Gwar
\n4-10-13
\nThe Rialto<\/p>\n

A good 18 years since witnessing the great Gwar on TV, what used to be real music television back in the
\n90\u2019s, known as MTV and today in the very present I will have opportunity to see Gwar live, on stage, up
\nclose and in my face and still I had no idea what to expect or see.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the venue approximately 2 hours before Gwar would be taking the stage I decided to wander
\nthrough various parts of the venue, seeing some I knew and more that I didn\u2019t but giving myself the
\nopportunity to strike up conversations with whomever welcomed my presence. Enjoying the constant
\nchitter chatter anywhere I turned, listening and taking it all in we all had one purpose, a commonality
\nand excitement for the main and final act to take the stage and give us a show that would end up being
\nvery orgasmic.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just about that time, as I make my way through the crowd to post and prepare, I look back into the
\ncrowd and its growing and chanting\u2026.Gwar\u2026.Gwar\u2026.Gwar\u2026.Gwar\u2026.no care in the world, the audience
\nfilled with all ages, races, sizes and sexes sharing that one common bond, Music,<\/p>\n

For a moment the stage semi lit and just as quick the stage went dark, the crowd behind me going wild,
\nthey know, it\u2019s about to happen and before I could take cover and shield myself from the amounts of
\nred being sprayed out into the audience I too had been hit, Gwar had erupted in their most grotesque,
\nscience fiction, horror film inspired attire and the red continuing to shower us in large amounts, the
\naudience getting more and more rowdy as if they were asking for it and in a sick twisted kind of way
\nthey were.<\/p>\n

So dramatic, so graphical and the language so vulgar the performance was far from being PG 13 but
\nmore like rated R with a slight twist of x-rated that included peeling the skin from women mannequins
\nto expose the muscle mass underneath and red shooting out from the nipples, beheading various known
\nicons such as President Obama or Adolf Hitler and shooting out from the necks, Jesus Christ on the cross
\nand within moments de-skinned, legs and arms removed and red just gushing out of all possible orifices,
\neven the lead singer with his ginormous penis strap on cuming profusely with red all over the audience.<\/p>\n

The show was a high energy melodramatic heavy metal concert full of surprises and never a dull
\nmoment. There is truly no amount of words if any that can describe or come close to what took place,
\nwhat I saw with my own eyes or do this performance justice. This is one of those events that has to be
\nwitnessed live by oneself to feel, see and hear the experience. Seeing them on TV about 18 years ago
\nvs. seeing them live is so night and day and gives me a better understanding what the hype was all about
\nback in the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
