GWAR cover "I'm Just Ken" (from 'Barbie The Album') by Ryan Gosling 

RIP Oderus Urungus

You are a good dad

so wait, are they harvesting souls to feed to their giant worm, or are they harvesting the souls to power interplanetary conquest?

​@@raydgreenwald7788 Yes.

They're on tour this year. 😁

Too late in the year for production, but enough time for the summer 2025 swimsuit releases.

@@darthandeddeuthe Summer of Gwar begins now. Get your Gwar ready body to the beach and piss off the normies!

Gwarbie

I'd buy those.

Viking Metal Barbie

When I did EMDR therapy the therapist told me to come up with a happy safe place that I could think of at the end of each session to come back down from talking about trauma and such. I chose the crowd of a GWAR show with Brockie belting out Sick of You.

Gwar is therapeutic

That's just GWAR.

LOL

Please no one else give a thumbs up! Perfect the way it is lol

There it is

😂❤🎉 Gwarbie!!

You win yes yes yes yesss

Add some pyrotechnics, we'd have Gwarbenheimer!

I think the band turns 40 years old next year They started either 84 or 85

Brockie's dead man. They should have just stopped the project then. It shows they care more about the money then the art. Could have started a new project with a new name keeping the same basic idea even playing GWAR songs but to respect David and everything he did to just keep using his brand seems really fucked to me. I could be totally wrong and maybe this is what David would have wanted but from the outside looking in it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

@@2l2lgaming3 I've seen people online say that Dave wanted the band to outlive him and carry on doing music and other projects. GWAR has lost great talent over the decades like Danielle Stampe, Chuck Varga, Don Draculich, Dave Musel, Hunter Jackson etc I'm glad these losses don't mean the end for GWAR Yes it's not the same without Dave but I think that gwar has never been the same, it's always changing styles and members come and go as they please A recent case is when Brent Purgason left, they got a member from Cancer Christ to take the spot and he's great. As long as GWAR continues to find great talent, gwar will not die. (Apologies if I got the spelling of names wrong)

@@2l2lgaming3 I like the idea of Gwar as an immortal concept rather than a specific set of individuals. People live and die but we cannot allow the Gwar concept to die with them. Gwar must live forever.

​​@@2l2lgaming3there's always one who talks about stuff they have absolutely no understanding of and try to look smart and compassionate but come off ignorant and selfish. So.....there is the whole fact that Dave Brockie threw every penny he made ( that he didn't spend on crack and food) back into the slumdog universe.....with the SOLE intention of funding it to continue AFTER he was gone. He has literally said in multiple interviews that he wanted it to carry on after he died and puts all his money into ensuring that happens. So here you come, saying it's disrespectful to respect someone's dying wishes and keep a band going that he put all his money in time into hoping it would continue. Do you hear yourself? Its funny that you think you know what Dave wanted and what is disrespectful to him more than he did. Screw the fact he's on record saying what's happening now with what was exactly what he wanted....we will just believe you instead of the actual person you're talking about. Also his name was Dave, he never went by David.

GWAR always had excellent musicians. So glad they are still around.

Those guitar harmonies and that Grodius touch on the solos~

They have degrees in music 🎶. Literally genuinely genius.

@@patrickmcbrewhouse so they were super off time on purpose because they're geniuses?

@@avgytenjoyer91time is merely a construct, created by the man to keep you down

They’re not from Richmond!

Best band from Scumdoggia

Richmond, Antarctica

That's your opinion!

@@rcptclrecordingsthey are definitely from Richmond, VA.

Hear hear.

I'm sorry for your loss. It is good to see that GWAR continues to rule the universe 🙌

Sorry for your loss

RIP to a fellow bohab!

for John!

Nice

It should be "They GWAR kenough"

I remember seeing them on the Jerry Springer show back in the day lol

If you ask GWAR if they make music because music is awesome, GWAR will tell you without missing a beat “fuck you, we make music for money to buy injectable drugs”… 😂

It’s been depressing to see a once great website brought so low, hope they keep this up and bring some light back to it

hopefully the comment section isn’t far behind!!

