GWAR is not your average Metal band, to say the least... The band consists of a group of guys dressed up as aliens from another planet, putting on a theatrical show comprised of killing celebrities and political figures and spraying "blood" onto the bodies and clothing of entire crowds. Their use of props highly showcases their creativity and plays a huge role in the band's live show.

So why go to a GWAR show? I think the question is why not go to a GWAR show? Whether you're a Metal fan or not, the entertainment this band provides alone should be enough to get you out to witness such weirdness.

Things you should be aware of before attending a GWAR show:

1. You will see all of the following celebrities and political figures murdered throughout the duration of the show: The Pope, President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Sharon Osborne, Michael Jackson, and more.

2. You'll notice plastic garbage bags wrapped around pillars and electrical equipment all over in an effort to protect the venue.

3. You will not be able to escape the "blood" even if you're in the balcony or in the back of the venue. You will be sprayed. It's inevitable.

4. Yes, the "blood" will come out of your clothing in the wash. A little red and green food coloring never hurt anyone.

I personally am not one for much Metal, but this band truly fascinated me Friday night. It's not every day you can say you saw Sharon Osborne's breasts being ripped off or President Bush's intestines being ripped out and eaten.

It all sounds disgusting, and it was. But the point is, if you pass up the opportunity to actually be in the same room as GWAR, you're going to miss out on a world of insanity. Plus, the looks you'll receive on your way home, covered in red and green, will be priceless.
