![Rig Rundown - GWAR's Balsac the Jaws of Death and Pustulus Maximus [2014]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4Lcs8RVXWws/mqdefault.jpg)
‘When I first started playing guitar a year ago’ 😂😂
I don’t know much about GWAR but did he actually start playing a year ago (I started about a year and a half ago and he’s a million times better than me) or was it just a joke?
@@trav-dawg joke.
The Maximus tribe time counting, whom Pustulus belongs to, is different from ours.
I busted out laughing when he said that shit lmao.
🤣😂 i caught that to
You can tell how much this dude just loves playing guitar.
Not as much as he loves to dress up.
at a concert a few years ago i was able to wiggle my way to the front of the pit and i was only about a foot away from him. even with all the other gwar show antics going on it was mesmerizing to watch him play. when someone truly loves what they do its like it becomes its own art form. super cool experience
Tools and talent
@@eldritchyarnbeing3295 Man that's one of my favorite kinds of experiences. Getting up to the edge of the stage as close as you can be to one of the musicians, and just watching only them. All the other sound and commotion seems to recede into the background a bit, all your attention and senses are tuned directly on the one guy and you can really take in all the little detail and nuance of their musicianship
I love the fact he makes a couple of mistakes playing Ride The Lightening, but when he speeds it up it's flawless. I don't know how he can play with all that on.
I love the fact you misspelled "lightning" while pointing out his mistakes in a totally not ironic manner.
GinRummy i love how you, no i dont
I'm not picky...I liked all three (3) comments.
Ask buckethead also he's not from this planet.
@@Eminate2121 his spelling is completely irrelevant to his observation about his guitar playing.
``in a room filled with Marshall stacks`` oh a man of culture
Plus hes playing a through a jcm 800.
@@omarsharif927 Can't beat the JCM800
Deluxe Memory Man maybe a plexi could
Chainsaw tones are played out like his B.O.
The statement about AC/DC and the stacks behind him immediately made me appreciate this individual as a man of great understanding and culture.
Right on Mick...
I don't trust anyone who doesn't like AC/DC.
@@blacksabbath1022 I like that...
@@blacksabbath1022 the ones that say "bring me the horizon", "devil wears prada" and "avenged 7fold" are their favourite bands, fall into that category
I shed a tear of happiness for the Ramones shout out. Everything he said in terms of what made Johnny’s tone so awesome was 100 percent accurate. Almost NOBODY ever gets a Ramones cover right for that exact reason. It’s all downstrokes, all in the wrist, slightly less power on the off beat for a “DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down” sort of thing. Everything he mentioned, the power stance, the attitude, the downstrumming...spot on, man. Super underrated band with kickass powerful muscular riffs, especially their live albums. Respect, Pusty.
Could you imagine if these two bands actually toured together back in the late 80’s and early 90’s that would have been the best
Fun story: a few years ago their domain didn't get renewed for whatever reason, my buddy bought it up, then passed it back over to GWAR and they sent him a TON of merch and tickets as thanks.
Amazing group
Praise Bob!
Good on him.
Good on Gwar.
Dope story and thanks for not taking their domain
That’s awesome
"18 stacks. All the time. Wide open. Why do you think I'm deaf?"
😂👌
I'm So Glad That This Band Is Still Together
Yeah. Me Too. I Love Gwar. I Also Love Typing Like I Have A Sub-Average IQ.
Elan Sleazebaganno gwar is one of those bands that i think Just won’t die
@@THEshaggyrogers Yes. I Completely Agree With You.
I dont know man. Even dave said gwar was rad because anyone could slip into the gear and the band could live thousands of years lol. But the second he dies they change the singer? Might just be me but im sure we could have found someone to sound like him. I totally gave up on them now. Im sure they are still great but I liked oderus* . they could have made it a reincarnation thing or zombie maybe. I don't know. What do I know about knowing stuff? Also can someone please sub my channel thing? I'll get you back. Please and thanks.
@@michaeltodd2923 I am too am not thrilled on the vocals situation. Sasha Baron Cohen would have been a suitable Dave replacement!
GWAR is a community of kick-ass artists who figured out how to never grow up.
Wear makeup
Lordi does it better
@@wendel5868 lmfao ok troll
Yeah...Antifa's "rock band"....
@@wendel5868 Nah Lordi's mature.
I literally agree with almost everything he said. From the ride the lighting, Sepultura, downpicking, not using a stool, power stance. Feels validating
Didn't think I could love Pustulus more than I already do....and then he plays a Deicide riff. Fuck yes!
What song is the riff from? I recently got into Deicide and would like to know.
@@matthewmiller6704 When Satan Rules His World
@@matthewmiller6704 its a killer fucking tune.
@Matthew Miller The song is: Kill the Christain. It's on the album Once upon the cross.
