PHOTOS: GWAR, THE RED CHORD, JOB FOR A COWBOY IN NEW YORK, DECEMBER 13, 2009

gwar new york 2009Photographer Jacqueline Cheng (who also took awesome shots of Rob Zombie for us last month) was on hand at Gwar’s show with The Red Chord and Job For A Cowboy on December 13th at New York’s Irving Plaza (we refuse to call it “Fillmore”!). Gwar were their usual, interesting-looking selves while apparently Guy and Greg Weeks from the Red Chord now think they’re in Iron Maiden and are wearing their own band t-shirts on-stage. JFAC had lots of tattoos and stretched earlobes and metal faces. Pics after the jump!

    I don’t like it when bands wear their own merch on stage. It’s one thing I don’t like about Maiden, even though I love everything else.

    • SonOF

      I was thinking the same thing (although I love The Red Chord). I have heard some bands say that while out on the road for a long time, sometimes their merch is the only clean stuff they have, so that is why they wear it (rather than the free publicity).

    wearing your own band’s shirts onstage takes balls. red chord, i salute you!

  • SonOF

    Guy from TRC is built like a linebacker (or maybe a wrestler) these days.

      I think Guy vs Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg “Performance Enhancing Drugs” Puciato would be the metal frontman brawl of the decade.

      • i’m not racist but i hate oceano

        even though I lov greg’s voice and songwriting, the dude looks big but is actually like 5 foot, so Guy would take it.

    the red chord was not wearing band t-shirts per se, as they explained, they also think it is lame to wear your own bands shirts but those were the “Red Chord Bowling Team Shirts” which all had their name and high score on the back.

    • SonOF

      nice. glad that was cleared up. :)

    • WowWee!

      Bullshit. If it was a bowling t shirt all the shirts would be the same like a uniform, yet we see the different shirts on.

      • Uncle Jesse

        gunface forgot to bring his shirt off the bus and didn’t have time to grab it. guy and the others gave him a hard time for it.

        • WowWee!

          I wonder if they bowl with Gwar and if Gwar loses will they kill The Red Chord?

      • Matty K

        Nope. The different shirt you see is from one of the JFAC dudes.

  • Gunnar

    If I was out of shirts i’d just go out shirtless. Imagine my fat, stretch-marked torso just hanging out there… yeah.

  • Baldish

    why would a member of another band that you are playing with wear your shirt? I mean I get if it is just like on a regular day but at the concert? If you dont know who Im am talking about, Brent from JFAC(who i love)

    • Facebook User

      you’ve never seen that before? why not? free shit, and showing support for your fellow tour mates.

      • Baldish

        no, I have seen bands wear merch from non-touring bands. Kind of weird but whatever they want to do I guess.

    Why does Jonny Davy of JFAC always look like he’s deepthroating the mic?

  • Satch Armstrong

    It’s a damned shirt, you sissies.
