I've loved GWAR since I found out about them and bought Scumdogs of the Universe in the early 90s.
There concerts were always next level. Early in the 90s how the band functioned was a little more mysterious, you had to dig into fan forums and little personal web sites to learn anything about the actual band, unless you were lucky enough to catch Dave out of costume front of stage, or Hunter hanging out at the Merch table.
Really learning how this artists cooperative functioned and dysfunctioned, makes me appreciate GWAR even more.
A couple things that I would have liked to see a little more insight into were, when did the friction between Hunter and Dave really start?
What was Dave's mental state near his accidental overdose? Zach Blair stated that there were signs of decline in Dave's work ethic, over a decade before. I can only imagine the collision of being a high energy person like Dave Brockie, and living on the road for decades must wear on even the strongest people.
Absolutely a must watch if you care anything about musical and artistic counter culture.
