GWAR - Bob Dylan, eat your heart out
GWAR… it’s a noise. It’s a state of being. It’s a band. Created in 1985 and dressed as they are at right, would you believe they’re still around… doing things?
A mix of heavy-metal and punk rock, these guys are probably best known for their outrageous costumes and ridiculous on-stage performances: throwing “bodies” into a “machine” and spraying the audience with “blood” and “semen.” Oh my… where can I get some “tickets”?
Current members include: Oderus Urungus (immediate front in the above picture), Beefcake the Mighty (far back right), Flattus Maximus, Balsac the Jaws of Death, and Jizmak Da Gusha. But don’t forget those great former like Nippleus Erectus, and Lee Beato (and there are oh so many more).
Alas, talking doesn’t do these guys justice… so check out some videos after the jump.
Here’s a music video of their cover of Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out”:
- Gay Woman Against Rape
- Great White Aryan Race
- Gay Weird Anal Reprobates
- God What an Awful Racket
It’s just short for “GWAARGGGH!!!”, the original name of the band… kind of anti-climactic isn’t it?
