My art teacher got GWAR to come to my high school as guest speakers for mixed media and we got pictures and stuff after. Definitely one of the coolest experiences.
You had a great art teacher. Art should challenge & start discussions, even if it's not 'great' art. I don't really listen to GWAR but I'm glad they exist!
Saw Gwar this past Thursday in Florida, the boys working security were the best part of the show. Their reactions were incredible, fluctuating between disgust and horror and settling on just pretending it wasn't there.
I saw them at Soundwave in Australia during the Prime Ministership of ultra conservative Tony Abbott. The band brought a fake Abbott doll on stage and beheaded it, with bloody spraying from the neck all over the pit. One security guard got really pissed off about it and had to be taken away
I saw Powerman 5000 live a few weeks ago (I only knew When Worlds Collide but the tix were super cheap so screw it lets go) and Spider One's charisma and energy was through the roof. I was jumping up and down, learning the chorus' of so many songs and screaming them by the end of the songs. Fantastic show, fantastic energy and 100000/10 would see again
PM5K did a show in my town a few years back at this venue. There were like 150 people there, tops. It made my life- I'd managed to not be able to see a single show since Blood Splat Rating System & seeing one of my favorite bands show up & put just as much out there in this small town like they were on main stage at a festival was...just awesome. Spider hit the bus after the show, but the rest of the band just hung out & had some drinks. Awesome dudes to chat with.
First time i heard Powerman 5000 was in 2001 when i was 7yo playing THPS2 that game had a lot of bangers Alley Life, Naughty by Nature, Lagwagon, Millencolin, Papa Roach, Fu Manchu, Anthrax/Public Enemy, Swingin' Utters, Consumed and Styles of Beyond. That game is the reason why i love metal, rap and pop punk
As someone who's worked with gwar for years, it's amazing how out of context people don't get it, but as you show them interviews with them like the famous Joan rivers show or just show them the live show, it just almost automatically clicks and it goes from "oh :/" to "OH! That's awesome!" It's how I explained to my parents why there was videos of me getting killed onstage. Gwar is something that has to be experienced.
One of my first CD's ever was Sensucht by Rammstein. Lets just say the album art was not friendly for a (then) 12 year old back in the late 90's with the band photos of being pierced/spiked etc... My mom took that CD away SO fast it made me like Rammstein even more so thanks Mom!
Wow! My son's first proper gig was Rammstein. He was 8 years old at the time and had been to a few small local festivals with me, but seeing Rammstein was a whole nother thing!
@@jackiejo3812 Try a new connection with your kid through the rapper Tom MacDonald. White dude that speaks the truth and has gotten attention from the white house for all the truthful things he raps about. And he's fully independent and successful without the industry forcing him into contracts.
Gwar was my first concert - and it was a transcendent experience. 1991 at the Crest Theater in Sacramento...Agony Column and Green Jello opened and both bands were amazing.
Surprised we didn't get Lordi "Hard Rock Hallelujah" or maybe even some Downward Spiral era NIN. I mean the video for Closer was as extreme as anything Manson was putting out at that time.
Tank, I love you dude! I saw Alex Hefner react to this the other day but watched this to see your take on it. Mad respect for your musical knowledge , sense of humor and music biz knowledge. Keep all the great content coming!
Speaking about "shock value", HIM was actually close to being "canceled" before canceling wad a thing. Join Me In Death, heartagram... "their music lures young people to "unalive" themselves" etc. was actually said and published in Finland after their break through 😂
dude, to this day I still can't tell my mother the full name of Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 it's been 20ish years and we're both grown ass adults but she still thinks it's just "Greatest Lovesongs" and there are songs on it she's never heard.
The first time I heard Gwar was on an MTV snippet back in the late ‘80s and I went out and bought Hell-o the next day. I still maintain that while the shock may be the first thing you see with Gwar you gotta acknowledge the talent of playing in those costumes with gunk wrapped around your guitar and fluids everywhere. Still got mad respect for them as musicians.
I saw them live for the first time a year or so ago, and there was a 10 year old there and that kid was having a ball, and I have never been so happy to have younger kids hooked on GWAR
I've never thought about it before, but they're right, "Dragula" is absolutely a music video you can smell. I would've appreciated seeing some Arthur Brown, but quite frankly there was more than I was hoping for, so I'm alright with that.
