Jerry talks with GWAR vocalist Blothar the Berzerker about their new release "The Return of Gor Gor".

Today in the #MikeJonesMinuteCon, we'll talk about Harry and Hagrid on the move and the new GWAR action figures! 

Hi everyone!My fascinating guest this week is Michael Bishop, a.k.a. Blöthar the Berserker from the legendary band GWAR! Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1984, GWAR is known for outrageous sci-fi/horror costumes, over-the-top theatrical shows, and a wild intergalactic warrior backstory.They're infamous for spraying audiences with fake blood, elaborate props, and comedic skits—blending metal music, B-movie aesthetics, and sharp social satire. Despite lineup changes, GWAR has thrived for decades, crafting DIY costumes and sets, lampooning politics, religion, and pop culture, and building a HUGE global cult following.Why so successful? They turned a niche concept into a full entertainment universe—music, theater, and parody like no other. Over their career, they've released 15 studio albums (including the new The Return of Gor Gor, with an accompanying comic), earned two Grammy nominations, and just recently even launched their own Mischief Toys line.Back in the '90s, GWAR also scored some unexpected pop-culture glory thanks to Beavis and Butt-Head. The cartoon's dim-witted metalhead duo were huge “fans,” often watching GWAR videos, headbanging furiously, and declaring them the GREATEST band in the universe. Their fan base is as eclectic as their shows—rock icons like Dave Grohl, satirist Weird Al, TV host Jon Stewart, and metal contemporaries like Randy Blythe of Lamb of God.In our conversation, we dive into GWAR's history and origins, the tragic loss of founder Dave Brockie to a heroin overdose, their THIS IS GWAR documentary, and what you can expect from their current tour. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Interview by Kris PetersAs with every other year, anticipation surrounding the first line up announcement for Good Things 2025 was almost at a fever pitch. Social media experts and promoter wannabe's all shared their projected line-ups - but most were well off the mark.Good Things is possibly one of the hardest festival line ups armchair critics get to sink their teeth into, with the diversity and seemingly flippant mashing of genres meaning pretty much any band from any genre could make the final cut. And this year was no exception.When TOOL were announced as headliners, a large number of punters were already scrambling for tickets, but a quick scan through the rest of the line up proves the eclectic tastes of organisers and the variety of live music on show for fans of most persuasions.Rock? Tick. Weezer, Garbage.Pop Punk? Tick. All Time Low, New Found Glory.Punk? Tick. Refused.Metal? Big tick. Machine Head. Knocked Loose, Lorna Shore.But there was one band name there that defied expectations. A band not even from this planet. A band dubbed 'Scumdogs Of The Universe'. A band like no other…And that band is GWAR. These guys have been devastating audiences the world over for more than 40 years, their incredible backstory and characters resonating just as much as their music. But it is in the live arena that GWAR excels. Their stage shows are legendary, so much so that filmmakers were driven to make a documentary on the band and their history called This Is Gwar.Yes, ladies and metalheads. This IS GWAR. And what follows is a brief transcript of HEAVY's interview with frontman Blöthar the Berserker, who, as you will be able to tell, is keen to get back to Australia and convert the country en route to enslaving the world. With Good Things sharing the same calendar month as Christmas, we ask Blothar if GWAR will be filling their red sacks with surprises for Aussie fans."(laughing) Well… mostly, when it comes to Christmas, we don't really hand out gifts as much as we take them," he offered. "Gwar is keeping alive that horrible tradition that the Dutch have, Black Pete. Can you believe that they did that? Who do these people think they are? But, seriously, that's what we do. We kidnap children, and we stuff them into stockings, and we turn them into coal and all of that stuff, then we run off with them to Morocco, or something like that. GWAR's not big on Christmas. We are friends with Krampus, though."We run through the line-up again and reiterate our early observation that GWAR are the proverbial black sheep of the Good Things line up, a point which is not lost on Blothar as we ask if the people of Australia are ready for the carnage."I don't know. They loved it last time that the band went down there," he shrugged. "We took a swipe at Tony Abbott and everybody got all upset - boo hoo - but I don't even know what's going on politically in Australia now. We've been very busy… we've got our own problems here to worry about. I think Australians are gonna love GWAR. GWAR is a band that is funny. That's the difference. And let me be clear about that. You go see a heavy metal band… you don't go and see a lot of heavy metal bands where everyone you look at is smiling. They're laughing and having a good time. They can't believe they're seeing… they feel inspired to go and do something creative themselves. That's what GWAR is. That is what GWAR is."In the full interview, Blothar talks more about the line up and gives his thoughts on spreading so many different genres through a festival, what has changed with GWAR since they were last out here, battling the oppressive Australian heat, what three songs punters should listen to if they aren't familiar with the band, where to research the backstory and find out more about the GWAR universe, their latest album The Return Of Gor Gor and how it was received, reaching 40 years as a band and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

