GWAR's Pustulus Maximus Plays His Favorite Riffs

[@philwhiting5625]

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.

[@Eminate2121]

I love the fact you misspelled "lightning" while pointing out his mistakes in a totally not ironic manner.

[@bernardshakey9107]

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.

[@amasterofbation]

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.

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!
