GWAR Norfolk reviews
Awesome Gwar show as usual
Gwar is a band that once you see thier show you will never see anything like it ever again...unless its another gwar show. Ive seen them dozens of times over the years. great show lots of fun. Extremely fair pricing on the tickets. I mean 4 bands for 30 bucks.. sweet.
The best backup band was ghoul in my opinion, they were really good and had a good show (ill definatly check them out later). The other two (municple waste and wolves in the throne room) were ok .. not great...but im not familiar with any of the three backup bands other then gwar as Ive been out of the scene a bit. so maybe had I heard thier albums before I would have liked them alot better.
Only thing that was kinda lame was the wilbur theatre putting up "no moshing, no dancing, no slam dancing, no crowd surfing or you will be ejected immediatly" signs everywhere. I understand they have to for legal reasons.. but its a downer.. the crowd really didn't move at all during the opening acts, probably because they were afraid of getting thrown out. once gwar was on, I was front center stage against the barrier so I didnt see what was going on in the pit. but only about two or three people flew over my head the whole show. generally its dozens of people crowd surfing.. but thats a venue issue not a band issue.
in short.. gwar is a show you cannot have a bad time at. just make sure you wrap your wallet and cellphone in a sandwich bag or leave it in the car..and don't wear leather.. cause your most likely coming home soaking wet and covered in red dye.
