Last Updated Aug 3 2012

New update 2012: Hey, I compiled this over a decade ago, and thanks to YouTube finally releaxing their limit on video lengths, now I can post full shows. I'm currently in the process of uploading everything I have on dusty old VHS tapes to my YouTube channel. Check out the full shows, and if you have shows to share, please upload them as well! Now, back to the old shit.

Hell-o fellow Cyberslaves, this is my attempt to compile a discograpy of all known GWAR audio and video bootlegs and rarities. This list surely isn't all-inclusive, but I intend on adding anything that I hear of. If you know of any boots that aren't on this list, please e-mail me and let me know.

Does GWAR approve of bootlegs? GWAR is a group of 15 or so musician and artists, and when you get a group that big it's unlikely that everyone will agree on anything. Hunter Jackson (Techno Destructo), who does a lot of the editing and video production for the band has said that he's against bootlegging, but Chuck Varga (Sexecutioner) has been said to have told Rev. Ivan Stang (of the Church Of The Subgenious, who toured briefly with GWAR in 1995) that he wanted Stang to get the video of the Halloween '95 show out to as many people on the web as possible. What should this mean to you? Well, first of all, it's one thing to trade bootleg tapes of live perfomances with other fans, but if you're trading (or even worse- selling) copies of GWAR's officially released videos then you're literally taking food out of the mouths of our starving Scumdog overlords. The band members sacrifice personal monentary security to put everything they make back into the band to bring us a bigger and better show every year. They deserve our support by buying their CD's and officially released videos.

Also of note, many of the locations could possibly be wrong on some of the earlier shows. Pretending to be stupid, Oderus would often say things like "It's great to be back in New Jersey" when they were in fact playing in New York. Funny stuff, but it makes it difficult to correctly list some of the shows. Special thanks goes to Scumdog Bobby Conover from whom I swiped many of the entries off of his bootlist and JRoche1059@aol.com.

Location:WUST Radio Hall, Washinton D.C. (a.k.a. Baltimore, Maryland)

Date: Early 1988

Time: 30m Time For Death Black & Huge War Toy World O' Filth Americanized Ham On The Bone Notes: This is the full show. A set list can be seen hanging on the side of the stage listing several other songs, but towards the end a fight breaks out in the audience and the set is cut short. The show opens with Sleazy introducing the great None perfoming the works of Anton Reemcomb in front of a paper backdrop that is painted up to look like an art gallery. None (Scott Krahl) comes out along with his partner (Mike Bonner) and does a wierd dance to the tune of some carnival music before Bonner breaks an easel over his head. Sleazy comes back out with the head of Anton Reemcob which explodes as GWAR rips down the backdrop and tears into Time For Death. The costumes in this show are still fairly crude, with Oderus having some shit on his face but not the full face mask that will make it's appearance in the months following this show, nor does he have the German war helmets on his shoulders yet. Also worth noting is that they perform a thrash version of Black & Huge. The exact date on this show is unknown, although it is said to be from 1988. Judging from the state of the costumes, it is at least a couple of months earlier than the 4/11/88 Trenton NJ show, leaving me to guess that it is probably Jan or Feb 88, or possibly even late 1987. Mike Bishop is there as Beefcake, and Lisa Harrelson, the old GWAR Woman is also seen. Currently the earliest known GWAR bootleg in circulation. The sound on this show is direct from the soundboard, which means that it's likely that this show was filmed by the band. Also, in the beginning, Sleazy (hamming it up) says "it's great to be back in Baltimore, because Baltimore knows how to rock, give yourself a hand Baltimore" but in fact this show was filmed in Washington D.C. At the end Oderus says (sincerely) "We'll see you again real soon D.C."

