| YOU ARE BACK AGAIN TO DO BATTLE WITH GWAR & GET YOUR BUTT WHIPPED AGAIN. DO YOU THINK YOU WILL EVER REALIZE THAT YOU CAN'T STOP GWAR? Ohhh! I am deeply hurt that you would even consider asking that question. My song was on the last album about "The Private Pain Of Techno Destructo", fully chronicling how much I have suffered over the years at the hands of my arch enemies GWAR. You human beings really need to listen to this song. Understanding & deeply appreciating this song of peace. It is a song about how violence begets more violence & he who lives by the sword will die by the sword. So everybody just chill out! In the words of my good buddy Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" The other part of the song is no matter how much they fuck with me or no matter how many times they bust my brain open & putting my grey matter on the pavement, no matter how many times GWAR tries to chop my steel penis, I will still come back & fight GWAR. Every time they put me down I just grow back together. I will continue to fight GWAR. I will never give up until they go down. From where I see it, they have taken more abuse than I. HERE'S A QUESTION I HEAR ALL THE TIME, WHAT THE HELL DOES GWAR MEAN? GWAR is actually the war cry for the Scumdogs Of The Universe. The word GWAR is the closest thing in human translation of the war cry which is Arghrhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! (something like that) So, it's like a twenty five letter word. Once they became a Rock & Roll band Sleazy P. had them put GWAR in 4 letters so they could fit their name on T-shirts & stuff!!! |
| This half of the interview is done with Hunter Jackson, Techno Destructo's alter ego. Hunter is also a member of GWAR, as you found out above. He is also one of the main artists who helped create GWAR & it's props, plus he helps run SLAVE PIT INC. where everything for GWAR is made! Read on & enjoy!!! |
| SINCE GWAR & X-COPS ARE CONNECTED THROUGH SLAVE PIT INC. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY INFORMATION ON THEM & WILL WE EVER GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN? I know that the musicians are really into doing the X-COPS. The X-COPS are really cool cause it allows them to do music with out the eighty pounds of costumes, while getting hosed down in |
| middle of a football game. The X-COPS allows them the freedom to be musicians & get out there & play their hearst out without being encumbered by all the equipment. At the same time on the artist end we started doing the GWAR comic book. This comic book is half GWAR and half other crazy stuff! Allowing the artist to create characters & stories outside of the GWAR realm. Check that out too! IN YOUR MUSIC I HEAR A LOT OF DIFFERENT MUSICAL INFLUENCES, ESPECIALLY ON THE NEW ALBUM. DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE REASON YOU STAND APART FROM ALL THE CLONED BANDS OUT THERE? I MEAN BESIDES THE FACT THAT YOUR NOT FROM THIS PLANET? The cool thing about GWAR is that we are not limited to one style of music. We are free to experiment through the context of the show, through the characters in our show with special songs, like the country music song. We had Skulhead Face sing a broadway type song, so that was kind of funny. At the same times throwing Rock & Roll songs in there too. Like this time, GWAR woman did the torch song from our new album, which is pretty popular. It's been really cool the way that's been able to go over in our live show. When we 1st planned on that the music was pre-recorded & she sings live. When we 1st started doing that there was a lot of apprehension on how well that would go over in a Heavy Metal slam dancing crowd. When she comes out everyone shuts up & listens. It's really cool, except for a few assholes that start screaming show us your tits. But it is a pretty cool scene. It's great that we can have that variety! I NOTICED IN THE ALBUM THERE IS A NEW GWAR MEMBER MENTIONED (MUSEL) ON KEYBOARDS. WHO IS HE & HOW DID HE GET TO BE A MEMBER OF GWAR? His name is Dave Mussle & he has been with us from the very beginning. His contribution has been ver important. He's the one, the keyboard player, who's not on stage & a lot of what he does is sound effects. Like during the show when you hear the whacks & the umphs! When people get hit it adds a lot of demension to the show & makes it work a lot better than if he wasn't there. Plus more over the years he's been musically involved like in X-COPS he was able to do a lot more. On the new album he contributed so much that we really wanted to say that he is a very important musician. We tried to make a costume for him to be a part of the show, but after so many years of being behind the scenes he just wasn't comfortable. He has to see all the action on stage to do the sound effects. He is a very important part of the band from the very beginning!!! |