First concert I ever went to was Pantera, White Zombie, Toadies, The Cramps and Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Great show, and it was around Halloween too
Don’t forget, when Tipper Gore and the PMRC came after Metal, the only people who came to help Dee Snyder testify against censorship was Frank Zappa and John Denver.
Going to a gwar concert was such a blast as my first concert. It was a dozen furies, devil driver, and then gwar. My hair and fingers were tainted red from all the blood! Best show ever
I agree that MSI would have been a perfect example. Sad they didn't include them. Saw them as an opening act for SOAD in 2001. Had never heard of them, but arrived at the concert late and MSI was on stage. When we walked past the stage we had to stop. We needed to know who they were so we could find more of their music. SO MUCH ENERGY! They were awesome! Of course SOAD was also. The only act we were disappointed with was Clutch.
Been to three of their concerts where they were the main act, one of which I actively lobbied for (they were going to skip the Netherlands; I contacted their tour management and gave them some testimonials of friends of mine who wanted to see them live, to which I got a reply two weeks later saying: "Good news! Since your request resonated with the band so well, we decided to find a gap in our schedule and found a venue in the Netherlands to give a show!") Absolutely love them to bits and wish they still toured. It's been 10 years since I last saw them in what turned out to be their last visit to the Netherlands :(
hell yeah, Hellbilly Deluxe was my first experience with Rob Zombie, instantly became a fan. easily one of the few albums that i can listen to from start to finish, no skips or nothing.
ROFL! Great reaction to the reaction. That Alice Cooper line is something I am always throwing into conversation, "It's actually pronounced Miewalkey" Loving the Videos Tank.
idk why powerman5000 is here but im stoked these kids know them now. As someone with PM5k across my knuckles and a couple others inspired by the band i was like hellllyeah haha. Edit: I met Rob Zombie at a local comic shop here before one of his shows in 2019 and he was super chill, just buying comics, I specifically remember he had some Judge Dredd in his pile. He said hi, and I showed him my ink and he was so stoked about it haha.
Ah, I love Hellbilly Deluxe - I had a cassette tape I had made off of somebody's CD. I used to blast it in my car when I would drive back from college to visit my family. It helped keep me awake.
its wild seeing this im 24 and i grew up with this music cause of my uncle lol i have even been to slipknot and alice cooper concerts lol like 6 of each
I remember my first live gig, 13 years old Slipknot on the Iowa tour. Last uk date at the n.e.c Birmingham. We literally tore the house down. It was epic
Every time I hear Dragula I have the compulsion to rewatch The Matrix just cuz it was used in the club scene where Neo met Trinity XDDD You weren't kidding when you said the timing was perfect for the Alice Cooper clip, holy shit. Nice one!! Looking forward to your suggested videos for death core!!
I f*cking love role models so you making that reference I got it instantly "even Paul Stanley is sick of kiss" lol I have never been into kiss or gwar tbh but to each their own. Awesome video Tank
MM version of Sweet Dream video clip was something I had scares and creeps back when I was a kid, Beautiful People including. MM, Rammstein, and Rob knows how to shock people, they to me are the pinnacle of what a shock rock is. DuHast wouldn't be the song I would use to describe how shocking is Rammstein, it would be either Feuer Frei, Ich Will, Mein Hertz Brent, or Mann Gegen Mann.
2:19 the "x" in his forehead is a reference to Charles Manson, as part of the "shock". You can look up that historical reference and why it was probably a good idea to remove it from the art...
My first exposure to GWAR was Codename Kids Nextdoor. They have an episode where a character named Grandma Stuffums who sang parody versions of "The Private Pain of Techno Destructo" & "Gor-Gor". It's called F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E.
I’d like to say thank for being so respectful towards gen z during your video. I have been listening to metal & rock literally for my entire life and I am gen z. Right before I watched this video I had watched a video by another commentator reacting to the same vid. He tried gate keeping metal despite getting into metal at a later stage (he admitted himself) and is a millennial, he spend the video complaining about the opinions of the gen z kids and complained when the history of shock rock was brought up and he complained that the one girl felt that is is a white male dominated genre so to then come to your video was so refreshing.
