GWAR Interview with Oderus Urungus?
Nicknames: Orderus Aroundus, "Party Pants," and The Irish Kid
at The Shoreline Amphitheater for Sounds of the Underground Tour.




Benji: If you could eat anyone in the music biz, who would it be?
Oderus: You! Because you missed the show!!! Eating them would be like a compliment! I think celebrities should be humiliated and tortured. I mean, who wouldn..t want to see Angelina Jolie attacked by wild boars? Who wouldn..t want to see Brad Pit swung around by the heels and smashed on the wall? Who wouldn..t want to see Tom Cruise with molten lead being poured in his rectum? But eating them? NEVER!

Benji: What is your mission on The Sounds of the Underground Tour?
Oderus: I guess our mission was to prove to a lot of people who thought it could not be done, that Gwar could play in a festival setting day in and day out, in broad daylight, in front of thousands of people. Everyone on this tour is freaking out about Gwar and it..s not because we..re fucking everything up. It..s because the show is absolutely incredible and our organization is one of the most professional, hard working outfits in rock and roll. So if you..ve had your fill of fat, bloated egotistical, pampered rock and roll stars, Gwar is like a breath of fresh slash foul air.

Benji: What was the most brutal moment of the tour so far?
Oderus: The most brutal moment was in Phoenix, Arizona, when our merchandise booth blew apart because of the wind and a piece of steel fell and hit a couple of fans, sending them to the hospital. That was brutal; I spent the rest of the day getting them to sign legal contracts so we didn..t get sued. Nothing brutal happens on stage, we just ya know...decapitate the President, disembowel the new Pope, we dig up Reagan from the grave and run a sword through his chest.

Benji: What planets have you been banned from?
Oderus: Basically the whole galaxy; lets see, Canada, London, Richmond, Virginia, Aspen, Georgia. Now they..ve just kind of stopped. Now we don..t get in trouble for resurrecting Lacy Peterson and giving her mad cow disease then delivering her dead unborn fetus, we don..t get in trouble for digging up Jon Benet and taking our magic wand and blowing cum all over her. People don..t get offended by this stuff any more, they get way more offended by Eminem songs. They think if we ignore Gwar, they..ll go away. Ha Ha, that one backfired on 'em.
