It’s been an interesting year for GWAR, who continued their tradition of “killing” U.S. President’s on-stage in their usual over-the-top manner. An individual wearing a Joe Biden mask was “beheaded” by a fighter dressed like a Taliban member, staying true to the band’s shock value. The band’s Blothar the Berserker also appeared on Fox News earlier this year.
Back in September Foo Fighter’s frontman Dave Grohl admitted that he thought of joining GWAR, which was corroborated by the band’s Mike Bishop. “Our guitar player Dewey [a.k.a. Flattus Maximus] was booking shows in Richmond at the time, and we had all seen Dave play with his bands Dain Bramage and later on in Scream. He was already one of the greatest, hardest-hitting drummers I had ever seen. He still is. Dewey called and started the conversation about him joining GWAR,” Bishop explained.