A friend of mine ran a renaissance/medeval shop in a mall in Northern Ky a few years back. It was on a week day. Alice Cooper came shopping at that mall. Got some knock off katana from Naruto cosplay. Well Cooper was using his business credit card for the purchase. Funny enough my friend thought the name on the card was a fraud until Cooper pulled out his I.D. for verification. My friend's shop policy. The way he re-enacted his face was priceless. Cooper went on to perform a show in that area. Having that same sword on stage that night.
Nice man, White Zombie Astro Creep 2000 was the first music CD I bought from my own money :D My mom was confused by the CD (i will not embarrass her by recounting that conversation), but was actually pretty cool about it
Thanks Tank for those videos. They were the kick I needed to buy my teenager music collection back again (sold it for a few bucks like an idiot). Its shocking how cheap Albums of old music are, for a unused one 5-10€. 116€ lighter but again filled with good music memories.🤘

It would be fun to watch them to react Manson's lyrics and interviews.
I think Baba Yaga would be the better pick from STP to show the kids deathcore, way more shock value but also just much more hip-hop influence in the overall song structure that I think they could really latch on to as well. Seeing them play it live was probably one of my favorites from the set too, Alex has so much fun up there
I once saw an accountant dance to Zombie’s ‘P Liquor’ and the dance culminated in her pouring a bucket of blood all over herself in the last minute of the song. It’s the most metal thing I’ve ever seen.
I know I do. Actually working on creating a band around the Alice Cooper style of show and music although a bit more horror than just theatre. I just love the mix of those two things.
a friend gave me Scumdogs of the Universe back in 1990. 10th grade was a helluva fun year. Discovered Gwar, Bolt Thrower, and Death that year. PM5K is not.. shock rock.. IMO, but damn they fun. Saw them live for this Tour, with Sevendust, Skunk Anansie and... Staind? back in 99 in North Carolina.
Depends on the type of reactions you want from them. If you want pure shock then yeah Lorna Shore , Archspire, and the like, but slowly getting them into the metal pool with bands like In Flames or Children of bodom would also be great.
As for Teens React to Deathcore, along those you mentioned we gotta add "Suicide Silence" with "You Only Live Once" for sure. Apart from that i'd add artists that show some diversity. Like Dancing Like Flames by Lorna Shore, Ghost Of Me by Make Them Suffer, Hate Me by Within Destruction, Darko US, About That Life by Attila, WBTBWB, that kind of thing. maybe even sneak in some Beatdown like Speed or Nasty Edit: On obviously Reality Check by No Face No Case would be pure gold.
Heard of GWAR from my brother's external hard drive when I was 14-15 and loved them ever since haha. Powerman5000 was initially from the Dudley Boys entrance theme song in WWF haha
You just said Scar the Martyr and Rob Zombie, were you at Rockfest in Cadott, WI? I think 2017? Great fest, had a blast there... from what I can remember lol.
Shock rock, here we go! Im a 13 year old who somehow fell in love with the genre! I was introduced to it through KISS, and then i think i ended up getting into Alice and Marilyn after that! Theres still so much I gotta discover about the genre, and it might even be possible that I could get into GWAR and Rob Zombie too! Shock rock is fucking awesome!
Twisted metal on PS1 introduced me to Rob Zombie. My parents were egregiously country, or polar opposite iron maiden and Megadeth which missed Rob Zombie entirely. I'm so glad I've been a gamer since age 7. I'm 38 now and so cultured musically compared to my coworkers, friends and family. It helps me tolerate all of them so much more.
Tank, I saw an article about Coldplay tickets going for 400 euros in Helsinki. They have three sold out shows for 40000 people. But the thing is that the tickets are dynamically priced by the ticket sellers. Yes demand and request and you can at least get a ticket from the ticket provider legally instead of the black market. The travel business have been using this method for decades. But still would be interesting about a video specifically about dynamic ticket pricing. You kind of touched the subject with how artists may affect the economy earlier.
