\"BvOV_07CAAEnrA0\"<\/a>In 2014, the metal world was dealt a huge blow with the sad and shocking passing of long time Scumdog and leader of GWAR, Oderus Urungus. After Oderus made his way through the cosmos many were left wondering what would become of his fellow Scumdogs. Would they carry on? Well, much like Kansas said, \u201cCarry On Wayward Son\u201d and so they did.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this summer\u2019s annual Gwar BQ, GWAR revealed that Blothar, father of bassist Beefcake the Mighty and longtime friend of GWAR, would reign as Oderus\u2019 most fitting successor. Together they hit the road for the GWAR Eternal tour where GWAR proved to not just be resilient band but a band that was a much stronger and powerful entity than any of us even imagined.\u00a0\u00a0 On the Atlanta stop of the GWAR Eternal tour, I had the chance to talk to the mighty Blothar about GWAR, his relationship with his son, and just how he loves to party with Rick James every weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy getting to know the mighty Blothar!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blothar, it\u2019s an honor and a privilege! Thanks for taking the time to talk to me today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, no problem. Hey, I like that shirt (points at my Galactic Empire shirt). That\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

So does being interviewed for a website called The Great Southern Brainfart fill you with joy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh absolutely. The Great Southern Brainfart. It sounds like William Faulkner having an aneurism while in the bathroom so sure, it sounds great.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

That\u2019s amazing. Can I use that as my tag line? I\u2019ll give you credit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure you can! The Great Southern Brainfart: It’s like William Faulkner taking a dump while having a heart attack. I\u2019m sure he had a bunch of booze shits.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Booze shits. You think so?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely. He was a big fucking drunk.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Would he have been a GWAR fan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, probably not at all. I don\u2019t think he was much of a fan of anything except himself but he was a good guy nonetheless.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

What iconic writer or poet from the past do you feel would have been a GWAR fan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man, that\u2019s a good question. Balsac (GWAR guitarist) of course. He\u2019s a GWAR fan. He wrote a lot of things. It\u2019s probably a safe bet that the Marquis De Sade would\u2019ve loved us. The Earl of Rochester definitely was a GWAR fan. He wrote poems that were practically GWAR songs back in the Elizabethan period I think it was. They were filthy fucking versus so he definitely would\u2019ve been a GWAR fan. William Byrd. Yeah, he would\u2019ve been a GWAR fan too! He always talked about fondling his slaves which I do all the time.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

What is one question that you\u2019re so tired of being asked that if you hear it one more time you\u2019ll use someone\u2019s face as a urinal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If somebody asks me one more time if I\u2019m tired of being asked a question one more time, than that question will make me want to kill them [laughs]. I\u2019m kidding. Actually, the question that I am more tired of hearing than anything else is, \u201cWill you do another GWAR record?\u201d My answer to that is, \u201cWhat the fuck do you think? It\u2019s a rock band.\u201d If we\u2019re trying to keep going of course we\u2019re going to do another fucking record.\u00a0\u00a0 Another question I get tired of hearing is, \u201cHow does it feel to fill Oderus\u2019 shoes?\u201d How does it feel? What are they asking me? Oderus didn\u2019t wear any shoes. It\u2019s ridiculous. He did wear shoes at one point and I filled them with urine.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Is that why he never wore shoes again?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. He was a dipshit.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

So this is Blothar\u2019s first time in Atlanta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blothar has been to Atlantis but not to Atlanta.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Have you had a chance to take in the sites?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we first got into Atlanta I was hanging around the bathroom at the Varsity trying to meet chicks. It didn\u2019t work out. There were a lot of fat ones coming in and out of there. Then, of course, I went to the Clermont Lounge and got a rub and tug in the Rub n\u2019 Tug room and drank a few beers. It was good.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

