Saw the 2005 version of Gwar at Sounds of the Undergeound at the Tweeter Center in Chicago in 100 degree heat... Took an hour for the stage to get set for a 40 minute set... we were all just so hot and exhausted after hours of a festival but 99% of the crowd was so happy and impressed by their performance we forgot all about the heat.

Anyone who says GWAR can't play has never listened to them honestly. They're fantastic musicians and I'm glad people can recognize that 👊

I'm genuinely upset that I wasn't born in the 70s to enjoy GWAR in the 90s.

This was the first legit band I ever saw live in 2008 when I was 13. I blame this band for lighting a fire in me and becoming a musician myself,and loving music soo much 🤘🏼🤘🏼thank you

In all my days, I never thought I'd come to see this band perform on NPR 🤣

NPR you owe me a new keyboard (and a cup of coffee). Never in a million years would I have imagined "GWAR: Tiny Desk Concert" would appear in my feed. Well done!!

Whoever is in charge of the line up for Tiny Desk…I tip my biggest hat to you 🙌

I love how they stop and do a pledge drive in the middle of the show😂 haven't seen Gwar since the 90s lol. I love the variety of all kind of music on Tiny Desk. You will literally see everything. Great job 👏

I have never heard of this band before. I'm 71, Idk, where have I been?😮😂

They're in a rather unique niche of the heavy metal world

I first heard of them from the MTV show Viva La Bam. They actually had a lot of sick music on that show.
