It's just great coverage for these guys.

Kind of like how Kimmel's ratings have probably shot up.

I watched them behead Tony Abbott and the Queen when they were in Australia in 2014. The outcry was so bad that Oderus Urungus had to return to his home planet immediately after.

I feel like I must be missing some sort or irony or joke in that post. GWAR completed their Oz tour lopping off the onion munchers head at each stop. While the morons at News Ltd carried on it didn't seem to make any difference that I'm aware of ?

And this later article by SMH doesn't mention them being chased out of Oz ?

Dave Brockie (or Oderus Urungus) died (or returned to his home planet) only weeks after the end of the Soundwave tour. I made up the part about the outcry.

I appreciated the SMH article; I'll have to look for their documentary

But I was able to find this interview with Joan Rivers that was mentioned:

Tissue paper thin skin shows how blue the blood is. These are the intellectual Hapsburgs.

Don't care about your feelings.

That's what republicans usually say so, tough shit.

They've been beheading notable people since they've been touring. I recall them beheading the pope the first show I saw in the 90s. The pope didn't care because he wasn't a thin-orange-skinned petty tyrant.

Republicans: "We don't care about your feelings...unless it's OURS!"
