as far as GWAR is concerned, they were very tongue in cheek.
They are sort of the “WWE” of the metal world.
I’m a conservative and I love hard rock and metal.
I am a fan of King Diamond as well as other bands/musicians that probably don’t sit well with a lot of other conservatives, but hey, my choice!
Totally. I saw an interview with them some time ago. The interviewer mentioned how astonished he was that they were nice, clean-cut young men (and a woman, if I remember right).
The lead singer said, approximately, "What, do you think we sleep in our stage gear? It's an ACT, dumba$$!"
Never been to one of their shows. Struck me as a spectacle to be seen, albeit from a distance.
