GWAR - Bob Dylan, eat your heart out
Saturday, April 12th, 2008
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.
