MISFITS CONCERT
The Misfits came out in vintage 'fits attire, dark and evil are key here. They started out with a couple of new songs, then they broke out the classics. That's when things got a little crazy. I shoved my way down into the pit and worked my way down front. By the time I reached the rail down front, "Last Caress" was playing. The pit went crazy over that one. All in all, the Misfits put on on hell of a show, definitely worth the price of the ticket by themselves.
GWAR started things off with a bang, or a blow rather. They set up a large white wall that was constructed of thick white paper with a real door in the middle. The door had "White House Service Entrance" written on it. A large Monica Lewinsky dressed in a cow costume came out and began talking to the door to El Presidente. After a bit, Bill himself came out with a schlong about three feet long dangling between his legs. Monica started working it until he started shooting the presidential juice out into the crowd. During this, the band starts playing and bust through the walls to put a halt to the fun. They chop Monica's nipples off so she starts spraying blood out at us. I catch a blast in the face, yeah, now that's entertainment. They brought out a Marilyn Manson look-a-like and skinned him alive, the crowd dug that one. The high light was when Gorgor, the huge dinosaur, came out and started chomping on people. Doyle from the Misfits stormed the stage and hit Gorgor with a huge warhammer.
By the time I left, my shirt, hair, face, and arms were bright red and blue from the carnage. It took me three days to wash off all of the fake blood. My shirt though has yet to see a washing machine. It is amazing to think that these guys put this show on night after night. It is also amazing to see how much Faygo pop they spray into the audience at a show. This was by far the best show I have been to, and the $13 ticket price was a bargain. If you get the chance to see either the 'fits or GWAR go, you won't be sorry.
