The Electric Factory

I recently saw Gwar this past Thursday at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. If we\u2019re being completely honest, I have only heard of Gwar by name, and seen photos of them online. I have also heard the \u201chorror stories\u201d about what they do on stage and what they do to the crowd. I thought I was prepared but nothing could really prepare a Gwar-show-virgin. Long story, short, I was able to experience Gwar through my camera.<\/p>\n

\"Gwar\"<\/a>

Gwar<\/p><\/div>The Electric Factory was soon filled to the brim as the night wore on and die-hard Gwar fans pushed their way towards the front of the stage so they could stain, or continue to stain, their white t-shirts as a free souvenir. The mixed excited chatter melted into roars of excitement as soon as the venue was enveloped in darkness. Black Sabbath\u2019s \u201cWar Pigs\u201d took over the speakers and the fans including photographers sang along. Suddenly, the decorative LED screens upon the stage lit up, showing a very hypnotic display and surely enough the members appeared in their intriguing yet terrifying get-ups. Before I knew it, blood began spraying the fans in the front as they cheered with absolute pleasure, enjoying every drop of the blood. Of course, that wasn\u2019t the only substance that was unleashed into the crowd, there was \u201cvomit,\u201d \u201cpiss\u201d and God knows what else. I was thoroughly enjoying the fact that I narrowly dodged the unknown liquid substance and the theatrics displaying on the stage. The set consisted of: a dubstep mix of \u201cSick of You;\u201d \u201cCrush, Kill, Destroy;\u201d \u201cMadness at the Core of Time;\u201d \u201cBlack and Huge;\u201d \u201cSaddam a Go-Go;\u201d \u201cVlad the Impaler;\u201d \u201cJack the World; \u201cI\u2019m in Love (With a Dead Dog);\u201d \u201cI, Bonesnapper;\u201d \u201cBabyraper;\u201d \u201cMeat Sandwich;\u201d \u201cCaptain Cr\u00fcnch;\u201d \u201cLet Us Slay;\u201d \u201cYou Can\u2019t Kill Terror;\u201d \u201cA Gathering of Ghouls\/Storm Is Coming\/Hail, Genocide!\u201d \u201cBloodbath;\u201d \u201cA Short History of the End of the World;\u201d \u201cMetal Metal World;\u201d with the encore of \u201cThe Salaminizer\u201d and \u201cSick of You.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, it was certainly a sight to see and something I will never, ever forget. Be sure to check out Gwar\u2019s future tour dates, they really put on a show you will not want to miss out on!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
