GWAR Hartford reviews
GWAR x10
This was my 10th time seeing GWAR, and you can bet I will be back again and again to get slain by the overlords of humanity! The greatest live band on Earth (and anywhere else in the universe) continues with using their performances not only to shock and offend (Michael Jackson and Obama were both annihilated, along with a slew of babies) but to create a story-line/concept. Where their last album cycle had characters based on their journey to hell and a political wrestling event, this time the performance follows GWAR through combat with Cardinal Sin and his cronies. Cardinal Sin is awesome as a finale to the set, a 15 foot tall machine that drenches the audience.
Not only is the theatrics top notch, but they also played some of my favorite songs, "Bring Back the Bomb", "Tormentor" and of course, "Sick of You".
I know GWAR is not for everyone, there were ton's of people getting lifted out by security in the first 3 songs and I felt like I was in a trash compactor the whole time, but if you have any inkling at all to see GWAR, DO IT!!!!
