Any links to where I could here a GWAR song?

you love GWAR; why don't you join the band

hachijuhachi: Any links to where I could here a GWAR song?

go to www.youtube.com, type in GWAR in the search box and click the search button. Click on one of the pictures with the name of a gwar song next to it. Make sure that your speakers are turned on or you won't be able to hear it.

You should check out This little nugget while you're at it. (rick roll free new window)

Nov 29 - Englewood, CO - Gothic Theatre

DONE!

I saw them last time they came to Colorado.

It. Was. Nuts.

So many chicks in white t-shirts getting fake blood sprayed on them.

Lumber Jack Off:
Oct 25 - Detroit, MI @ Harpo's

Ahh... Harpo's. The worst yet coolest venue in Detroit.

I don't even like heavy metal, but shiat, I'd love to go see that show.

This. The music would probably annoy me, but I'd still go for the theater.

I'm going to see then on the 14th!

I CAN'T WAIT!!

Saw them pull the guts out of Bush a couple years ago, would pay to see the same done to a McCain or Palin effigy.

Dec 17 - Toronto, ON @ Opera House

YES!

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooaaaaaa

/cold as the arctic snow!
//je m'apelle Jaques Cousteau!

I would encourage you to go. You have never seen anything like it. I highly recommend getting close to the action but you will need to wear clothes you don't care about and I recommend latex gloves as the food coloring can be hard to get out of your cuticles. Maybe they've toned down the blood and gore - if they have, then don't bother with the gloves.

RockyMtnMan: Nov 29 - Englewood, CO - Gothic Theatre

DONE!

I'm tempted to catch that show, but I fear that my mid-30's self would turn out to be "the old guy at the club."

Dammit! As a Floridiot, once again I hear about the a new GWAR tour too late.
*sigh* er I mean *GWWWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!*

I read:

Beasiality puppets

I wonder what those would look like?

Travis McGee:I'm tempted to catch that show, but I fear that my mid-30's self would turn out to be "the old guy at the club."

It's been my experience that GWAR attracts a pretty wide age range so go, the show is major fun. It's also been my experience that no matter how old you are there's someone there who's older. My husband and I saw Nightwish (Finnish emo goth metal) last month. I'm 42, he's 53. The audience was mostly teens and early twenties but we weren't the oldest people in the room.

/fun to see a 67-year-old banging his head
//yeah, we asked

You do realize that GWAR was formed in 1985, right?

There will be plenty of people between 30 and 40 at those shows. That's how it goes for metal bands that formed in the 80s and still tour. Go see them. You will not regret it.

gwar isnt my cup of tea but their live shows might be their only redeeming quality, definately worth seeing once, even if you dont care for the music

Marisyana: My husband and I saw Nightwish (Finnish emo goth metal) last month. I'm 42, he's 53. The audience was mostly teens and early twenties but we weren't the oldest people in the room.

Oh, you got to see Nightwish live? Cool. I missed them when they came through Colorado in May. Fortunately, I had caught Leaves Eyes and Kamelot when they came through the previous August, so I wasn't too broken up about it. It was a great show, but MAN I felt old. Fortunately, the venue they played had a separate "21 & up" area where all us fogies could hang out, drink beer, and not get smooshed by the crowd.

Or..am I?

01SSJay: New Years Eve in Richmond!

I'll be at the National that night.

Rumor has it, Lamb of God and the Richmond Luchadors will be there as well.

God bless those kids...

Red_Fox: Dec 17 - Toronto, ON @ Opera House

YES!

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooaaaaaa

Hell yeah. I just have to convince a friend to go with me... dunno if my GF would be up for it during the week. (if at all)

I hope they have an evil Stephen Harper to parade around.

I'm a 43 year old chick who goes to Type O Negative shows by her self, but always a very mixed crowd...have fun and do it is my thing! Love those boys!

Oct 08 - New York, NY @ The Fillmore

um, the Fillmore closed long ago
/yes, I know that's what they try to call Irving Plaza these days
//nothing like going into White Castle at 2am covered in blood
///nobody working there batted an eyelash
////next morning my wife woke me up with "WTF happened to you?"

This will be my 10th time seeing GWAR, and my wife's 4th (and she doesn't even like metal, but she loves GWAR.)
I can't wait. Nov. 24th here in Los Angeles.

Cheap plug: Check out the not quite but almost official Gwar fansite www.bohabcentral.com for videos, songs, and more.

Damn the man!

seen 'em three times.

first concert my wife and I went to was a GWAR show. drug her right into a mosh pit FTW

It's always fun to get cummed on by Dave Brockie's giant penis.
I have many a ruined shirt from those guys.

Yeah, saw them in San Francisco at the Fillmore. Great show. I was supposed to see them in Baltimore too but the lead singer got very sick and they ended up cancelling the last four shows. I'd love to see Leaves Eyes ... and also ask that ugly guy in Kamelot how he scored Simone Simons of Epica.

You don't want to get TOO close to the action though. I'd rather be 15 or 20 feet back and NOT get crushed to the front railing. Besides, if you're too close, you can't see anything for all the gore getting sprayed in your face every time you open your eyes.

On the upside, I did get to see Paris Hilton dismembered and violated with her own limb. That was neat. :)
