GWAR Eternal Tour 2014

GWAR Eternal Tour 2014

The greatest metal band in the universe, GWAR is on their Eternal Tour and in search of Oderus. I recently caught both the Seattle (Nov. 12th) and Spokane (Nov. 15th) tour dates. Even with the absence of Dave Brockie, who recently died of an overdose at the beginning of this year, I can proudly say […]

Gwar B-Q Adventures Final Chapter: GWAR Lives!

Gwar B-Q Adventures Final Chapter: GWAR Lives!

This is part three of my adventures at this year’s Gwar B-Q! Read part one here and part two here. Once all the supporting acts had played, the only thing left was for our hosts and masters GWAR to hit the stage. This was their first performance since lead singer and founding member Dave Brockie, aka […]

GWAR B-Q Adventures Part Two: Meat Sandwich

GWAR B-Q Adventures Part Two: Meat Sandwich

This is part two of my adventures at this year’s Gwar B-Q! Read part one here.   Saturday my fellow bohabs showed up and wandered around in everything from homemade costumes to almost nothing at all. The first thing I did was get my picture taken with the GWAR Ghoul! Then it was time for […]

GWAR B-Q Adventures Part One: Oderus’s Viking Funeral

GWAR B-Q Adventures Part One: Oderus’s Viking Funeral

For GWAR fans, the pilgrimage to the annual GWAR B-Q in Richland, Virginia is akin to Elvis fans traveling to Graceland. I have always wanted to go since the first GWAR B-Q in 2010 but was never able to justify the cross-country trip; however, when I learned that lead singer Dave Brockie aka Oderus Urungus […]

I Miss Dave Brockie Already

I Miss Dave Brockie Already

The world at large might not care a whole hell of a lot, but we lost one of the most amazing lead singers and frontmen of metal yesterday and I’m at a loss for words. I hate growing older. I haven’t been reminded of my mortality in quite some time, but upon hearing the tragic […]

Morning Cup o’ Music

I love how Gwar is able to inject themselves into various parts of Earth’s history and still make it work.

Morning Cup o’ Music

Ahhh Gwar, how my childhood wouldn’t have led me to the life I now enjoy without your amazing music warping my immature mind. I’d rather not think of how I would have turned out never listening to This Toilet Earth or your new album Lust In Space..because it’s me being a bohab that helped me […]

MediaWhore’s Best of 2009

MediaWhore’s Best of 2009

Two-thousand-and-nine, a year in which many of us expected to be in the middle of Space War I, or locked into a huge battle with the Decepticons of Cybertron. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I want my fucking jetpack or flying car now! Well, at least was a great year for […]

All you need to know about this video is that Oderus Urungus goes 1 on 1 with Jesus in a b-ball game which is just so fucking awesome. There’s that…and the fact that Jesus wears Converse shoes. If you’ve never heard anything by GWAR…first, shame on you! Second, go out and get their entire catalogue […]

Damnit Guitar Hero 5

Damnit Guitar Hero 5

Ugh, file this in the “I’m a whore for media” category. The last Guitar Hero I got was last Xmas when I picked up Guitar Hero World Tour, and spend all of 3 hours playing it…it was right in the time where I started to feel really jaded towards all of the rhythm games that […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

How sad, I was hoping that GWAR week wouldn’t have been over so quickly. I’ve only barely begun to scratch the surface of the band that I’ve grown to love so much over the years. I guess if I must send you out with one of my favorite GWAR tracks, it’ll have to be “The […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

I told you I’d be back with something off of Violence Has Arrived, this is the opening track off of that amazing album that shreds harder than a 20 year old metal band should have any business doing. This track, “Battle Lust” is just as unintelligible on the CD as it is on this youtube […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Every once in a while GWAR lets Oderus Urungus take a break and hands the microphone over to Beefcake the Mighty, and this is one of those times. The track today for you listening pleasure is “Hate Love Songs” off of the same album as “Penguin Attack” yesterday, Carnival of Chaos. Quite possibly one of […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Today, the Scumdogs of the Universe are going to pound your face in with the track “Penguin Attack” off of their genre-spanning album Carnival of Chaos. The penguins were brought to life after Techno Destructo got to them and used toxic waste to reanimate them, you see…one of GWAR’s favorite pasttimes in Antarctica is ‘penguin […]
