I worked a Gwar show about 10 years ago at Jannus Landing in St. Pete, just down the street from the State Theater. I was pretty impressed with the work ethic of those guys. They prepared for about 16 hours before the show, not their roadies, they did the work. (I worked with the sound/ lighting company.)

That was showmanship, but this is way beyond Gwar. This approaches the stuff that G.G. Allin did before he died.

The guys in GWAR are dedicated as I understand. I hear that the band is actually the guys in the costumes and that the musicians have changed a number of times.

The guys in the costumes are also cartoonists and are the ones who have drawn the GWAR comic books.

It only makes sense that they'd want to make sure that all of their staging and props are handled properly.
