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?
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.
I’ve never been into them either. Their show is well worth it though.
It was over a decade ago and before Oderus died. I’m sure it’ll still be fun though
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”.
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.
So it washes out or should I not wear a light coloured shirt I am in love with?
What have I done?
No one really cares about their music, but Scumdogs of the Universe is their best album. It’s all about the stage show.
GWAR?
My phone autocorrected it to all caps so I know I have stumbled on to a big deal.
gwar?
Pretty sure it is GWAR and then I should probably put an exclamation point after it.