Location: City Gardens, Trenton, New Jersey

Date: 4/11/88

Time: 50m Bone Meal * ("GWAR Woman" and Ollie North are introduced) Ollie North * (Slymenstra wrestles Ollie north) Time for Death Black and Huge War Toy Ham on the Bone * (Original "slow" version) Slutman City I'm In Love (With a Dead Dog) * (GWAR wrestles Redneck and Bad Bitch) The Years Without Light Americanized World o' Filth Vlad the Impaler Techno's Song * (Techno Desturcto Express fight GWAR) U Aint Shit * (GWAR defeat Techno and Bozo) GWAR Theme Cool Place to Park Rock N Roll Party Town (TD Express, Sexy, GWAR Woman, come out for a final dance)

(approx. 15 minutes of backstage footage follows) Notes: After Cool Place To Park, there is a couple of minutes of the band backstage talking to each other and the cameraman, meaning that this video was filmed for the band. It's also mentioned that there were other people in the audience filming that weren't with the cameraman, so there are more than one version of this video out there. There has been some debate over who the GWAR Woman is in this video. It doesn't appear to the brown haired Lisa Harrelson, who was the original GWAR Woman, and neither does it appear to be Danyell Stampe, who has played Slymenstra since at least 1989. According to BalSac, it probably is Collete, who briefly played the role in the interim between the other two. Oderus's now has his full face mask, but it is still crude and pig-like. Sexecutioner's mask is also an earlier version. Ham On The Bone is a slower version than what will later appear on America Must Be Destroyed. Years Without Light is also a little different, but the drummer fucks up in the middle of it and aborts the song. I recently tracked down a better copy of this show than I previously had, and it includes one more song (Rock N Roll Party Town) as well as nearly 15 minutes of backstage footage, where you can see most of the band members running around out of costume, talking about the show.

This is another wrestling tour show, similar to the City Gardens and Blondie's shows above.

The sound on this one is real weak, but it was recorded from the soundboard, so this show was probably filmed by the band.

Date: 9/21/88

Time: 40m

Note: For those of you not familiar with Rigor Mortis, this was the band that had Casey Orr (Beefcake/Tubb Tucker) before he joined GWAR in '94. I have seen this show listed in a catalog, but have no further information at this time.

Location: The Pyramid Club, New York City

Express gets asses kicked) Cool Place To Park GWAR Theme War Toy Jacuqes Cousteau Notes: Probably the best of all of the pre-Scumdogs shows I've seen. Video is shot nice and close, with lots of good close ups. Slymenstra is wearing some kind of African skull headdress with huge blonde hair that puffs out to her shoulders, and has a little tail that sticks out of the back of her costume. The set includes most of the songs off of Hell-o! and Scumdogs, and the band comes back for three more encores after Cool Place To Park. The only problem with this show is that the filmer paused the tape between many of the songs, missing much of the drunken banter of Oderus, and parts of the beginnings of several songs. Oderus also sings a little lullaby for the GWAR baby:

Away in the gutter

No crib for a bed

The little GWAR baby

Asleep 'cause it's dead more vidcaps

Location: Wally's, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Date: 3/28/89

Time: 30m or so, it gets prematurely cut off

Black and Huge The Years Without Light Death Pod Americanized Sexicutioner * (Stubbles is disemboweled) Pure as the Arctic Snow World o Filth * (Melvin Fleebish decapitation) King Queen Horror of Yig Slutman City

Notes: This is a very interesting show. Oderus is wearing a helmet his head for the first couple songs. Almost all of the songs are pre-Scumdogs versions, with noicable differences (i.e., the chant of "Death paaaad!", etc). It is very fun to watch. Small stage, with old costumes, and a pretty enthused crowd.

A full lenghth version of this video may exist. I have an old boot video catalog that has this show listed as being 60m in length, so it's possible that the version that is being traded between the GWAR online fans may be a shortened version of the full show. Or the guy's catalog could have the wrong length.

Notes: This show features bits of each song throughout the show, and has all killings and fight scenes on tape. Whole songs were not filmed because the battery on the camera was low. Very interesting, Flattus ends up taking his costume off. Has some footage from behind the stage. Fun to watch. Also worth noting is that Oderus says something about "So we finally made it to Metalfest. Hi Jack!" (as in Jack Koshak, Metalfest's organizer) but in fact this is not actually at Metalfest, just at the Rave in Milwaukee where Metalfest takes place. The band actually did play Metalfest about nine months later.

