I remember hearing about GWAR way back in 1986. I dont know if this is the same guitarist from back then or not. probably not.

He joined the band in 2002 or something like that ...
But GWAR always seemed like a bunch of close-knitted friends who enjoyed bringing their oevr-the-top shows.

The first time I saw GWAR they stormed the stage in the middle of a Dag Nasty matinee show to announce a show they were playing later that night in town. I was stunned. It was around 1987 or so. I probably saw them 10 times in the late 80's and early 90's. RIP.

It's funny that most people dismiss gwar as just a theatrical band, but the music is some killer thrash.
