Gore metal group Gwar also stayed true to form. It decapitated one performer dressed as entrepreneur Elon Musk and then eviscerated a second dressed as President Donald Trump, with fake blood streaming into the crowd from both bodies.


But the folks on the right are the haters

I just saw GWAR mentioned on a roku commercial just a few hours ago.
I haven’t thought of them in years.
I remember the singer I think would guest on Gutfelds Red Eye years ago.
This news saddens me...

Did Gwar have a show in which they “mock killed” Biden, Harris or Obama? If not, they get no points for being brave or even outrageous. Its just pathetic.

Rob Zombie has earned the right to do and say anything he phookin pleases. A real entertainment talent, and marketing genius.

It’s cheap, crusty SHOW BUSINESS, on which he makes a bundle.

Don’t go dragging Chubby Tipper Gore out of the mothballs and vodka to protest. If you don’t like what he says, just turn it off.

It’s not like he gives a shiiite anymore what anybody thinks.

GWAR beheads everybody. It’s just part of being famous.

Thought Gwar was a friend of Gutfeld?

I guess I was being a little respectful to our Commander in Chief who survived two attempts on his life including one where he was wounded. You can continue on with your Rob Zombie bromance whoever the hell he is

Never heard of Rob Zombie or Gwar, and I’m thankful for that. Based on the clips, it’s a bunch if garish noise and ugliness posing as art.

According to the Googles yes. Here’s the very partial list:
Elon Musk: In September 2025 at Riot Fest in Chicago, GWAR mock-beheaded a mannequin of Musk, drawing criticism from some online accounts.
Donald Trump: The same Riot Fest performance featured a mock “murder” of a character representing Trump. The band has also “killed” Trump in other performances over the years.
Joe Biden: A mannequin of then-President Biden was beheaded by the band at Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival in 2022.
Tony Abbott: An effigy of the former Australian Prime Minister was decapitated onstage in 2014.
Other figures: GWAR has a long history of mock-executing figures across the political spectrum and pop culture, including Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin, and a pregnant Taylor Swift mannequin

They behead people. It’s what they do.

That makes me feel better. Lol. I just remember Beavis and Butthead being big fans. I like Rob Zombies’ “Dragula” song. Not about drag queens for all yous pearl clutchers. It’s about Grandpa Munsters’ drag racer.

Yes, they did. Since Reagan, they’ve made a point of killing every president. Biden was the latest. They’ve also killed Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Mitt Romney, among a ton of others.

Biden was kinda fun. The schtick had Biden trying to talk (and blowing it) and then a terrorist came running out and blood ensued.

If Gwar beheads everyone, including Democrats like Biden and Clinton, then I’m fine with this.

Watch his movie “House of a 1000 Corpses” it is a horror flick that will shock you, but it is very good, brutal and relentless, but good.

Other than his movies, I don’t know anything about him, except that he is also some kind of musician and his wife plays the lead in his movies.
