WORST EVERYTHING: GWAR
It’s the highest compliment we could pay the legendary shock-metal band. Among the atrocities committed by the mighty monsters of GWAR in the wee hours of the festival’s fourth day: live human dissection by buzz-saw, glorification of crack smoking, incitement to violence via brutal moshing, desecration of a deceased pop idol (Michael Jackson depicted raping an alien infant), and quite possibly treason as Barack Obama was eventually decapitated in effigy. But the encore beat all. After Margaret Cho mock-fellated singer Oderus Urungus to the brand new GWAR tune “Margaret Cho is a Ho” — resulting in a god-awful spray of fluids — the band marched to Bonnaroo’s famous fountain and dyed it blood-red. — CHRIS MARTINS…
more from the GWAR press release after bonnaroo…
This past weekend saw GWAR descend upon the traditionally hippy–fied Bonnaroo music festival to play a late-night Saturday set in front of 15,000 screaming fans. It was good enough to garner the band SPIN Online’s award for both best and worst act on the third day of the popular, drug-soaked music and art spectacle.
“A lot of people were very surprised to see us on the Bonnaroo stage”, said lead front-thing Oderus Urungus. “But the more traditionally heavy festivals, such as Ozzfest or Warped, who claim to support underground and heavy music, have consistently denied GWAR, the heaviest underground band EVER! And what’s even more ironic is that it took a bunch of tree-hugging hippies to give GWAR their biggest and best gig to date in the U.S. And that’s after years of killing them onstage. Thank you, hippies!”
The band had publicly pledged to nasally violate the entire Dave Matthews Band, then had expanded the threat to include Jay-Z, because “his nostrils are bigger”. But it was actually comedian Margaret Cho who became the sexual play-thing to the band. To the chant of “Cho is a ho,” the miniature Asian person took the stage during the bands encore and allowed Oderus to “fuck her face off”.
See exclusive footage of this disgusting event at GWAR’s webtv station, gwar.tv!
After the show, GWAR led a procession of blood-soaked fans to the “Mushroom Fountain”, where they had promised to make the waters “run red with blood”. The spectacle was met with mixed results.
“We didn’t kill enough babies,” said Oderus. “It came out kinda pink.”

Gwar Destroys Suburbia, Takes Over JamPlay!
gwar crack a thon this week!
For Immediate Release
April 8, 2010
NEW ROUND OF CELEBRITY A-HOLES ANNOUNCED
AS THE CRACK-A-THON LOOMS EVER CLOSER
As the webTV event of the century, GWAR’s Crack-a-Thon, looms ever-closer (it begins April 16th at 7:00 pm on crackathon.tv), a final flurry of celebrity and not-so-much-so guests have been announced. Joining the already fudge-packed list will be HATEBREED lead singer and punk/metal legend Jamey Jasta, NYC performance artist and avowed weirdo Our Lady of Perpetual PMS, music producer/ medicinal marijuana activist and practicing werewolf Adam Green, and finally legendary punk pioneer Jimmy Murphy of Murphy’s Law, even though, after an initial positive affirmation via email, he won’t pick up the phone.
“For some reason I can’t get Jimmy Gestapo to confirm,” said Oderus, host of the live and free web TV event. “Maybe he’s drunk…”
THIS JUST IN!!! GWAR WILL ATTEMPT IT’S FIRST-EVER LIVE WEBCAST ON
CRACKATHON.TV, DIRECT FROM THE SLAVE PIT, TONIGHT, APRIL 8TH, AT 10:00 PM E.S.T.!!!!
“This is the first time we have plugged in all this shit.” said CRACK-A-THON host Oderus Urungus. “I hope it doesn’t explode…no, wait…I hope it does!”
