Gwar's Mike Bishop Talks Band's Biggest Celebrity Fans

Heavy metal icons Gwar have been quite enigmatic throughout their 30+ years in the music scene, and the band recently unveiled a retrospective documentary, This Is Gwar, which follows the space-born scumdogs from their earliest origins all the way through to the current incarnation of the legendary band. Ahead of the doc's home video release, PopCulture.com had a chance to speak with lead vocalist Mike Bishop (Blöthar the Berserker, formerly bassist Beefcake the Mighty) and get some insight on the film. Bishop also shared what it's been like to have celebrity fans over the years, and offered some incredibly kind words for Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale, who the band just worked with on their new album.

As someone who has seen Gwar over 30xs this is awesome. Back in the late 90s outside of Philly in the 69thst area there used to be a crappy bar called The Speakeasy. My band was playing there one night and we used to cover Sick of You. After we got done I was sitting at the bar and this dude came up and was like yo that was awesome that you did Sick of You and you guys killed it. After chatting for a bit he finally told me who he was. It was Hunter Jackson aka Techno Destructo. He was living in the area and was promoting his wrestling thing. Then about a year later my dad was getting an operation at U Penn and Casey Orrs I think Dad was in the same room and I got to meet him. I love every inception of this band.
