I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going?

  Wear an all white shirt or buy a new white gear shirt and wear it.

  People wi let you go in front of them because they’ll know/assume it’s your first GWAR experience.

    Maybe I will just buy a shirt. If it does stain, I might put it on display.

    “In this room, I keep my white t-shirt soaked in blood, cum, and feces. And over here is the veranda”.

    I wonder if there ever were fake fans coming with tees covered in real piss\shit\cum\blood.

  When I went I didn’t bring any spare clothes. Took the train home. I don’t think the color sticks much.

  It was a long time ago but I don’t remember any weird looks from anyone or feeling any different from leaving other concerts.

  Gwar was a ton of fun and I hope you have a blast!

    I am not much of a concert person, but I am really hoping I do get to go to this one. I have been aware of them forever; never heard their music before today. It’s… the most mediocre metal I have ever heard. But to be fair, I am obviously going for the performance and pageantry more than anything else.

      I’ve never been into them either. Their show is well worth it though.

      It was over a decade ago and before Oderus died. I’m sure it’ll still be fun though

  Well, a big part of the show is getting people in the front all wet and sticky. Making a real mess!!!

  This is done by hitting watermellons with giant mallots, and spraying everyone with the chaos!

  …wait. I’m thinking of Gallagher. They should tour together.

  The fluids are all water based so they don’t ruin their costumes, along with the venues. When I saw them a few years ago there were some people with white shirts on that just looked red by the end of the show. Looking in the mirror I could tell my face was redder than usual, but I’m also pretty pale. Being wet was more annoying than being red, but I also had to drive myself.

    So it washes out or should I not wear a light coloured shirt I am in love with?

    • siv9939@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      As far as I know it should wash out, but I typically wear dark colors, so I can’t speak from experience. Thinking about it more, you might want to save your favorite shirt for a different day.

  No one really cares about their music, but Scumdogs of the Universe is there best album. It’s all about the stage show.

    I like the music, but I have terrible taste. Beyond Hell is still in frequent rotation for me.

  Definitely dress down lol. And make sure you have fun in all that noise and muck!

  • JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I am looking forward to the muck. None of this is even confirmed but I am excited and comforted by the thoughts of being soaked in blood and semen and feces.

  One time at a GWAR show I got sprayed right in the face with a stream of fake blood and it dyed my contacts red for a day or so.

• tehmics@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Eh, I went to dinner after a show at a local spot and they were completely unphased. The fake blood wasn’t sticky, it just stains everything. Bring an extra shirt if you’re really concerned, and/or a towel for your car seat if you drive.

  My weekend is not officially over but it functionally is. I have been talking with interesting people for a bit.