This week on Shat the Movies, it's a date night gone completely off the rails with Mystery Date (1991)! Ethan Hawke stars as a shy teen whose dream night with the girl next door spirals into chaos involving mistaken identity, a dead body, and a punk club performance by Gwar. Gene and Big D unpack the movie's strange tone, chaotic plot, and missed opportunities for greatness. From creepy crushes to club culture, this dark comedy has more surprises than a trunk full of corpses. Does it hold up, or should this movie stay forgotten? Tune in to find out!. Plot Summary:Teenage Tom McHugh (Ethan Hawke) is madly in love with his ravishing next-door neighbor, Geena Matthews (Teri Polo), but becomes hopelessly tongue-tied whenever she's around. When his parents go away on an impromptu road trip, his suave law student brother shows up and begins coaching Tom on how to pick up women. Things are going great until Tom discovers a body in the trunk of his brother's car, and his perfect date with Geena takes multiple turns for the worse.

Shock rock legends GWAR are back to wreak havoc once again with their new multimedia release, The Return of Gor Gor, due 25th July 2025 via Pit Records/Z2 Comics. This multi-format assault on the senses includes brand-new studio recordings, ferocious live performances, and an exclusive 32-page comic detailing the epic return of Gor Gor, GWAR's long-lost, three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex. This release is a collaboration between GWAR and Z2 Comics, ensuring fans get the ultimate immersive experience. The Return of Gor Gor features three brand-new GWAR songs mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, GodCity Studios) and four live tracks captured at The Masqueradein Atlanta, GA during GWAR's 2024 tour, mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy. Gor Gor has returned and has stories to share. Spoilers: it's a little weird. Of course it is though, this is GWAR, and they've been delivering the weird and wonderful (amongst other less savoury words to describe them) for 40 years. Can you freaking believe it!? Love them or loathe them, no one can deny the impact this band has had and that's not changing anytime soon. Read our full review of the EP here: https://www.gbhbl.com/ep-review-gwar-the-return-of-gor-gor-pit-records/ We had the pleasure of speaking with lead vocalist Blöthar the Berserker about Gor Gor and his return. After all, how do you misplace a three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex? But that's not all. We break down the EP, look at 40 years of GWAR, muse over the iconic band's staying power, and so much more.

For diehard music connoisseurs a vast discography is always aces. But releasing a lot of albums doesn't always mean a banger every time out. Some artists do achieve that "sweet spot". An era of three or more fave albums in succession. So this week we go over our picks of the artists and albums throwing Three Strikes = Homerun! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we share our Friday The 13th and Father's Day experiences. Musically, we crank some Gwar, Cryptopsy, D.R.I., Indestroy, Oral (!), Lunatics Without Skateboards Inc., Riff Randells, Ascendancy and we introduce Australia's Sharpshooter in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up! 

This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, prepare your ears for a double dose of metal mastery and monstrous mayhem!

This episode is packed with exclusive insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and the kind of unfiltered discussion you only get on the Loaded Radio Podcast. Rivers Of Nihil: A Crushing Debut and Chart Domination The metal community is still reeling from the sheer power and intricate beauty of Rivers Of Nihil's fifth studio album, ***Rivers of Nihil***, which made a thunderous debut following its May 30th release via Metal Blade Records. This isn't just another album; it's a statement, a testament to the band's relentless evolution and commitment to pushing the boundaries of progressive death metal. Chart-Topping Performance The numbers speak for themselves. In its first week, Rivers of Nihil pulled in over 2.8 million Spotify streams globally, a staggering achievement that underscores their burgeoning influence. But it's not just digital dominance; the album made significant waves across the charts, proving its widespread impact. In the USA, it commanded impressive positions: #2 Current Hard Music Albums #7 Current Rock Albums #7 Independent Label Albums #9 Current Digital Albums #23 Current Album Sales Across the border in Canada, Rivers Of Nihil continued their chart assault: #1 Hard Music Albums #7 Current Digital Albums #8 Top Current Albums #23 LP Vinyl Sales Critical Acclaim and Fan Frenzy These chart positions aren't just statistics; they're a reflection of the album's profound resonance with both critics and fans.

