    You go to a Gwar show for the spectacle and banter more than the music. I never listen to them on their own, but I never miss them at a festival. Do yourself a favor, catch a show, wear a shirt you don’t give a shit about and get in the pit. Gallons of blood and alien cum

      As an amateur food scientist, I’m curious about the monster/alien cum. I’m thinking it’s marshmallow based or mayonnaise based, but I’m just guessing. I’d probably use mayonnaise based, cheaper for quantity, but it would stink, especially in the heat, and you don’t want that. Then again, the marshmallow based stuff would draw flies, especially in the heat. I’m gonna bet it’s food safe since they’re spraying it on the crowd. Yes, I absolutely would taste it.

      I’m also aware that they feed fans to a beast, which really just takes you backstage.

      Read/heard some things but never got to go to a show. I’ve never heard of them playing near me, but if they did, I’d try to go. For sure.

        Mayonnaise based?!! That’s truly evil!! It’s effectively just kool aid. They’re monster aliens, so cum can be any color of the rainbow. I’m not sure if it’s flavored or just food coloring. You should investigate and report back.

          Yeah, it was early, I didn’t really think… but if it’s alien/monster cum, it can’t just be Kool-Aid, it’s gotta have some viscosity (thickness) to it. Or maybe not, it could just be coloured and flavoured water.

          Getting deeper into food science than I normally get, I’d imagine they’d use some kind of thickener to give it substance, but you really wouldn’t want it to be oil based because it would be a bitch to clean. You’d have to have a change of clothes in your car or you’d mess up your upholstery.
