In 97 i went to My first gwar concert. My Dad said "im glad that those interdimensional space Vikings are still harvesting souls". Now my child sent me this video. Im glad that they are still harvesting souls. I'll take her to thier show when they come around
My only complaint is that apparently the algorithm is moving two months slower for me. What the heck is this, algorithm! ..but it is kinda strange, yet also impressive, that it seems to know that GWAR is the only thing in the A. V. club that will interest me.
When I did EMDR therapy the therapist told me to come up with a happy safe place that I could think of at the end of each session to come back down from talking about trauma and such. I chose the crowd of a GWAR show with Brockie belting out Sick of You.
Brockie's dead man. They should have just stopped the project then. It shows they care more about the money then the art. Could have started a new project with a new name keeping the same basic idea even playing GWAR songs but to respect David and everything he did to just keep using his brand seems really fucked to me. I could be totally wrong and maybe this is what David would have wanted but from the outside looking in it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
@@2l2lgaming3 I've seen people online say that Dave wanted the band to outlive him and carry on doing music and other projects. GWAR has lost great talent over the decades like Danielle Stampe, Chuck Varga, Don Draculich, Dave Musel, Hunter Jackson etc I'm glad these losses don't mean the end for GWAR Yes it's not the same without Dave but I think that gwar has never been the same, it's always changing styles and members come and go as they please A recent case is when Brent Purgason left, they got a member from Cancer Christ to take the spot and he's great. As long as GWAR continues to find great talent, gwar will not die. (Apologies if I got the spelling of names wrong)
@@2l2lgaming3 I like the idea of Gwar as an immortal concept rather than a specific set of individuals. People live and die but we cannot allow the Gwar concept to die with them. Gwar must live forever.
@@2l2lgaming3there's always one who talks about stuff they have absolutely no understanding of and try to look smart and compassionate but come off ignorant and selfish. So.....there is the whole fact that Dave Brockie threw every penny he made ( that he didn't spend on crack and food) back into the slumdog universe.....with the SOLE intention of funding it to continue AFTER he was gone. He has literally said in multiple interviews that he wanted it to carry on after he died and puts all his money into ensuring that happens. So here you come, saying it's disrespectful to respect someone's dying wishes and keep a band going that he put all his money in time into hoping it would continue. Do you hear yourself? Its funny that you think you know what Dave wanted and what is disrespectful to him more than he did. Screw the fact he's on record saying what's happening now with what was exactly what he wanted....we will just believe you instead of the actual person you're talking about. Also his name was Dave, he never went by David.
Everyone knows GWAR, I didn’t get it when I was young but now it all makes sense. These guys don’t make music for money, they make music because music is awesome.
If you ask GWAR if they make music because music is awesome, GWAR will tell you without missing a beat “fuck you, we make music for money to buy injectable drugs”… 😂
I lost my job last week and have been in a suicidal depression ever since, i really loved that job, my crew, my residents, and my people, and losing it was really hard (new owners getting rid of full time positions and the highest paid hourlies) but this snapped me out of it. I want to live in a world where this cover exists
Thank you for staying 💖that’s a hell of a blow, I’m glad that this is the glimmer that you found to hold on to. Music is medicine, great music + theatrical flair is the best medicine 🥰
@@jdknows8314 I agree. I am sure all of us fans have our favorite era as they morph through time and space but the one thing we can always agree on is they are still the best after all these years. 🖤
I love how they said they’ll eat your car in a reference to GWAR theme. I hope their first album with Grodius sounds like the middle sections of this song.
Ive seen GWAR 19 times now (once a year since i first saw them in 2005, minus 2020 obviously, but i did see them twice in 2006 so...) i am desperately hoping, with my soul, that they keep touring until at least 2027...my son was born in 2019 and one of the first things i established early with his mom was that i have permission (we're not together) to take him to a concert when he reaches age 8...its sooooo close i can already picture it.. PLEASE keep touring
My husband was a huge Gwar fan. I've been to 12 Gwar concerts and been on stage with them. I miss them both so fn much. He always wanted to go to a Gwar-B-Q. Guess he kind of is one now. 💜
I grew up hearing about gwar and how 'sick'/neg they were. Mostly cause I grew up in the church. This is my first time actually laying eyes on the band and nothing could have prepared me for this level of camp. I fucking love it.
So so glad AV Undercover is back!!! No shade at all, but this show is more important to me than any Tiny Desk or anything, used to binge them daily in college! Let's keep it going!!!
@@johngambino but here you are both of you listening still to the new Gwar . Oderus may not be here ,but here is the rest of Gwar and they were never an one man show. Sure Earth is not the same without him and the rest of the gang still knows it ( phantom limb, fuck this place, we are completely fucked)
I’ve known of GWAR for a long long time but for some reason this is the first time I’ve heard them perform. I am saddened at the loss I’ve inflicted on myself all this time. I will be remedying this immediately. GWAR rules
I went to my first Gwar show last month after not having listened to them for about 20 years. Man I didnt realize what I had been missing out on! Easily the most fun I've had at a concert in years. Buddies and I came in white and left in red, it was awesome. 🤘
So nice for Gwar to provide a ray of sunshine in this awful world that Gwar wish they could be worse than, but outpaced them long ago. I long for a world of being fed to a giant space maggot over this
This is going to sound weird, but this made me tear up. My late best friend loved gwar, he used to play it on his radio show in college in the late 1980s and early '90s. He didn't live to see the Barbie movie, but he would have loved that, and he would have loved this.
For people who are long-term followers of the band, it is sentimental. They've been through so much and so many members so this song kind of looking at all they're about and all they've been through is sweet and nostalgic.
I got teary eyed as well. My ex husband had been one of my best friends since we were like 14 and we watched GWAR's "movies", listened to a ton of GWAR, and years later went and saw them a few times (Ragnarök era, we were 20 by then). Even after we spilt, we stayed friends and I was friends with his 2nd wife (we were all friends when we were teens). He passed away 2 months before his 36th birthday and when I turned 36 about 5 months later, it was the first time I'd ever been older than him. It's been 13 years now and whenever I see stuff like this, it makes me think of him and how much he would have loved this.
I was listening to AV covers more than my playlist of og tracks. Mac Demarco's cover of The Sweater song is my favorite version, but I can never forget how GWAR crushing wayward son. Welcome back AV Club
GWAR is so great. They transcend time and space. I am both too young to have been around since the beginning and too old for having been a fan for so long.
Gwar is an absurdly constant force. When you are tired of Gwar and take yourself too seriously, you are tired of life. If they ever team up with Weird Al, it will be the most obscenely wholesome event.
In 97 i went to My first gwar concert. My Dad said "im glad that those interdimensional space Vikings are still harvesting souls". Now my child sent me this video. Im glad that they are still harvesting souls. I'll take her to thier show when they come around

You are a good dad
so wait, are they harvesting souls to feed to their giant worm, or are they harvesting the souls to power interplanetary conquest?
@@raydgreenwald7788 Yes.
They're on tour this year. 😁

Sorry for your loss

They started either 84 or 85

I love that they are a solid band and the theatrics just make everything more fun.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is a new level of musicality for GWAR.
GWAR always had excellent musicians. So glad they are still around.

hopefully the comment section isn’t far behind!!

this was so transformative it is hard to even call it a cover.
