Gwar Video: The Taliban Behead Joe Biden
For a brief moment I was ready to be mad about Gwar beheading Joe Biden at their Riot Fest performance last month. “Aww, no, have Gwar gone conservative??” Then I remembered they’ve done this to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan and it’s all part of the shtick, watched the clip, laughed, and began writing this article. It’s important sometimes to check myself with a reminder that pretty much every politician is evil (and indeed, Biden is no saint at all, even if he’s immeasurably better than Trump), and it’s also important that Gwar fans get sprayed by fake blood and semen for an hour straight at the band’s live shows. It’s the little things, ya know?
Give the footage a watch below. It’s been circulating since the performance took place in mid-September, but Loudwire re-posted it yesterday and put it on our radar, so be sure to thank them for that.
Gwar will head out on tour from late October through mid December with Napalm Death and Eyehategod. They also recently launched an NFT.
