Excellent. GWAR is an anomaly for me, as the only band I’ve repeatedly seen perform without ever listening to an entire album. I knew a little bit about the origins of the band and the tragedies they’d faced, but even as a fan, this gave me a lot more appreciation for the artistry that shaped (and continues to shape) it all. Loved seeing the sheer amount of archival footage in this doc and the surprising number times that GWAR has appeared in mainstream entertainment. Definitely a worthwhile watch, whether you’re a superfan or simply looking to be entertained by one of the most unique bands of our lifetime.
is made really go deeper in to GWAR
A powerful story about an amazing group of artists whose music, videos, and carnage! The rawness of their interviews, the entire inception, and the unique insights they provide really make the documentary special. As a viewer, it's extremely well-made, but as a fan, it's a true love letter.
thrre are very frw thibgs on this planet that are as good as seeing Gwar live, especially their halloween shows. beibg fed to the worm and blasted with fake blood and green goo. such a great time. and theyre all super lovely in prrson. ill see them live aby abd every chance i have. been seeing them sibce i was 15 and am nearing 40 now! if you haven't then i highly recommend you start seeing thrm in concert before this crude planet is destroyed!
Been a fan since I was I think 14. Just too bad that the doc ends on that note. Glad they carry on with their attempt to destroy this foul planet.