Adam Biggs shares the journey behind this monumental release, discussing the creative process, the challenges, and the immense satisfaction of seeing their art connect so deeply with a global audience. GWAR: Celebrating 40 Years of Intergalactic Mayhem From the nuanced brutality of progressive death metal, we pivot to the glorious, grotesque, and utterly inimitable world of GWAR! These rock legends continue their 40th-anniversary celebration with the release of their new single, “The Great Circus Train Disaster,” the second track unveiled from their upcoming multimedia release, ***The Return of Gor Gor***, out July 25th via Pit Records and Z2 Comics. The Legacy Continues For four decades, GWAR has been terrorizing stages, captivating audiences, and challenging societal norms with their unique blend of shock rock, satire, and theatrical spectacle. Their longevity is a testament to their unwavering commitment to their bizarre vision and their ability to consistently deliver unforgettable performances and undeniably catchy, heavy tracks. Grodius Maximus delves into the enduring legacy of GWAR, their creative process that seems to defy all earthly logic, and what it takes to maintain intergalactic supremacy for forty years. A Glimpse into The Return of Gor Gor The new single, “The Great Circus Train Disaster,” arrives with an animated adventure that perfectly captures the mayhem and madness only GWAR can deliver. Imagine a catastrophic circus train derailment involving flaming elephants, twisted clowns, and one extremely unlucky cotton candy vendor—it's all there, brought to life with GWAR's signature over-the-top style. Grodius Maximus gives us the unfiltered, hilariously disturbing details on how this track came to be, offering a glimpse into the chaotic genius that fuels their forthcoming multimedia epic, ***The Return of Gor Gor***. This is an essential listen for any fan of the Loaded Radio Podcast looking for something truly unique. Don't miss this incredible episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast! Whether you're a devotee of technical metal, a long-time Bleharian, or just someone looking for an entertaining and insightful conversation with metal's most intriguing personalities, this episode has something for everyone.

Few bands on Earth—or any planet, for that matter—have carved out a legacy as insane, outrageous, and gloriously grotesque as GWAR. Born in the underground punk and metal scenes of Richmond, Virginia, GWAR exploded into the music world in the late ‘80s wearing monster costumes, wielding foam weapons, and spraying audiences with fake blood, bile, and even more questionable fluids. But beneath the theatrical horror lies serious musicianship, brutal riffs, and sharp satire that's kept them alive (and undead) for decades.In this episode, we're slicing open the carcass of GWAR's current lineup to speak with the newest scumdog to join the slaughter: Grodius Maximus—the guitar-slinging warrior who recently crash-landed onto Earth to fill the six-string void left in the band's battlefield. With a name that sounds like a gladiator raised on ‘80s thrash and space meat, Grodius brings fresh hellfire to GWAR's already volcanic live shows.GWAR's Disgusting, Beautiful HistoryGWAR was originally assembled in 1984 as an elaborate joke involving art students and musicians. What began as a side project turned into a full-blown intergalactic invasion with the release of albums like Scumdogs of the Universe (1990), America Must Be Destroyed (1992), and This Toilet Earth (1994). Led by the late, great Oderus Urungus (Dave Brockie), GWAR built a universe with its own mythology—one that blurred the line between rock concert and blood-soaked stage play.They've survived censorship, bans, lawsuits, and the tragic death of Brockie in 2014. Yet GWAR soldiered on, as only space barbarians can, bringing in new blood like Blöthar the Berserker (the band's current vocalist) and now, Grodius Maximus—a cosmic guitar warrior with chops sharp enough to decapitate the crowd (metaphorically… we think).Meet Grodius MaximusSo who the hell is Grodius Maximus? According to GWAR lore, he was forged in the lava pits of a dying star, fed a diet of buzzsaw strings and the bones of hair metal guitarists. According to Earth records, he's a seasoned player who's worked in the shadows of the metal world, bringing a mix of technical skill and raw aggression to the band's already thick sonic attack. Beyond the Gore: Why GWAR Still MattersGWAR's staying power isn't just about slime and satire. Underneath the spectacle is a band that consistently delivers musically—mixing punk, thrash, death metal, and even progressive influences into a sound that's always brutal and often brilliant. Their social and political commentary is absurd on the surface, but sneakily intelligent underneath, skewering everything from corporate greed to religious hypocrisy to American excess.Grodius Maximus brings new fire to that mission, showing that GWAR's not just still alive—they're mutating into their next form.https://gwar.net/?srsltid=AfmBOopLlBzwy2ErePMJCIZOcqAg6cTpwaY0698qZNIGEy5eQO7X5kzW

