GWAAAAAAAR!!!!!

[Zomboid]

Going next month. Suck on that, motherfuckers. I'm gonna be covered in fake blood.

[Dixie]

I stopped going to their shows when they started charging more than $5.
You will have fun.

[Sam]

LUCKY DICK. >:

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just got back from GWAR last week. They used more red than any other color this year. Also, no Saddam A Go Go :(

The last two years were way better.

[bigtimecow]

i've seen them 2 (or 3?) times and it was fantastic. the first time i got covered in red, blue, and green blood. i still have the shirt, dried and on my wall :(

I stopped going to their shows when they started charging more than $5.

specifically to see them, i wouldn't pay much. the times i saw them they were at festivals with a bunch of other bands, so i agree with you ;D

[Zomboid]

Kingdom of Sorrow and Toxic something are gonna be there too. Ticket was like 37 bucks.

[bigtimecow]

oh yes. that show just played around here for the "rock and shock" fest. i didn't go though :(

from the pictures i saw kingdom of sorrow looked like some gay hardcore punk band though

at least it isn't hatebreed

[MetalMilitia]

Hatebreed are awesome live. Hardcore kids can be annoying but the music is brilliant.

[bigtimecow]

the music might be alright, but i can't get past jamie jasta's beaten to death lyrics about vengeance, family, not backing down, standing your ground, etc.

it might just be a qualm i have with hardcore bands in general, but hatebreed is holding the torch

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I didn't even bother seeing either opening band. Pregamed and listened to some old River City Rebels back when they were good.

They came out of nowhere the 20th, so 2 years in a row out of five times to see them I've missed.

Plus 37 bucks for GWAR is too much. Even wityh Sleazy P. Martini on the lineup.

[Zomboid]

37 bucks is fuck all, though. If I were just going to a bar, I'd spend at least twice that. This way, I won't because the booze is always overpriced at these things, so I'll just get drunk beforehand.

[bigtimecow]

sleazy p is back on? :D :D :D

[seesawbooy]

I just began to listen to them and I like what I hear. I'm on track five of Scumdogs of the Universe. Which album would you suggest I get next?

[Angryhydralisk]

Scumdogs is their best period. But next I'd recommend War Party, America Must Be Destroyed, Live From Mt. Fuji, or Hell-O! if you're into punk. The other albums are fine if you're liking it too much. But avoid We Kill Everything and Carnival of Chaos, and maybe even Beyond Hell. That albums like the second beginning of the end for GWAR.

[seesawbooy]

I appreciate the suggestions. Should I check out Dave Brockie Experience as well? I like the weird and hillarious songs the best

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I liked Beyond Hell. From seeing them live for the past 8 years the best shows were during Beyond Hell tours.

[Dixie]

DBE is best live.
Especially when he sings Hitler's favorite Bob Seger song.

[Angryhydralisk]

Is that DBX dvd any good? I've been wanting to get it for a while, but have been either broke or skeptical.

[Kilgore Cod]

I wanna see Gwar sooooo bad! I fucking worshiped their last album too.

[Zomboid]

They were pretty damn awesome :O

Taken right after the last GWAR show I went to. My skin is normally the color of bleach in the sun.

[Angryhydralisk]

I need to scan the pics of the last one I went to. I looked like a blue pirate with swollen lips.

[Skulhedface]

It amazed me to no end that GWAR has been around here TWICE in the last 12 months. I wore the same shirt to both shows (beyond ruined, now).

And as far as I can say, GWAR hit a low point with We Kill Everything but picked it all right the fuck back up. War Party is fucking awesome, just slightly less better than Scumdogs. I haven't heard Beyond Hell yet, but I can't wait.

[Kilgore Cod]

Some friends of mine held a gathering of drunken metal hordes last Saturday. I've been telling these people for months about how awesome Beyond Hell is and I finally supplied them with a burn. Their jaws dropped!

"What is this? That's awesome!"

"Gwar, dude."

"This is Gwar?!?!?"

Even the most critical bastard of the group was asking me for a copy of it.

Then I had a mini-argument with a friend about the band name's proper pronounciation. He called them "G-War" and I kept telling him that he's wrong.

What a fun night.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

You should have hit him with something.
