gwar, in some respects, was the alice cooper/ozzy osbourne of my childhood. i had already kinda understood the schtick of those two, but gwar took it over the edge and right up your ass. if you want their crowning achievement, pick up scumdogs of the universe, a record that dominated my cd player from 1990-1993. they were crass, violent, perverted... everything that an awkward middle school kid could want. with a guitarist named Balsac, come on.... i was hooked. though they often sound more poppy and almost punk rock than metal, look at those fucking costumes! how can you play in that shit? now that's metal...