Title: Pubes In Phallusland

Date: 1985

Location: PB Kelly's, Richmond, VA

Time: 25m This is one of the earliest GWAR videos in existence, from PB Kelly's in Richmond, VA. According to the titles, it was shot by Michael D. Moore and Hunter Jackson at GWAR's second show with their own instruments. I'm not sure whether this means that it was their second show ever, and they were playing their own insturments, or if they played numerous other shows before with someone else's instruments. Either way, this rare piece of GWAR's prehistory has been shat forth like a petrified turd to shed some light on the dawn of the Scumdogs. The video features one of the earliest lineups with Johnny Slutman (Ben Eubanks) on vocals, Oderus (Dave Brockie) on guitar, Jaws of Death (Steve Douglas) also on guitar, BalSac (Chris Bopst) on bass, and Sean Sumner (whose character didn't have a name) on drums. The video begins with some meaningless stage banter by Oderus while the band waits for one of their amps to be replaced. Then there's a pseudo-music video of the live performance of Rock N Roll Party Town edited together from various scenes throughout the show. Unfortunately the sound is distorted and sounds shitty.There are some cool things to see in this old video, though. We get to see Techno Destructo (who has some kind of blaster on his arm rather than his trademark Atomic Power Claw) get the shit beat out of him with a mace. We're also treated to an unnamed character in a helmet who rips the intestines out of a fluffy pink unicorn and dives out into the crowd with entrails dripping from his mouth. We also get a good look at the original brunette GWAR Woman and get to watch her re-create a frozen antarctic blizzard. Actually, she tosses bags of styrofoam packing popcorn out into the crowd. There's also some guy in a Suicidal Tendencies t-shirt with a staff with a monster eyeball or something on it and some kind of mask that might be from the Antarctican Ant. There's also another guy (who looks like he may be a young Chuck Varga) in the crowd who has a hat with a severed baby's head and legs sticking out of it. After that we're treated to the gorier first edit of the Black & Huge video, which features more of the bloody scenes than wound up in the final version (which almost never got aired anyway). It then has some footage of the band running around in the streets and yelling at crowds outside the club that the video was filmed at. Then it's back to the 1987 show for some unedited single camera footage. Unfortunately it's not the entire show. The band starts out and plays Rock N Roll Party Town, but apparently Douglas' amp wasn't working (not that you can tell the difference because it sounds so distorted anyway) so then they waste about ten minutes trying to fix it. Oderus makes a comment about "So Johnny, you just flew in from Cleveland. I hear it's pretty hot there." And Johnny just says "YEAHHH!" And then they repeat it three more times. In fact, Johnny doesn't say anything other than "YEAHHH!" the whole time and Oderus does all of the talking. Finally they get the amp working and the band plays through Rock N Roll Party Town again. But just when you're getting psyched to see these mythical characters that have heretofore only been glimpsed at in their Hell-o! era comics, it's over. After that it cuts back to the final edit of the Black & Huge video that can be seen in the TVD and Next Mutation videos. Overall, this video is a rare gem that could only have been cooler if the full show had been included .

