I don't really like concerts, but I really would love to see GWAR. I don't know if they still tour; I had heard they retired but they also made a music video within the last year or two so IDK if they plan on coming back or what. I don't follow music as much as a friend I haven't talked to in years did.

I used to love Gwar concerts, I used to live in Virginia Beach and they played there all the time, since they were from Richmond. It sucks that the original lead singer died back in 2012.

I got dragged to a Gwar show in college. I was warned about the blood, but nothing can really prepare you for that.

I got dragged to a Revolting Cocks concert. Nothing prepared me for the giant phallus the lead singer pulled from under his kilt and squirted a foamy liquid over the front row audience. It was a fake one not his own, but I was a bit like wtf.

I don't even wanna go for the music; the show they put on itself looks awesome from the few tapings I've seen.

I was sooooo lucky, I worked at a tech shop in the late ‘00s. I was helping a guy set up his Zune, he was not tech savvy. I asked what he did for work, and he said “I drive tour bus.” I asked if he’s driving anyone right now, and he tells me “a band called GWAR.” I told him I’d love to be able to see that show, but I’m broke and have to get back home to do homework. He said “I can fix one of those things—want me to get your on the guest list?”

I went after work, wearing my work clothes, and it was fucking insane. I’ve never been covered in so many various colored liquids after a show. There was so much cum and decapitation! I hope they tour near you someday!
