i don't get it! i mean, i get why guys would love dressing up as centaurs and waving swords around. but i guess i just feel like music is something that i look forward to and makes me feel good, and gwar's music doesn't do that.

^^lmao....I'm first in line for a throat punch. Having never watched any videos of their show, I was mildly interested in seeing what they had to offer. But if that's what they have to offer....no thanks. You guys enjoy and I pray that they don't get a late night.

This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.

Well honey, you're a chick, and it's understandable that broads might not be into that kind of thing. Plus you quote "Downtown Owl" in your signature, so your taste is questionable at best. It's okay.
However, any man out there who doesn't understand why GWAR is f*ckin' awesome can get in line for a throat punch straight from the Capp-master himself. Go back and listen to your weepy little folk singers and noodly talentless jambands, you weasels.
every chick i know loves gwar.
they've played twice where i live. once i was pregnant (way too pregnant to be at a gwar show in a tiny moshy smoky bar) and once i was a bridesmaid for my best friend the following morning so i'm PSYCHED to see them finally.
and yeah, they sort of have to play a late night spot somehwere. no one is following gwar. it's a messy messy show. bring ponchos, kids.

There will be lots of throat-punching indeed. In the interest of efficiency, I suggest you use a spiked glove. You could improve your throat punches by at least 15 more per minute if they just lined up and fell over, bleeding profusely from the neck. Slaves will be waiting to drag their lifeless carcasses into a previously carved skull-shaped pit lined with incendiary devices to be set off during GWAR's finale. If the String Cheese Accident gets added, we're gonna need a bigger pit.

well first of all, before you insult people, you might want to make sure you know what the hell you are talking about. i don't like jam bands.
second of all, i was fishing for an explanation from a fan as to how that music is enjoyable and all you just did was reinforce my preconceived notion that people who truly enjoy angry music like GWAR for any other reason than the spectacle are macho small dicks.

Goes without saying, does anyone go anywhere these days without two or three rolls? I know I don't. (for other reasons in my case, it really does fix anything).
i don't go for the duct tape so much, i usually go for giant rubber bands. can't get out of them and they stay on until i use my gardening shears to get them off. enjoy you rubber band snap marks!!!!!!!!

GWAR will be late night, so lets just skip this foolish idea of them playing during the day...
I am curious as to which of the dj acts will play where though...Disco Biscuits will be the one (other than Jay-Z) that I will be most interested in seeing.

I think GWAR should just hang around all weekend and show up at random shows when bands are about ready to go over schedule, and run the bands off stage (if necessary, mid-song).
chances of them putting Bassnectar and Deadmau5 together in a tent?
I would think they would have to, or have them play on different nights\time slots. The overlap in fan bases would be significant, even though they're quite different.
I was thinking if UM get added they might share a tent with Bisco again...

Late Night sets will be PACKED this year. Especially with the addition of Ween and UM. (They may not both get the LN distinction this year, but it's certainly possible).
im all for creative theatrics and unapologetic irreverence, but that noise they make is simply trash, and no, that's not a subjective judgment, i looked it up.
if they actually did something that approached music along with all the mayhem, curiosity MIGHT make me walk briskly past the tent while they are playing. it's a real shame, but hey, one less conflict right?
Anybody that says that GWAR sucks after watching a shitty youtube video has no clue. Of course metal sounds like crap when its recorded on someone's phone in a mosh pit. GWAR makes good records. Of course they don't sound exactly like the record live: who does? If you want to listen to music put your headphones on. If you want an experience go to a concert. If you don't understand the genre of music, how are you supposed to be able to criticize?

i like plenty of metal, both past and present. i own probably 75% of the "big 4's" studio albums on cd from my early to mid teens. problem is, gwar is a particularly terrible brand of thrash metal, ergo me no likey. never have either. too much spectacle, not enough substance. gwar is like the flips, except w/o the creative musical genius.

I think those are just as good as guesses as any and actually a lot more plausible. I think Jay-Z will be on the What Stage, he really honestly is the biggest name on the lineup but he is 4th b/c DMB and KOL got the 'Roo bump. Much like Rise Against and Lupe Fiasco get the Lolla bump for their Chicago background. Anyways...I do think we'll see a surprise and see either Ween or Disco Biscuits during the day...and I also think LCD Soundsystem or Thievery Corporation will get a sunset slot and not be late night. Which is fine by me but that's my thoughts...

I wasn't really talking to anyone in particular, just saying that people cannot get a good taste for GWAR by checking them out on Youtube. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about them being a terrible brand of thrash metal, as I find their first 4 albums to be great. Then they got kind of silly for a while, came back with a good album and few alright albums. The live GWAR experience isn't about playing perfectly like they're Steely Dan or something. Their lead singer is usually drunk and they've got dinosaurs and decapitated people banging into everyone on stage. But I feel that they do have good studio stuff, it's just that there's a tradeoff when it comes to their live act.

I think it's possible that this year will have Thursday bands scheduled to start at 1:30 AM and onward. There are so many potential late nights that it only seems natural to have shows running until 3 AM Friday morning. I also predict the inclusion of the Which stage into the Thursday mayhem (although this seems less likely. From a logistical standpoint it would be harder to do this than extend the late nights.)