Title: Shimmy Disc Video Compilation

Date: 1988

Time: 15m (GWAR stuff only) GWAR Theme Misc interview clips Time For Death This is probably the earliest officially released GWAR video product. It's part of a video compilation of Shimmy Disc artists such as Bongwater, King Missile, and lots of others. It opens with a video for GWAR Theme. It is a different recording from the Hell-o! version, and has Oderus in the costume with the top of his head and hair, but no face mask. Also seen are original GWAR Woman Lisa Harrelson (a brunette), and some kind of skinned dog prop. You can also see the Don Drakulich Techno Destructo. After that are some even older clips. There is some 8mm footage of an earlier lineup (no Joey Slutman, but with an early Beefcake (definetly not Bishop)). They are walking over a hill in the snow waving their weapons. The costumes are mostly the same as in GWAR Must Be Destroyed, mostly crude fur and bones outfits with helmets or headgear or some kind, except for Beefcake and Balsac who pretty much had their style even back then. From there it goes into a news clip from a Richmond station (where the anchor mistakenly calls the band "gore") where the band are running around in the winter on the streets yelling and screaming. From that they go to a TV studio and throw a newsman threw the desk then beat him up. Dave can be clearly seen yelling into the camera. He then holds up a bloody head and smears it into the weather map, and Beefcake breaks through the wall. Following that is more 8mm footage of the band eating various body parts for dinner and Dave drooling all over himself. In the background can be seen a big neon sign that says "SIN" (as can be seen in one of the comics in Mind Control Monthly #2). From there it goes to the second video, for an alternate recording of Time For Death. This video features some really odd variations in costumes and props, and is filmed outdoors in front of a large building with the GWAR logo on it. The guitar player is Stephen Sphincter, dressed in a costume similar to what Beefcake would later wear (but not as fat) and the Flattus character has a crude version of the stegasaurus spikes on his back like would be seen in later costumes, plus giant horns sticking out the side of his head, and Sleazy's hair! We also get to see the crude early Gor Gor that is also in the Return Of Techno Destructo video, plus an even earlier version of Cardinal Syn than the one seen in RAWGWAR. It looks like he has a giant engine block for most of his body, and he has giant saw blades for his hands, like Grambo. Also seen is the jet engine that Dave said was dropped on Uncle Knobby, plus there is some unnamed character with a big cream colored head and dark glasses with a pack of TNT strapped to him (which BalSac said may have been Sluggo P. Martini) more vidcaps

Title: RAWGWAR

Date: 1989

Time: 110m

Black & Huge World O Filth (partial) Slutman City Bone Meal/Ollie North Dead Dog Americanized Years Without Light As Pure As The Arctic Snow Techno Song Ham On The Bone World O Filth Captain Crunch Bone Meal/Ollie North Bone Meal/Ollie North Death Pod Dead Dog Time For Death Horror Of Yg Slaughterama (sung over Techno Song) Sexecutioner Techno Song U Ain't Shit Vlad The Impaler Cardinal Syn Theme U Aint' Shit GWAR Theme Captain Crunch Cool Place To Park

Unfortunately most of the quality is poor. Most of the club scenes are poorly lit and like Next Mutation, it's obvious that the band assembled this on a couple of VCRs and it shows more generational loss than your average bootleg, making the picture blurry in some clips. The audio on most tracks is pretty poor, too.

The video runs 110 minutes, and despite the poor quality, it is still facsinating because it shows some enemies and props that were hardly ever used anywhere else, and it also features a couple of musical oddities: an early version of Years Without Light, an early version of Slaughterama sung over the Techno Song music, and the otherwise unreleased Cardinal Syn Theme which is completely different from Surf Of Syn.

The video opens with the Slave Pit logo and address, then we see the band entering a club from the street. Sleazy introduces what appears to be a poetry reading in an art gallery with famous works of art on its paper walls. Sleazy announces that there will be a short play from the works of Anton Reemcob, and Scott Krahl and Mike Bonner come out in their slave outfits. Krahl dances around with a mangled skeleton while Bonner plays a harp. Sleazy brings out the bust of Anton Reemcob and blows it apart with his shotgun and GWAR tear down the paper walls and start into Black & Huge. After, Sleazy comes out and says that they have sponsored a contest and the winner is... Melvin Fleebish! Of course Sexecutioner shows him what he's won by chopping off his head as they go into World O Filth, but it abruptly cuts off as he starts to spray the crowd with his jugular juices.

Next Sexy brings out the dead Goat and Oderus talks about raping it but says that he's done that too many times and wants something new, so then they bring out "the leader of the local fan club, Stubble" (who is the fat body that can be seen dismembered during "Sexecutioner" in Live From Antarctica). Stubble comes swinging across the stage from a rope, and is in noticably better condition than in LFA. As the band goes into Slutman City, Stubble is dismembered, disembowled, beheaded, and ripped to pieces in typical GWAR fashion.

Up next, the Redneck from Hell makes his first appearance firing his shotgun to the tune of Bone Meal/Ollie North and of course has his brain and guts pulled out, then his head ripped off. Following this is the familiar Dead Dog song and skit featuring the Bad Biker Bitch where Sexy brings Oderus Pookie for his sexual delight, but is interrupted by the Bitch. After attacking the pair with her dildo, her tits are chopped off, and Oderus butt bangs her and spews all over the crowd.