@caseydeakins3074 incorrect, but the riffs are quite similar actually.
My kid brother turned me on to Gwar when we were young, and after hearing their album, my first thought was , "Wow, these guys are really great musicians". Honestly. That cut right through all the costumes, vulgarity, and blood, which I came to like later. But yeah, without their musicianship, I never wouldve been interested in them. Bravo GWAR!
I go to the shows actually for their music not the blood.
What was your first album? Mine was America Must Be Destroyed
GWAR needs their own children’s show on PBS, Noggin, Nick Jr, and it should be just. Like. THIS! Teach the kids GWAR... Teach the kids!
Fun for the whole fuckin' family!! 👏👏😂
There was a show where GWAR's singer was living in the protagonists closet, only one season I think
Cartoon network would probably take it on lol they would end up looking like teen titans go tho
Well they DID remarket Toxic Avenger into a Toxic Crusaders kids show...
They were on knd, the difference was was that grey delisle was the singing voice. but the rest we're the band themselves im not kidding look it up its awesome.
Incredible how he can play with that outfit on. Seeing that guitar reminds me of Dimebag, man I sure miss him.
Fokk yeah, me too bro! He made the world a better place. CFH! DIMEBAG for life!
@@electricfil Darrel used to come to our gigs in D/FW in a local band I was in during the 90's. I had no idea who he was, he bought me a LOT of beer, would bring it to the stage.
Didn't find out who he actually was until a few years later. Very laid back, average working class guy. RIP
somehow he looks chubby, skinny, and buff all at the same time
🤣😂
This may shock you, but his 6 pack is just drawn on
Lmao best comment
Years of drug use..... the good stuff
LMAO!
My Dad if he was still alive would love this video a lot he was a huge Gwar fan, i still got his cds
Hell yes. A man of good taste. God bless him.
That’s cool sorry for your loss .
Hey bro. I love your life, my dude.
"Mahogany back, maple top, and then I crushed a crocodile into it."
Camera 1 ,Camera 2 Camera 1 Camera 2 Camera 1 Camera 2
A little annoying ha?
I liked it
There just trying to find his good side haha
WAYNES WORLD INTENSIFIES
Well, you know how these things go... one guy teaches another guy a riff, and they tell two friends, and they tell their friends, and so on and so on
Best all ages show I took my kids to ever. Gwar made it all about the kids and they loved it. Like a super soaker party. They had videos out on mtv at the time. Too much fun. Love you guys.
Yeah man, definitely for kids! Especially when they squirt blood on everyone and bring Trump on stage and cut his throat! My kids love it!
Why the FUCK does UA-cam say there's one reply to this comment but when I click to see it there's zero goddamn comments?
@@liquidbraino Probably a deleted reply.
Im glad he described perfectly the main thing about punk guitar . Attitude .
Everybody gangsta until a heavily dressed guy with
a dime guitar starts playing Ride The Lightning
looking back at this comment i puke
Buddy dime never had a reverse in line but🤘🏼
@@Murderachi that's what I thought.
Landan Rideout Dimebag had one in line guitar that he played at monsters of rock in Russia. He played it on Primal Concrete Sludge
GETCHA PUUUUULĹLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Landan Rideout he definitely had one called the “concrete sledge”. Never say never buddy
This guy tore it up 🤘 One of the best episodes! He's just so damn likable 👍
I agree with him.”If you don’t like AC/DC then.....”
overrated crap,grow up dude,come on,learn something about good music
First of all,i grow up 45 years ago. 2nd,music is part of my life for 40 years so i know my share about music. And we all have different tastes in music. I prefer Scorpions over Slipknot and you might not agree with me but that’s ok. I guess all that crowds live at the River Plate show need to grow up for liking bad music right?...See ya! at the D.R.I mosh pit.
“And then I crushed a crocodile in to it” bad ass man...
This guy is gonna be decent when he gets two years of practice finished
need further explanation...
@@velizarzhelev6552 .....How?
falconater68 I mean all he’d have to do is watch the video for about 2 minute and he’d get it
So? Has his practice paid off?
1500 years ago
His shoulder-pieces look like a boss from Contra.
the one from the winter scene =)
Looks like more of a shoulder piece from Diablo III
@@bendeleon4512 ya some mix between what the barb and necromancer would have
One of the trolls from God of war
They were....
There’s something unexplainably satisfying about watching a man rip into a heavy riff through a wall of Marshall’s.
Pustulus is a worthy successor to Flattus (RIP) - can tear it up and he's a funny chill kinda guy
Not a fan of GWAR in the slightest but this guy has a great appreciation for all things rock and heavy metal and he plays incredibly well! Probably the most entertaining video from the series!
pfffft
You can listen to Slutman City and not love GWAR?
