When I saw Municipal Waste, one dude stage dived like 4 or 5 times during Wave of Death. It’s not even a 2 minute song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhs93VKtnco

Everdawn - Venera Power/symphonic from last year. Probably would've been a contender for my end of year list if I'd heard it earlier.

The House of Blues show was even more packed, I had a pretty good spot for See You Space Cowboy but popped out for a smoke and couldn't get close for Terror or PtW. Both shows were so good though

When I moved to the US, the first show I went to was Poison The Well and I just vibed off the fact they were now a local band (despite being essentially broken up at the time). I was given a flyer on my way in saying no stage diving or moshing which I assumed was some kind of joke. It wasn’t.

GWAR’s appeal transcends genre. I went to high school with two dudes who dressed like Eminem and listened exclusively to hip hop, but they’d literally drop everything and cross two state lines on a school night to get sprayed with fake blood and ejaculate at a GWAR show. GWAR did a Tiny Desk Concert, for gently caress’s sake.

I haven’t seen GWAR, but I did see a local Sasquatch-themed death metal band cover a couple GWAR songs as a tribute to Brockie.

Better change that cause their poo poo is legit good - at least from the early days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UekfK6iCzV4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAzwPU3kOOc This song basically got me into them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p20PijYVgG4 And was the first mp3 I ever downloaded - I couldn't believe how good it sounded and that I could steal music. I legit just listened to midi tune albums before mp3's if I was on my computer lol

GWAR have some good songs here and there but yeah it is very much a performance art group that happens to put albums out. I got to interview Blothar and Balsac at Riot Fest once and it was basically the closest I'll ever get to interacting with the Muppets.

Gwar has decent music. I know they portray themselves as an artistic collective and whatnot but to me they were always a good heavy metal band with a sense of humor and awesome gore/apocalyptic lyrics. Too bad they never come here, I'll be there if they do

I sometimes wonder if Brockie was trying to ape Lee Ving from FEAR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJAlIHsXcLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KzYOBUzAH0 He has a similar growl and clean vocal style - esp the warble stuff.

This is my Gwar storySnowy posted:In 89 I went to see Gwar and Old Skull in the East Village. I'd heard about Gwar but didn't know their music or anything, just that the performances were crazy. You already know what their shows are like, blood and gore and all that. I was up front getting soaked and loving it, but the whole time I'm wondering why nobody is stage diving or anything, since most of my shows those days were CBs matinees. Then I'm just like gently caress this I'm a hardcore kid and we get onstage! I jumped up and grabbed the biggest large intestines I could find and started swinging them around until I got rushed by a security dude who pushed me back in the crowd. I haven’t seen him much since then but he’s doing great

My city has a few decent venues and two in particular are where most metal shows are at. One of the venues in town that is the highest capacity for an outdoor show around here has never had a metal show before and from what I've heard the staff/owners just don't want to deal with metal fans or the cleanup after a show because of our perceived messiness. Well they finally relented and booked a metal show right before covid and it was Sacred Reich, Toxic Holocaust, and GWAR lol. There has not been a metal show again there since.