After hearing the interview Chaz and AJ did with Sawborg Destructo of GWAR, a few Tribe members called to share stories of them destroying local bars in their early days. Plus, Wallingford mayor, Vinny Cervoni was on the phone to talk about the town's plans for their massive pool; the second-largest in the world.

We all feel as though we need to have an opinion on them. This tends to be less a considered position than an adjective. Tariffs are _______. Killington is _______. It's a bullet to shoot when needed. Most of us aren't very good shots.Hunter tends to draw a particularly colorful basket of adjectives: crowded, crazy, frantic, dangerous, icy, frozen, confusing, wild. Hunter, to the weekend visitor, appears to be teetering at all times on the brink of collapse. So many skiers on the lifts, so many skiers in the liftlines, so many skiers on the trails, so many skiers in the parking lots, so many skiers in the lodge pounding shots and pints. Whether Hunter is a ski area with a bar attached or a bar with a ski area attached is debatable. The lodge stretches on and on and up and down in disorienting and disconnected wings, a Winchester Mansion of the mountains, stapled together over eons to foil the alien hordes (New Yorkers). The trails run in a splintered, counterintuitive maze, an impossible puzzle for the uninitiated. Lifts fly all over, 13 total, of all makes and sizes and vintage, but often it feels as though there is only one lift and that lift is the Kaatskill Flyer, an overwhelmed top-to-bottom six-pack that replaced an overwhelmed top-to-bottom high-speed quad on a line that feels as though it would be overwhelmed with a high-speed 85-pack. It is, in other words, exactly the kind of ski area you would expect to find two hours north of a 20-million-person megacity world famous for its blunt, abrasive, and bare-knuckled residents.That description of Hunter is accurate enough, but incomplete. Yes, skiing there can feel like riding a swinging wrecking ball through a tenement building. And I would probably suggest that as a family activity before I would recommend Hunter on, say, MLK Saturday. But Hunter is also a glorious hunk of ski history, a last-man-standing of the once-skiing-flush Catskills, a nature-bending prototype of a ski mountain built in a place that lacks both consistent natural snow and fall lines to ski on. It may be a corporate cog now, but the Hunter hammered into the mountains over nearly six decades was the dream and domain of the Slutsky family, many of whom still work for the ski area. And Hunter, on a midweek, when all those fast lifts are 10 times more capacity than you need, can be a dream. Fast up, fast down. And once you learn the trail network, the place unfolds like a picnic blanket: easy, comfortable, versatile, filled with delicious options (if occasionally covered with ants).There's no one good way to describe Hunter Mountain. It's different every day. All ski areas are different every day, but Hunter is, arguably, more more different along the spectrum of its extremes than just about any other ski area anywhere. You won't get it on your first visit. You will show up on the wrong day, at the wrong time, in the wrong parking lot, and the whole thing will feel like playing lasertag with hyenas. Alien hyenas. Who will for some reason all be wearing Jets jerseys. But if you push through for that second visit, you'll start to get it. Maybe. I promise. And you'll understand why one-adjective Hunter Mountain descriptions are about as useful as the average citizen's take on NATO.What we talked aboutSixty-five years of Hunter; a nice cold winter at last; big snowmaking upgrades; snowmaking on Annapurna and Westway; the Otis and Broadway lift upgrades; Broadway ripple effects on the F and Kaatskill Flyer lifts; supervising the installation of seven new lifts at three Vail Resorts over a two-year period; better liftline management; moving away from lettered lift names; what Otis means for H lift; whether the Hunter East mountaintop Poma could ever spin again; how much of Otis is re-used from the old Broadway lift; ski Ohio; landing at Vail Resorts pre-Epic Pass and watching the pass materialize and grow; taking over for a GM who had worked at Hunter for 44 years; understanding and appreciating Hunter madness; Hunter locals mixed with Vail Resorts; Hunter North and the potential for an additional base area; disappearing trailmap glades; expansion potential; a better ski connection to Hunter East; and Epic Local as Hunter's season pass.Questions