I love how painfully awkward he is at times. He really exemplifies how even paradoxically technologically advanced yet marginally sentient aliens can struggle with insecurity while in front of a camera. So. Like. Us.☺️
Ha ha, love the wording...
GWAR should have a guitar made from Dave Brockie's ashes and epoxy.
He would have dug that.
Looks like cuddlefish-skin to me ; )
"Late eighties, early nineties metal..."
Ahhh, the Golden Age of death metal. This creature knows what it's talking about kids.
Somewhere between Death, Painkilleric Morbid angelic canibal Corpsic riffs
@@ryanroubert2483 Seriously stupid shit that anyone can play with oh........about 15 minutes of practice. All buried in a horrible level of distortion straight out of a mud hole.
@@howabouthetruth2157 OK boomer.
He felt the Sepultura riff to the Maximus...
Bout time you had a Class act like Gwar on the channel Gram.
Can watch multiple times, start to finish. Greatness on display on many levels.
He comes off very humble and genuine lol...he'd make an awesome instructor
I thought his guitar was covered with Brussels sprouts. The ultimate terror
🤣😂😂
Fucking lol! You win the internet today
Broccoli!!
I think a GWAR song about eating your veggies would be brutal. Like Womb With A View, but about eating healthy and portion control.
I can't unsee this now... why... just why
11:53 - I love how a man that manly with so much gruff and gwar shit on, is all "i'm not gonna tell. _It's a secret, heehee"_
Stop switching the camera angle around while he's playing, jesus.
im pretty sure they're doing it to screw with us.
I cam here just to make this comment.
watching stoned and hadnt even realized 5 mins in til i scrolled down and read the top comment. 5 mins later youve ruined the vid for me its all i can focus on l0l
@@lbjake21 lol
It's annoying as hell
Guitar tone is filthier than their stage show
Like GG Allin's bedsheets.
Like the filthy load that was blown!
I Like That Tone
It’s actually pretty tight and clean. It’s his attack that is filthy.
Hard Rock Relics lol what are you talking about. It’s nothing but shrill distortion
This is how these videos should be.
Honestly though
“And then i crushed a crocodile into it“ 😂😂😂😂
that one got me too.
Haha, classic GWAR comment
Horns up on this shit!!And I liked the fact he didn’t bullshit the entire time.He dug right off into his favorite riffs!!Awesome!!!
This guy must have his own youtube channel
Yes 😂
He had a couple episodes called 'Pusty's Mailbag' that are pretty good.

Bro I really hope so.
Purgasound
(I think.. but I believe that's the name)
so sad Dave Brockie isn't with us anymore.
He sounds like a rick and morty character
Nah, more like a Metalocalypse or Mr. Pickles character
I think he sounds like Seth Rogen
I wholeheartedly agree about ACDC
Some of the greatest riffs and rock intros all time. Vocalist is grating tho srry
Bon Scott is so much better
I feel like 50 years have to pass before GWAR is fully appreciated.
Fantastic! I'd love to see Balsac next. Or, even the two of them together.
Gwar boy I have missed you guys so much and your music
I really really miss Dave's vocals. Thank God we still have all the albums to listen to rest in peace Dave. Rock on gwar. 😷
When i learned to Play guitar about a Year ago :)
7:17, I'm pretty sure he said dive-bombs, but I heard Dime-bombs. The only man who could make a guitar squeal that good with just a bar and some very good fingering.
HA!!!You are not the only one that heard that ,my metal brother!!!R.I.P. DIME!!!!!!
He said dimebombs obviously
Dime-bombs baby!
Same here.. so cool multiple people felt that
Pretty sure he actually said Dime Bombs
"I first started playing guitar a year ago. I won the ancient Battle Maximus audition 1500 years ago."
Pustulus joined GWAR before he even learned how to play.
That's because time flows backwards on their part of the universe.
Oh man this guy is awesome. He's studied his ass off.
He awesome and he's hilarious.
This is a top 5 gear factor no fucking DOUBT.
Awesome to see GWAR represented! Would have loved to hear Gor Gor,!
"CREATION !!!"
...... Of insane rule !!!
...All we hear, Desperate Cry !
THE BEST!
12 minutes of riffing, 30 seconds of gear talk 😂 love it!
This was incredibly informative and entertaining. Seen you live twice and this short video helped me realize how much I truly love you guys. Keep on keeping on.
Looks like a power rangers antagonist lmaoo
😂😂😂
😃🤣😂
Man when is Dean going to make a signature model for him and make a production run? I'll be there day one to buy it.
You’re looking at it
Picking up a slight Dimebag Aura here. RIP Brother.
Aint dick wrong with that brother!..getchapull
The dime ax n the dime bombs n just playing everything
Rip brothers loved u live.
