Oh god, that's hilariously awesome. Do you have any idea why?

Because they are GWAR.

I saw GWAR and the Misfits in New Orleans in, IIRC 1998.

Their stage show might involve a 12 foot vagina that spews out a monster who dismembers a manaquin, spraying blood over the audience and then sodom... you know what? lets just say it gets worse from there.

Well, that sounds pretty awesome.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I would note that the violence, gore, perversion and nudity are all simulated... badly, it is pretty obvious everyone is wearing a rubber suit. At least the violence, gore, perversion and nudity on stage, the audience however is another matter.

Also, they are like super-liberal and almost always have some pointed anti-conservative/anti-Republican commentary in their show. ;)

At the one I went to, they beheaded a bank zombie that was try to foreclose on their space castle. Among other things.

The shows actually have plotlines and stuff too.

GWAR was basically what happened when somebody said, "Let's make the worst, most over-the-top, most stereotypical, offensive metal band possible." And so they did. And you have to remember that this was back in the 1980's, when heavy metal was considered by some people to be a threat to Western civilization, along with its twin, rap lyrics. There were Congressional hearings on this shit.

....okay, that's reason enough right there to want to go to a show. It's like the grungy, long-haired white boy version of a George Clinton/Parliament Funkadelic show.

Eh. I don't watch slasher films either, so even if I were a metalhead I doubt I'd enjoy GWAR. :P

I also don't watch slasher films. Or the "gross horror" films. I'm not a fan of gratuitous of explicit violence. GWAR is... different, though.

It's hard to describe.

I think part of it is that there are not really any victims in a GWAR show.

GWAR is practically an absurdist parody of the bloody "dark" metal spectacle.

Am I the only one who thinks all of these toys look terrifying?
It's the eerie factor. Your brain tries to recognize it but, it sees something that's just not right.

The chess piece looks fine, IMO, except that it's on a pedastal.

They dont quite turn it up to 11 as much as the legendary
though. They turn over the top metal into an art form.