I wish I'd askedI'd wanted to ask Poole about the legacy of the Slutzky family, given their founding role at Hunter. We just didn't have time. New York Ski Blog has a nice historical overview.I actually did ask Poole about D lift, the onetime triple-now-double parallel to Kaatskill Flyer, but we cut that segment in edit. A summary: the lift didn't run at all this past season, and Poole told me that, “we're keeping our options open,” when I asked him if D lift was a good candidate to be removed at some near-future point.Why now was a good time for this interviewThe better question is probably why I waited five-and-a-half years to feature the leader of the most prominent ski area in New York City's orbit on the podcast. Hunter was, after all, the first mountain I hit after moving to the city in 2002. But who does and does not appear on the podcast is grounded in timing more than anything. Vail announced its acquisition of Hunter parent company Peak Resorts just a couple of months before I launched The Storm, in 2019. No one, including me, really likes doing podcast interviews during transitions, which can be filled with optimism and energy, but also uncertainty and instability. The Covid asteroid then transformed what should have been a one-year transition period into more like a three-year transition period, which was followed by a leadership change at Hunter.But we're finally here. And, as it turns out, this was a pretty good time to arrive. Part of the perpetual Hunter mess tied back to the problem I alluded to above: the six-pack-Kaatskill-Flyer-as-alpha-lift muted the impact of the lesser contraptions around it. By dropping a second superlift right next door, Vail appears to have finally solved the problem of the Flyer's ever-exploding liftline.That's one part of the story, and the most obvious. But the snowmaking upgrades on key trails signal Hunter's intent to reclaim its trophy as Snow God of the New York Thruway. And the shuffling of lifts on Hunter East reconfigured the ski area's novice terrain into a more logical progression (true green-circle skiers, however, will be better off at nearby Belleayre, where the Lightning Quad serves an incredible pod of long and winding beginner runs).These 2024 improvements build on considerable upgrades from the Peak and Slutzky eras, including the 2018 Hunter North expansion and the massive learning center at Hunter East. If Hunter is to remain a cheap and accessible Epic Pass fishing net to funnel New Yorkers north to Stowe and west to Park City, even as neighboring Windham tilts ever more restrictive and expensive, then Vail is going to have to be creative and aggressive in how the mountain manages all those skiers. These upgrades are a promising start.Why you should ski Hunter MountainThink of a thing that is a version of a familiar thing but hits you like a completely different thing altogether. Like pine trees and palm trees are both trees, but when I first encountered the latter at age 19, they didn't feel like trees at all, but like someone's dream of a tree who'd had one described to them but had never actually seen one. Or horses and dolphins: both animals, right? But one you can ride like a little vehicle, and the other supposedly breathes air but lives beneath the sea plotting our extinction in a secret indecipherable language. Or New York-style pizza versus Domino's, which, as Midwest stock, I prefer, but which my locally born wife can only describe as “not pizza.”This is something like the experience you will have at Hunter Mountain if you show up knowing a good lot about ski areas, but not much about this ski area. Because if I had to make a list of ski areas similar to Hunter, it would include “that Gwar concert I attended at Harpos in Detroit when I was 18” and “a high-tide rescue scene in a lifeguard movie.” And then I would run out of ideas. Because there is no ski area anywhere remotely like Hunter Mountain.I mean that as spectacle, as a way to witness New York City's id manifest into corporeal form. Your Hunter Mountain Bingo card will include “Guy straightlining Racer's Edge with unzipped Starter jacket and backward baseball cap” and “Dude rocking short-sleeves in 15-degree weather.” The vibe is atomic and combustible, slightly intimidating but also riotously fun, like some snowy Woodstock:And then there's the skiing. I have never skied terrain like Hunter's. The trails swoop and dive and wheel around endless curves, as though carved into the Tower of Babel, an amazing amount of terrain slammed