No offense, but they seem like a low grade knock off of Alice Cooper (theatrics) and Metallica (riffs). And I cut my teeth on Black Sabbath. I have seen ‘em all.
It’s a generational thing, I suppose. Of course I love Metallica (pre-Load), but GWAR brought something to the stage that even a sweaty James Hetfield couldn’t: presence.
Metallica always felt... fake. When I was at their concerts, it was like 4 guys on stage doing 4 different things that happened to sound good. GWAR actually look like they’re having fun on stage if not for the gallons of sweat they pour out under those costumes.
Never really got into Alice Cooper. I know he’s practically the Godfather of hard rock/metal, but I’m not familiar with his catalog.
