oh gwar

on thursday i met up with some old friends of mine at the flying saucer before we all walked over to the gwar show.
first, we prepared in a parking lot, where josh was almost beat up by gwar's bus driver for trying to open all of the doors on their bus.





i think that was in between the two opening bands actually. i don't know. we did a good amount of walking in and out during the opening bands.
so the first band was very expected. metal/thrash/trash. i don't know how to place the genres of those bands. but you get the idea.
the crowd was mostly made up of redneck metal heads. you know.. huge beer gut, really long gotee, metal t-shirt, and a bud light.

well, that being said, the opening band who i can't remember the name of, was a very dancy disco band. i didn't get any good pictures of them so i stole one from nashville scene's article on the gwar show. (the article was okay. just another music journalist trying to impress us with his musical knowledge as he kind of talks about the show he is supposed to be reviewing)



i think the picture kind of says it all. shortly after the first song, beer cans started to litter the stage along with a few boo's from the crowd. glad they didn't get hit. the band took it well and heckled the crowd back with several witty comments that the crowd probably didn't understand.

on to gwar..
they were everything i expected. adam and i both remembered watching a movie on "satanic music" or something like that, and gwar was the main target. ever since then i think we both have wanted to see them very badly.
there was a lot of fake blood and fake semen, which was for some reason green. i guess because they are from another planet.
i don't really know what else to say. about it. just take a look..

(oh, my camera kept going out of focus every time i tried to take a picture. don't know if i was just drunk or i don't know how to use my camera. oh well)











and this is satan.. he died at the end.


we walked back over to the flying saucer soaked. drank some more beers. drank some cheese dip. then we headed home.

we looked tan because of the fake blood and semen. it stained us. and my cast.