I am glad AV Club is back and has GWAR again making things interesting!

Welcome back! There are good things in the world, and you’ll find more of them. ❤

Thank you for staying 💖that’s a hell of a blow, I’m glad that this is the glimmer that you found to hold on to. Music is medicine, great music + theatrical flair is the best medicine 🥰

Gwar be with you

Sorry to hear that happened. Stay strong, and theres probably an even better job out there for you.

Man k know the feeling I lost mine I loved almost two years ago and still ain't got anything as good but music keeps me going love gwar new and old

Also Hail Flattus.

Not the same since slymenstra hymen is gone.

@@jdknows8314 I agree. I am sure all of us fans have our favorite era as they morph through time and space but the one thing we can always agree on is they are still the best after all these years. 🖤

Oderus didn't die, he moved on. His mission was complete, but GWAR's mission carries on.

Dave Brockie died Oderus lives forever.

Isn't that a studio they are in?

​@@michaelconfoy2862🤷‍♂️

@@michaelconfoy2862there’s a difference between a studio mixed recording and a live performance recorded in a studio

​@@michaelconfoy2862 🤔 ...quiet, you

I think you mean, liquid sunshine. But yeah, what you said.

Well played. cheers!

Without Brockie Gwar lacks a sophisticated element. There’s no heart here.

@@johngambino but here you are both of you listening still to the new Gwar . Oderus may not be here ,but here is the rest of Gwar and they were never an one man show. Sure Earth is not the same without him and the rest of the gang still knows it ( phantom limb, fuck this place, we are completely fucked)

​@@johngambino gwar? sophisticated?

no, they're just GWAR

Perfect idea!

Yesss! Huh-huh! 🤘🏻

IKR 😂😂

You mean like this? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7sGF2nyCmr4.html or like this...? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cg2-ovLeSJE.html

I mean, they did that GWAR cartoon together

GWAR and AL need to do a tour together!!

Not gonna lie I thought the av club had broken ties with them after the trump Hillary fight in the last av cover.

@@Tinfoil_is_the_new_black which was that?

Me too! I'm cautiously optimistic about the new owners of the A.V. Club.

This is quite possibly the worst thing the band has ever done.

@@jesseray4728 oh no not even close. I guess you never heard the album This Toilet Earth.

​@@mandolinistry3207 I love that album. 😆

​@@mandolinistry3207You are thinking of "We Kill Everything." Toilet Earth was solid.

You’ve obviously never listened to their song “Have You Seen Me” or their slew of other songs of that flavor lol

Must be one of them, what are they called? They go good with Barbie q ?

@@bayseeOr Fucking An Animal.

It’s coming.

@@10FadeToBlack10has there been any mention online of a timeframe? We all know it’s coming with grodius but when is my question.

@@10FadeToBlack10 Get a towel!

For people who are long-term followers of the band, it is sentimental. They've been through so much and so many members so this song kind of looking at all they're about and all they've been through is sweet and nostalgic.

I got teary eyed as well. My ex husband had been one of my best friends since we were like 14 and we watched GWAR's "movies", listened to a ton of GWAR, and years later went and saw them a few times (Ragnarök era, we were 20 by then). Even after we spilt, we stayed friends and I was friends with his 2nd wife (we were all friends when we were teens). He passed away 2 months before his 36th birthday and when I turned 36 about 5 months later, it was the first time I'd ever been older than him. It's been 13 years now and whenever I see stuff like this, it makes me think of him and how much he would have loved this.

Couldn't agree more

Establishing his dominance. .

I feel like we're cheating at something.

Is it even GWAR if we can't count the pixels?

Right? The thumbnail made me think it was going to be some AI shit.

​@@KniGhTKrawLeR9That says alot about the uniqueness of their theme and how far they are willing to go for their performances. Art is beauty. AI can't recreate it without an artist that would have come from the angle of doing that stuff to begin with. So to be fair, the AI still requires an extravagant artist to even reflect those ideas properly!