How have the GWAR slaves across the US been treating you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, you know, the chicks have been great. At the end of the night, there\u2019s nothing like a three headed blow job but ya know? Not every chick has three heads but you just gotta take what you can get. Aside from that, people love it. The fans are relieved that GWAR is still GWAR. They are perhaps surprised but mostly relieved. There are people that write off GWAR without Oderus out of hand and those people simply don\u2019t know very much about GWAR. The first several times I saw the band Oderus wasn\u2019t even the singer. We\u2019re doing what we can do and I think we\u2019re doing it well. I think people should come and see it and give it a chance. Or not. I don\u2019t give a shit. There are plenty of people at the shows who have never seen GWAR before in their lives. It is different but nothing really ever stays the same. Hell, even if Oderus was still here it wouldn\u2019t be the same.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Hell, GWAR is an ever changing band. The GWAR that put out Battle Maximus wasn\u2019t the same GWAR that put out Hell-O. GWAR was always changing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly. I don\u2019t think anyone who has been coming out to the shows has been disappointed so we\u2019re going to keep doing this.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Aside from underage girls, what\u2019s your favorite thing to eat while on the road?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, pussy baby. That\u2019s what I love to eat. 24 hours a day. I have breakfast pussy, lunch pussy, dinner pussy, supper pussy, late night snack pussy. It\u2019s all pussy all the time. A big ol\u2019 pussy buffet. Blothar eats pussy. I want that to be the headline. Chicks need to know that Blothar will eat your fucking pussy.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

If you could feed any celebrity to the Human Meat Grinder, who would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, a celebrity. Let me think. I think I would like to feed Jesus into the meat grinder. Man, all the good ones are already dead. Don Knotts, Dom Deluise, Andy Griffith. They would\u2019ve been great food.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Is there any music that we\u2019d be surprised to hear that Blothar was a fan of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe Bobby Blue Bland and the Bobby Blue Bland Blues Band? You know what? What I have in common with Bobby Blue Bland and the Bobby Blue Bland Blues Band is that I will eat your pussy. Any fans who are reading this that wanna go out and buy a Bobby Blue Bland and the Bobby Blue Bland Blues Band album should.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

What do you think of Kim Kardashians ass and will you be killing it on stage at any point?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh I wouldn\u2019t kill her ass. I would fuck her ass for a long time. Than I\u2019d pop it off and shove it down her throat. Then I\u2019d take a shit on her. I would eat Kim Kardashian\u2019s pussy.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

How come we never hear GWAR talked about on Ancient Aliens? Isn\u2019t GWAR the original Ancient Aliens?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course we are! We watch that show and it\u2019s just a fucking joke. When we watch that show it\u2019s like watching a VH1 \u201cWhere are they Now\u201d series. They\u2019re talking about all this shit that we did a long time ago. Building the pyramids and Stonehenge which was just a fucking croquet course that we set up. Those stupid heads on Easter Island was one of Balsac\u2019s earliest experiments. I mean, we used to give him things to play with and sit him on an island where he couldn\u2019t do any harm so that\u2019s what those are. It was just Balsac on an island alone trying to make some friends for himself to play with. Machu Pichu. Of course we were there. We were in Ancient Mesopotamus, Ancient Hippopotamus, we were in all those places.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Should we tweet Giorgio Tsoukalous right now and see what the fuck is up with that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That dude with the weird hair? He\u2019s a fucking douchebag. I\u2019m gonna rape him to pieces. Him and that Von Erik Shmoltzer or whatever his name is. What a bunch of fucking idiots. Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe that I\u2019m going to fuck them and eat them. The only thing dumber than those guys are Juggalos.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that GWAR hates Juggalos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m curious what our fans would think if GWAR went on tour with Insane Clown Posse. They\u2019d probably hate us. Get your readers to write in about that one. If I could get my hands on one of those guys I would shove a three liter bottle of Faygo so far up his ass. I would just love that. Just force feed one of those stupid fucking clowns some Faygo.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Maybe this wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea. GWAR could tour with ICP and then in every town just kill all the Juggalos ridding the Earth of them forever. It would be kind of like natural selection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. Well honestly, Juggalos are the greatest human beings on Earth. Never have I seen a group of more intelligent, passionate, dedicated, sincere, deeply thoughtful human beings than at a Juggalo gathering. Wonderful women. Ladies and gentlemen conducting themselves in a manner than reflects centuries of good breeding and human tradition. The true potential of humanity is embodied in the Juggalos. That\u2019s my take on it.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve really figured this out. What are we missing then and how can get what you\u2019re getting out of the Juggalos?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clearly what you need to do is drop a bunch of acid, think about being a serial killer, listen to 2nd<\/sup> rate knock off hip hop music, and have sex with Chlamydia ridden whores in a big muddy field. That, my friend, is the path to enlightenment. It\u2019s the pinnacle of human civilization. It\u2019s the most that you humans can hope for.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

