so this is pretty strange. gwar is one of those bands that i've always kind of loved. there is a soft spot inside little spicoli's heart for metal music theatrical splendor...esp. when the theatrics are downright filthy & gWARRRY. (this is the band that stages projectile menstrual juice on to its audience)..... yum........................... yum!
but aside from that, the whole costumes and history of gwar is just pretty epic. these guys have been going strong for some time-they are embarking on their 25th anniversary tour... and i applaud them. lord knows we have a bunch of utterly craptastic top 40 artists that keep resurfacing. (here's looking at you jason mraz or coldplay or even that irritating band that sings, "don't let go..got the music in you..." UGH, major vomit fest indeed!!!!
so back to the main attraction...gwar !! you know you are set up cus you get to hear these guys rock out and then they are going to pull some shit on you at a concert that is always highly entertaining. its a total win win. Oderus Urungus, lead singer of gwar, was just on fox, which was almost as great as the time i peeped them on jerry springer ( please watch both videos below!) upon further inspection on GWAR ONLINE , apparently he's been appointed the "Official Interplanetary Correspondant" to FOX New's late night show "Red Eye". how do you like dem apples?
three cheers for the scumdogs of the universe.
now enjoy some gwar, my pretties...! and don't say i've never taught you nothin. !!!
imagine my utter delight when i discovered gwar would be on jerry springer!?! i think it went something like..."ughhh, mom, i'm too sick to go to school today....cough cough"
ugh, i found this on youtube while looking for other gwar goodies..wasn't aware of this gwar cameo or that joan had a talk show..WTF? the real question is, red suit skirt plus red nylons, plus red pumps...i think i'm going to sick, joan you crazy bitch and 90s fashions...ugh, why are they coming back again?!
gwar on fox
does anyone remember the beavis & butt-head game?! holy moley, in this game you had to do all this crazy shit in order to gain free access into the gwar concert...something about old video game graphics makes me all nostalgic....
and now,
this is my favorite cut from gwar. in fact, the album this track is on, america must be destroyed, is by far, my favorite gwar album...a +
gota love the end to this video where the piggy gets death by skateboard. scoreeee!

how ironic is this girl: i was just watching peter steele on jerry springer the other day, thanks to nostalgia, because of that strange rumor of the arrest of a one 'peter steele' (!?) theres definitely some vague discrepancies listed in the report though, including his age.
anyway, i digress:

sometimes i forget how sweet jerry springer was in the 90s.
also, heres about the arrest if you're interested, it's certainly a doozy.
