video of GWAR on the Joan Rivers show

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

The lead singer/guitarist and the bassist of GWAR got invited on the
Joan Rivers show a long time ago for a segment on rock music and its
so-called "negative" influence on teens and young children. This is
seriously the funniest video on Youtube. It's from around 1990 when
GWAR apparently started to get some major publicity with their album
"Scumdogs of the Universe." Joan Rivers actually gets the joke too!!
These two guys literally make a fool of any "worried parent" who
actually thought that they were negatively influencing kids.

	I remember seeing that when it aired (I confess - I was unemployed at the time and there was nothing else to watch on tv that day). It was freakin hilarious! Dave Brockie and Mike Bishop, in full character as Oderus and Beefcake, sitting there on this pristine midday talkshow set, and they had Joan and the audience eating out of the palm of their hand. My favorite line: Joan: "How far do you plan to go --" Oderus: "Cleveland!" Oh man. I was rolling on the floor.

	Despite me hating GWAR with every fiber of my being, this was a funny video.
