Craziest Costumed Acts: No. 1

GWAR

Self-described "giant mutant metal monsters from outer space," these shock rockers paint a frighteningly accurate picture of their elaborate foam-rubber costumes and utterly depraved philosophy. Beavis and Butt-head and the band's tribe of loyal servants (called "Slaves" or "Gwarriors") know albums like 'Scumdogs of the Universe' and 'Diarrhea of a Madman' by heart, but it's the band's dress-up shtick that has totally eclipsed the music itself. We hardly think they care.

Alice Cooper is the only talented band out of all these. The rest of them are show and no talent

Stryper should have been somewhere in the top ten, and Alice most certainly should have been moved from number 6 to number 1!

Love going to a Gwar show. Always leave covered in blood and sperm. Nothing else can come close to a Gwar show. They're not afraid to kill anyone, from the pope to Gerry Garcia.