Your chat never played Tony hawks pro skater 2 if they've never heard even worlds collide. That was such a banger of a song and that's probably how a lot of us kids heard it for the first time
I bought a brand new white t-shirt for my first GWAR concert back in 1994. It's covered in fake blood, semen, and shit now, but I still have it. Took my daughter to see them in 2017 and we got covered in some sort of blue substance. She had an interview with a lady at the secret service the next day for a school project, lol. Ah, good times.
Seeing them react to Gwar reminded me of seening them last year In Glasgow, best gig I've been to, best mosh pit, best fucking gig Experience ever. Long live Gwar and long live Brockie! Edit: Also seeing Powerman 5000 was a surprise, but I'm all for it, they still slap, and their newer stuff is getting better again idgaf what anyone says lol. Also I would kill to see them react to Skinny Puppy or even Ministry! 🖤🤘
Arthur Brown / The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown. "Fire"...I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you Fire ! About Rob Zombie the director, he said on Harry Potter movies that had he been the director, there would have been more swearing and nudity in them and that was while the Potter series was about halfway.
We all know the images of Dee Snyder excoriating the PMRC. Nobody remembers that Frank Zappa went so hard that he got the "Explicit Lyrics" stamp on an instrumental album (Jazz From Hell).
music is something I see the same way some people see personality, it's a part of everyone that is forever growing, evolving and changing and doesn't ever remain stagnant. To let your tastes stagnate is to do yourself a disservice and it's why I hate the question "What do you listen to" because the answer is for me, and I think for everyone SHOULD be frankly, "Everything" no one genre should solely define your taste and interests
My introduction to gwar was live from Antarctica... My sister introduced me to metal in general It's funny because I've seen gwar multiple times and she has never seen gwar
Hahahaha Gwar. First time I saw them was 1998 in State College, PA. I think it was them and Misfits. It was a f'n blast, only amplified from whatever drugs I was on that evening lol. Now I'm in my 40's, living in Virginia and occasionally grabbing beers at the Gwar Bar in Richmond 🤘
1st saw gwar in the 90s. Been a fan ever since. If you like metal there is nothing like the absurdity of Gwar. Their shows are the best. My daughter's first concert was Gwar.i took her. She has loved the music ever since
Dude. Bring me all the Gen Z Reacts vids from your perspective. You react to them the exact way I do. 😂 And yes, please, a "Gen Z Reacts to Deathcore" would be excellent!
I have an autographed copy of Rob Zombie's The Sinister Urge. The actual CD itself is signed. I got it at Ozzfest the year Drowning Pool had to drop out.
Saw GWAR in like 06. People coming out of the pit were blue. Sounds of the Underground was great. Now that you mentioned Mindless Self Indulgence, kinda surprised too. Shut me up would of been a great vid to use. Combichrist would of been a fun choice, maybe get your body beat.
My art teacher got GWAR to come to my high school as guest speakers for mixed media and we got pictures and stuff after. Definitely one of the coolest experiences.
What?! Where was that? Haha
South Beloit High School (like 300 kids) in Northern Illinois between 2005-2010. They showed up in full makeup and had people shook 😂
I had LL Cool J come to my high school because one of the students won a contest. I'd rather have Gwar come in full outfits instead 😂.
You had a great art teacher. Art should challenge & start discussions, even if it's not 'great' art.
I don't really listen to GWAR but I'm glad they exist!
NO WAY! I have friends that are originally from South Beloit. Hahs
Saw Gwar this past Thursday in Florida, the boys working security were the best part of the show. Their reactions were incredible, fluctuating between disgust and horror and settling on just pretending it wasn't there.
I was at that show too, The only bad thing about that show is that they didn't play long enough.
Hahahahaha. Amazing!
I saw them at Soundwave in Australia during the Prime Ministership of ultra conservative Tony Abbott. The band brought a fake Abbott doll on stage and beheaded it, with bloody spraying from the neck all over the pit. One security guard got really pissed off about it and had to be taken away
I got to see them years ago before Brockie had passed at a small local place called Jesters, but it was a hell of a show.
GWAR were recently on the Tiny Desk Concert series on NPR. They were able to fit the entire band in that small space. It was great!
