I may be one of the only people here who care...but the "leaked" one of the new songs.

I disliked their last couple albums (and I own everything they ever released).

Seemed like they just went and turned into a gimmicky death metal band instead of the ecclectic satirical metal they were doing in the 90s.

I briefly dated a GWAR fan. We knew it wasn't going to work out when GWAR and Tool were both in town playing different shows (Aenima era). I went to see Tool, she went to see GWAR.

It was interesting afterwords, though. She had been naked on stage in some meatgrinder thing or something that covered her in swirls of multicolored paint that lasted for a couple days. It was pretty cool.

You have never been to a GWAR show?

Other shows won't be the same after you do.

They're not a group I listen to on a daily basis, but I've seen them a few times.  Best was in 94 or 95 at Harpo's in Detroit.  It was the day before Halloween and everyone was dressed for a costume party there... except the skinheads.  Totally fun show, I was blue from head to toe for a day and my buddy got hit on the neck and shoulder with fake shit from a priest's bum.  The priest they sodomized onstage, of course.   awesome, for real

Was fun till the skinheads got nasty in the pit... we had to make a hasty exit after my bud got a good solid punch in one of their faces.  

That said, I'd pick Tool over them anyday.  But it's an experience.  

EDIT:  I was blue because they spray the audience in the pit area with all kinds of crazy shit.  I think I had some yellow and red too, somewhere.  I just remember my Tool tshirt I wore was stained blue permanently.

25 years of incredible music that has touched just about every genre there is, tons of political satire, tons of social commentary, lots of incredible art, slapstick sloppy good fun, great stage shows and space operas, tons of charity work. 4 full movies, two Emmey nominations.... With a huge dose of blunt outsider observations on the human condition.

I am a huge GWAR fan on many levels. I would not pick tool over GWAR, GWAR are Rock gods, to Rock gods.

After the album drop, there will be a tour. I highly recommend you see it.

GWAR was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Circa 1992 at the old 9:30 Club.  Serious lulz.

Gwar is inspired, talented, intellectually daring, not to mention playful and yet, I do not think I will ever be tempted to buy an album. They are sorta like Frank Zappa. Behind the goof there is a talent for music, but its still too much goof (for me).

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

One of the things I have always liked is the political and social commentary laced within just about everything, and they have a habit of commenting on world events of the time as well.

For instance, the new song.

Quote
Sez Oderus, GWAR's warty lead singer and convicted whale-molester, "This song deals with the human race's lust for blood, all the while maintaining the lie of 'Thou shalt not kill'...it calls upon the humans to embrace their love of death (and therefore GWAR), shed their hypocritical trappings, and proceed with the apocalypse. It's going to happen anyway, so they might as well enjoy it!"

Or, fromt he song "First rule"


One of my more recent favorite lines from: "I Love The Pigs"


and of course: "Back To Iraq"


Of course, war pary is just one big comment.


Some one already posted "Meat sandwich" that, would be about capitalist consumerism.

New album drooped, and its awesome.

One of my new favorites is now Gwar - Metal Metal Land (Sure to be a crowd favorite like sick of you) and Gwar - Where Is Zog

Hmm? I don't think I would ever put Gwar and FZ in any category together. Gwar are teenage potty humor in WWE costumes with basic three chord faux-metal riffing. FZ's humor could be pretty banal and crude at times, but it was always framed by music that was complex and highly progressive (in terms of innovation, not genre).

Have you listed to all of GWARs past work? Because the potty humor is only the surface stuff (See my other post, or one of the numerous albums for the larger meanings). As far as three cords, they have done just about every genre I can think of over the 25 years, while they do have the GWAR sound, they have experimented, a lot. A good deal of GWARs music is quite complex, and has always been progressive. I have a few fans that love them some zappa, and they also appreciate GWAR very much for some of the same reasons.

Of course, sometimes, music just doesn't have to have a larger meaning than  Rock on! I think Engels description was well put.

I liked Gwar better when they were just a hardcore band out of W Virginia.  That said, their stage shows are pretty impressive.  Especially when most of the shows I see consist solely of some mopey tits standing stock still on stage playing note for note renditions of their latest cd.

Richmond.

Anyway, yes, one of my tests or qualifications of any band is the performance sounding just like the studio versions (with live variations due to stage goings on). They get an A+ for this.

Three sweaty guys on a stage singing about their father or being angry just isn't as cool.

One of my tests is the performance sounding better than the album, and if they can completely change the song around, even better. I have albums, I don't need to see someone play it note-for-note, might as well lip-sync it. Going to see someone like the Allmans, where you never know what you're going to get is a true concert experience. They don't need some cheesy gimmicks to put on a good show.
