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.

If you want stage presence try Rammstein. Best shows I've seen ever!!

(best videos too - don't need to understand a word of German to enjoy them)

I know, they're not for everyone, but if you like heavy metal, you'll LOVE Rammstain

Alice Cooper- Vincent Furnier- my cousin Mike knew him well. Their bands toured together in Arizona and shared musicians before Alice hit the big time. IIRC Alice’s drug of choice was beer.
