People of Earth take heed for GWAR was coming to town to close out their “Lust In Space” CD and would be doing this tour with their other Metal Blade Records colleagues Job For A Cowboy and The Red Chord. The scene of the insidious crime would be The Fillmore NY and it was sure to be an unforgettable night of Metal madness. It had been a long time since we caught GWAR in concert in terms of how many concerts I had seen since the last time I witnessed their mayhem and their shows are always a wonderful trip to the abbatoir. That means slaughterhouse in case you were wondering so hold on tight and learn more by clicking the logo below. It will take you to the full article and photos on the main PiercingMetal.com website.
Drummer Jizmak da Gushers kit
Before the band came on we snapped a shot of drummer Jizmak’s kit as it was surrounded by various implements of destruction in terms of shields, swords and battle axes. If you look closely you can even see a couple of demonic baby figures between the two kick drums. Tonight was going to be a lot of dangerous fun.
Balsac's microphone stand base
What you see above is the microphone stand base for rhythm guitarist Balsac the Jaws Of Death. We snapped this because it not only said GWAR but also had a little cartoon graphic of Balsac which lets the road crew slaves know whose equipment it is when they are setting it up.

FINALLY KEN!! I’ve been waiting for this review. This happened to be the most memorable show I have ever been too for a few reasons. First, It was my first GWAR show and I was utterly NOT prepared. I go in wearing regular clothes thinking it was a normal show, but of course it’s not. I met up with some of my friends and they told me abt what happens during the show so I check my bag and coat. Then, the show started; now me being at the front at the metal gate I almost died. GWAR was halfway through there first song and I start to go down, along with a million other people on top of me. Now although I almost died, it was such an amazing set and I was covered and soaked in GWAR jizz hehe. Hands down best show performance I’ve seen.
