FINALLY!!! Pictures are up of GWAR ! If you were unfortunate to have missed the show then read on, it will make the pictures seem a little less crazy. Enjoy! So on Sunday night I walk into Ryley's to see GWAR and there is plastic on the floors, the walls, and the ceiling. "Why is there plastic over everything?" I ask my friend Liam. "Apparently GWAR has 150 gallons of fake blood and a canon!" he replied. I knew it was going to be a good night! I was able to get a photo pass for the show but I still had to pay $30 to get in. I was wondering why the show cost so much but by the end I realized why.... It was a freaking Broadway musical! Every other song GWAR played had a new character/monster come out on stage. Members of the band either killed them or battled them with giant swords until the whole crowd was soaked in fake blood. It all started off with John Kerry coming out and having his head cut off after lecturing the crowd and the band. Fake blood spew from his body and then he was dragged off stage, next it was Arnold Schwarzenegger with his giant stinky fingers which were soon chopped off in a sword fight. His limbs shot blood on the crowd as members of the band tore into Arnie's chest and ripped out his organs which shot more blood at the crowd. Paris Hilton was up next. Strapped to a torture table on wheels they ripped and pulled her apart with more blood spraying out at the crowd who were all in amazement of what they were seeing. I could not believe how awesome the show was going so far and wondered how many more "acts" there would be. Michael Jackson graced the stage next and sang some backup "ehhh hooos" to the song Crush Kill. As the song went on Michael's face fell off and showed his hideous skeletal remains. Of course blood as you would expect by now came splattering from his head. The lead singer then called onto stage the most wanted man in the world Osama Bin Laden to battle during the song Bring Back the Bomb. There was a sword fight with a nuclear bomb and of course Osama lost with bloody results. A worthy adversary to follow Osama was George W. Bush who just like Paris Hilton was strapped to a torture table on wheels and was torn apart by the band members. The entrails and several meters of intestines and organs danced around in the arms of the band as blood shot out from Bush's carcass. Probably the least tasteful thing I have ever seen was to follow with Laci Peterson who was murdered by Scott Peterson while pregnant with her son (its been in the news a lot lately). In expected bad taste Laci Peterson was there and had a self abortion on stage with the baby puking green blood all over the crowd. It was sick, it was discussing, it was GWAR!!! Back from the dead came the Reaganator. A half Ronald Reagan, half robot who had a huge battle with the members on stage. He couldn't be stopped until they were able to rip out his hydraulic lines and spray the crowd with green blood again. The lead singer of GWAR with his giant snake like penis then sprayed the crowd with his "filthy urine" while playing the song Sick of You. The band left the stage and the crowd went wild screaming for more GWAR. After being soaked in fake blood, drenched in green puke, and rained on with filthy urine (all fake here of course) the crowd couldn't get enough. The band did an encore with some rock star I guess named Melvin taking stage with them. They didn't seem to like Melvin because his head didn't stay on too long. Melvin made it a point however to make sure that every drop of blood from his severed head went onto the crowd and continued to spray until Bonesnapper came out. Bonesnapper was a giant monster with an apatite. He had the longest and biggest battle finally ending with his face and then his head being torn off and green blood shooting in every direction. Needless to say it was hard to keep my cameras from getting soaked but I did my best. The final battle with Bonesnapper happened during the last song Lost Gods which made the crowd go crazy. Like I said GWAR didn't just play an amazing show, they put on a terrific performance and no one left the place without red or green blood on them, and if they almost did, after the last song one band member brought out "The Biledriver" a giant blood canon to shoot the crowd with. No one was spared! I have seen hundreds of shows in my days and I can definitely say that GWAR was the craziest and most worth my money. Now I just need to get this green blood off of my camera!

I hope you all took time today to remember what over 100,000 Canadians died for. There were over 7000 people at Credit Union Center which made it the largest Remembrance Day ceremony in Canada believe it or not. In so many ways I feel very disconnected from the World Wars and yet I know some day I will have to explain the wars that are going on right now in Iraq, Africa, and the middle East to my children. I don't know how I will be able to explain to them what the wars were about, but I know that I will teach them why they were all wrong to have happened. Remembrance Day doesn't only make me reflect on what has happened in the past but also question why wars are happening today despite all that has happened, and all that the veterans have told us. Lest we forget. November 10th, 2004
