On the list of things that I enjoy, metal and punk happen to be near the top of the list. When it comes to bands, to me nothing can top the musical onslaught of GWAR. Hilarious and obnoxious lyrics, coupled with a truly memorable live performance that combines violence, pop culture, music, and more violence, have created a truly spectacular experience. If you have yet to see GWAR live, you owe it to yourself to do so.

An important part of GWAR is their mythos. Thinking of a way to explain their unique costumes and look, GWAR created their own origin story. Extraterrestrial beings who ravaged the Universe, looking for planets to destroy, they were the greatest weapon of a being known as the Master. However, they eventually became too powerful, and after defying the Master one time too many, GWAR was exiled to Earth. Now, they make their home in the wastes of Antarctica, venturing forth to play music and slaughter the general populous.

Let us look at that background once again. The greatest weapon of the Master, used as part of a plan to take over planets? Exiled to Earth for their crimes? Why does all this sound familiar?

It certainly seems as though it would be easy to plug GWAR into the realm of Doctor Who. They could be considered former tools of the Master, who were exiled to Earth after they displeased him. The Doctor’s fascination with the planet may just be that he is simply watching over the populous, making sure that GWAR does not leave their Antarctic homes on too many bloody rampages.

GWAR already has their own costumes and props at the ready. These intergalactic warriors would come with swords and axes, prepared to go to battle against the Doctor and his allies. Perhaps they have decided that they truly are tired of Earth and humanity, and are ready to make good on their promise to eradicate this troublesome species from the planet.

Or, perhaps GWAR could enlist the Doctor in a quest to locate their former vocalist, Oderus Urungus. While Dave Brockie, who portrayed Oderus, may have died, their quest to find their fallen comrade lives on, as it was the primary theme of GWAR’s most recent tour. Maybe, with all other options exhausted, they will call upon the Doctor for help.

It will likely never happen, but seeing GWAR make a guest appearance on Doctor Who would truly be one of the more epic moments in television history. Can we make this happen?
