As previously reported, RockMusicStar.com has issued an interview with Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie), conducted by John Jeffrey. The following is an excerpt:
Q: I didn't begin to truly appreciate Gwar until 2006, when I heard the Beyond Hell CD. I always admired 'the show', but it wasn't until I heard Beyond Hell, that I really connected with the music.
A: "Yes, you are a part of a growing number of people, of the always expanding cult of Gwar. We've got our loyal fans, that go back many years now, but let's face it, they're old! They're like your dad. They don't move around as well. Some of them have taken a lot of injuries. Some of them have survived 4, 5, 30, 40 Gwar shows. You can't live through that much trauma and be right in the head. Then again, you can't be right in the head to be a Gwar fan to begin with."
Q: That's why we are called the 'Bohabs.'
A: "Yes, that's the title that we have thus bestowed upon our loyal fans - the Bohabs."
Q: Since really following Gwar hard core since Beyond Hell, you've released Lust In Space in 2009, and Bloody Pit of Horror last year. In my opinion, the band is really on top of it's game, musically. How does it feel to be peaking at this point in your career?
A: "I'm very glad that you have grasped this, and that you understand this, because it's very fucking true! This band has never been better, and I'll tell you exactly why. It took a long time to thaw out. These guys were frozen solid for over 80 billion years, OK? You don't just wake up from that, and start up, playing SLAYER. Even though we did have flashes of brilliance the whole way... we were great. I mean, everything we've ever done is better than the greatest thing that anyone else ever could. But, as we finally got the fingers completely thawed out, these guys just started ripping it. Being immortal, indestructible and undefeatable, we learn from our mistakes, and we never fail. So what you have with Gwar, is a band that just gets better and better and better, as we go along."
