole. It is great, I love it. Thanks!
Btw, I'd love to see your reaction to Life Of Agony - Through and Through. Especially Ryan with his love to groove and the transitions in songs. Cheers from Bulgaria!
Now this was about as awesome as it gets. Thank you. Please give Amon Amarth, Twighlight of the Thunder God a try. You won't regret it.
as a part of the metal community i say who gives a hell about the costumes and keep rocking!!!!! fyi they go harder in the live shows.
I can understand why some people aren't into the costume thing. It comes off, to me, as a bit cringy. I've never heard a song from a band that "dresses up" that I enjoy and I think it's because they seem less focused on the instrumentation and lyricism of their music and more focused on the spectacle of putting on a show. Which is fine, but it's not for everyone.
Their shows are as intense as this video. Complete with blood sprays and everything. Never wear a nice shirt to a gwar show
yeah I have had friends that scored front row tickets at one of their shows and they were smart enough to take a roll of plastic with them lol
Fuck that plastic shit. You know you're at a GWAR show when everyone in the pit is wearing a plain white t-shirt.
Always wear a white shirt to a GWAR concert. Makes for an interesting conversation piece afterwards. Expecially if you go to Denny's afterwards.
There are people who where nothing but white, head to toe, to GWAR concerts.
I wore my brand new white sneakers by mistake.
I've seen every gwar show in Seattle since 1995.their sic!
NINE INCH NAILS
Motörhead ACE of SPADES!
Do give it a shot...🤘
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Lord Perth It has to be the made in Japan version
GWAR doesn’t get near the recognition they deserve. Very talented, check them out live!
Death - Spiritual Healing, Scavenger of Human Sorrow, or Flesh and the Power It Holds.
Scavenger of human sorrow!!!! Their faces would be priceless
Scavenger for sure
SOP is their worst album.
Scream Bloody Gore, sure. Spiritual Healing!? That's their albsolute best, way better than that Prog Metal bullshit TSOP. Also, Death aren't even the best Death Metal band. Ever heard of Morbid Angel?
So much death requests all the time and they still won't do it yet. Do they even see.
Gwar is so under-rated, if you can get past the costumes and a majority of the lyrics the music is amazing, smart and timeless.
I think they’d love Unsung by Helmet.
I hadn't heard this song before and it reminded me of Unsung.
Meantime
HELMET! YES!!!
Yes please. Anything off the album Meantime.
Found you guys tonight watching Chris Stapleton reactions and started following because of the respect for country music y'all have. Then I saw this.

David Boyd Can all metalheads stand and join the chorus "LEMMY LEMMY LEMMY'!
I don't think they'll like Motorhead, but then again, I was sure they'd like 12 Ft Ninja so what the hell do I know?
Guess you never met me then!
Lemmy is GOD
I think it's a bit overused. Sure it's influencial but damn it's getting tiring to see it all the time
Faith No More- The Real Thing!
JIZZLOBER
Mr bungle his best act
Definitely do 'The Real Thing'!
Jacob Frederick I think they'd like Midlife Crisis better
Any mike Patton I'm cool with.. Mr bungle for sure

Symbolic by Death! Best drums and lyrics you'll have heard in metal so far. Song is about how we all reminisce about our childhood and it's even more powerful since Chuck died from a brain tumor years later. RIP CHUCK! He's the 2Pac of metal.
Shervinm he really is
Symbolic is good. But it isn't Crystal Mountain.
Everything you saw in the video is a Gwar concert. And yeah, the metal community LOVES Gwar. They are a perfect combination of silly and brutal and insane.
It doesn't hurt that they are also *really* good musicians on top of it all.
HPDre Absolutely!
HPDre Almost deceptively so, at that. For a long time, people only thought of Gwar as a goofy novelty band because of their late 90s output, but the addition of Cory Smoot (RIP) made everybody being their A-game.
My first GWAR show I was twelve years old & it was on there Hell-O tour. At that point in my life it was the most awesome thing that I have ever seen. Now I've seen GWAR 22 times in five different states because they had a stage show like no other. I always wore a white shirt & stayed in the pit the entire show. I was a musical for the demented.
Death- Flesh and the Power it Holds.
Anyone who doesn't love Gwar just takes their self too serious.
Hey I take myself too seriously and I love gwar
King Diamond - Welcome home
yessssss
Yes or family ghost
Gotta agree there man. Haven't heard that song since the 90s!
Anything off conspiracy!
Dude! 12 year old me loved those evil bed time stories.
Awesome video you guys. I appreciate how open minded you guys are about different kinds of music, and I respect you for reaching out of your comfort zone.
Strapping Young Lad- Love?

GWAR!!!! RIP Dave. Please review Gwar: Maggots, Zombie March, Saddam a go go.
Saddam a go go is probably my fav.
KING QUEEN is by far their best....

