GWAR? There is a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time...

Just saw them open for static X or something last month. They had a great set, except Gor-Gor shit the bed instead of spewing the audience.

Having been to see GWAR in the past, I'm not sure if I should read your last sentence as figurative or literal

They were touring in support of The Return of Gor-Gor, something went wrong with Gor-Gor, it made it out to the edge of stage, they brought a Bohab into stage to feed to Gor-Gor, but Gor-Gor sat there. So Blöthar had to kill them.

As someone who has never heard of the band that sentence is just pure ramblings of a maniac and im all here for it

GWAR is a band of intergalactic outlaws of the planet Scumdogia, their late frontman, Oderus Urungus, was born from a mother that was a Petrie dish and a father that was a supercomputer. Oderus lead GWAR to seek refuge on Earth. They crash landed in Antarctica, where they still call home, however they are known to vacation in Rocking VA.

They now travel around the world playing music for lesser life forms. During their concerts they are known to bring various pop culture icons and political figures onto stage and behead, or otherwise execute them. In doing so they always endure the crowd is bathed in the blood of the sacrifice.

Since Oderus's death in 2014 GWAR has been lead by Blöthar the Berserker. This year has also seen the return of Oderus' pet dinosaur, Gor-Gor, who was born after its egg was injected with crack cocaine.
