Gwar's Satan School?

07/11/06
. (Gauntlet) Gwar, whose first ever commercial single at radio, a cover of original shock-rocker Alice Cooper's "School's Out", is currently going for adds, has apparently gotten some radio programmer's collective panties in a bunch. Reactions from detractors such as "GWAR is absolutely too satanic and unpure for our wholesome radio station", "This station will go talk radio before I play Gwar covering Alice Cooper!" and "If I play this record, everyone will surely be listening to satellite radio in no time!" have been mixed in with champions of the band, like KMRJ's MD Dwight Arnold, who comments "Leave it to Gwar to cover the only artist who's more gruesome than themselves! So fun to play Gwar for the first time, and it dosent scare all our KMRJ listeners". His sentiments are echoed by WWCT's PD Gabe Reynolds, who has this to offer: "Gwar's "School's Out" is kinda like a kick in the nuts..wait that's a bad thing....more like a punch in the face...that's still bad...hell, it's Gwar so turn it up and let your ears bleed.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