Surf of Syn is my favorite.
Bring Back the Bomb for me
Hahahaha this shit's like a bunch of Power Ranger villains formed a band. Classic.
Shane i was expecting rita to come out at any second
Love that you guys truly rocked out! GWAR
Corrosion of Conformity- Clean my wounds.
Yeah, that's got one of the tightest riffs ever.
Terrance Cook or albatross!
They would love it
This one or Broken Man
yes hell yes
Death - Spirit Crusher
s/o from Brazil!
Tool is supposed to have an album upcoming this year, so please revisit them! Might I suggest something off of 10,000 Days (you guys haven't hit this album yet)? Either "Vicarious" or "The Pot" would be epic! Both pieces have great lyricism, sweet bass lines, guitar riffs, and you know the drumming is on point! Looking forward to it! #livisthebest #freethinking
YOU DID IT!!!! I just now stumbled on this! And yes, this video is like 20 years old..... AND THEY GO EVEN HARDER FOR LIVE SHOWS!!
Strapping young lad - Love? is a great song. You'll love it.
Lol, GWAR. Wasn't expecting that.
Wow, did not expect to see Gwar. Had to click on this video as soon as I saw my alert.
Glad you enjoyed it. One of my all time favorites. Thanks guys.
Tool - Right in two pleeeeeeease
Ministry-Just One Fix
Sleep - Dragonaut
classic stoner metal that will make you feel like a badass listening to it. I think you guys will like this one.
GWAR's live shows are INSANE. It's the craziest, bloodiest most metal puppet show ever. All of their instruments spray blood (and other fluids), not to mention the giant robots and celebrity effigy dismemberments (all of which spray blood). And, when Dave (the original singer) was alive... his alien phallus, the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu would spray blood.. so he was basically ejaculating blood in your face. Fans usually wear white T-shirts so they can save the "blood stained" shirts as mementos. So, yeah.. this band is a trip live. Many clubs won't book them due to the mess.
GWAR - Bring Back the Bomb. The lyrics are just the best.
I saw them on that tour. Great show.
That argument at the beginning of the video was both the most and least metal thing I've ever heard.
Yes , that's how the live show was .
Gwar lyrics are ment to be funny / corny
Gwar - Salaminizer
Since I was a Scumdog, I blew a cumwad
I was introduced to Gwar by Beavis and Butthead
OOOOOHHHH HELLL YEAH!!!
Me too.
All of us sitting there dumbfounded, watching the same show the same day miles apart. It was Road Behind wasn't it? !
Wasn't everyone? :D
I've seen gwar in concert 14 times, RIP Dave brokie
White zombie- supercharger heaven
Therapy? Screamager
Machine head- Imperium
Caroline Devine if I go with zombie, I gotta hear Thunderkiss 65
Aw thunderkiss 65 is a great tune aswel
Gwar started out as an idea for a punk band(Death Piggy) doing a soundtrack for a science fiction horror movie featuring these characters called "Scumdogs Of The Universe". The band practiced in this old Dairy Warehouse , and across the hall was an art student who is making costumes for his movie. And one night the band wore the costumes on stage, and people loved it. 30 years later, they're still wearing the costumes on stage and the movie has still yet to be made. It was an accidental, genius idea. They struggled to make it work at times, but overall you can't argue with results.
Theres like a dress code when you go to their shows. White tshirts. Cause youre gonna come out covered in "blood"
I loved it when he asked about what the live shows are like. That's how I've ever experienced them.
Amalgam80 its one of those special things. You could drive past a concert hall and immediately know its a GWAR show because the whole line is just people wearing white. Its kinda cool when you know its not a "rally
And that white shirt will officially become a GWAR tour t-shirt. I have a denim jacket that I bring to every metal concert I attend that's never been washed and still bears the stains of the GWAR concert I went to like, 8 years ago.
PanzerblitzRnR i have 3 pink shirts.
Yeah, definitely don't wear your Sunday-best. My buddy hid behind the beer cart the whole show the first time I saw them. Lol
Clutch!!! Please Clutch!!
erik zwiezen I see clutch I upvote
What would a wookie do?
Spacegrass
Passive Restraints!
Fuck clutch
White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65
snausagesaregood for sure...Goovinest Rock song of all time lol
A million likes for your review on this one. Been watching your videos for a while. Great reaction!
Recently I have pushed for Leprous.... and still push it today. But I also just realized that it could be cool if you do a reaction to the video Omnipresent Perception by the band Beyond Creation. This is a video that I can watch and watch again and seeing the band members virtuosity in action is just dope. Also, long time your supporter are pushing for you to react to the band Death and at this point I hope it is in your top five to do list.
Endlessor Baggins Rewind or the Price would be awesome! Or Spirit Crusher by Death.
I'm still gonna push Leprous hehe
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
That is not the best suggestion to introduce someone to Porcupine Tree...
