42-579: A live version of "Have You Seen Me?". The single "S.F.W." (a staple of their live shows) was supposedly released on this EP as a bonus track, but this has been discounted by the band. In November 2009, a special edition of the album was released through Metal Blade, containing the CD and a bonus DVD containing Phallus in Wonderland and Tour De Scum. Gwar fans are referred to as "bohabs", named for Father Bohab ("bohab" literally means "habitually boring", which

63-455: A monstrous dog with very large teeth. He is usually seen wielding a large warhammer, most likely a reference to his role as drummer in the band. According to Gwar mythos, Jizmak Da Gusha was a beast of tremendous power, native to a planet known as "The Wide Wide World of Sports", which, according to Balsac the Jaws of Death , has "lots of frisbees". He was frozen in a block of ice, presumably near

84-588: A phallic hell beast that normally dangles from his crotch). The opening song, "Ham on the Bone" (which has a nod to grindcore ), explains this robbery. The story then shifts to Gwar headquarters in Antarctica , where Oderus’s slaves are ordered to shoot up a dinosaur egg with crack . The result is the mighty Gor Gor, a Tyrannosaurus Rex that wreaks havoc on America. Meanwhile, the Morality Squad has enlisted

105-517: A wisp. With Slave Pit Inc. focusing less time on the Gwar mythos, which was effectively concluded with the defeat of the Master in 2000, it is unlikely that more of his origin story will be revealed. When Gwar was first formed, their drummer was a character named Hans Orifice. Hans was originally played by Sean Sumner. He was replaced after a few shows by Jim Thompson. By the time Gwar's first album Hell-O

126-453: Is introduced. Bohab is played by one of the slaves on tour (according to Chuck Varga’s Bohab Central forum posts, it was Bob Gorman; he also went on to say that the voice was his), but is portrayed by Brad Roberts ( Jizmak Da Gusha ) in Phallus in Wonderland and It's Sleazy . "Pussy Planet", the album's closer, was co-written by Slymenstra Hymen , and was slated to be a duet with Beefcake

147-563: Is the only central Gwar character who has been played by only one person (Brad Roberts). Roberts first started playing with Gwar in 1989, after the year's North American tour. Jizmak is the only character who does not wear his armor during concerts so as not to interfere with his mobility as a drummer. He has two-bladed arm coverings resembling dragon mouths, a "gut-plate", and a loin cloth. These costume pieces have undergone minor changes, getting more detailed as time progressed. His headpiece mostly had subtle changes until 2004. In "Scumdogs of

168-506: Is the opposite of what Gwar and their fans are—it fits Father Bohab perfectly; Gwar speaks ill of their fans—to their delight—and they have since taken the term as a point of pride). Father Bohab was never actually on the album—he originally appeared in 1989, along with an early Cardinal Syn. On the Tour de Scum (the corresponding tour to Scumdogs of the Universe ), the Morality Squad story

189-497: The "guts" to include the omitted songs). Flattus Maximus does not perform on this album. Dewey Rowell left the band before recording began, and all of the lead guitars (save for two songs — "Crack in the Egg" and the title track) were recorded by Balsac the Jaws of Death . To this day, Balsac will usually play lead when performing songs from this album live. Tim Harriss (of Kepone , the band Michael Bishop left Gwar for) played lead on

210-440: The Gwar headquarters in Antarctica , for a millennium. When Gwar's former drummer Nippleus Erectus died after bathing in copious amounts of hydrochloric acid in the hope that it would work like LSD, and cause hallucinogenic effects , Gwar decided to thaw Jizmak to replace Nippleus. This was actually to replace Nippleus' replacement, Lee Beato, who was only present for a very short time. His end came with his total conversion to

231-601: The Mighty . Though not quite a duet, Slymenstra's voice can still be heard in the song. The song's opening bass riff is similar to the guitar riff to the Nirvana song " Rape Me " from the 1993 album In Utero ("Rape Me" was originally written in early 1991 pre-dating "Pussy Planet", with the demo version being released many years later on Nirvana's With the Lights Out box set) but uses different chords. The song ends with

252-485: The Universe even though a misprint in the pressing accredited Mosby. Roberts also played drums for Gwar spinoff bands RAWG , X-Cops and The Dave Brockie Experience . Roberts played drums for two X-Cops songs, "Beat You Down" and "Junkie," replacing Mike Dunn. He is featured as a vocalist on the song "Barbells" on the album "You Have The Right To Remain Silent...", though he is not the album's drummer. Jizmak Da Gusha

273-412: The Universe" and "America Must Be Destroyed" Jizmak had two big ears and a very large red jaw. The top half of his head was Roberts in makeup. Starting in "This Toilet Earth" and lasting until "Violence has Arrived" Jizmak had a similar red headpiece, except the ears were slightly shrunk, and a top half of the head was added. This had a doglike nose, beady black eyes, and a top jaw. The hair was removed from

294-426: The album's title track; Lee Harris (from Jizmak Da Gusha ’s old band Rosebud) played lead on "Crack in the Egg". Because of the absence of Flattus, the tour cycle surrounding this album was quite short. Jizmak Da Gusha Jizmak Da Gusha is the drummer for the heavy metal band Gwar . Although the costume has undergone many changes since the character was introduced, Jizmak's onstage get-up somewhat resembles

315-399: The band arguing. The Canadian release of this album does not feature "Crack in the Egg", "Have You Seen Me?" and "Rock N' Roll Never Felt So Good", and instead has earlier versions of "Krak Down" and "Bad Bad Men" (both from This Toilet Earth ) and a version of "O Canada" performed with synthesized infant cries (according to Gwar, this was included as a way to ridicule Canada for not having

336-452: The costume, it being Roberts' real hair, and he wore it short for a time. For the most part, the lower jaw stayed the same. This was the longest lasting Jizmak head. For the 2004 album "War Party" and 2005's "Live in Mt. Fuji" the headpiece was changed to closely resemble a wolf, with grey fur and distorted features. His hair was again long, like it is in real life. For the summer tour, as well as

357-404: The help of Father Bohab (a Catholic priest) to crucify Gwar in the media. Other songs of interest include "Have You Seen Me?", "Poor Ole Tom", and "The Road Behind", the latter of which is a parody of power ballads . A video, Phallus in Wonderland , was released as a supplement to the album's storyline. This album was followed by The Road Behind , an EP that contained that single as well as

378-483: The new album, his costume, as with the entire band has undergone changes. The mask retains lupine characteristics. The wolf's mouth is wider and the fur is brown, and the armor is composed of exposed muscle mass, as opposed to the Roman segmental armor he wore since "Violence has Arrived". In behind-the-scenes footage, the armor doesn't hinder his flexibility - he is able to reach all of his cymbals without trouble - and he

420-539: Was greatly inspired by Dave Brockie's fight with police officers while touring in Charlotte, North Carolina , in 1990. The controversy revolved around Brockie's rubbery penis adornment and ended with his arrest on charges of disseminating obscenity. Brockie was revolted by this attack on his rights so he created a concept album revolving around an elite "Morality Squad" that attacked the members of Gwar and stole Oderus's penile attachment (a.k.a. Cuttlefish of Cthulu,

441-446: Was released, the character of Hans Orifice had been replaced by Nippleus Erectus, played by Rob Mosby. Following the album's release, Mosby left the band and Pete Luchter served as Gwar's drummer under the alias Lee Beato. Luchter had to leave the band after only a few gigs due to a nervous breakdown. Shortly afterwards, Brad Roberts joined the band as drummer and created the character Jizmak Da Gusha. Roberts played drums on Scumdogs of
