| 667.1 | What happened to Incontinentia Buttocks? | ROSBIF::PHILIPPA | The Booze Bros-Max Rhythm'n'Booze | Thu Oct 19 1989 04:52 | 30 |

Tired of the endless procession of Bon Jovi clones? Then meet GWAR,
a disgusting, deformed five-piece from Richmond, Virginia, featuring:
Oderus Uranus (Vocals
Balsac (Guitar)
Flattus Maximus (Guitar)
Beefcake (Bass)
Nippleus Erectus (Drums).
The five have made it thier lot in life to add a little color -
not to mention the odd pungent aroma - to a monochrome rock scene.
Imagine a grimy, furious mixture of the Ramones, Motorhead, Plasmatics,
Black Sabbath, Mentors and some roadworks on the M4 being put through
a blender and re-assembled like some obscene Frankenstein's monster....
and you're halfway there!
Imagine songs about drinking, homosexuality, death, dog rape, del
worship and drug abuse combined with an horrific image that includes
costumes, blood and guts, axe murder and decapitation...and that's
just during the intro tape!
Theier debut LP 'Hell-o", released in '88 on US indie label
Shimmy-Disc, went rubber in Richmond, but GWAR will settle for nothing
less than world domination on a long-term basis.

Okay, what happened to the other 6 replies in this topic?!?!?!
Copied without perission from Kerrang!
GWAR - WOT A SCORCHER!
Out of the Blue-Peter pond and spewin' on to concert stages throughout
America, the gruesome GWAR are your most hideous Heavy Metal nightmares
come true......
Neo-Legendary ex-Blue-Peter presenter Peter Purves never told you
how to make this sort of thing from a bucket of papier mache, an
old fairy-liquid bottle and a roll os sticky-backed plastic....
But then Peter Purves never got to see GWAR in action! (Or maybe
he did. I mean, doesn't the guy in the steel-trap death mask look
like something ol' Purves might have found whilst wadin' about
extracting the algae from the Blue Peter pond in the Blue Peter
garden?)
Recently migrated from an Antarctic slave pit to a tour of the USA's
most hideous clubs, GWAR are preparing for imminent world domination
with a stage show that involves more offal than a carving competition
at a butcher's convention!
Singer Oderus Uranus ( a man who sports a three-ball scrotum), bassist
Beefcake The Mighty, drummer Nippleus Erectus and guitarists Flattus
Maximus and Balsac The Jaws of Death are joined on stage by the
mighty Sexecutioner, the delectable (hmmmmm...) Slymenstra Hymen
(obviously an anagram of Blue Peter's Valerie Singleton) and arch-enemy
Techno Destructo to create an orgy of blood, guts, gore and general
madness unseen since Shaun Huston's recent book of Children's bedtime
stories.
With GWAR promising to decapitate at least one cretin per show,
we're advising you to stay well clear unless you're the sort of
person who can eat your dinner while watching the new TV 'comedy'
series "Close to Home', starring Paul Nicholas.
What more is there to say except that you have been warned!

Now who wants to go and see them !!!!!!
Remember fellow Brits, that we are used to being splattered with
blood and guts from Reading Festival!!!!
I can't wait till they hit these shores!

| Copied from Metal Edge without permission:
Apocalyptic US based rockers GWAR recently introduced themselves to the
British press with an outrageous reception at the London Dungeon. In front
of a bemused array of journalists and photographers. Master records new
signings reeked havoc for about half an hour, sending blood and gore flying
in all directions before an irate London Dungeon employee brought procedings
to a halt (party pooper -Flip).
GWAR are set to release their debut single on Feb 28 with their debut album
Hell-O set to be released on April 2. The band will also be appearing live
(that's debatable -FLip) throughout March.

I heard Oderus Urungus a.k.a. Dave Brockie was arrested on
obscenity charges during a show in North Carolina. The club was
closed down as well.
Might be another "2 Live Crew-ish" trial in the making.

Thrasher's interview has him as "Oderus Unrungus" but I'm pretty
sure the albums list him as Oderus Urungus...... whatever.
Howz about we call him "OU"?

My cd of "Scumdogs..." and my album of "Hell-O" has his name as
"Oderus U-R-U-N-G-U-S". 8^)
It seems funnier to not have it "Uranus". 8^)

| 667.13 | Trial in N.C. | SHALOT::FAILE | It's turtles all the way down! | Wed Nov 28 1990 19:41 | 11 |
| Gee, it's been a while since I've been in here. Gwar was put on trial
down here in the good ol' Bible Belt (Charlotte) and was, get this,
banned from North Carolina for one year. Unfortunately I wasn't at the
concert, but according to what I've heard about this concert, there was
nothing different than the usual Gwar concert. The lead singer said
that they would be back the day after the one year was up. They didn't
have any other scheduled stops in N.C. How `bout that for a good laugh?

| 667.14 | What do they do? | GOES11::G_HOUSE | Not a problem | Thu Nov 29 1990 14:33 | 3 |

| 667.15 | | SHALOT::FAILE | It's turtles all the way down! | Thu Nov 29 1990 18:49 | 8 |
| Like I said I live in the Bible Belt and their show just got too
obscene for the religious people here. I did hear however, that the
main reason for the ban was the sexual content and simulations.
Hope that helps,

| It seems that although there are only five or so musicians? in the
group there are about 15 people in total.
Basically they all started out as a drama group, and decided to go
into heavy metal. Most of the live stage act involves ripping people
apart and eating brains.
The whole thing is helped along by their female body guard
Sly-Menstra Hymen.
I've wanted to see them in concert for a long time, but never got
round to it. (Anyone like the idea of having blood sprayed over them).

I read in the news paper last week an article about them and their
manager....He is going to run for President and on his platform he
says that he is going to pass laws for manditory abortions for ugly
chicks and give suicide clinics for losers who can't afford health
care.
It was all pretty funny... Well kind of.....8^)
