Wait till they see the latest Gen V episode. They exploded a goat named Elon Musk. The goat was deliberately named like that, so that nobody cares if it dies.
So gwar is still doing Gwar stuff and maga are still doing maga stuff. Just another day like any other
I saw them in like 2009 and they did the same thing to Obama and Hillary.
Could You even imagine Obama getting mad at GWAR for being GWAR?
I could see Obama asking to come on stage to be devoured by the World Maggot.
It was good enough for Jerry
They hate everyone equally.
They don't perform these acts because they hate anybody. It's theater. But Donald Trump will never accept that as long as he is one of the caricatures on stage. His ego is too fragile.
Yes, but while one side can accept it, Turnip throws a tantrum
The organizers behind Riot Fest said it the best, really:
“Like I know this is a rage bait engagement farming twitter account, but ‘GWAR crossed a major line’ is one of the funniest fucking things I’ve ever heard.”
Based from orbit.
Was this before or after they were sprayed with alien semen?
Due to tariffs and inflation they only do blood spew these days.
They've never seen GWAR before I guess.
... these are the people who think the 'Machine' that Rage Against the Machine is raging against...
... is the liberal mainstream media.
We are talking about people with negative amounts of media literacy... as well as very low levels of actual literacy.
I mean, in all fairness RATM is raging against the mainstream media, they’re just also raging against everything to the right of the mainstream media too.
Wait, I thought they hated washing machines. So confused.
No, actually. They just hate it when people say "ATM machine." They want that machine dropped from the common vernacular.
If we do not have ATM machines what will I do with my PIN number?
Lordy, I had to read the article. It's beautifully written. Highly recommended.
Some things change. Some things stay the same. At least GWAR is still GWAR.
I like to think that Dave Brockie is laughing his ass off in hell over this while sharing a needle with Satan
Lmao, is that supposed to be Taylor Swift? That's awesome.
Yes it is. It was the intro to Womb with a View.
Hah, nice
The "readers added context" under the bullshit pearl clutching tweets is so sweet.
Readers added context
This is a long-running part of GWAR's performances. They have simulated killing a number of famous and influential people since the 90s, including every US president since Ronald Reagan.

Yes, but 20th century snow was not the same thing as 21st century snow.
I think I saw gwar once birth a Hillary Clinton fetus, and then kill and eat it
I bet people who know exactly who and what GWAR is, decided to do this as a promotion for GWAR, its just way too obvious. GWAR has been on fox news, its well known they do this, and the fact that the outrage was over musk and not trump goes to show whoever started it knew there would be a response pointing out they've done it to ALL the former presidents. It just seems so unlikely that anyone would see a gwar show and think "if only more people saw* this, they'd be canceled", there's just no way.
They've been killing musk since at least may of this year so even that isn't new. Honestly after this I kind of hope they do make one of Charlie Kirk just to keep the rage going, but honestly I don't think kirk was that well known until after he lost his last debate.
Not sure libs of TikTok would be doing a promotion for GWAR. Maybe others started it and they picked it up.
I'm pushing 40 and GWAR has been doing this since before I was born.
This year is their 40th anniversary.
Gwar, often stylized as GWAR, is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 1984
Yeah, I thought this years tour was for their 40th, but it is the Return of Gor-Gor.
Now we need their birthday and the founding day. We can't let this approximation slip
I began watching this in an ironic kind of way. Fuck, was I glad I did. It was an amazing dive into a band I thought was KISS 2.0. Watch the documentary.
The Graduate hotel in Richmond had a sick GWAR painting in the bathroom of my hotel room.
That is all.
I've stayed at that hotel before. I'm sad to say my room didn't have that kind of cool ass art. I did eat at the GWARbar though, so I still got some good GWAR memories in on my trip.
I’d gone to a concert that night and was kinda drunk so when I pissed in my hotel bathroom and saw more band art I was kinda confused lmaoo
C'mon, they know what they're doing. No such thing as bad ~~attention~~ publicity.