@@rioducci4798 You are correct Sir
XD “if you don’t like ACDC (BEEP) you!” just the way he said it, tickled my gizzards
He's right about the Ramones!.
holy shit! this was the best one yet! "when i won the ancient audition 1500 yrs ago . . . "
What a monster guitar player (pun intended)
His tone is always brutal, man knows his shit straight
pun?
Growing up in the 90s listening to these guys, concerts, etc. and now seeing this is surreal. I could listen to those riffs all day long.
The bonus riff was Van Halen You Really Got Me Now. Really enjoyed this video, thank you Pustulus Maximus
that was a good video. that made me happy. a few minutes of happiness.
These guys crack me up
Ahhhhj it's your boy Pustulus Maximus!!!!
Never was a big fan of gwar's music, but this guy is pretty entertaining to watch.
Same. I never really liked them any time I have them a listen. I'll have to try again. But I like listening to this guy, and I loved listening to Oderus Ungerus.
Seriously? You must be the type of kid who laughs hysterically for 2 weeks every time you see your neighbor's dog take a shit in the back yard.
@@howabouthetruth2157 Look, It's the guy with a superior sense of humor. Bow down to this guy, he's special.
You see Ol’ Pusty sqattin around on a stool playin guitar? SHIT NAW MAN! This is how practice! 18 F@&kin Fullstacks rollin, WIDE OPEN, ALL THE TIME! Thats why I’m F@&kin DEAF.
That shit made me laugh real hard. Pusty is a man, well an Alien really, after my own heart.
Crushed a crocodile into it?!?! Haha.... Gotta love this guy
"When I get to the end of a solo and I dont know what Im doin anymore"....fun times.
Lol he's not a good actor....behind the gag ..this guy is really smart and he knows his shit. Right on. Dead on about Johnny Ramone....lol
Seriously one of the best shows I've ever seen. Saw them twice on the tiny stage at Bogart's in Cincinnati and was like, "how are they even able to PLAY!?" There were a million people on stage, all kinds of body parts and fluids flying all over...not to mention the giant outfits they have on...all on this little itty bitty stage. It was AMAZING!!
I have a full forearm tattoo of this dude 🤘🤘
Wow. An ML with the reversed head stock actually looks killer.
Like the tone. Marshall still kickin'.
It all sounded the same.........the same old muddy ass overly distorted SHIT.
When his axe starts squeeling with the neck at 12 o clock about 7 minutes in, I felt Dimebag tap my shoulder
Best vid from loud wire in a while
I'm not that into GWAR music, but one of my friends is. Went to a live show with him and it was quite a spectacle, I was entertained!
Sick playing and siiiick tone I love it
I usually dislike dean-ish guitars but this one looks dope
Oui Jeremy
Your disin on dime terratory.... tread lightly...
Getchapull!🤘
Tone?..........TONE????...........WHAT FUCKING "TONE"??? All you hear is WAY too much distortion. Go talk to A REAL guitarist and learn how MATURE guitar players figure out that when you get the hell rid of most of that childish, worthless distortion, you finally get to experience THE REAL TONE OF A GUITAR.......that is, if you can get your hands on a worthy guitar to begin with........because this sure as hell ain't it.
@@howabouthetruth2157 nice try
The last lick for points is....you really got me Van Halen style!
GWAR! THANK YOU! LOVED YOU GUYS SINCE THE FIRST TIME I SEEN YOU ON Beavis and Buthead!!
Mad props for not dropping the same 'ol tired Heavy Metal / Rock band influences on us.
Nice Guitar.
Just love how he effortlessly goes through various sub-genres of heavy metal and doesn't miss a beat! Switches up from Deicide to The Ramones like it's no big deal. That's the hallmark of a good guitarist.
His ML is gorgeous!
Ride the lightning, that takes me back. We played that tape in the car so many times in the car it finally wore out.
This is BY FAR my favorite one of these
'Sepultura is always awesome!' Nice quote dude
i 'm agree, Deicide, Marduk, Sepultura, .. good choices
Straight up rock riffs with no fucks given. Love to see the older rock influences expressed here. I'm loading up an early Sepultura playlist now!
Dude this guy is the SHIT! Hittin the dime bag Whammy bar squeals!! That was the shit. GWAR- so underrated.
Rip Dave Glad I got to see GWAR twice in the early 90s. What they did to OJ was priceless.
Start playing a year ago and seems like his been playing for years
hes fucking with you
R P *_And he’s fucking with you._*
Ahahahahaha the complexity of the simplest joke is a astounding
Scumdog years aren't the same as human years.
Over 400 dislikes? F off! His enthusiasm is CONTAGIOUS! And I'm not even a GWAR fan. If this doesn't make you pick up your guitar then you're lost.