Wow, NPR? Calm, quiet, their-voices-will-bore-you-to-tears NPR??? 😄
@@dawnieb.7394it’s been 6 months since this comment and I really hope you’ve went and watched some of the tiny desks 🙏🏻

i saw powerman 5000. club south of houston. im drunk. club by band with a famous song. my roomate was te bassist. fun times
I heard bombshell on the radio
First time i heard Powerman 5000 was in 2001 when i was 7yo playing THPS2 that game had a lot of bangers Alley Life, Naughty by Nature, Lagwagon, Millencolin, Papa Roach, Fu Manchu, Anthrax/Public Enemy, Swingin' Utters, Consumed and Styles of Beyond. That game is the reason why i love metal, rap and pop punk
"When Worlds Collide" was in SOOOOO many games back in the day! What an unbeatable banger for anything that needs some solid driving energy.

Gwar is something that has to be experienced.
GWAR are absolutely genius showmen all around. People may not get their music, but they've gotta get the art that's put into the show.

I took German in high school because of them....they are filthy. So glad only I knew what they were saying in my household.
That was 2002.
Seems so long ago.

I thought Lordi was going to appear, I'm surprised they didn't.
Gotta give Alice Cooper some flowers, man...we used to never miss his show's when he'd come around...super theatrical and fun...
After seeing GWAR in a small house show where my buddy’s contacts were died red from fake blood. We saw them every chance we could.

Twisted Metal on the OG PS1 introduced Rob/White Zombie to me. Those soundtracks were so FIRE.

Definitely. Maybe Behemoth, too?
Yeah true, Would kill to see them react to Skinny Puppy, hell even Ministry
Mushroomhead should have been on, not pm5k
Yeah, was hoping for Skinny Puppy or the Mentors
skinny puppy
I saw them live for the first time a year or so ago, and there was a 10 year old there and that kid was having a ball, and I have never been so happy to have younger kids hooked on GWAR
@12:00 "an alien orgy" is a surprisingly apt description of GWAR, generally speaking.
I've never thought about it before, but they're right, "Dragula" is absolutely a music video you can smell. I would've appreciated seeing some Arthur Brown, but quite frankly there was more than I was hoping for, so I'm alright with that.

I commented on the React video saying I couldnt wait for yours and Alex's reaction to the video 😂😂 and here we are.
hell yeah, Hellbilly Deluxe was my first experience with Rob Zombie, instantly became a fan. easily one of the few albums that i can listen to from start to finish, no skips or nothing.
I grew up with White Zombie so to me White Zombie and Rob Zombie are like Van Halen and Van Hagar
GWAR was the best live band I have ever seen. I laughed my ass off. They are a MUST see band!
"Ich liebe dich" to Till is a bit weird timing.. but she wouldn't know that.
ROFL! Great reaction to the reaction. That Alice Cooper line is something I am always throwing into conversation, "It's actually pronounced Miewalkey" Loving the Videos Tank.
we had ICP and Gwar back to back one year at my home venue. That was a wild weekend haha
The most important thing to take away is this. Oderus didn’t die he left this fucking planet!!!
Man tank.i love your videos. I feel like youre a distant friend i havent seem in forever
As gen-z seeing other gen-z "discover" music that I grew up on is always odd, makes me feel like they are 10-20 years younger than me 😅
I'm a millenial, I had this problem with other millenials growing up. Mainly because most of them had boomer parents but mine are gen x
i am in love with jaxon after that last clip

Gwar was always an amazing time. I saw them every single summer from like 2008 to 2013. Unfortunately, I haven't gone to see them since Brockie died.
I'm going to see Mudvayne, Gwar, Nonpoint, Coal Chamber, and Butcher Babies next month. So excited.
its wild seeing this im 24 and i grew up with this music cause of my uncle lol i have even been to slipknot and alice cooper concerts lol like 6 of each

GG Allin would put these kids into therapy
I would imagine anyone who went to one of his shows dragged by a friend and had no idea would need some therapy.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to show these kids GG Allin

Funny enough my friend thought the name on the card was a fraud until Cooper pulled out his I.D. for verification. My friend's shop policy. The way he re-enacted his face was priceless. Cooper went on to perform a show in that area. Having that same sword on stage that night.
