Hopefully people picket his funeral

Hopefully he was the only brains behind that family's twisted racket and they go bankrupt.

I'd love to see the bikers who protect military funerals from his "church" do this.

Nope his daughter is still alive and well. IIRC, she's the lawyer of the group too.

They're all lawyers.

They're a family of lawyers basically.

Is Gwar death metal?

Not really, more straightforward heavy metal. GWAR was always more about the spectacle than the music. Costumes, world leaders being executed in effigy on stage, prop bodily fluids being sprayed on the crowd, etc.

Oh gotcha, they're like early Kiss squared.

Yeah, same vein but never got caught in the trap of taking themselves seriously.

An instance in which compassion is the sickest burn of all...

I heard they weren't having a funeral.

However, it seems that there may not be a funeral at all, according to WBC member Margie Phelps, who told Huffington Post editor Nick Wing in February that memorials were not in line with their church policy.

@nickpwing
We don't worship the dead in this church, so there'd be no public memorial or funeral to picket if any member died.

Not that I give a excrement. I think protesting at a funeral is bullshit either way. I could get behind defacing/defiling his grave though, that would take some balls.

Not to mention a human meat grinder that fans were encouraged to come on stage and jump in.  Just terrible music, but if you can watch an early 90's set somewhere it is pretty awesome.

If there is any concern of protest, they should just dig 3 more graves.  3 random random protesters are buried alive.  End of problem.

Oh, I've seen them twice. 2007 and 2008 I think. When I got back to my dorm after the '07 show I was completely blue from the fake bile.

To be honest, I had no idea they were around that long.  I imagine the live show just got better.
