I strongly reccomend this band.
Fun costumes, great lyrics, rocking music, AND they have the best stage show in the known universe.


The whole deal- They dress up as alien warriors, and make silly songs about hacking people/monsters up with swords, headbutting dinosaurs, throwing bombs on people, beating up Saddam Hussein, mocking the mainstream media, mocking censorship, and having these ludicrous gigs where they fight that many monsters on stage, even the doormen get covered in gore.
The story- About 28 million years ago, The Master, banished GWAR to Earth.
Upon landing there, they
- Accidentally killed all the dinosaurs (with the exception of Gor Gor, who long slumbered inside his egg till the 1990's)
- Accidentally created the human race by raping monkeys
- Accidentally destroyed Atlantis.

Humanity rose against them and imprisoned them in Antarctica, where they lay dormant until the 1980's when Sleazy P Martini happened across them on an acid trip.
He gave them instruments, and became their manager/pimp/dealer.

25 years later, they still haven't managed to escape Earth, and they still haven't managed to kill all of humanity. BUT they're still scattering people in multicoloured gore, and killing celebrities on stage.


They are coming over again this year.
Go see them, even if you dont like metal. You will have one hell of a night. (And leave looking like you killed something that bled blue and green, and then bathed in it's remains)
DISCLAIMER: Dont worry, the stuff is ridiculously easy to wash off.

Fun stuff to be sure. After watching that vid i'm somewhat reminded of power rangers though. :/ I believe Giger did some work for them at some point however.

Dunno if it's likely if i'll see them but any info about their tour in the UK?

Nothing announced yet, but they have a new album out this year, so it's undoubted that they'll be over.

I'd have thought they'd have been right up your alley, BS, what with them too being art students!

Come to the Manchester one, and I'll get drunk with you, and force your mouth open when Oderus (singer) gets out the cuttlefish (His colossal cock that he uses to spray water/milk/coke/beer on the audience with)

Ah, GWAR.
When they're silly, they're funny as hell.
When they're rocking out, you rock like a motherfucker.
When they're rocking out AND being silly as hell, all is right with the world.

Neat. Nice to see other "Monster" bands. (Altough this may just be bad video qualitiy, it would help if I could actually see and hear these correctly, XD)
Apart from this one and Lordi, what other ones are out there?

Slipknot, Mortiss and Berzerker spring to mind (correction; Berzerker was a monster band).

What do you mean OTHER monster bands?! GWAR INVENTED monster bands! Bwahahah!

Mortiis doesn't really count seeing as he doesn't dress up anymore.

Well, he wears the mask for the first half of the gig and then takes it off now.

The Berzerker dont count anymore as they've stopped wearing masks.
And their masks were.....Evil Dead like. Just in the format that they were so awful they were GREAT.

And the asskicking Mushroomhead