The Crack-a-Thon is GWAR’s first-ever live webTV broadcast, an all singing, all dancing, all crack-crazed, all FREE event to be broadcast from the MF Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., April 16th and 17th from 7-12:00 pm. With guests like Andrew WK, Troma films co-founder and king of the B-movie, Lloyd Kaufman, and mop-wielding semi-hero Toxic Avenger, brains are set to be melted as Oderus Urungus and co-host Balsac the Jaws of Death stake their claim as legitimate TV talk show overlords, and establish Slave Pit TV as a force to be reckoned with in the rapidly expanding world of web television..
Sez Oderus’ “There is a lot more at stake here than trying to raise money for my drug habit, even though that’s a big part of it. I have spent 25 years on other people’s shows, appearing with everybody from Joan Rivers to Jerry Springer to Greg Gutfeld with my current gig on Fox News’ Red Eye, and I have gotten pretty fucking good at it! But with the technology of the interweb as it stands today, we have the power to create not only our own TV show, but our own fucking network! Slave Pit TV will be a voice of dickdom in a dickless world–a 24-7 icon of filth, uncensored, unregulated, and UNREAL!”
Completely viewer-funded, Slave Pit TV will operate on money donated by their loyal viewers and sole corporate sponsor, Metal Blade Records, who are already running their own webTV station, Metal Blade TV. In fact rumors of Oderus even now producing his own webTV show for his corporate overlords and longtime sponsors at Metal Blade are completely true! More details on that to come…
The fun starts Sat. the 9th of April with a free kick-off party and display of Slave Pit art at the MF Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. Crackathon.tv will begin broadcasting at 7:00 pm that night and continue broadcasting non-stop until the end of the crack-a-thon. A small studio audience will be in attendance, and you can ensure a reserved seat will be waiting for you by donating ten measly bucks to the Crack-a-Thon at (link).
Support GWAR and the Crack-a-Thon! Go to crackathon.net for full details on how to pledge funds to Slave Pit TV (and thus ensure your entertainment future), how to reserve your own seat in the Crack-a-Thon studio audience, and how to experience the filth and the fury of this disturbing new chapter in the history of one of the most prolific and consistently awesome metal groups–the mighty GWAR!!!!!!
GUEST JAMEY JASTA
Anybody familiar with the punk and metal scenes will instantly recognize Jamey Jasta as one of the most infamous singers in either scene’s history. Jamey and his group HATEBREED have blazed a bloody trail through mosh-pits worldwide, earning the band a fanatical following of violent young skinheads willing to beat the crap out of each other (and others!) at the drop of a wig. Not content to be known as one of the biggest knuckleheads in history, Jasta has also hosted Headbangers Ball and the Golden Gods awards, and fronts the sludge metal holocaust known as KINGDOM OF SORROW. Prolific, energetic, and always controversial, Oderus welcomes Jamey to the Crack-a-Thon!
GUEST ADAM GREEN
In 1984 producer and sound engineer Adam Green quit a promising music career (working with bands like GWAR and SST’s The Alter-Natives) and embraced the spiritual. In 1991 Mr. Green was recognized as a Tulku, the reincarnation of a great Buddhist teacher, but has yet to prove that he knows anything about the actual practice of Buddhism, other than being chubby. He has excelled in the numismatic area of Tibetan history and is one the world’s foremost scholars on Tibetan coins. Recently Mr. Green has immersed himself in the Medical Marijuana movement and is amongst the vanguard of people fighting for your right to get high.
He is also a werewolf.
GUEST OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL PMS
Our Lady of Perpetual PMS is the Patron Saint of Periods and The Pride of Lower East Side. She is the ferocious ringleader of GLOB, (Gorgeous Ladies of Bloodwrestling) who wrestle in fake blood to punk rock. Her Tampon Stun Gun (PMS patent pending) intimidates enemies, losers, and her soon-to-be signature move, The Cockblocker, will help rid the world of unsavory wieners. Our Lady of Perpetual PMS is an ovarian force to be reckoned with who regularly oozes out from the kiddie pool of fake blood to explore comedy and storytelling in select strange venues. This makes her a perfect guest for the Crack-a-Thon!
