Edmonton, Alberta - The Bronx - 1990
| This was the VERY first show I ever shot. I had just got a camera given to me for Christmas a couple months previous to this. I had no idea what I was doing. Again, I got "hired" by the promoter to shoot this show as I did at a later show, Disciples of Power. The promoter paid me with free admission for myself and my lovely girlfriend, plus, all the beer I could drink. I was so fucking hammered by the time GWAR came on stage, I couldn't even HOLD my camera straight!! So I got 2 good shots and then a whole bunch of SHIT. Man, what I'd give to get this show back. Knowing what I know now, I would have some incredible shots of one of the most entertaining bands to ever hit a stage. These guys were even on Jerry Springer for some episode, showing how fucked up they were. The promoter took me down to their dressing room before the show and there was GWAR Woman, doing inverted push-ups against the wall. | I wanted her immediately. I wanted her to bench press ME. I wanted her to do her fire dance using me as a door mat. I was saddened when she looked at me and snarled. Oh well. I don't think we were that compatible anyway. So the show fires up and these guys are insane. Started off with a nun and a Reggae dude protesting GWAR. Then their manager walks out on stage with a shotgun and blows the Reggae guy's head off. Pumps a round or two into the nun. THEN things got really weird. The singer pulls out this giant dick and starts whacking it off til it spews a tonne of white shit all over the first 10 rows of the audience. They cut some guy's head off and spewed blood all over the place. GWAR Woman did her little fire dance, very nice. And then they released us from their subhuman clutches and let us go home soaked in blood, sweat and splooge. Fun for all except whoever had to do the laundry the next day. |
