Finally got around to watching This is Gwar. I'm kinda bummed they didn't go a little deeper into my favorite string of their work, the Smoot years, beyond a few minutes of "Smoot helped right the ship and we played awesome metal and then he died," but the stuff about the band's formation as a quick joke by Death Piggy, and the ensuing overt jealousy and (often justified) anger by Hunter Jackson, was something else.
Yeah. Of course I choked up when they showed footage from the viking funeral for the Oderus costume at Brockie's memorial service. I was there. A sea of ugly, angry, and weird punks, metalheads, and all other kinds of alt nutjobs crying out at once over the loss of their court jester. It hurt, and it felt good that it hurt.
Hail Oderus. Hail Flattus.