If Hollywood was to make a movie about your life, who would play you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dom Deluise. He was going to play Beefcake years ago. On a serious, note, it\u2019s come to light that Beefcake thinks I\u2019m his father.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard this rumor that you are Beefcake\u2019s father.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s been trying to strike up a relationship with me. He\u2019s been trying to send me letters, ask me questions, etc. I don\u2019t allow him to speak directly to me. He talks to me through an attorney. He sends me handwritten letters through the mail. Usually he\u2019s asking me for money, pizza, and he wants me to read him stories at night. All the things he didn\u2019t have as a child. I can\u2019t do any of that because I\u2019m too fucking busy having a good time. It\u2019s the same reason I couldn\u2019t help his mother raise him. I can\u2019t be tied down with a kid.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

If you could go back in time, what old school band would you want to hang out with and do a shit ton of blow?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, you can go back in time. We do it all the time. We are time travelers but to answer your question, Rick James and the Stone City Band without a doubt. That dude knew how to have a good time. He was the most fun. Who has as much fun today as Rick James? Do you think the band fun has as much fun as Rick James? They should be called \u201cbum\u201d because hearing that shit band bums me out. That big fat dude that played keyboards in the Stone City Band? That\u2019s me. I was black then. That was my black period. We did a lot of cocaine and not only that but we had a little bit of fun tying up chicks and burning them with crack pipes. Good times man. Good times.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

How often do you go back and hang with Rick James?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man, I go hang with him every fucking weekend. Every weekend, Rick James is alive again and \u201cSuperfreak\u201d and \u201cMary Jane\u201d has just come out. I hang out with that fucking weirdo white dude guitar player who wore a halter top. It\u2019s always a good time. Everyone\u2019s got their hair cut like Cleopatra. It\u2019s a fucking blast.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

King Diamond or Neil Diamond: Who would win in head to head combat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think actually Lou Diamond Phillips would kick both their asses but man, I\u2019ll be honest. King Diamond\u2026 that\u2019s a beautiful chick. I would eat her pussy. Fuck Neil Diamond.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

What is Blothar\u2019s favorite song to sing the shower? You do shower right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t shower. I take baths.\u00a0 Spit baths actually.\u00a0 While I\u2019m having a spit bath, my favorite song to sing is \u201cItsy Bitsy Spider.\u201d I sing a lot of Grand Funk Railroad tunes. I sing, \u201cIf\u201d by Bread. That\u2019s one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

That song makes me cry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Me too. Because it sucks so bad [laughs]! Those are all good tunes.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

What makes you laugh more than anything in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, just sitting around jerking off makes me laugh. Reaching down between my legs and feeling those four dicks. Unveiling my hideous bouquet of penises to 18 year olds and fucking them four at a time. That\u2019s how I first met U2 actually. They are always on me. Adam Clayton, The Edge, Bono, whatever that fucking drummer\u2019s name is. Nobody knows him. Taking a dump in Bono\u2019s mouth is always hilarious.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

This year we saw the Fappening where all these celebrity nudes got posted. Are there any sex tapes or photos of you floating around that you wish to hide?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. There are many sex tapes of me. I\u2019d post them to the internet myself but I haven\u2019t. Sex tapes of me? I\u2019d watch it again and again and again. If there are any chicks that are reading this, I will fuck them and film it. If there are any chicks out there that like chubby dudes, get on this.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

If you could send a message out to Oderus through the cosmos, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, he owes me like 40 billion yams. That\u2019s how long it\u2019s been. We use yams as currency where we come from and he owes me like 40 billion yams which, in today\u2019s dollars, that\u2019s more money than what exists on your planet. He was always borrowing my yams and kola nuts and wives for that matter. You dumb motherfucker. We miss you but bring back my fucking yams.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Ok, let\u2019s play a game that I played with Oderus called \u201cKILL, FUCK, MARRY.\u201d He used to love this one. Ok: Kim Kardashian, Dr. Phil, Ann Coulter: Kill, Fuck or Marry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

FUCK, FUCK, and FUCK.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

One after the other or at the same time with your bag of dicks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would fuck Kim Kardashian\u2019s ass with Ann Coulter and Dr. Phil? I\u2019d just shit in his mouth. I\u2019d love to feed him some soft serve. Dr. Phil is a fucking moron. Doctor. Hell, I\u2019m a doctor.<\/p>\n

==============================================<\/p>\n

Blothar, thank you so much not killing me or eating my pussy. I really enjoyed getting to know you.<\/strong><\/p>\n
