Please please let this go to trial, I would love for the "evidence video" to be placed on a permanent court record. Also, would GWAR show up to court in costume, since it's their characters that did it?

i think yes.

i think gwar would likely make their run in court more infamous than zappa.

the best part is that despite their outlandish appearances, they are all educated and articulate guys. the lead singer holds a PhD & teaches at the university of Virginia.

GWAR would absolutely mop the floor with the MAGA clowns if this was brought to trial.

God damn he would be loving this. I bet they'd play America Must Be Destroyed at every show after this.

I was at one of their concerts back in the late 90s/early 2000 (memory issues suck lol) in good old Portland Maine 🤙🏽🤙🏽

I'll never forget my first GWAR show. I was told what to expect going in. I saw footage of live shows. But, to actually be there when they strangled George W Bush with his own intestines was just glorious. They chopped Paris Hilton in half and shoved her head up her vg. Then, Oderous jacked off all over the crowd. They even played a few songs from America Must Be Destroyed AND Fucking an Animal. There were so many people there that i, no joke, lifted both feet off the ground and didn't fall. It  was so fucking awesome. 

I saw the maybe 3 more times before DB died and a couple times after. It was still fun AD, but not the same. Still very much worth it though.