into an area that looks and feels constrained, like a bound haybale that, twine cut, explodes across your yard. Trails crisscross and split and dig around blind corners. None of it feels logical, but it all comes together somehow. Before the advent of Google Maps, I could not plot an accurate mental picture of how Hunter East, West, North, and whatever the hell they call the front part sat in relation to one another and formed a coherent single entity.I don't always like being at Hunter. And yet I've skied there more than I've skied just about anywhere. And not just because it's close. It's certainly not cheap, and the road in from the Thruway is a real pain in the ass. But they reliably spin the lifts from November to April, and fast lifts on respectable vert can add up quick. And the upside of crazy? Everyone is welcome.Podcast NotesOn Hunter's lift upgradesHunter orchestrated a massive offseason lift upgrade last year, moving the old Broadway (B) lift over to Hunter East, where the mountain demolished a 1968 Hall Double named “E,” and planted its third six-pack on a longer Broadway line. Check the old lines versus the new ones:On six-packs in New York StateNew York is home to more ski areas than any other state, but only eight of them run high-speed lifts, and only three host six-packs: Holiday Valley has one, Windham, next door to Hunter, has another, and Hunter owns the other three.On five new lifts at Jack Frost Big BoulderPart of Vail Resorts' massive 2022 lift upgrades was to replace eight old chairlifts at Jack Frost and Big Boulder with five modern fixed-grip quads.At Jack Frost, Paradise replaced the E and F doubles; Tobyhanna replaced the B and C triples; and Pocono replaced the E and F doubles:Over at Big Boulder, the Merry Widow I and II double-doubles made way for the Harmony quad. Vail also demolished the parallel Black Forest double, which had not run in a number of years. Blue Heron replaced an area once served by the Little Boulder double and Edelweiss Triple – check the side-by-side with Big Boulder's 2008 trailmap:Standing up so many lifts in such a short time is rare, but we do have other examples:* In 1998, Intrawest tore down up to a dozen legacy lifts and replaced them with five new ones: two high-speed quads, two fixed-grip quads, and the Cabriolet bucket lift (basically a standing gondola). A full discussion on that here.* American Skiing Company installed at least four chairlifts at Sugarbush in the summer of 1995, including the Slide Brook Express, a two-mile-long lift connection between its two mountains. More here.* Powder Mountain installed four chairlifts last summer.* Deer Valley built five chairlifts last summer, including a bubble six-pack, and is constructing eight more lifts this year.On Mad River Mountain, OhioMad River is about as prototypical a Midwest ski area as you can imagine: 300 vertical feet, 144 acres, 36 inches of average annual snowfall, and an amazing (for that size) nine ski lifts shooting all over the place:On Vail Resorts' acquisition timelineHunter is one of 17 U.S. ski areas that Vail purchased as part of its 2019 acquisition of Peak Resorts.On Hunter's 2018 expansionWhen Peak opened the Hunter West expansion for the 2018-19 ski season, a number of new glades appeared on the map:Most of those glades disappeared from the map. Why? We discuss.On Epic Pass accessHunter sits on the same unlimited Epic Local Pass tier as Okemo, Mount Snow, Breckenridge, Keystone, Crested Butte, and Stevens Pass.

Braga, King, and Ski talk about Empire Records. It has a huge cult following and introduced the world to Rex Manning Day. It's a time capsule to the mid 90s complete with Liv Tyler, Renée Zellweger, and GWAR, but is it any good? Listen!

This week things get gross as we discuss GWAR and their moderately popular album Scumdogs of the Universe, released on Jan.8 1990.

This week, Michael Bishop aka Blöthar the Berserker sits in to discuss the writing and recording of the fan favorite 1992 single from GWAR, "The Road Behind." Michael and Chris dive into the song's creation, unpacking the lyrics, instrumentation, and unique production choices that set it apart in GWAR's catalog. They explore the band's history, their punk rock roots, and how humor and satire have always been key to their approach. The conversation also touches on the challenges GWAR faced while touring and the importance of fan reception in shaping the band's legacy. Fans of GWAR and newcomers alike will appreciate the insight into the genius behind the chaos.