Nice man, White Zombie Astro Creep 2000 was the first music CD I bought from my own money :D
My mom was confused by the CD (i will not embarrass her by recounting that conversation), but was actually pretty cool about it
Thanks Tank for those videos. They were the kick I needed to buy my teenager music collection back again (sold it for a few bucks like an idiot). Its shocking how cheap Albums of old music are, for a unused one 5-10€. 116€ lighter but again filled with good music memories.🤘
It would be fun to watch them to react Manson's lyrics and interviews.
I think Baba Yaga would be the better pick from STP to show the kids deathcore, way more shock value but also just much more hip-hop influence in the overall song structure that I think they could really latch on to as well. Seeing them play it live was probably one of my favorites from the set too, Alex has so much fun up there
I once saw an accountant dance to Zombie’s ‘P Liquor’ and the dance culminated in her pouring a bucket of blood all over herself in the last minute of the song. It’s the most metal thing I’ve ever seen.
I remember getting Hellbilly Deluxe with the original cover. Got it for Christmas from my mom. Ah to be 13 again.
I know I do. Actually working on creating a band around the Alice Cooper style of show and music although a bit more horror than just theatre. I just love the mix of those two things.
a friend gave me Scumdogs of the Universe back in 1990. 10th grade was a helluva fun year. Discovered Gwar, Bolt Thrower, and Death that year.
PM5K is not.. shock rock.. IMO, but damn they fun. Saw them live for this Tour, with Sevendust, Skunk Anansie and... Staind? back in 99 in North Carolina.
GWAR Rocks! I'm going to see them tomorrow! Tuesday, July 25th!
I also love watching people react to music I love and know. Especially people that have very different music taste.
Depends on the type of reactions you want from them. If you want pure shock then yeah Lorna Shore , Archspire, and the like, but slowly getting them into the metal pool with bands like In Flames or Children of bodom would also be great.
Dude my English teacher (senior year) showed us GWAR and we all loved it. We pretty much listened to it for the rest of the class
As for Teens React to Deathcore, along those you mentioned we gotta add "Suicide Silence" with "You Only Live Once" for sure. Apart from that i'd add artists that show some diversity. Like Dancing Like Flames by Lorna Shore, Ghost Of Me by Make Them Suffer, Hate Me by Within Destruction, Darko US, About That Life by Attila, WBTBWB, that kind of thing. maybe even sneak in some Beatdown like Speed or Nasty
Edit: On obviously Reality Check by No Face No Case would be pure gold.
Heard of GWAR from my brother's external hard drive when I was 14-15 and loved them ever since haha. Powerman5000 was initially from the Dudley Boys entrance theme song in WWF haha
This was good to see! There is hope
You just said Scar the Martyr and Rob Zombie, were you at Rockfest in Cadott, WI? I think 2017? Great fest, had a blast there... from what I can remember lol.
Shock rock, here we go!
Im a 13 year old who somehow fell in love with the genre! I was introduced to it through KISS, and then i think i ended up getting into Alice and Marilyn after that! Theres still so much I gotta discover about the genre, and it might even be possible that I could get into GWAR and Rob Zombie too!
Shock rock is fucking awesome!
Twisted metal on PS1 introduced me to Rob Zombie. My parents were egregiously country, or polar opposite iron maiden and Megadeth which missed Rob Zombie entirely. I'm so glad I've been a gamer since age 7. I'm 38 now and so cultured musically compared to my coworkers, friends and family. It helps me tolerate all of them so much more.
My daughter age 7 and 15 are metal heads, my 7 yr old went to her first concert on her 5th bday it was the trinity of terror tour pt 1 she loved it
I would love to see Gen-Z discovers extreme metal (Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Suffocation)
Ohhh GWAR!!! the problem is unfortunately that no amount of crazy costumes and gore can save them from their flatline music...hahaha sorry guys!!!!
Im kinda sad there was no wednesday 13 or murderdolls. Thank you for entertainment :)
God bless you
Tank, I saw an article about Coldplay tickets going for 400 euros in Helsinki. They have three sold out shows for 40000 people. But the thing is that the tickets are dynamically priced by the ticket sellers. Yes demand and request and you can at least get a ticket from the ticket provider legally instead of the black market. The travel business have been using this method for decades. But still would be interesting about a video specifically about dynamic ticket pricing. You kind of touched the subject with how artists may affect the economy earlier.
