I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going?
Like, do I bring spare clothing or do I take transit home as is and just explain to everyone that the blood and semen I am covered in is fake and then simply answer any follow up questions the police they call have for me?
Wear an all white shirt or buy a new white GWAR shirt and wear that.
People will let you go in front of them because they'll know/assume it's your first GWAR experience.
Its generally a great community to newcomers. Or at least it was in the days of Brockie. RIP. I haven't been to more than a couple shows since his death so I'm a bit OOTL.
You're supposed to get your white gwar shirt covered in GWAR excrement (they spray/douse the crowd with fake blood, piss, shit, cum, etc, regularly. So be aware of that too.)
The idea is veteran GWAR goers wear their never-washed very colorful GWAR shirts as a sign of being part of the crowd, saying it's not your first time, etc.
Maybe I will just buy a shirt. If it does stain, I might put it on display.
“In this room, I keep my white t-shirt soaked in blood, cum, and feces. And over here is the veranda”.
I wonder if there ever were fake fans coming with tees covered in real piss\shit\cum\blood.
When I went I didn't bring any spare clothes. Took the train home. I don't think the color sticks much.
It was a long time ago but I don't remember any weird looks from anyone or feeling any different from leaving other concerts.
Gwar was a ton of fun and I hope you have a blast!
I am not much of a concert person, but I am really hoping I do get to go to this one. I have been aware of them forever; never heard their music before today. It’s… the most mediocre metal I have ever heard. But to be fair, I am obviously going for the performance and pageantry more than anything else.
Well, a big part of the show is getting people in the front all wet and sticky. Making a real mess!!!
This is done by hitting watermellons with giant mallots, and spraying everyone with the chaos!
.....wait. I'm thinking of Gallagher. They should tour together.
The fluids are all water based so they don't ruin their costumes, along with the venues. When I saw them a few years ago there were some people with white shirts on that just looked red by the end of the show. Looking in the mirror I could tell my face was redder than usual, but I'm also pretty pale. Being wet was more annoying than being red, but I also had to drive myself.
What have I done?
You forgot to turn off targeted ads?
🍆🩸😭
GWAR?
Yes, that one.
SKA?
No one really cares about their music, but Scumdogs of the Universe is their best album. It’s all about the stage show.
I like the music, but I have terrible taste. Beyond Hell is still in frequent rotation for me.
A tangent. But if you have any murders you need to commit, doing them on the night of the show near the venue just before it lets out might make it easy to escape the scene.
One time at a GWAR show I got sprayed right in the face with a stream of fake blood and it dyed my contacts red for a day or so.
Definitely dress down lol. And make sure you have fun in all that noise and muck!
Edit: just read the body. If anyone asks, just tell them you're not one to spill a secret and give em a lil wink ;)
I am looking forward to the muck. None of this is even confirmed but I am excited and comforted by the thoughts of being soaked in blood and semen and feces.
My weekend is not officially over but it functionally is. I have been talking with interesting people for a bit.
Eh, I went to dinner after a show at a local spot and they were completely unphased. The fake blood wasn't sticky, it just stains everything. Bring an extra shirt if you're really concerned, and/or a towel for your car seat if you drive.