The next scene was something I hadn't seen before. Oderus complains to Sleazy that he doesn't want to be a rock star anymore, so Sleazy tells him to watch TV and do some drugs. They had a giant television (actually it was more of a giant box with a screen shaped hole cut in it) with a guy inside waving puppets around while the band played Americanized and blew intoxicating fumes from the Crackzooka and shot each other up with the giant hypodermic needle. Bonner also sprayed the crowd with his giant weenie.

An older clip of Years Without Light follows, with Oderus in the old costume w/o the face mask. The song is a little different in structure than the Scumdogs version and starts the thrash part sooner, but most of the lyrics are the same. After that Sleazy comes out again along with rock critic Anton Reemcob. Sleazy asks him what he's going to write for his review of the new album, and Anton makes a farting sound. Sleazy gets mad and says "hey art fag, suck on this!" and blows Reemcob's head off with his shotgun.

Another older clip of Pure As The Arctic Snow follows, with Oderus throwing packing popcorn in the air to simulate snow, leading into Techno Song with the tag team parterns The Techno Destructo Express.

Next is the old slow version of Ham On The Bone, and then World O Filth with the Toilet Summoning. Bonner has a giant zit on his shoulder, and Oderus squeezes some pus out of it into the toilet, then Bonner uses his massive member to spray some more gunk in it. They also throw in body parts and anything else they can cum up with. What surprised me is that this time, they actually summon something! As they go into Captain Crunch, a shambling shapeless mound with a giant eye stalk comes out on the stage. According to BalSac, this is one of the Fudgies, a creature from the plane of Fudge.

But it quickly cuts away and goes into a version of Bone Meal/Ollie North where they do the Toilet Summoning again, and this time a different beastie comes out, too. It's a fat green blobby thing with tentacles for arms, and it has bug eyes, a beard, and horns. And the slaves keep shoving toilet paper into it's butthole. BalSac said that this one is Log Suckoff.Then the Fudgie comes out and the two fight.

From there it goes to one of the older shows again, and Oderus and Sexy proudly display the Frank Sinatra Belts of World Domination.

Then it's back to the newer material, and something that was seen briefly in the MTV Week In Rock report on the 1989 New Music Seminar. (I think it's a different show, but it's hard to tell). As the play Bone Meal/Ollie North again, Techno is brought out chained to a cross, and the Scumdogs put a crown of thorns on his head, beat and torment him, then rip his arms off and bathe in his spewing fluids. I'm surprised that they didn't do this one more often, because it makes for a more spectacular ending for the Techno Destructo attack.

Following that, there is an early version of Death Pod performed, with the lovely Slymenstra doing one of her death dances, then it cuts back to the old wrestling show again as Oderus and Sexy pair off against the Bad Biker Bitch and the Redneck From Hell, to the tune of Dead Dog. Guess what happens next? You got it, she gets her tits chopped off and he gets his brain ripped out again. You think these guys would learn after a while. Following this is a rousing rendition of Time For Death.

While GWAR are in a drug induced stupor, the Techno Destructo Express steals the Frank Sinatra Belts away from them and chalenges them to a match at the end of the show. But before that, it goes to a newer show again and they perform Horror Of Yg. Slymenstra does her dance, but she must not have been practicing with the fire at this time.

One of the curious bits is next, as Sleazy comes out to sing a proto-version of Slaughterama. The act is pretty much the same, but the music played is actually Techno Song. The hapless contestants are Melvin Fleebish, the Redneck, Biker Bitch, and the Hippie, and they finish up the song with Sleazy and Oderus singing the "Slaugherama, Slaugherama, it's a drama" part. After that, Sexecutioner comes out and sings his theme song, then it goes back to the wrestling show again.

The Techno Destructo Express does their ususal bit and beats Oderus and Sexy into submission, but instead of going straight into U Ain't Shit, they gloat for a while, then say that now the audience has to listen to their Techno Pop, and some really lame music plays in the background. Before it goes on too long, Oderus and Sexy break some tables over their heads and go into U Ain't Shit. It's worth noting that Slymenstra (or the old GWAR Woman) don't appear in the oldest clips, they must not have had either at the time.