Your chat never played Tony hawks pro skater 2 if they've never heard even worlds collide. That was such a banger of a song and that's probably how a lot of us kids heard it for the first time
I bought a brand new white t-shirt for my first GWAR concert back in 1994. It's covered in fake blood, semen, and shit now, but I still have it. Took my daughter to see them in 2017 and we got covered in some sort of blue substance. She had an interview with a lady at the secret service the next day for a school project, lol. Ah, good times.
@TankTheTech you SHATTERED MY WORLD with that "Part Of Everyday" Kiss Lyrics 😭😭😭
Seeing them react to Gwar reminded me of seening them last year In Glasgow, best gig I've been to, best mosh pit, best fucking gig Experience ever.
Long live Gwar and long live Brockie!
Edit: Also seeing Powerman 5000 was a surprise, but I'm all for it, they still slap, and their newer stuff is getting better again idgaf what anyone says lol.
Also I would kill to see them react to Skinny Puppy or even Ministry! 🖤🤘
You have to go and see Gwar live in order to fully appreciate them and what they're all about.
Dude, lol, GWAR!!! It’s hilarious watching my nephew run to me with thirty year old music and asking if I’ve heard of it. 😂😂😂
I never thought the day would come that KISS and shock rock would be mentioned in the same sentence, but here we are.
Arthur Brown / The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown. "Fire"...I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you Fire !
About Rob Zombie the director, he said on Harry Potter movies that had he been the director, there would have been more swearing and nudity in them and that was while the Potter series was about halfway.
.... this does not surprise me about Rob, not one bit.
@@RickReasonnz Me neither. Perhaps the Potter movies would have had more contrasts between joy and the sinister earlier on.
@TanktheTech for the proposed death core vid: how about the Suicide Silence cover of "Superbeast" as a warm-up?
We all know the images of Dee Snyder excoriating the PMRC. Nobody remembers that Frank Zappa went so hard that he got the "Explicit Lyrics" stamp on an instrumental album (Jazz From Hell).
music is something I see the same way some people see personality, it's a part of everyone that is forever growing, evolving and changing and doesn't ever remain stagnant. To let your tastes stagnate is to do yourself a disservice and it's why I hate the question "What do you listen to" because the answer is for me, and I think for everyone SHOULD be frankly, "Everything" no one genre should solely define your taste and interests
"I first found out about GWAR from the Beavis and Butthead video game when I was like, seven." this man had a correct childhood
they also did the "rock and roll all night and part of every day" joke in "The Muppets Mayhem"
My introduction to gwar was live from Antarctica... My sister introduced me to metal in general
It's funny because I've seen gwar multiple times and she has never seen gwar
Hahahaha Gwar. First time I saw them was 1998 in State College, PA. I think it was them and Misfits. It was a f'n blast, only amplified from whatever drugs I was on that evening lol. Now I'm in my 40's, living in Virginia and occasionally grabbing beers at the Gwar Bar in Richmond 🤘
0:12 almost had a minecraft youtuber moment nice save
@TankTheTech if you haven't already, you should check out the GWARbar in Richmond, Virginia. It's pretty dope and their food is really good too.
1st saw gwar in the 90s. Been a fan ever since. If you like metal there is nothing like the absurdity of Gwar. Their shows are the best. My daughter's first concert was Gwar.i took her. She has loved the music ever since
Learned about Power man 5000 from Tony Hawks 2
Dude. Bring me all the Gen Z Reacts vids from your perspective. You react to them the exact way I do. 😂
And yes, please, a "Gen Z Reacts to Deathcore" would be excellent!
Gonna spend hours looking for my Rob Zombie CD now!!!😂
I have an autographed copy of Rob Zombie's The Sinister Urge. The actual CD itself is signed. I got it at Ozzfest the year Drowning Pool had to drop out.
I was not expecting to hear Tank make a Role Models reference, or name drop Mindless Self Indulgence
Saw GWAR in like 06. People coming out of the pit were blue. Sounds of the Underground was great.
Now that you mentioned Mindless Self Indulgence, kinda surprised too. Shut me up would of been a great vid to use. Combichrist would of been a fun choice, maybe get your body beat.
